![Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 3 clasps, Relief of Kimberley, Paardeberg, Driefontein (73100 Dr. T. [sic] Tagg, Q.B., R.H.A.](https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/8ef2aaa3-0da8-4a8f-812f-b0d900c4aa09/e3dadfff-867d-4d7c-a77b-b1d900a63dfc/468x382.jpg)

Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 3 clasps, Relief of Kimberley, Paardeberg, Driefontein (73100 Dr. T. [sic] Tagg, Q.B., R.H.A.) edge bruise, very fine £240-£280 --- James Tagg was born in Oxton, Nottinghamshire, in October 1871, and attested for the Royal Artillery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne on 4 May 1889. Posted to the 1st Brigade, Royal Field Artillery as a Driver, he transferred to “Q” Battery, Royal Horse Artillery, on 17 July 1894. He transferred to the Reserve on 20 May 1896, before being recalled to active service on 27 November 1899, and served as a Driver with ‘Q’ Battery in South Africa during the Boer War from 19 December 1899, being present at the action at Sanna’s Post on 31 March 1900. Resulting from De Wet’s ambush of General Broadwood’s Brigade at Korn Spruit (Sanna’s Post), “Q” Battery, Royal Horse Artillery, behaved with great gallantry and managed to save four of its guns from an apparently hopeless situation. The conduct of the battery was praised by Brigadier-General Broadwood in his report on the action. As a result of this report, Lord Roberts took the unusual step of ordering the battery to ballot for the Victoria Cross, to choose one officer, one non-commissioned officer, one gunner and one driver to receive the coveted award, there being no fairer way to choose four from so many who performed with such heroism that day. As a result, Major Edmund John Phipps-Hornby, Sergeant Charles Edward Haydon Parker, Gunner Isaac Lodge, and Driver Horace Henry Glassock were each awarded the Victoria Cross. Driver James Tagg’s name would have been in the ballot for the Victoria Cross to the ‘Driver’. Tagg returned to England on 19 August 1900, and was subsequently discharged. Sold with copied research.

A GEORGE III CARVED MAHOGANY AND NEEDLEWORK UPHOLSTERED ARMCHAIR CIRCA 1765 The back with embroidery in wool and silk on canvas, the central panel in petit point, the surrounding in gross point 100cm high, 68cm wide, 61cm deep overall Provenance: Private Collection, Wiltshire For an illustration of this chair or a remarkably similar example (including distinctive elements of carving), see Herbert Cescinksy, English Furniture of the Eighteenth Century, volume II, page 356, figure 385.A very similar set of 24 Gainsborough chairs were supplied to the Duke of Leeds, almost certainly by the Soho maker Paul Saunders (or Samuel Norman who inherited his clientele as part of a deal signed between the two men) c.1765. The chairs were eventually moved to Hornby Castle where they were photographed on multiple occasions. Pieces from the suite have appeared on the art market and one is illustrated when it was offered for sale as part of a pair by Norman Adams Ltd at the Grosvenor House Fair in 1973.Although the suite is parcel gilt and the pattern is not identical, the same fine, light proportions are evident and the serpentine front rail and finely-drawn back legs are also closely comparable. Paul Saunders was a major London cabinet maker and tapestry supplier, working in partnership with other famous makers such as William Bradshaw. He was appointed "Tapestry maker to his Majesty" in1757 and tapestries were supplied to the finest houses such as Petworth, Holkham and Alnwick Castle. Due to the firm's special interest in textiles, it is not surprising that many surviving records relating to their commissions relate to tapestries or upholstered seat furniture with Uppark being another house that was supplied with such items by the Saunders concern. It is also particularly appropriate that the current chair should have 18th century needlework upholstery of contemporary date to the chair. When Samuel Norman agreed to buy Saunders' stock in trade and goodwill in 1760, a list of the firm's previous clients appears to have been drawn up and it includes names such as the Duke of Cumberland, the Duke of Norfolk, the Duke of Northumberland, the Earl of Scarborough and Sir Orlando Bridgeman. Such a list is testament to Saunders' ability as a cabinetmaker and upholsterer of considerable skill and business acumen, and this chair is a fine example of the sort of pieces that he was able to produce.For a pair of armchairs of related period, form and incorporating needlework upholstery, see Sotheby's, New York, 16th October 2009, Important English Furniture, Lot 135 ($135,500). Please note, in addition to the notes in the printed catalogue this armchair has an additional detailed footnote regarding attribution and closely comparable chairs on our website.
