THE RULES OF THE GAMEFrench Moyenne (22.5" x 30.5"); Country-of-OriginVery Fine+ on Linen; Artwork by Georges Dastor DPF, 1939This rare and attractive poster, once folded, has been expertly mounted on linen. The colors remain vibrant, and it shows minimal to no signs of wear.Regarded as one of the finest films ever created, Jean Renoir's "The Rules of the Game" delivers a piercing critique of a corrupt French society, disguised as a comedy of manners where a weekend at a marquis's country estate reveals some harsh truths about a group of haut-bourgeois friends. The film's history is as dramatic as its content: after a hostile reception at its 1939 debut, it underwent cuts, and its original negative was lost in World War II. It was not until 1959 that the film was reconstructed. This version has captivated audiences for generations and is the one presented here.This lot will be auctioned on Friday, September 13th.

A FINE BLACK FOREST CARVED LIMEWOOD SPRING-DRIVEN CUCKOO WALL CLOCKALEXANDER FLEIG, TRIBERG, LATE 19th CENTURYThe twin going barrel four pillar movement with skeletonised plates and anchor escapement regulated by a carved wood shaped-bob pendulum, the backplate with second overlaid pierced plate to take the rear pivots plus set-up ratchets for the spring barrels over stamped signature A. FLEIG to lower margin, with external countwheel for announcing the two-note call for every hour via a pair of crank-driven bellows fitted above the plates, whilst repeatedly revealing a polychrome automaton figure of a cuckoo from behind a pair of hinged doors positioned above the dial who opens his beak and flaps his wings as well as sounding on a coiled gong, the case of gabled form applied with finely executed oak-leaf carved crest centred with a stag's head with inlaid glass eyes hung with two crossed-over percussion lock hunting guns, over aperture for the cuckoo set amongst further oak leaves and circular bugle-type hunting horn centred with the rosette decorated concentric turned wooden dial, applied with ivorine Gothic Roman numerals and with scroll-pierced bone hands, flanked by impressive carved hung rabbit and pheasant game over further tied leafy branches incorporating a hunting pouch applied with a further small game bird to apron, the sides with small opening hatches and the rear with lift-out panel applied with a gong to the interior; together with a copy of Miller, Justin J. Rare and Unusual Black Forest Clocks Schiffer Limited, Atglen PA 2012, dj, (2).137cm (54ins) high, 77cm (30.5ins) wide, 48cm (19ins) deep. Provenance:From the private collection of a professional sportsman and commentator. Despite the high quality nature of his work, very little is known about Alexander Fleig of Triberg. Trade directories indicate that his workshop was established in 1869 and was still active in 1906. He exhibited at the Commercial Exhibition in Villingen in 1876, and it is generally believed that he probably collaborated with other makers. Condition Report: The movement is in clean working condition, both springs seem strong and will wind fully. The cuckoo automaton is complete with wire operating detents/levers all present however the action appears a little limited suggesting some adjustment is required in order to maximise the action. The bellows have been re-conditioned hence provide good strong notes to the call. The dial is in fine condition as is the case with the only notable observation being some very well executed restoration to the stag antlers. The rear has some scuffing around the original hanging hole (removable back panel has been re-polished) the present hanging eye is probably a later addition. The carving is generally in very fine condition with faults very much limited to a few very slight historic bumps to the extremities; there is no visible worm damage or noticeable splitting.Generally a fine example apparently having been relatively recently serviced/cosmetically restored and only really requiring slight adjustment to the automaton. A pendulum with conforming carved wood bob and a winding key are present with the clock.  Condition Report Disclaimer

