Waterloo 1815 (William Clerk, 2nd Batt. Coldstream Gds.), fitted with steel clip and replacement ring suspension and a J. Lazeruck riband brooch for wear, a couple of light edge bruises and light scratching, otherwise very fineWilliam Clerk is confirmed on the Royal Mint roll (entry 614) and appears as William Clarke on the typed roll, serving in Lieutenant-Colonel H. R. Pakenham's Company.The Battalion formed part of Major-General Sir John Byng's 2nd Guards Brigade, and was ordered to recapture Bossu Wood from Jérôme's Division at the Battle of Quatre Bras on 16 June. French voltigeurs (skirmishers), wearing dark blue and green, picked off the scarlet British guardsmen as they struggled through the undergrowth and scrub. When eventually the Guards emerged from the wood and reformed into line, they were forced back by Piré's 6th Lancers and 1st Chasseurs. A costly stalemate, Quatre Bras at least bought Wellington time to extract his forces and re-deploy on the ridge of Mont St. Jean, just nine miles south of Brussels, Napoleon's objective.At the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815, the whole of 2nd Battalion was committed to the defence of Hougoumont, a vast farmhouse complex guarding Wellington's right flank. Initially, only Lieutenant-Colonel MacDonnell's Light Company was at Hougoumont, the other Companies being positioned on the ridge. At 2.30 p.m., following the repulse of D'Erlon's Corps, the other Companies marched down to reinforce MacDonnell, defending Hougoumont vigorously over the next six hours.Hougoumont was pivotal to Wellington's strategy. Whereas he never committed more than 5% of his infantry to its defence, around 23% of Napoleon's infantry made futile attempts to capture it. Had these infantrymen been available to Marshal Ney at La Haye Sainte at 6 p.m., Ney could easily have smashed through Wellington's beleaguered centre, changing the course of the battle.…

StaffSome 48 Medals issued to the Staff, 3 of these to Interpreters and all with clasp '1879'.'The Border Horse now began to fire at the distant snipers, and Wood waited to see what effect the shots might have. A Zulu suddenly popped up from a rock a scant fifty yards away and fired. Wood noted that the shot seemed low, but Lloyd fell back, exclaiming, "I'm hit - badly! My back is broken!" Wood and Campbell caught him and carried him down to the stone kraal. Wood then started back up, leading his horse, but a shot struck it and killed it, and when he regained the kraal he found that Lloyd had died. Wood now ordered Weatherley to take the Border Horse up to clear the trail, but the men balked again. Campbell then picked up Lysons and four privates from Wood's escort and started up the trail in single file, making for a cave from which several Zulus were firing. The narrow passage was only two feet wide between towering rock walls, and as Campbell plunged into the mouth of the cave, a Zulu fired a shot straight into his forehead, killing him instantly. Undaunted, Lysons and Private Edmun Fowler sprang over his body, driving the Zulus into the recesses of the mountain. Lysons then held the mouth of the cave while the others dragged Campbell's body back to the kraal…'High drama on Hlobane Mountain on 29 March 1879; The Washing of the Spears by Donald R. Morris, refersThe outstanding South Africa Medal awarded to Mr. L. Lloyd, Evelyn's Wood's interpreter, who - in one of the most contentious episodes of the conflict - was mortally wounded in the disastrous action at Hlobane on 29 March 1879South Africa 1877-79, 1 clasp, 1879 (L. Lloyd, Esq., Interpreter), suspension claw tightened, minor contact wear, very fineLlewelyn Lloyd was a prominent casualty in the disastrous action fought at Hlobane Mountain on 28 March 1879, his death being indelibly linked to that of Captain Hon. R. G. E. Campbell of the Coldstream Guards, as outlined in Colonel Evelyn Wood's much quoted despatch to Lord Chelmsford. It was an episode in which incompetence played its role, amidst charges of cowardice, and has accordingly remained the subject of ongoing debate.In fact, no history of the Zulu War would be complete without mention of this contentious chapter, some historians claiming that Wood (later Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood, V.C., G.C.B., G.C.M.G.) momentarily lost the plot.An excellent account of events may be found in John Young's Horror at the Devil's Pass - The Battle of Hlobane, 28 March 1879, from which the following extract has been taken:'…Dawn broke and a new horror became apparent. The Zulus were behind prepared