oil on canvas, signed, titled and dated Jan '07/Dec '08 verso unframed overall size 115cm x 128cm Note: Ally (Alasdair Neil Renwick) Thompson, was a Scottish painter of the New Glasgow Boys generation alongside Peter Howson, Ken Currie, Adrian Wisniewski and the late Steven Campbell. Born in Glasgow, he studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1975 to 1980, gaining a B.A. First Class Honours in Fine Art, and a diploma in postgraduate studies with high commendation and a travelling scholarship. In 1989, a solo exhibition of his work at the Barbizon Gallery (Glasgow) was visited by the international art promoter Norbert Binotti, who then brought Thompson to international prominence with a one-man show in New York and major exhibitions in Paris. Ally lived and worked periodically in Provence in the 1990s. He subsequently steadily consolidated his international reputation with exhibitions in Britain, Europe and North America, appearing in galleries such as Flowers East in London and Gallery Albert 1er in Paris. A close friend of Peter Howson, with whom he was a fellow student at the Glasgow School of Art, both men and their work were almost equally unknown when they shared one of their first exhibitions, a two-man show at the Art School itself in 1984. Ally Thompson was naturally shy in new company rather than a bold and forthright salesman of his own work. He painted in several distinctly different styles, from surrealist to abstract to expressionist landscape and much in between, making him hard to categorise and package for promoters and critics. Visiting his studio in the early 1980s Alec Mather, a successful Lanarkshire businessman, was one of the first of several almost surrogate father figures in Thompson's life. He offered to pay Ally twice what he was asking for one his paintings on condition that the young artist gave up his day job as a school teacher. Thompson never looked back creatively. Alec Mather remained a friend, patron and supporter for the rest of the artist's life. Outside of Scotland, through the friendship and support of Norbert Binotti and (after his untimely death) Norbert's brother Claude, Thompson found an invigorating new audience for his work in New York, Paris and the South of France. For all his non-materialist philosophy, Thompson was not above a bit of name-dropping on occasion, and like any Glaswegian boy Ally was suitably astonished to sometimes find himself in the company (and painting collections of) the likes of Bob Geldof, Petula Clark, Richard Jobson, Picasso's son Claude and even France's President Mitterand.

oil on board, signed and dated 1973, titled label verso framed image size 77cm x 51cm, overall size 88cm x 63cm Handwritten artist's label verso. Provenance: Exhibited Royal Scottish Academy Annual Exhibition (Edinburgh) 1974 no 138. Note: Johnstone was born in Edinburgh in 1892 and grew up in Napier Road, near the Gothic Mansion, Rockville. Her father, landscape artist George Whitton Johnstone RSA (1849–1901), encouraged her artistic talents, and at the age of 16 she enrolled as a student at the Edinburgh College of Art. She took the Life Class with Ernest Stephen Lumsden where she revealed her talents at informal portraiture, a genre for which she became well known. In 1914 she became a member of staff at the Edinburgh College of Art. From the summer of 1915, she became a regular annual visitor to Kirkcudbright in Galloway, where she would paint with other mainly female artists including Jessie Marion King as part of the Kirkcudbright School. Dorothy Johnstone, with her close friends Cecile Walton and Mary Newbery, was a member of The Edinburgh School, which reformed in 1919, a collective of gifted and progressive artists associated with the Edinburgh College of Art. During 1919 she was living in Kirkcudbright where she had an affair with Vera Holme who would go on to be the 'Pankhursts' chauffeur'. In 1924, at the peak of her artistic career, Johnstone mounted a joint exhibition in Edinburgh with fellow artist Cecile Walton. She married her colleague and fellow group member David MacBeth Sutherland in 1924. They had a son, Sir Iain Sutherland, in 1925, and a daughter in 1928. As a consequence of her husband's appointment in 1933 as Head of Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen (now at Robert Gordon's University) and of the "marriage bar" in place at the time, she gave up her career and her students. She kept her links with Edinburgh by continuing to exhibit her portraits and landscapes at the Royal Scottish Academy to which she was elected an Associate (ARSA) in 1962. Johnstone painted landscapes and portraits, particularly of children, and her style was free and relaxed, whether using oil, watercolour, pencil or chalk. Some of her work is displayed at the National Gallery of Scotland. When she died in 1980, she bequeathed her important early painting 'Marguerites' (painted in 1912) to the Royal Scottish Academy. In 1983 Aberdeen Art Gallery gave her a major memorial show which toured, then in 1987 Bourne Fine Art (now The Fine Art Society) in Edinburgh and London staged a joint exhibition of the works of Dorothy Johnstone and her husband David MacBeth Sutherland.