Waterloo 1815 (John Edwards, Gunner, Royal Horse Artillery) fitted with original steel clip and later silver straight bar suspension, edge bruising, nearly very fine £1,200-£1,600 --- Provenance: Sold with a hand-written note that reads: ‘Jordan 1900. It is with all sincerity that I offer my father’s Waterloo Medal which I hope will be accepted by Mrs. Naylor of Leighton Hall for her past and present kindness to me. [Signed] John Edwards.’ Two men with the name John Edwards served as Gunners in the Royal Horse Artillery during the Waterloo Campaign. This medal is believed to be that awarded to the Gunner John Edwards who served in Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Hew Ross’s “A” (‘Chestnut’) Troop at Waterloo, on the basis that he came from Newtown, Montgomeryshire, barely five miles from the Leighton Hall referred to the letter of provenance referred to above. A letter from this man addressed to his brother, dated Saint Deinanens [sic - St. Dennis], France, on 14 July 1815, was published in The Waterloo Archive, edited by Lieutenant-Colonel M. E. S. Laws: ‘Brother, I reseved your Kind Letter and I am Happy to Hear from you and with Plesur. I take up my pen to informe you That I am in Good Helth at present and I hope you and your wife and family are the same. After wee marched from Birmingham to Warley wee remained theire but a short time, the rout came for us. We marched to Woolwich and were fitted out for pursuing searvice and messing. Happy I was we were reddy in 14 Dayes then wee embarked at Ramsgate and after a plesunt passage of 24 oures at sea were landed at hostend in Flanderes. Flanderes is a very fine cunterey and very fine Groves and Riveres and one of the finest Knells in the woorld, wee marched through Brussels and Gent and other fine townes. It was at Brussels where Louis the 18th was. I seed him there 2 or 3 times. Wee Remained ther 12 Dayes. The Rout came at 11 o'Clock on that Evning of the 15 June. wee marched all that night and it rained verrey hard all that night the action of the 16th begun before we could get up. wee were soon a nuff to see the King's Life Guards and 7th and 1st Germany and Scotch Greys charge the french and they lost about 400 smothered in a Bogg. The 16th and 17th it rained verrey hard and we were at camp with our Horses in our hands and nothen in our aversacks. At 8 o'clock on the 18th Jun the general action begun on our right flank. Our troop was posted in the senter right and left of the main road. 3 guns one side and 8 on the other. Wee been at the tread they put us whare they thought there would be more danger. At about 9 o'clock the french brought 28 gunnes opposite our gunnes and then the game began, harmies and troops (illegible). Every man that never seed a bullet would a thought that the world was at a end. about half-past 10 o'clock the French Emperial Guardes dressed in steel armour back and brest plates, they way about 32 pounds, charged up the maine road till they came within 600 yardes they extended rite and left of the road. Wee fired case shot at them and swep them of like a swathe of grass before a syth. The ground was cuvered with men and horses in 5 minutes. Wee limbered up but before wee could move one yard the french was all round us. Me and four more of our Gunners left the gun and formed up with the 1st German Horse and charged the french cavallery, wee swept through the four times. With a good horse and a sharpe sord I caused 5 of them to fall to the ground. My horse reseved 4 cuts as I could not guard my horse and my self at one time. I have the onner of waren a blue and red ribbon as a marke of that day. Wee soon got either gun in action againe, only 4 men to man her and up to our knees in mud. Colonel Ross lost 5 horses shot under him. My gun was struck several times with the french shots. The prussians came up at 6 o'clock and then the charge was sounded from Right to Left. The french left behind them 2 hundred and ten guns and 7 hundred waggons, and the ground covered with men and horses four or five miles. Louies the 18 marched over the ground that day after and I seed him pass through the town to Parris on the 7th of this month. John Edwards P.S.

Six: Captain H. W. Ashby, Queen Elizabeth’s Own Gurkha Rifles 1939-45 Star; Africa Star; Burma Star; War Medal 1939-45; India Service Medal; General Service 1918-62, 2 clasps, S.E. Asia 1945-46, Malaya (Capt. H. W. Ashby. 5. G.R.) light contact marks throughout, generally very fine and better (6) £140-£180 --- Provenance: Sotheby’s, July 1995. Harold William ‘Gus’ Ashby was born in Watford, Hertfordshire, on 18 May 1921 and was appointed to a commission in the 5th Battalion, Gurkha Rifles, in December 1943. Raised Lieutenant the following year, his service and life is detailed by the Journal of the 6th Queen Elizabeth’s Own Gurkha Rifles Regimental Association (1991): ‘Gus joined 3/5 RGR at Nasik from “The 56th” in 1945 and as intelligence officer he was fully involved, and acquitted himself well, in many a skirmish. His leadership and man management were excellent and he had a good rapport with his men. An extrovert with a great sense of fun, he was quick to learn the language. Very tall and slim, he was an outstanding soccer player - the Battalion’s most formidable centre forward. It was not long before he met Ann, a charming girl who was soon to become his wife. They were married in Holland on his first leave. Demobilisation followed but Gus found it difficult to settle down to civilian life in the UK. He eventually rejoined the Army and returned to the Gurkha fold in 1953 for a three-year tour with 1/6 GR. He and his young family took full advantage of life in Ipoh. The Ashby’s were well liked by everyone. Ann died in 1975 and Gus was shattered. Emerging from his depression in due course, he turned his attention once again to the well-being of the Gurkha pensioner. He was quick to respond to the clarion call from the Gurkha Welfare Trusts.’ Further research notes that Ashby served in Malaya and Java between 1945 and 1947 and was serving as Company Commander when sent with his platoon to guard His Highness the Sultan of Negeri Sembilan; in Indonesia he was tasked with investigating a quinine factory being used for nefarious purposes - one Gurkha was killed and four wounded in attempting to take control of the building. Relocating in retirement to Wareham in Dorset, Ashby devoted his later years to sport and was fondly remembered by the regulars of the Half Way Inn, near Corfe Castle. The local cricket team bore his name and enjoyed many a game vying for a silver trophy in his memory; much admired for his care and concern for the Gurkha, Ashby died peacefully on 14 January 1990, his wake coinciding with the day of the great storm: ‘The battering of the gale on the church roof sounded like an artillery barrage from within. It was a sad but dramatic farewell.’ Sold with extensive copied research.
