A LARGE AND RARE BLUE AND WHITE DELFT-STYLE TULIP HOLDERKangxiElaborately constructed in the manner of a Dutch Delft original as a five-storey tiered room decoration, the top section as a tapering pyramid, above three tiers each set with four spouts at an angle to hold fresh flowers, the fourth tier as the base of a table with a recumbent bird between each leg, the lowest section as a square plinth painted on the four faces with alternate figures crossing a bridge and rocky clusters of shrubs. 62cm (24 1/2in) high.Footnotes:清康熙 代爾夫特風格青花山水圖花塔Provenance: A Scandinavia private collectionVanderven Oriental Art, 'S-Hertogenbosch, 31 October 2016A European private collection來源：斯堪的納維亞私人收藏斯海爾托亨博斯古董商Vanderven Oriental Art，2016年10月31日歐洲私人收藏The tulip-holder is modelled after a Dutch prototype produced in Delft porcelain by Adriaen Kocx from the De Grieksche A factory, which specialised in these items. The obelisk shape, associated with classical antiquity, is also reminiscent of Chinese pagodas. The Delft prototypes were in turn inspired by Moresque spouted flower holders from the Middle East. The Chinese porcelain versions of this form are very rare and some examples replicated the AK mark of Adriaen Kocx on the base. The tulip flower was introduced in Holland during the late sixteenth century and highly appreciated by connoisseurs and scholars, and then speculators and traders moved in, seizing upon the bulbs with the recklessness of Wall Street bankers chasing collateralised debt obligations. By the early 1630s a madness had gripped Holland and in 1634 one bulb of the Viceroy type sold for 2500 florins (a sheep cost 10 florins). By 1636-1637, the price of a single tulip bulb fetched even larger prices, sometime selling for the price of a house. Compare with a similar blue and white tulip-holder, Kangxi, in the collection of the Groninger Museum, illustrated by D.F.Lunsingh Scheurleer, Chinese Export Porcelain, New York, 1974, no.108. A similar pair of blue and white tulip vases, Kangxi, was sold at Sotheby's New York, 23 January 2020, lot 473.

Wisdom of Drogheda An Irish 15-Bore Travelling Percussion Pistol by Wisdom, Drogheda, c.1824-1825. Damascus 5” octagonal twist barrel, slightly swamped, stamped with Irish census L-Y 112, chisel engraved breech tang featuring Martial trophy and incorporating rear-sight. Flat lock engraved with chevron border, scrolls, and signed ‘WISDOM’, 2 bents, with scroll engraved hammer. Figured walnut full stock with chequered grip, engraved steel butt-cap and engraved steel t/guard with Martial trophy to the bow and pineapple finial. Steel ramrod pipes and horn tipped wooden ramrod. Retaining some overall colour. 9½” overall. GWO. Leslie Martin notes: Only 2 bents, but then this is all you would expect if it as originally conceived as a flintlock. The frizzen spring mount has been expertly filled in, and at least some of the engraving done after this. I.e., it could have been completed as a Flint, but then converted, with additional engraving, in particular the foliage in the position where the frizzen spring was. But it could also have been made up as a perc from the outset, using available flint parts. JM was the barrel forger. His name has only ever appeared on flintlocks to date, but as he appears.com to have worked until 1830, there is no reason why his name shouldn't be on an early percussion. At first sight the hammer looks incongruous, but - forgiving Wisdom for using an English style hammer (perhaps the Irish style hadn't evolved in the late 1820's!) - the foliage on the hammer & that on the lock do tie up. Condition of the gun is too good for the hammer to have been damaged and replaced. And the screw is original, so not ‘lost’. The lock border engraving matches the band on the barrel breech. The lock border engraving is present at the removed/missing portion of the fence/pan BUT is not present under the remaining stub. Thus, applied after the fence/pan cut back for percussion use. The petal/ leaf engraving on the lock tail matches the engraving on the drum. Conclusion: made as a percussion using largely flintlock parts c. 1824 – 1825. Its importance is (i) in the utilization of flintlock parts to produce an early percussion (one result being that the action was limited to two bents) and (ii) its quality & condition. See Notes 20/3/14. Barrel forger is JM (John Murphy Dublin, 1814-30). Its source was reputed to be a lost collection from a house in Holland Park, London. (See also Rigby # 10271)