watercolour on paper, signed, titled label verso mounted, framed and under glass image sie 36cm x 47cm, overall size 61cm x 71cm Artist's label verso. Note: Bill Wright's talent first became evident when he was a boy, drawing endlessly for amusement while bedbound with illness. He went on to study painting at Glasgow School of Art and became an award-winning watercolourist, constantly inspired by was seascape and ever-changing sky on the Kintyre peninsula where he had a second home. Glasgow-born Wright, the son of a shipyard plater, was brought up in Partick and started his schooling at the city’s Dowanhill Primary before being evacuated to Dunoon during the Second World War. After returning home he attended Hyndland Senior Secondary and despite being discouraged by his parents, who would have preferred him to have a “proper job”, in 1949 he began his studies at Glasgow School of Art. They were interrupted by national service – a duty he felt hindered the progression of his art career. He served at Catterick army garrison but was a pacifist who abhorred war and dismissed the opportunity to be promoted to Sergeant as an army career held no interest. His first teaching post was at East Park School in Glasgow’s Maryhill. He then moved in 1965 to St Patrick’s High School in Dumbarton where he spent two years before becoming art adviser for the area at the age of 36. Over the next two decades he fostered the idea of instilling a cultural interest in art among pupils. He formed working groups to reform teaching of first and second-year students, encouraged forward-looking principal teachers and recruited many young teachers. His ethos was that teachers were not just there to create artists but to give all children a good art experience. He also established a residential art course for school children, at the Pirniehall residential educational facility at Croftamie in Dunbartonshire, where youngsters from different backgrounds could investigate the idea of furthering an art career through experiencing a range of different mediums in an art camp environment. And he is said to have been instrumental in encouraging the implementation of Scotland’s Standard Grade art and design qualification. However, he suffered from the chronic arthritic condition ankylosing spondylitis which, by the age of 55, forced him to take early retirement from his post in the education department of Strathclyde Regional Council. Meanwhile, as he had strived to enthuse youngsters with his own passion for art, he had been elected, in 1977, to the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour. A member of the Glasgow Arts Club for many years, he was also an elected member of the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts and Paisley Art Institute, served as president of the Scottish Artists’ Benevolent Association for 14 years and was a Scottish Arts Council lecturer, touring the country discussing art. But perhaps his own greatest inspiration was the view from a cottage he stumbled upon half a century ago, seven miles from Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre. He rented the property at Bellochantuy and set up a studio there where he drew on the vistas stretching 180 degrees, encompassing sea, beach, rocks and sky. He was utterly smitten by the area and was ultimately bequeathed the cottage by the owner who had become a close family friend. Over the years he came to know the area intimately and was fascinated by the constantly changing moods of the sea and light of the sky which formed the majority of his output. One large body of work, "Towards Islay", focused on the view from the back of the cottage. He captured the patterns and waves of the sea, sometimes adding a bird, limpit, mermaid’s purse, rock lines or some seaweed. But at times his works were very abstract and symbolic, concentrating on themes of nature and transience. He was hung in all the major shows in Scotland and in galleries across the country from Aberdeenshire to Edinburgh, Glasgow and south of the border. His work also features in public collections of Stirling and Strathclyde Universities, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and the Educational Institute of Scotland. And he was recognised with The Laing Prize for Landscape and Seascape and the RSW’s Sir William Gillies Award.

oil on board, titled verso framed and under glass image size 20cm x 29cm, overall size 34cm x 44cm Note: Sheila Macnab Macmillan was born in Glasgow in 1928. She attained a degree in Geography at Glasgow University and went on to train as a teacher. However, she had always painted and her talent was strongly encouraged by her uncle the distinguished Iain Macnab RE ROI (1890 - 1967) who persuaded Sheila to come to London and train under him. Iain Macnab had been Principal at Heatherley's Art School (1925 - 1940) and then went on to be founding Principal of the hugely influential Grosvenor School of Modern Art. Sheila's London influences and Glasgow School foundations evolved into a distinctive and individual style. She usually worked "en plein air" and her work is semi-abstract. She focused mainly on landscape where her training as a geographer, allowed her to use her understanding of land formation, the delicate balance of the seasons and the interaction between Man and the environment. Her uncle's concept of "rhythm" is evident in Sheila's work and remained a constant throughout her career. She painted in Scotland, Spain. France and Italy and exhibited widely, especially in Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and Newcastle. Her work appeared frequently at the Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Glasgow Institute, Paisley Art Institute annual exhibitions and at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (London). She won numerous awards and prizes over a long and distinguished career. In recent times we have offered a growing number of Sheila Macmillan's paintings with several achieving more than £1000. The current leading price is £1700 (hammer) for "Ronda, Spain", a 45 x 48cm oil on board (lot 510A, The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction 24th October 2021).

