A Q- Ship Casualty Group awarded to Stoker 1st Class David Arthur Collingham. H.M.S. Bergamot, Killed in Action when Bergamot was sunk by U-84 on the 13th of August 1917 comprising 1914-1920 British War and Victory Medals, (K.28401 D.A. Collingham. Sto. 1. R.N.), toned fine (2)HMS Bergamot was an Anchusa-class sloop of the Royal Navy, which had a short career during World War I. Built by Armstrong Whitworth, the ship was laid down on 1 January 1917, launched on 5 May, and commissioned on 14 July.Four weeks later, on 13 August 1917, under the command of Lieut-Commander Percy T. Perkins, she was sunk in the Atlantic 70 nautical miles north-west of the harbour of Killybegs by the German submarine U-84, commanded by Walter Rohr.U-84s War Diary describes how he sighted a lone merchant ship, with no defensive armament (an unusual sight by 1917). Bergamot evidently sighted the U-boat's periscope, as she began to zig-zag at high speed. U-84 fired one torpedo – which hit on the port side – and Bergamot broke in half and sank in four minutes. Surfacing, U-84 sighted an unusually large number of crew (70) and pieces of wood floating. The U-boat's log identifies the possibility of Bergamot being a "trap ship". One of the indicators being the narrow beam in relation to the length of the ship, a sure sign of a warship.The torpedo struck her on the port side at 13 minutes to 9, entering the auxiliary engine room and destroying the dynamo and the bulkhead separating the auxiliary engine room from the main engine room. All the lights went out. Bergamot launched a "panic party" in lifeboat no.1, containing 31 men, but the ship lurched to port, both the bow and stern rising out of the water, and she sank too quickly for the ruse to be successful.U-84 approached Lifeboat no. 2 and asked where the captain was. They were told, "In the other boat, Sir" although actually he was on a small raft being towed by no.2 at the time. U-84 had both her deck guns trained on the lifeboat, but they believed the story and headed for lifeboat no. 1, now about two miles away. There, they went close alongside and hauled the ship's steward aboard, probably because he was the only one with a collar and tie on, and looked like an officer. Luckily, he stuck to the cover story, although questioned severely by Rohr as to "where bound, what cargo?" and was told to go back to his lifeboat, after having been given a glass of port wine and a cigarette, and after also transferring a wounded man that the submarine had picked up to the boat. With a cheery, "See you after the war!" the submarine disappeared into the night mists.At the moment of the explosion, Bergamot's first officer, Lieutenant Frederick W. Siddall, and her probationer surgeon, Robert S. Smith were both in her wardroom. The explosion jammed both of the watertight doors leading into this compartment, and Siddall was rendered unconscious. Smith piled the wrecked wardroom furniture up in order to reach the skylight in the roof, and then dragged the unconscious Siddall up and out of the compartment. Having reached the main deck, Smith worked on both Siddall and a wounded petty officer, who was lying on the deck with a broken leg and arm. By this time the ship was clearly sinking so Smith inflated his casualties life vests and lowered them both into the water.As Bergamot sank one of her depth charges exploded, badly wounding Siddall and again rendering him unconscious. Smith towed both his casualties to lifeboat no.2, which had left the sinking ship, containing 47 survivors, and then worked on Siddall for 25 minutes, administering artificial respiration, until he again recovered consciousness. Smith then treated the other injured survivors in no.2 over the 48 hours that the lifeboats were adrift until they were picked up. For these lifesaving actions, Surgeon Robert Sydney Steele Cathcart Smith was awarded the Albert Medal.The lifeboats became separated through the first night. Lifeboat no.2 set course for Loch Swilly, about 100 miles away, They sailed and rowed for three days before being picked up by the Admiralty trawler Lord Lister. Lifeboat no.1 reached the rocky shores of County Donegal where they were taken ashore by the coastguard.David Arthur Collingham was born on the 19th of March 1884 in Lincolnshire he joined the Royal Navy on the 21st of October 1915 stating that he was an Iron Founder. He joined Bergamot on the 14th of July 1917 and was Killed in Action on the 13th of August the same year. He was the son of Hannah Collingham of 32 Old Bargate, St Botolph’s, Lincoln, he is commemorated on the Plymouth Naval Memorial on Panel 22.Sold with an excellent file of 9 original pieces of Paperwork including the Original Royal Navy Telegram to Hannah Collingham stating:-“I regret to have to inform you that information had been received by this Department to the effect H.M.S.

A heavy Victorian silver copy of the Warwick vase, John Newton Mappin, (Mappin & Webb), London, 1896 With silver plated liner, on an ebonised rectangular plinth base inset with commemorative silver plaques, London 1897, 37cm wide, 29cm deep, 26cm high, overall height including base 44cm high, (the vase 5067g) Provenance: Property from an historic family collection, Henley-on-Thames The Warwick Vase is a renowned ancient Roman marble vase that has captivated the attention of art collectors, historians, and connoisseurs since its discovery in the late 18th century. Discovered in 1771 at the bottom of a lake at Hadrian's Villa near Tivoli, Italy. The villa, built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, was a sprawling complex of palaces, gardens, and baths. The vase was found in fragments, buried under centuries of silt and debris. Sir William Hamilton, a British diplomat and antiquarian stationed in Naples, acquired the fragments and later sold them to his nephew, George Greville, the 2nd Earl of Warwick. Greville, an avid art collector, had the vase meticulously restored by the sculptor James Byres in Rome. The reconstruction brought the vase back to its original grandeur, with its intricate carvings of Bacchic scenes—depicting Bacchus (Dionysus), the god of wine, and his followers. The Warwick Vase gained considerable fame in the 18th and 19th centuries, becoming a symbol of classical antiquity and aristocratic taste. Its design was widely admired and replicated in various forms, including smaller vases, silverware, and even as motifs in furniture and ceramics. The vase’s influence extended beyond Europe, inspiring neoclassical designs in America as well. In the early 20th century, due to financial difficulties, the Greville family sold the Warwick Vase. It was purchased by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, but the British government intervened to keep the vase in the United Kingdom. Eventually, it was bought by the Scottish National Gallery, where it remains today. The Warwick Vase is now housed at the Burrell Collection in Glasgow.