A 54-Bore Colonial Retailed Tranter 4th Model Percussion Revolver. 5 shot cylinder, 153mm (6") oct barrel with top strap inscribed ‘GEORGE WHITFIELD CANNON HOUSE KING ST SYDNEY’, std sights, foliate engraved frame marked W. TRANTERPATENTS, g. profiles, clear address & engraving; blue/grey finish to all metal, chequered walnut grips, replaced std rammer, serial ‘No 15207 T’ on rhs of frame. Overall length 15”. action A/F Leslie Martin notes: Re. Age: The 5 shot percussion (= muzzle-loading, which would have required caps, powder & ball to load) revolving pistol to which this relates is a British made 4th model Tranter which commenced production c. 1857 but was replaced from the mid 1860's with the introduction of cartridge revolvers. (See 'William Tranter, Gunmaker, Birmingham'). Manufacturer: Tranter, Birmingham. Retailer: George Whitfield, Cannon House, King Street, Sydney (as engraved on the top strap). This gun stands out because of who retailed it. George Whitfield was a native of Belfast, Ireland, and was trained in the family gun business, Henry Whitfield, 42 Ann Street, Belfast. George Whitfield arrived in Australia 4th February 1834, and developed a large gun retailing business in Sydney, New South Wales. He moved his business to Cannon House, 69 King Street about 1858. He was shot dead at the door of his gun shop on 4th November 1864 by a dismissed employee, also of Irish extraction, Patrick McGlinn/McGlynn. Date of manufacture (& sale) can thus be safely placed no later than mid 1860's. The Powerhouse Museum, Sydney has another Tranter percussion revolver retailed by George Whitfield, same address as above. (Exhibit reference H 9691). W.L. Martin 6/5/15

Lamorna Birch.On that day, Laura and Harold both painted Birch's daughter 'Mornie'. Laura opted for the large canvas of this work, Harold's was much more diminutive. Birch's painting from this day takes in a broader scene, positioning himself someway off, he captured both Laura & Harold Knight painting Mornie, also his wife 'Mouse' behind Mornie and the woods around them. The oil that SJ Lamorna Birch painted on this day has recently been acquired by Penlee House for their permanent collection. Harold Knight’s version of Mornie sold at Sotheby’s in 1999 for £35,000. Provenance: From the personal family collection of SJ Lamorna Birch.This oil was a gift from Laura Knight to the sitter Elizabeth "Mornie" Lamorna Birch.

Adolf Hitler - lange schwarze Hose Feine schwarze Gabardine, vorne zwei eingeschnittene Taschen, die linke ohne Taschensack, die rechte mit einem großen, hellbraunen, ledernen Taschensack, rückseitig zwei Gesäßtaschen mit Klappen, von denen die rechte ebenfalls im gleichen Leder ausgeführt ist, Bundweitenversteller, die dunklen Knöpfe am Bund bis auf einen bezeichnet "Herm. Scherrer München", der Bundhaken mit Hersteller "Kronen Haken", im Tuch Monogramm des Stoffherstellers "G R G", der Bund mit hellem cremefarbenen, seidenartigem Tuch gefüttert. Bundweite in der vorgefundenen Bundweiteneinstellung 96 cm, Gesamtlänge 115 cm, Länge der Hosenbeine bis zum Schritt 80 cm. In der rechten ledernen Hosentasche soll Hitler seine Walther PPK getragen haben, die linke, jetzt fehlende, sollte durch Hitlers Kammerdiener Heinz Linge vergrößert werden, was aber infolge der Wirren des Kriegsendes unterblieb. Hermann Scherrer war ein in München seit 1886 alteingesessenes Modehaus, das sehr beliebt bei der wohlhabenderen Münchner Bevölkerung war und sich 1907 ein aufwendiges Werbeplakat vom bekannten Künstler Ludwig Hohlwein gestalten ließ: "Hermann Scherrer Breechesmaker - Sporting-Tailor - Neuhauser Str. 32". Dazu Herkunftsbestätigung Heinz Linge 1971 masch.geschr. und händisch signiert. Die ursprünglich vorhandenen Bestätigungsschreiben sind nicht mehr vorhanden: handschriftlich, dito 1972 mit zusätzlicher Bestätigung durch Martha Bornholdt, dem ehemaligen Zimmermädchen Hitlers, dito in Englisch 1972, Bestätigung William R. McClure an Ben E. Swearingen 1982, vier Polaroid-Fotos der Hose mit Unterschriften von Heinz Linge oder Martha Bornholdt, großes Hoffmann-Foto von Hitler und Linge mit rs. Bestätigung Linges in Englisch "...and I confirm that the black pair of trousers which are in your possession are those which the Fuehrer has been wearing. Heinz Linge.", schließlich ein Farbfoto der Hose mit Stempel "William McClure, Pontiac, Michigan, USA" und handschriftlicher Bemerkung "Adolf Hitler trousers purchased from Heinz Linge. Certif. by Linge." Abgebildet und beschrieben in John K. Lattimer, Hitler and the Nazi Leaders - A Unique Insight into Evil, S. 47, Fig. 29, 30. Sehr interessantes geschichtliches Objekt. Hitler trug insbesondere in den Kriegsjahren nahezu ausschließlich diesen Hosentyp zum feldgrauen Uniformrock. Interessant die lederne rechte Hosentasche für Hitlers PPK 7,65 mm, in der Gesäßtasche trug er angeblich die kleinere PPK 6,35 mm. Hitler soll ein trainierter und in jeder Position sicherer Pistolenschütze gewesen sein, sein Begleitkommando nannte ihn einen "Zwölfer-Schützen", auf dessen kaltblütige Reaktion im Attentatsfall jederzeit Verlass sei.