A Great War pair of medals the 12th Battalion London Regiment (The Rangers) who may have enhanced his age in order to enlist. British War and Victory Medals, “6457 PTE. G.J. WYE 12-LOND R.”, some Verdigris on the Victory Medal, with metal identity bracelet named to “GJ WYE C.E. 12 LOND 472953”. George James Richard Wye, a resident of Deptford, London attested for 12th London Regiment on 11th October 1916 giving his age as 20 years and 5 months. He served in France from 5th February 1917 until 13th August 1918 when he returned to the UK having been wounded by a GSW to the left leg 4 days earlier. There are some discrepancies with his age on the various records: on the 1911 census he was 12 years old; when he enlisted in 1916 he gave his age as 20, yet on the 1921 census he was 23; and when he died in April 1969 he was 69 years old. It does look as if he may have inflated his age by a couple of years to be able to enlist.

Ca. 30 BC - AD 200. A gold ring composed of a round hoop and discoid bezel with a ropework border. It depicts an image of a bird of prey perching with wings spread and head turned. It has an inscription in an arc above the bird's head '·al : for : ye : best ·' (all for the best). The ring's find location is close to an estate which was owned in the 14th century by the Skrene family and which included among their number a senior barrister and sergeant-at-law named William Skrene who was an Irish-born barrister and judge. The family name lives on to the present day at Roxwell with Skreens Park and for local road names nearby. William spent his professional life in England, being appointed King's Serjeant and a judge of assize, as well as Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer in 1395-7. In addition to the estate at Roxwell, he acquired various lands in Essex, including at Writtle, Great Finborough and Stanford Rivers. William died in 1419-20 and left sons and a daughter; his heir, also called William, married Alice Tyrrell, widow of Hamo Strange, and daughter of John Tyrrell, who was Speaker of the House of Commons of England for three terms. The exact combination of motto and crest or badge has eluded researches thus far. However, the ring was found near Roxwell, Essex, and evidently belonged to a person of some wealth and status given the quantity of gold used in its manufacture and the quality of the workmanship. The style of the ring is close in appearance to a number of early 15th century examples, which began to appear with the badge and motto rather than the full armorial bearings, so it is very possible that this is the personal signet ring of William Skrene, or possibly of his sons, William or Thomas.

This piece is accompanied by an authentication statement by Sami Fortune, ancient jewellery specialist.

Late Period, Mid Dynasty 26th, Ca. 610 - 570 BC.A basalt bust of an imposing pharaoh. He stares forward with prominent facial details and protruding ears under a nemes headdress. The face is framed by the sides of the headdress, and the lappets hang down to rest on the broad shoulders. The reverse of the head is well defined, and part of the nemes extends down the centre of his spine. This bust may have been created as a standalone object rather than a piece from a larger statue. It is indefinite who this model was meant to represent, though the refined quality and sophisticated presentation indicate it was likely a pharaoh of this period. A long inscription is engraved on the plinth on the reverse of the statue.

1986 Yamaha TY250, 246cc. Registration number C181 JGL. Frame number 59N 001784. Engine number 59N 001784.Sold with the V5C, Yamaha dating letter, expired MOT.Having come to dominate the spheres of road racing and moto-cross, the major Japanese motorcycle factories turned their attention to the trials world in the early 1970s, recruiting top British riders to assist with machine development. In Yamaha’s case this meant Mick Andrews, late of Ossa, who began work on the TY250 in 1973. A conventional, air-cooled, single-cylinder two-stroke equipped with Yamaha’s reed-valve induction, the TY250 proved good enough for Andrews to win the arduous Scottish Six Days Trial in 1974 and the model went onto establish a formidable reputation in observed trails. Mono-shock rear suspension and a six-speed gearbox were among the innovations tried, both of which later found their way on to the production model.This example was first registered in the UK in 2018 to Martyn Smith, who fully restored it, our vendor bought it from him and has used it very lightly.