barricades and concealed within caves that riddled the mountain, awaiting the assault. From behind their positions, the Zulus opened fire on the scaling troops. Two officers of the Frontier Light Horse, Lieutenants Otto von Stietencron and George Williams, fell dead, two troopers also fell to the fire.Wood and his escort rode to the sound of the firing. Just below the summit of the mountain plateau they chanced upon Lieutenant-Colonel Frederick Augustus Weatherley and his Border Lancers. Weatherley's unit should have been with Buller, but during the storm they had become separated and now lagged behind. Wood spied a Zulu rifleman level his gun in his direction and he expressed his contempt of the Zulu marksmanship. The Zulu fired, and his bullet found its mark, shattering the spine of Mr. Llewelyn Lloyd, Wood's Political Assistant and his interpreter, who was at Wood's side. Wood attempted to lift the mortally wounded man, but stumbled under the weight. Captain the Honourable Ronald Campbell, Coldstream Guards, Wood's chief staff officer, came to his aid and carried the dying Lloyd out of the line of fire. Again a Zulu fired at Wood, killing his lead mount. The horse fell against Wood, and caused him to stumble.A gasp went up from his men, fearing their commander wounded. Wood shouted a reassurance that he was not hit, and picking himself up, he made his way downhill to the troops' position. Angered at being pinned-down, Wood ordered Lieutenant-Colonel Weatherley to assault the position from where the fire was coming. Weatherley in turn, addressed his men, ordering them forward, but only Lieutenant J. Pool and Sub-Lieutenant H. W. Parminter responded to the command. The remainder of the Border Horse refused to assault the position, saying that it was unassailable. Captain Campbell was horrified; this was tantamount to mutiny - if not cowardice.Campbell was of ennobled birth, the son of the 2nd Earl Cawdor. Such behaviour was unheard of within the class to which he belonged. Uttering his contempt of the fainthearted volunteers, he sprang forward towards the foe, supported by Second-Lieutenant Henry Lysons, 90th Light Infantry and four mounted infantrymen of Wood's personal escort, also drawn from the 90th. The small party advanced in a determined manner, clambering over boulders and through crevices, which led to the Zulu position. The path was so narrow that the advance could only be made in single file. Campbell gained the mouth of the cave first, only to be shot in the head at point-blank. Undeterred, Lysons and Private Edmund Fowler carried the position, forcing the Zulus to withdraw into a series of subterranean passages and, with Lysons and Fowler in pursuit, they killed all those who offered resistance, and put the others to flight.With Lysons covering the cave mouth, Campbell's body was brought down and placed alongside Lloyd, who had succumbed to his wound. Fearful of the bodies being mutilated, Wood decided to bury them on the field. Being the son of a clergyman, he wished to conduct a proper burial service, only to realise that his service book was still in the wallets of his saddle on his dead mount. He ordered his bugler, Alexander Walkinshaw, to recover the prayer book. Walkinshaw, whom Wood described as "one of the bravest men in the Army," calmly strode up, under heavy fire and recovered not only the prayer book but also the entire saddle.Wood had the two bodies removed some three hundred yards downhill, to where the soil was less rocky and the Zulus of Wood's escort dug the grave with their spears, under the watchful eye of Prince Mthonga. Their task completed, Wood committed the two bodies to the ground, reading an abridged version of the burial service from a prayer book which belonged to Captain Campbell's wife, who was the daughter of the Bishop of Rochester, Kent…'Lieutenant Henry Lysons and Private Edmund Fowler, both of the 90th Regiment, were awarded the Victoria Cross.PostscriptOn 21 May 1880, Mrs. Campbell was taken to Hlobane where a headstone was placed on the grave of her husband and Llewelyn Lloyd. Some of the party, including Empress Eugenie, actually climbed up the Devil's Pass to the summit. Finally, they reached the site where the Prince Imperial was killed. Another memorial stone was laid and the empress planted cuttings of a tree she had brought from the family estate at Camden Place in Chislehurst. The grief-stricken party returned to England by the end of July.… 25001 SALEROOM NOTICE:Clasp an old tailors copy, naming details as described. The estimate is revised to £6,000-8,000.