Adolf Hitler - a pair of long black trousers Adolf Hitler - a pair of long black trousersFine black gabardine, in front two cut-in pockets, the left without pocket sack, the right with a large, light brown leather pocket sack, two back pockets with flaps, of which the rightmost is likewise furbished in leather, waist size adjuster, with one exception the dark waist buttons marked "Herm. Scherrer München", the waist clasp with maker "Kronen Haken", the cloth with maker "G R G", the waist lined with light cream-coloured silklike cloth, waist width adjustment 96 cm, length 115 cm, length of trousers legs to instep 80 cm. In the right leather pocket Hitler was said to carry his Walther PPK, the left, now absent, was supposed to be enlarged by Hitler's valet Heinz Linge, but this did not happen due to the turmoil at the end of the war. Hermann Scherrer was a long-established Munich fashion house from 1886, very popular with the wealthier citizens, and in 1907 had a lavish advertising poster made by the famous artist Ludwig Hohlwein: "Hermann Scherrer Breechesmaker - Sporting-Tailor - Neuhauser Str. 32". Included is a typed and handwritten certificate of origin from Heinz Linge in 1971. The following original confirmation are no longer available: a corresponding 1972 statement from Martha Bornholdt, Hitler's former chambermaid, also in English from 1972, and a 1982 statement from William R. McClure to Ben E. Swearingen as well as four Polaroid photos of the trousers with signatures of Heinz Linge or Martha Bornholdt, a large Hoffmann photo of Hitler and Linge with a reverse statement of Linge in English "...and I confirm that the black pair of trousers which are in your possession are those which the Fuehrer has been wearing. Heinz Linge.", lastly a colour photo of the pair of trousers with stamping "William McClure, Pontiac, Michigan, USA" and a handwritten note "Adolf Hitler trousers purchased from Heinz Linge. Certif. by Linge." Pictured and described in John K. Lattimer, Hitler and the Nazi Leaders - A Unique Insight into Evil, p. 47, Fig. 29, 30. A very interesting historical object. Especially in wartime, Hitler wore this type of trousers almost exclusively with the field grey uniform coat. Also of interest is the right leather pocket sack for Hitler's PPK 7.65 mm, and reportedly he carried the smaller PPK 6.35 mm in the back pocket. Hitler was a trained and sure marksman in any stance. His personal guard nicknamed him "Zwölfer-Schütze", whose coldblooded reaction could be relied on in case of an assassination attempt (Henry Picker, Hitler's Table Talk in the Führer Headquarter, 23 March 1942).Provenance: Dr. W.A.