Royal Memorabilia, Pigeon Fancier/Carrier, and local Norfolk interest. EXTREMELY RARE and PROBABLY UNIQUE New Year Greeting to HRH Queen Elizabeth II delivered by carrier pigeon from the British Trawlermen Association for her first New Year's Day as Queen on 1st January 1953 (Coronation Year). This lot contains all the planning and preparatory letters for this 'first', details of the chosen pigeons for the task, the cannister from the pigeon that successfully made the journey and the original message. All the original newspaper and magazine cuttings and photographs of the pigeons telling of the story are present as well as the letters that followed including details of a special trophy that was later awarded to Turvey for this accomplishment. There are also numerous other photographs and pigeon related letters and information. The story itself was of the late local Sheringham pigeon fancier, Colin Turvey - former military personnel who worked with wartime pigeon carriers. Turvey sent 4 pigeons to a fellow pigeon fancier in Hull. His job was to ensure that the pigeons that were sent were safely installed on the trawler boat 'Cape Spartel', which was leaving for the arctic ocean to Bear Island on a fishing trip, from which the three pigeons were released with New Year Greetings. Each pigeon had a small red plastic cannister with a screw top attached to its leg, each containing the same greeting to the Queen. The hope was that at a difficult time of the year in terms of weather conditions was that at least one pigeon would make the c.200 mile journey back to its home loft. They were released and one of the pigeons - 'Jack' by name - made it safely back to Colin Turvey's loft in Sheringham. He then drove the message to Sandringham and hand delivered it to the Queen on New Year's day 1953. Whilst at Sandringham Turvey met and chatted to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh who was also a keen pigeon fancier (as was The Queen.) (See newspaper article included in the lot) The message read:  (To) HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN, SANDRINGHAM, BY PIGEON FROM TRAWLER 'CAPE SPARTEL', NEW YEARS DAY 1953, 0900 HOURS' and 'YOUR GRACIOUS MAJESTY, THE TRAWLER FISHERMEN OF BRITAIN SEND THEIR HEARTIEST LOYAL GOOD WISHES TO YOUR MAJESTY FOR THIS HAPPY CORONATION YEAR, AND PRAY FOR A LONG AND SUCCESSFUL REIGN.

Henry Moret (French, 1856-1913) Riviere de St Maurice 1905 Signed lower right, 'Moret' Oil on canvas Provenance: Galerie Durand-Ruel, Paris (Stock no. 8632); Chester H. Johnson Gallery, Chicago, USA; Anon. Sale Christie's New York, October 8 1987, Lot 32; Private Collection, Switzerland; With Connaught Brown; Private Collection, UK (acquired from the above December 1998). Exhibited, Connaught Brown, The Winter Exhibition, November 1998 - January 1999 This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Monsieur J.Y Rolland, who is currently preparing the catalogue raisonne. Born in Cherbourg in 1856 Moret remained drawn to the North of France and his maritime roots and spent almost his entire life living and working in Brittany. Moret began his career in Paris, working in the ateliers of J-L Gerome and J.P. Laurens and made. his first appearance at the Salon in 1880. However he was to move rapidly away from academic conventions and concentrated on working ‘en plein an'. Along with Gustave Loiseau, and Maxime Maufra, Moret was part of the group of young artists who clustered around Gauguin at Pont-Aven. From 1891 Moret applied the principles of synthetism to his work: in particular, the massing of colour zones and reduction of tonal effects, and the establishment of clear planes in pictorial structure. This latter element was always to remain a characteristic feature of his work. Moret’s travels around the morbihonnaise coast before he settled in Douelan in 1896, and the time he spent in the Iles de Groix and d’Ouessant observing and studying local peasant customs and the world of fishermen, was to concentrate his attention on marine subjects. These preoccupied him almost exclusively for the rest of his career. In 1895 Moret met the famous Neo-Impressionist dealer, Paul Durand-Ruel, who immediately took him on. From this time, Moret increasingly adopted Impressionist values and techniques: his brushwork became more broken and spontaneous; and the use of colour more varied, with tones inter-mingled. La Riviere Saint-Maurice exemplifies his virtuosity in this, capturing the fleeting atmosphere of a sunny day in the undisturbed Brittany countryside and the rich and varied waters of the river. The river depicted is most likely located in the surrounding area of the Abbatial site of St Maurice in the Finistere, Brittany. Dimensions: (Frame) 21 in.
