Royal. The German grand piano of Edward VIII from Fort Belvedere, by Carl Becke, 1920s, instrument no 201248, rosewood case, 145cm l, Harrods Ltd metal label with stamped stock number H 43444, sold with Harrods Ltd typed letter of provenance, 1939 and a duet stool (3) Provenance: Edward VIII subsequently Duke of Windsor (1894-1972), from c1929-February 1938 when sold at auction in London; Harrods Ltd by which sold to Henry Cecil Treglown (1903-1975) on 14 January 1939; thence by descent to the present vendors King Edward VIII signed the instrument of abdication at his home Fort Belvedere on December 10th, 1936. He departed for France the following day, leaving most of his possessions behind. Now Edward, Duke of Windsor, he continued to maintain his former royal employees and the upkeep of the house and grounds for over a year, fervently wishing that his brother King George VI might allow him and his wife the Duchess of Windsor, formerly Mrs Wallis Simpson, to return. In Spring 1938 the Duke's personal possessions were despatched to the couple's new home at the Château de la Croë on the Cap d'Antibes in the French Riviera. Impractical to move larger items, including the present piano, others were sold anonymously at several auctions in London. To British society and the peoples of the British Empire and dominions alike, the abdication crisis and its causes were profoundly shocking and to many shameful reflection, not only on either the conduct of the couple and their circle or the political and religious elite or both. Whether because of the auctioneer's own distaste in conducting the sale of the former king's household goods, or that any reputation for probity they may have had would be harmed by implication in doing so, is a reflection of the mores of the day. The gentlemen of the press, previously almost wholly reticent over the King's infatuation with an American divorcee, soon heard of the auctions, the piano exciting particular interest. The Daily Mirror's special correspondent reported on February 8th 1938 "DUKE'S PIANO FOR SALE, BUT BUYERS WILL NOT KNOW IT. Someone will buy a second-hand piano in London in the next few weeks not knowing that it once belonged to the Duke of Windsor and was his favourite instrument at Fort Belvedere... I found the piano, a rosewood grand in a second-hand saleroom in London. As I played a few bars an official of the piano firm told me: To us it is just another second-hand instrument to be sold at an ordinary figure "We have no intention of capitalising the fact that it was once owned by the Duke, although we could get a fabulous figure for it if we did. "It is to be sold very cheaply and several buyers have come to try it. There is nothing to distinguish it from dozens of other pianos and even when it is bought we shall not reveal its secret." A popular prince, admired for his enthusiastically modern tastes and opinions, Edward enjoyed music and was a tolerable musician; he played the piano and the bagpipes and had a particular liking for jazz and swing. A great admirer of Duke Ellington whom he met in the 1930s, the two became life-long friends.Please note Mellors & Kirk have applied for an exemption licence for the ivory in this lot. Ref: FYQV7MMW

Genre - - William Mulready. (1786 - 1863). Dudelsackspieler vor häuslichem Publikum. Um 1820. Öl auf Leinwand. 30,5 x 41 cm. Signiert. Die detailreichen Genrebilder des irisch-britischen Künstlers William Mulready spiegeln das ländliche Leben Englands Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts wieder. Beeinflusst von der niederländischen Genremalerei des 17. Jahrhundert, spezialisierte sich Mulready auf alltägliche und erzählerische Szenen, die er mit großer Detailtreue und Lebendigkeit wiedergab. So zeigt das uns vorliegende Werk eine familiäre Hausgemeinschaft, die gebannt dem zum Spiel ansetzenden Dudelsackspieler lauscht. - Kanten teils stärker bestoßen, partiell mit Farbverlust. Einige oberflächliche Bereibungen sowie Spuren früherer Rahmung an der unteren Bildkante. Insgesamt noch gut. Stimmungsvolle Komposition mit subtiler Lichtführung. Oil on canvas. Signed. - The richly detailed genre paintings by the Irish-British artist William Mulready reflect rural life in England in the mid-19th century. Influenced by Dutch genre painting of the 17th century, Mulready specialised in everyday and narrative scenes, which he depicted with great attention to detail and vividness. The present work, for example, shows a family household listening spellbound to the bagpiper playing the bagpipes. - Edges partially bumped, some loss of colour. Some superficial rubbing and traces of previous framing to the lower edge of the image. Overall still good. Atmospheric composition with subtle lighting.

The magnificent ‘Dargai V.C. action’ D.C.M. pair awarded to Lance-Corporal Piper Patrick Milne, Gordon Highlanders who, ‘leading the Highland Pipers, was hit the moment he appeared at the head of them; and Piper Findlater, though shot through both legs, continued, while sitting on the ground, to play his pipes undauntedly’ Distinguished Conduct Medal, V.R.

Gord: Highrs.) mounted as worn, a couple of small edge bruises and light contact marks to the second, otherwise good very fine (2) £6,000-£8,000 --- D.C.M. Recommendation submitted to The Queen, 9 July 1898: 3711 L/Cpl. Piper P. Milne, 1 Gordon Highlanders. Dargai, 20 October, 1897, severely wounded. Two Victoria Crosses and seven Distinguished Conduct Medals were awarded to the Gordon Highlanders for gallantry in this action. The circumstances surrounding Lance-Corporal Piper Patrick Milne’s gallantry at Dargai are best described in his obituary notice published on March 6, 1943: ‘He Led Dargai Assault - Heroic Aberdeen Piper Who Won D.C.M. The piper who led the charge on the heights of Dargai in the nineties - when Piper Findlater won the V.C. - has died in Aberdeen. He was Mr Patrick Milne, 99 Don St., Aberdeen, and was awarded the D.C.M. for his bravery at Dargai. From Rawalpindi the Gordons battalion in which Mr Milne served was rushed to the Khyber Pass, where trouble had broken out. After a minor engagement, the big British attack began on the morning of October 20, 1897. The artillery opened fire at 8 a.m., and shortly afterwards the order was given for the Gordons to attack after three other regiments had failed. The Gordons fixed bayonets and broke into a cheer. Five pipers led the charhe, and foremost of them all was Lance-Corporal Patrick Milne playing “Cock o’ the North.” Piper Findlater fell, shot through the ankle, but continued to play, propped against a boulder - his tune was “The Haughs o’ Cromdale.” Half-way across the open ground Milne fell with a bullet through the lung. He crashed on top of his pipes, and the weight of his body caused the bag to emit a wail for quite a period. He heard the cheer that announced that the Gordons had captured the position. His life was despaired of for a time, but he pulled through. A curious mistake at first attributed Findlater’s plucky conduct to Milne, who was stated to have played as he lay on the ground with both ankles shattered. However, Milne quickly took steps to correct the error, and many times he expressed the hope that Findlater would be awarded the Victoria Cross. Indeed, there ensued an interesting tussle between the two, each trying to make out the other as the heor. Findlater insisted that all the credit was due to Milne, who led the charge, while Milne maintained the glory belonged to Findlater, who carried on after being so badly hurt. The Aberdeen piper lost his bagpipes on that occasion - they were probably picked up by the Afridis. He hailed from Ardoyne, near Insch, where his father was a small farmer. After a time as a farm servant, he joined the Gordon Highlander when 19. When stationed in Ireland he began to learn the pipes, and on going to India he joined the pipe band of the 1st Battalion. Mr Milne, who was 71 years of age, was for 37 years in the employment of the Customs and Excise in Aberdeen. He is survived by his wife, three sons, and a daughter. The eldest son is in the Merchant Service, and the youngest is with the R.A.F. in the Middle East.’ Sold with Gordon Highlanders bonnet badge and several contemporary news cuttings concerning Piper Milne’s gallantry at Dargai.