A Victorian style two storey wooden doll house with brick facade partially furnished interiorLocation:

A Heal's oak four-poster bed, panelled head board with turned columns, adorned with Morris & Co Bird woven jacquard bed spread, curtains and canopy, designed by William Morris, unsigned, 219cm high, 137cm wide (headboard) LiteratureCharlotte Gere & Michael Whiteway Nineteenth Century Design, Thames & Hudson, page 210 plate 261 for a comparable example of the 'Bird' textile. ProvenanceSir Ambrose Heal, thence by descent Catalogue notesThe four-poster bed that is being offered for sale is a fairly simple piece of early 20th century furniture and yet this particular bed is laden with symbolism. This was the bed in which Sir Ambrose Heal (1872-1959) slept for much of his life. It brings together comfort, design history and social history.The Heal’s business in London’s Tottenham Court Road had been founded in 1810 to manufacture beds and mattresses. Bedding was at the heart of the business throughout the 19th century and most of the 20th century, even as the firm expanded into dealing in other items of furniture and furnishing. The small bedding factory remained on the same site in Tottenham Court Road until the 1980s and the skilled upholsterers and makers continued to use the same traditional techniques and the finest natural materials that their ancestors had used. One of Heal’s major contributions to sleep comfort was the design of the “Sommier Elastique Portatif” which was patented in 1860 by John Harris Heal. It was still in production over 100 years later. It folds in order to make cleaning, removals and storage easy and has no top stuffing so it was “quite free from all risk of moth”. The Victorian catalogue described it as “the most comfortable Spring Mattress yet invented” and it “requires just one good mattress over it”. The Four-Poster is fitted with one of these bed-bases containing nine rows of star-lashed, nine inch, nine turn, hourglass springs made from eight-and-a-half gauge wire mounted on insulating pads.As well as being a furniture designer, Sir Ambrose was fascinated by the history of London trades. Before the buildings in streets were numbered many displayed hanging signs to enable businesses to be found. Heal recorded hundreds of these 18th century signs which were eventually published under the title “London Shop Signs” in 1939. For example there were no less than sixteen that incorporated an anchor, ranging from the Anchor & Bible in St Paul’s Churchyard to the Anchor & Wheatsheaf, Whitehouse Court near Tooley Street. In 1904 when looking for a symbol that would act as a logo and trademark for the Heal firm he came up with the idea of using the Four-Poster bed. Since then Heal & Son Ltd has traded “At The Sign of The Four-Poster”. Appropriately this bed is thought to date from that time. Not only did he trade under the four-poster sign but henceforth he slept in one.Sir Ambrose was inspired by the work and writings of William Morris so it was fitting that he acquired some of Morris’s original “Bird” pattern wool cloth to make up a bed-spread and curtains for the Four-Poster. There was no better way of signalling his connection to the Arts & Crafts Movement that influenced his own design philosophy. Morris designed this pattern (with a huge repeat) in 1877-8 and it was hand-loom jacquard-woven. It was available through Morris & Co but interestingly Morris himself used this particular pattern to decorate the walls of the drawing room of his own home at Kelmscott House, Hammersmith. An inventory of Ambrose Heal’s home taken in 1914 records “An oak frame four post bedstead with panelled back and floral linen curtains and valances lined green twill 4’ 6” wide”. It was then valued at £20.Oliver S Heal.

The first four children were born illegitimately, before the Earl married Miss Ilive in 1801, so Charles (and his brothers Henry and George) were illegitimate. He married Elizabeth Anne Hepburne-Scott, daughter of Hugh Hepburne-Scott, 6th Lord Polwarth and Harriet Brühl, on 3 October 1835. Wyndham joined the Army by purchasing his commission in the 10th (Prince of Wales’s Own) Regiment of (Light) Dragoons (Hussars) on the 13th May 1813. The 10th Hussars were despatched to Spain and fought at the Battle of Morales in June 1813, taking around 260 prisoners. Later in the month, the regiment also fought at the Battle of Vitoria and then, having advanced into France, fought at the Battle of Orthez in February 1814 and the Battle of Toulouse in April 1814. Following his service in the Peninsular War he was promoted to Lieutenant on the 4th May 1815 and served in the Battle of Waterloo as part of the 2nd (Royal North British) Regiment of Dragoons (Scots Greys) No 2 Troop, commanded by Captain Edward Payne. During this conflict he was injured, being shot twice, once in the foot, but refused to be returned on the list of wounded.Apparently nicknamed “the handsomest man in the Army” by King George IV, Wyndham was awarded the Army Gold Medal/Military General Service Medal, 1793-1814 with three clasps for Vittoria, Orthez, and Toulouse and the Waterloo Medal 1815.
