Registration – P402 LOXChassis No. – SAXXNWAZEBD135110M.O.T. – October 2025Odometer – 71,597If ever there was a car that fully embraced the special edition, niche marketing opportunity it was the classic Mini. This approach was so successful that the Mini ultimately outlived the car launched to replace it – the Metro. ‘P402LOX’ is one of these models in 1997 Balmoral trim. The Balmoral was primarily designed for export markets but was available in the UK upon request. A rare model. The current keeper has owned ‘P402LOX’ for around two years and is the Mini’s 10th keeper to date. Just over 71,500 miles are recorded to date, a mileage which appears to be supported by the MOT history. ‘P402LOX’ has a category “C” (now category “S”) insurance marker lodged against it from 2016. This ended up being a £1,500 repair and has been professionally addressed. ‘P402LOX’ is offered here with NO RESERVE.This rare Mini model presents in bright blue livery which lends it an even more cheerful demeanour. The Balmoral special attributes are all noted. These include the white sill decals and matching bonnet stripes. The so called “Premium” alloy wheels are a “pepper pot” style and are accompanied by marginally extended wheel arch extensions. Balmoral enhancements are even more prominent inside ‘P402LOX,’ too. The upholstery is courtesy of a Burberry-style, multicoloured, checked fabric with light tan accent panels. Other special edition features include a wood veneer dashboard fascia and chrome bezeled instruments. ‘P402LOX’s’ bodywork and paintwork is rated as “average” with the interior judged as “good.”In mechanical terms ‘P402LOX’ is standard 1997 Mini MK VII fare. This means the erstwhile 1275cc multipoint fuel injected unit with a front mounted radiator. In this iteration it originally produced around 62bhp offering a top speed of close to 90mph. Power is fed to the front wheels via a four speed manual transmission. ‘P402LOX’ is reported to have some service history and has been maintained by a mechanic friend of the current owner for the last couple of years. The mechanical aspects of ‘P402LOX’ are reported as “good.”In summary:A rare special edition Mini in final MK VII formComplete with a vibrant colourway and attractive, special edition interiorOffered with numerous other Balmoral attributes

A fine Mughal red sandstone Chini Kana panel, North India, first quarter 17th centuryOf rectangular form, the large central niche with cusped foliate arch containing a long-necked flask (surahi) and two covered bowls, with variegated leaves to interstices, large flower blooms to upper corners and smaller ones to lower, 53.7 x 41.9 cm.This revetment compares closely to those on early 17th century buildings such as the Kanch Mahal and Suraj Bhank Ka Bagh at Sikander, near Agra. See Koch, Mughal Architecture, New York, 1991, figs 99 & 100. Provenance:Acquired in the early 1990s from the London art trade Footnotes: This kind of decoration is referred to as chini kana, a term meaning "China room", and applied to small wall-niches in which bottles, vases and other vessels were placed within a domestic interior.Similar flasks, arranged in niches carved in red sandstone, are illustrated in M. Zebrowski, Gold, Silver and Bronze from Mughal India, 1997, p. 185, pl. 269. This decoration can be seen at the Gate Pavilion of the Suraj Bhan ka Bagh at Sikandra near Agra and dates from the early seventeenth century. The exterior walls of another early seventeenth century palace at Sikandra, the Kanch Mahal, are also decorated with similar flasks in niches. According to Zebrowski, these motifs may originally have had a connection with the "waters of fertility" but it seems likely that by the seventeenth century they were appreciated more and simply for their elegant and stylised shapes. A comparable red sandstone chini kana panel was sold; Christie's London, 23 September 2005, lot 81 and Peter Petrou: Tales of the Unexpected 30 January 2019, Lot 31

ERNST LUDWIG KIRCHNER (GERMAN 1880-1938) ZWEI FRAUEN IM GESPRÄCH [TWO WOMAN IN CONVERSATION], c. 1921 stamped with the Nachlass E. L. Kirchner mark and numbered P Da/Ba 5 in ink and K6796 and 6450 in pencil (to reverse), Indian ink and wash on paper 30.2cm x 36cm (11 7/8in x 14 1/8in) Theo Hill Galerie, Cologne, 1968;Anthony Hepworth FIne Art, Bath;The Collection of Gillian Raffles. This work is listed in the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Archives, Wichtrach/Bern and will be included in any forthcoming catalogue raisonnés of the artist's graphic works,Exhibited:Mercury Gallery, London, Summer Exhibition, 11 June - 15 September 1973, no. 191, illustrated in exhibition catalogue. ‘I learnt to value the first sketch, so that the first sketches and drawings have the greatest worth for me. How often I’ve failed to pull off and consciously complete on the canvas that which I threw off without effort in a trance in my sketch…’ Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, ‘Zebdher Essay’, recorded in his diary, 1927 Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s Zwei Frauen im Gesprach is the perfect expression of the ‘modernist primitivism’ that defined German Expressionism in the early 20th Century, both that of the Die Brücke group (of which Kirchner was the founder and leading light) and its Munich counterpart, Der Blaue Reiter, led by Kandinsky. Both groups sought to free art – and life – from the shackles of bourgeois ideals and (in art) stifling Academism, alighting upon the cultures of non-European peoples as ciphers of a more direct and intuitive emotional ‘truth’, in particular the art of the Pacific (inspired by Gauguin) and of Africa. Whilst today we would look at the Expressionists’ approach to non-Europan art as a form of cultural appropriation, based on fundamental misconceptions of this art being ‘primitive’ rather than highly sophisticated in its own right, this approach was, at least, wholehearted in its intention: Kirchner and his contemporaries were genuinely looking to the non-European for something lacking in the West, their ‘primitivism’ beyond a mere imitation – rather a search for authenticity, a direction of travel to express true modernity. In Zwei Frauen im Gesprach, we see two young women in conversation in what looks like Kirchner’s studio – which itself was a gesamkunstwerk (total art work) of hand-printed batik hangings, dark painted walls, hand-carved furniture and African objects. In the background, we see one of these objects, a small totemic figure, listening in, perhaps, to what these two thoroughly modern women are discussing. The figure on the left, with her bobbed hair and arch hand gesture looks like she has stepped straight out of a Berlin cabaret. Indeed, she could well be the dancer Nina Hard, renowned for her slick black bob, whom Kirchner had met in Zürich in May 1921 and who was to became an important model and muse for him. And this sculpture in the background could well be African, brought back by the brother of fellow Die Brücke artist Erich Heckel, who held a job in colonial East Africa, but equally it could be a work of Heckel or Kirchner’s own making, as modern as the women themselves. Kirchner’s sculptures of the 1910s are incredible hybrid works, far beyond imitations of African art and distinctly European, that don’t really find their counterpart until Georg Baselitz’s chainsaw carvings of the 1980s. In Zwei Frauen im Gesprach Kirchner shows his mastery of brush and ink, which perhaps could be said to be the medium of German Expressionism. The brush allows for bold, jagging lines and an emphasis on outline over shading, as sculpting the figures on paper as they would with chisels out of wood; and the ink allows for speed – an idea as modern as modern can be. Brush and ink allows spontaneity, a definitiveness of gesture, that Kirchner, Heckel and fellow members of Die Brücke honed in their ‘quarter-hour’ life drawing sessions, where working quickly became analogous to working without premeditation – or as Jill Lloyd puts it, speed of execution becomes an ‘attempt… to catch modernity on the wing’. (Jill Lloyd, German Expressionism: Primitivism and Modernity, Yale University Press, New Haven & London, 1991, p.45)
