Lot 1172
An antiquarian book "Natural Magic" by Sir David Brewster, and "Jones Mathematics" 1706. CONDITION REPORT: There are 79 illustrations in the book, the last being on page 336. Figures 25 and 27 each have a separate folding piece of paper which are still intact although the paper in figure 27 is attached by one section of the binding. There is an ink inscription at the rear of the book which reads “Lady Brewster has received from the Queen a pension of the Civil list of £200 a year. This is the first pension created by Mr Disraeli as Prime Minister and we are glad to hail it as a promise of the return to the good principle on which Sir Robert Peel used to dispense these bounties of the state - that of a National reward for service - not an alms to the poor and unfortunate”. (Southampton Times March 211, 1868) The book as a whole appears to be in good order, the pages a little dusty but a uniform colour. Each corner of the leather binding on both sides is scuffed and marked, though the pressed cloth boards appear good. The binding and the spine also appear good.
Lot 1201
A 19th century French brass and copper grape hod, relief moulded with figures, foliage and scrollwork. Height 89 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: Generally in good order throughout. There is solder visible as the copper joins the zinc base. The embossed decoration to the copper top is in good order although slightly smoothed in areas due to polishing. Three brass bands all have small knocks and dents but are not detrimental to the overall effect. Height 88.5 cm, width at the top 40.5 cm.
Lot 1331
A Continental walnut ladies cylinder bureau, mid 20th century, with brass gallery above three painted drawers and cylinder front painted with figures and signed and opening to a tooled leather writing surface and fitted interior and with drawer beneath and all raised on turned and tapered legs. Width 78 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The bureau is in first class condition. The gallery is in good order and the top is of good colour and is flat. All drawer fronts are in good condition as are the sides. The cylinder operates as it should. There is slight bubbling to the veneer at the top left hand corner of the cylinder but this is not a significant issue. The paintwork has some minor blemishes but no real problems. The interior is in good order. The leather is unlikely to be original but is in first class condition. The legs are structurally sound with no issues. The backboards are original. There is no evidence of any woodworm.
Lot 136
A Chinese bronze incense burner and cover, probably early 19th century, after a Ming original, the pierced cover surmounted by a Buddhist lion, the main body with dragon handles and cast archaic dragon and Ruyi decoration against a key ground, all on three horned mask legs, two character Xuande mark, height 23.5 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The lid has traces of verdigris throughout. There is a small casting fault to the rear of its left ear or a small hole has appeared. There is a small section replaced in the pierced scrolls, it now looks like a small cross but I think this is a very old repair. Just below the right hand side of this repair there is a small casting fault hole. The dragons adorning the body are poorly cast. I would be prudent to say that the majority of the body is poorly cast and the figures and masks are not particularly well defined. There are two small pinhead size holes to the swollen body approx 11 cm apart from each other. The interior of the censor is covered with what appears to be verdigris. The hollow legs retain their casting sound. The poor casting and lack of clarity to the pattern is probably visible on the website images. Other than those faults mentioned it all appears to be intact.
Lot 137
Two Tibetan bronze figures of the reclining Buddha, 19th/20th century, dressed in robes, their headbands inlaid with coloured glass and resting upon his right arm, height 20 cm and 22 cm. Of the four main types of images found in Buddhist temples, the reclining Buddha symbolises the sage in an attitude of entering Nirvana depicting the moment he leaves his earthly body.

(6) CONDITION REPORT: One pillar has small chips to the upper left hand side at the top and a small chip to the front right hand corner. The gilding on all is almost completely gone leaving a red lacquered ground. One pillar has minor abrasions to the rear but nothing too detrimental and also the tips of the finials on the right hand side are missing. A further pillar has a small section missing to the top right hand corner. The tips of the upper left hand finial is missing. A further pillar has chips along the upper right hand side and left hand corner, the lower left hand finial is missing.

(7) CONDITION REPORT: The gilt hood mounts are generally in good order with only minor damage such as small chips to corners missing. You may see from the images that on the left hand side figure the bottom left edge of the scroll is slightly chipped. The gilding is rubbed on both to reveal a red lacquer ground. The left hand figure also has a small hole just between the forehead and the headdress. The tip of his right hand robe has a small splice missing. The right hand mount has a small chip to the left of its headdress. Again the gilding is rubbed in various places to reveal a red lacquer ground. The bottom right hand corner has a small piece missing, again these should be visible from the web images. Each has small knocks and scratches to its reverse. They are both pretty much intact. The left hand side Shi-Shi lion has the tip of its tail missing, the tip of its left ear missing and the occasional woodworm hole which appears to be inactive. There is also a split to its rear right leg which continues down to the base. The right hand Shi-Shi lion has the extreme tip of its left ear missing. Both have gilded bodies which have been rubbed in various places to reveal a red lacquer ground. The rear of the right hand lion shows a 5 cm split. The carved wood deity has 50% of his left foot missing but is otherwise intact and a nice looking figure. The carved wood figure of Guan Yin appears to be in good order throughout. The single Shi-Shi lion has a small splice to the rear tip of its tail. The gilding is rubbed in small areas to reveal a red lacquered ground. Other than that there are no major faults to report.
Lot 153
An Indian carved wood plaque of the Mother Goddess Durga, early 20th century, carved in relief, with eight arms each holding a weapon, standing above two further figures, flanked by scrolling foliage, height 45 cm, width 25 cm.

Arms and digits all appear to be in good order again with no visible losses or restorations.
Lot 156

The remaining figures of the pagoda appear to be in good order. To the rear of the item the bottom quarter is slightly rubbed and scuffed but nothing detrimental.
Lot 161

Lot 1736
A large patinated metal garden fountain, with two classical female figures holding aloft a relief moulded bowl with centre vase. Height +/- 235 cm, diameter of bowl +/- 100 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: This fountain is in generally extremely good condition. We are not sure what metal this is made from however it is extremely heavy. It is not cast iron and presumably some form of metal that can be cast. It is not rusty at all even though it is 30 or 40 years old. The base is in good order. Both figures are intact with no broken or cracked sections. The arms and fingers are all present and in good condition. The upper bowl also seems to be in extremely good condition with no damage or any issues.
Lot 202
A Chinese carved gilt wood mirror, early 20th century, the frieze with carved and pierced decoration centring on the emperor and empress beneath a pagoda, and flanked by numerous figures and buildings, with dragons to each corner, the remainder of the frame on a red lacquer ground decorated with dragons and interwoven cash, height 114 cm, width 185 cm. CONDITION REPORT: Overall this is an impressive piece with no obvious immediate visible faults. The glass certainly requires a clean but the silvering does not appear to be pitted or tarnished in any way. The gilding has been rubbed back to reveal traces of red lacquer ground but this may purely be a decorative effect. The top left hand corner border has two very small drill holes but given the fixed backing I cannot see if these go right through or not. Other than requiring a good dust and a clean it appears to be in good condition throughout with no obvious flaws, cracks, chips or signs of restoration.