With address leaf, postmarked and stamped. Very small minor creasing, otherwise VGThe sculpture detailed and valued by Barye in the present letter is a bronze with a height of 80cm, it is considered one of the summits of the artist's work.The critic Paul Manz described the present work this way `Apollon, conduisant son char, se présente de face; des deux côtés s´avancent les Heures, figures légères qui tiennent la bride des cheveaux. Les types sont empruntés à ce que l´antiquité nous a laissé de plus pur et de plus charmant; les cheveaux d´Apollon sont admirables dans leur allure savamment rythmée... Nous ne connaissons, parmi les productions de l´art industriel moderne, aucun oeuvre qui puisse lui être comparée, et Versailles, au temps de ses splendeurs, n´a rien eu de plus beau dans son mobilier royal´ (Translation: "Apollo, driving his chariot, is presented front face; on both sides advanced the Hours, light figures holding the bridle of the horses. The types are borrowed from what antiquity has left us of the purest and most charming; Apollo's horses are admirable in their skillfully rhythmic allure... We do not know, among the productions of modern industrial art, any work that can be compared to it, and Versailles, at the time of its splendors, had nothing more beautiful in its royal furniture")We learn with this letter that the original model was the property of "Madame Pérère", who was the wife of the banker Isaac Pérère, who placed the order with Barye for his hotel in the Faubourg Saint-Honoré.The work is at today´s date exhibited at the Musée d´Orsay in Paris.

Authored by Percy MacQuoid, a prominent British theatrical designer and avid collector of English furniture, these volumes serve as a comprehensive guide to the changing styles and materials that have defined English furniture from the 16th century through the early 20th century. Overview of the Volumes MacQuoid’s work documents the historical progression of furniture design, examining how cultural and artistic influences shaped the aesthetic and functional aspects of furniture in England over several centuries. Each volume delves into a specific era, defined by the predominant use of certain materials and styles: Illustrations and Contributions The visual aspect of these volumes is enriched by the illustrations of Shirley Slocombe, a renowned British artist and printer. Slocombe’s detailed and vivid illustrations complement MacQuoid’s text, providing readers with an understanding of the furniture pieces discussed. Significance of the Collection MacQuoid’s work is not just a chronological record; it also offers insightful commentary on the broader cultural and artistic trends of each period. By analyzing the themes and styles of the Renaissance, Gothic, Restoration, and Dutch influences, MacQuoid provides a holistic view of the evolution of English furniture.

Original vintage WWI propaganda poster encouraging contributions to the Sailors' & Soldiers' Tobacco Fund: It is a significant fact that almost every letter from the Front contains a request for 'something to smoke'. Stark black and white artwork by Frank Brangwyn shows a group of soldiers on the front with the tower of the cathedral of Ypres in the background. Ypres is a town in the Belgian province of West Flanders, an area where many battles unfolded during World War I. Printed by the Avenue Press Ltd. Sir Frank William Brangwyn RA RWS RBA (12 May 1867- 11 June 1956) was an Anglo-Welsh artist, painter, watercolourist, engraver, illustrator and progressive designer. Brangwyn was an artistic jack-of-all-trades. As well as paintings and drawings, he produced designs for stained glass, furniture, ceramics, table glassware, buildings and interiors, was a lithographer and woodcutter and was a book illustrator. It has been estimated that during his lifetime Brangwyn produced over 12,000 works. His mural commissions would cover over 22,000 sq ft (2,000 m2) of the canvas, he painted over 1,000 oils, over 660 mixed media works (watercolours, gouache), over 500 etchings, about 400 wood engravings and woodcuts, 280 lithographs, 40 architectural and interior designs, 230 designs for items of furniture and 20 stained glass panels and windows. Brangwyn received some artistic training, probably from his father, and later from Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo and in the workshops of William Morris, but he was largely an autodidact without a formal artistic education. When, at the age of seventeen, one of his paintings was accepted at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, he was strengthened in his conviction to become an artist. Initially, he painted traditional subjects about the sea and life on the seas. His 1890 canvas, Funeral At Sea won a medal of the third class at the 1891 Paris Salon. The murals for which Brangwyn was famous, and during his lifetime he was very famous indeed, were brightly coloured and crowded with details of plants and animals, although they became flatter and less flamboyant later in his life. Good condition, water marks, creases and repaired tears in margins, backed on cardboard. Year of printing: 1915, country of printing: UK, designer: Frank Brangwyn, dimensions (cm): 76x49.5.