HERTER BROTHERS, NEW YORK FINE AESTHETIC MOVEMENT WALL MIRROR, CIRCA 1880 ebonised wood, with marquetry inlay and gilt embellishments, bevelled mirror plates 154cm x 128.8cm Literature: Howe K.S. et al Herter Brothers: Furniture and interiors for a gilded age, Harry N. Abrams in association with the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 1994, pp. 234-5.A mirror of similar design was probably made for the John Sloane residence in New York City circa 1882 where the firm were employed to decorate and furnish the library and parlour of the new home of John Sloane (1834-1905) at 997 Fifth Avenue. Some of the woodwork, furniture and decorative objects from this scheme are held at the Brooklyn Museum. See Stair, New York Americana at Stair, Thursday August 5th 2021, lot 289 where the mirror is marked ‘Mr Sloan’ verso.  The Herter Brothers, established by German immigrants Gustave and Christian Herter, were among the most distinguished cabinetmakers and interior designers in New York City during the last quarter of the 19th century. Renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship and sophisticated aesthetic, the firm catered to an elite clientele, including figures such as William H. Vanderbilt and J. Pierpont Morgan. This mirror, dating to approximately 1880, exemplifies the Herter Brothers' mastery of high Aesthetic Movement design. The striking golden marquetry set against a polished black surface reflects the strong influence of Eastern lacquerware, which was a defining characteristic of the Anglo-Japanese style that gained popularity during this period. Additionally, the mirror’s structure pays homage to the eclecticism of late 19th-century design by incorporating the traditional 17th-century cushion-framed mirror form. Constructed in a refined reform style, the piece is further embellished with symmetrical, stylized floral and animal motifs that draw inspiration from Near Eastern decorative arts. This synthesis of historical references, global influences, and meticulous craftsmanship aligns with the core principles of the Aesthetic Movement, which emphasized beauty and artistic expression over purely functional design.

Robert Spencer Robinson was born on 6 January 1809, the third son of Sir John Robinson, Bt., Archdeacon of Armagh, by Mary Anne, second daughter of James Spencer of Rathangan, Kildare, and grandson of William Friend (1715-1866), Dean of Canterbury. He entered the Royal Navy in December 1821 and first saw action as a Midshipman in the boats of H.M.S. Sybille against pirates in the Mediterranean in 1826. Having then passed his examination, he served on the South America station in the Dublin, followed by further appointments in the Mediterranean in the Asia and Tyne. Advanced to Commander in June 1838, he took command of the Hydra in March 1840, in which capacity he distinguished himself in the Syria operations of 1840, gaining advancement to post-rank and the Turkish Order of Nishan el Ifikhar; he was also the recipient of a presentation sabre from the Sultan of Turkey (see Naval Medals 1793-1856, by Captain K. J. Douglas-Morris, for further details of these awards). Over the next decade he remained on half-pay but in 1850 he took command of the Arrogant in the Channel Fleet and, in June 1854, he commissioned the Colossus, which formed part of the Fleet in the Baltic and Kronstadt in 1855. Having then served as Captain of the Steam Reserves in Plymouth and Portsmouth, he was advanced to Rear-Admiral in June 1860 and joined a commission to enquire into the management of Royal dockyards. And it was direct from this role, in February 1861, that he was appointed Controller of the Navy, an office which he occupied for the next 10 years. Much has been written about Robinson’s time in office, for it encompassed a vital chapter in the Navy’s transition from wood-built to iron-built ships, in addition to advances in science and design that heralded a swathe of new ordnance, armour and engines, and crucial improvements to dockyards and ship-building. Much of this vital modernisation faced both internal and external opposition, but Robinson remained firm in his convictions and pulled no punches, the defence analyst Edward Luttwak crediting him with a convincing display of ‘amoral navalism’, namely ‘professionals agitating for the enlargement of the force at their disposal without regard for either the constraints imposed by politics and foreign policy - or any other factors for that matter - or the actual menace posed by rival forces.’ Thanks to Robinson’s unorthodox approach, and his keen eye on developments taking place in France and elsewhere, the Royal Navy maintained its domination of the High Seas, and he maintained his assertive approach as a Lord of the Admiralty under Hugh Childers in 1868-71. A well-known Naval contributor to The Times, Robinson also published Results of Admiralty Organisation as Established by Sir James Graham and Mr. Childers (1871). Innovation rarely comes without mishaps, however, a case in point being the loss of the recently launched H.M.S. Captain in September 1870, in a Force 9 to 11 gale off Cape Finisterre. She capsized with a loss of 472 lives, among them the son of H. C. E. Childers, the First Lord of the Admiralty. Childers partly, and unfairly, attributed the Captain’s loss to Robinson, thereby bringing an end to the latter’s term in office at the Admiralty. In addition to his appointment as K.C.B., Robinson was advanced to Vice-Admiral in April 1866 and to Admiral in June 1871. Placed on the Retired List in the following year, he died at his residence in Eaton Place, London on 27 July 1889, and was buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.

A Great War ‘Western Front’ M.M. awarded to Private F. J. Du Preez, 2nd Regiment, South African Infantry, who stoically delivered food and ammunition to his comrades under heavy shellfire Military Medal, G.V.R. (5636 Pte. F. J. Du Preez. 2/S.A. Inf:) vedge bruising, traces of adhesive to reverse, nearly very fine £240-£280 --- M.M. London Gazette 3 October 1918. The original recommendation for an immediate award by Lieutenant-Colonel H. W. M. Bamford, Commanding South African Composite Regiment, states: ‘On the night 30th April/1st May this man was a transport driver taking limbers of rations and ammunition to his Battalion in the line near Ridge Wood. The whole area from Ouderdom forward was subject to considerable hostile shelling and du Preez was severely wounded in the leg en route. He was taken to a dressing station at Ouderdom and ordered by the M.O. to be immediately evacuated. In spite of this, as soon as his wound was dressed, Private du Preez returned to his limber and continued his journey forward under fire for a mile and safely delivered his load. The night in question was a particularly difficult one for transport work, and Private du Preez, in great pain the whole time, showed marked gallantry in his determination to finish his duty. This man has been previously noticed for gallantry under fire. He has been at duty with his Battalion in the field continuously for 2 and a half years.’ Firdinant Johannes du Preez, a farmer, was born in Adelaide in Cape Province on 29 April 1885 and worked on his father’s property at Fort Beaufort, Cape Colony, before attesting for the 2nd South African Infantry on 7 September 1915. Initially posted to Egypt, he was transferred to the Western Front and received a gunshot wound to the thigh on 29 April 1918. Sent briefly to the South African Military Hospital, he returned to active service with a metal fragment still inside his body and was awarded the Military Medal for gallantry near the hamlet of Ouderdom on the Poperinghe-Wytschaete road. According to the recipient’s service record, he was awarded a Bar to the Military Medal in the London Gazette of 7 October 1918, the second award being supported by the Forsyth roll. This remains unconfirmed, possibly an administrative error or a case of two separate events being referenced in the single citation above. Du Preez survived the Great War and was discharged at Bordon in October 1918. Sold with copied service record and extensive private research, including the original hand written recommendation for the M.M.
