Group of antique and later china and glassware, including New Hall, Dresden, Bohemian hock glasses, etc

A small group of miscellanea - including a 19th century Miles Mason blue and gilt two-handled vase, 19cm high; a New Hall saucer dish (hairline crack); a 20th century Indian carved wooden figure of a female deity; and a small group of vintage and modern miniatures including dogs and other animals.

Mercedes-Benz introduced the W123 four-door versions in January 1976 and, while there were some technical similarities to their predecessors, the new models were larger in wheelbase and exterior dimensions. The styling was also updated, although stylistic links with the W115 were maintained. In September 1982, all models received a mild facelift which included the rectangular headlights, previously only fitted to the 280/280E which were standardised across the board as was power steering. Since February 1982, an optional five-speed manual transmission was available in all models. Optional extras included MB-Tex upholstery, velour or leather upholstery, interior wood trim, passenger side exterior mirror, five-speed manual gearbox, four-speed automatic gearbox, electric windows, central locking, sunroof, air conditioning, climate control, Alpine horn, headlamp wipers, cruise control, power steering and heated seats. An original UK-market right hand drive example, this W123-generation 230 TE was specified with Champagne paintwork over a beige interior, and is equipped with the rare factory options of cruise control and ABS. First registered in January 1983, it has had only five keepers from new and was kept by the same family for 17 years prior to the present owner. Today, the bodywork remains in very good order. While the front wings have previously been restored, this is believed to have been due to corrosion rather than any accident damage, and the underside of the car has been fully cleaned and rust-proofed to protect it from the elements. Fully resprayed a few years ago at a cost of £5,000, the Champagne metallic paintwork still looks good, with only two minor blemishes on the scuttle panel and a bubble at the front driver’s side of the sunroof panel, which is commensurate with the vehicle’s age. All the body trims, including the brightwork and plastic mouldings present very well. This 230 TE rides on the correct set of chromed 14-inch wheels with gold hubcaps. All four feature some chips and scratches to their surfaces, so would perhaps benefit from refurbishment to match the quality of the paint. Inside, it still features all of its original upholstery and trim which appears to be in very good order, considering the car’s age and mileage. The seats are clad in hardwearing beige fabric and show few signs of use, save for some minor blemishes on the base of the driver’s seat. Trimmed in beige vinyl with matching cloth centre sections, the door cards are similarly smart, and while there is a small nick towards the bottom of the rear passenger-side item, this does not detract from the interior’s impressive overall condition. Entertainment is provided via a period-correct Becker Avus cassette player. This modern classic Mercedes’ most recent routine maintenance was an extensive service, which was carried out by specialist Cosford Hall Classic in late 2019 at around 157,000 miles. At a total cost of £9,000, this involved replacement of the brake components and a full engine service, as well as the fitment of a new distributor cap, rotor arm, HT leads and spark plugs, to name but a few items. Prior to this, the brake discs and pads were changed at 156,183 miles, and the timing chain was changed in September 2018. The engine was recently overhauled at a cost of £4500, new radiators installed new fuel injectors were renewed as were the fuel pipes and a new battery was installed. The radio has been changed to a recent Bluetooth one although the original Becker radio will be included with the car, which just need re attaching for use once again. A great classic Mercedes-Benz which has reached ‘cult’ status we believe. Consigned by James Good. ORIG RIGHT HAND DRIVE CARFULL RESPRAY A FEW DAYS AGO

Restored to a very high standard in the USAPrevious Senior division Mustang Club of America show winnerRare factory GT in original specificationFactory air conditioning & power steeringCirca 1,000 miles since engine rebuild and mechanical refreshThe Ford Mustang was the brainchild of Lee Lacocca and was branded as the first 'Pony Car', it was born out of a need to compete with the flood of European sports cars coming into the USA in the Sixties. The first production Mustang rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9th 1964 and was introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair on April 17th 1964. The Mustang was only available as a hardtop coupé and convertible until September 1964, it was the fastback that drew the interest of Carroll Shelby which extended the iconic reach of the Ford Mustang and firmly put it into the category of motoring legends. The Mustang sold over one million units in its first 18 months on the market and became a popular car to customise, from engine upgrades to racing stripes, no two Mustangs are often found the same. Ford kept the Mustang relatively cheap with a list price of $2,368, making the car extremely popular.This particular example is something rather special, it is a factory GT convertible, which was built on October 7th 1965 in Meuchen, New Jersey and was restored around 1988 in the USA to an extremely high standard, then only trailed to shows and covered almost no miles until around 2020. Our vendor purchased the car from Fraser Dante Limited in 2021, who refreshed the braking system and gave the car a mechanical refresh and new tyres to make it ready for use after so many years of static display. The restoration was evidently carried out to exacting standards and looks as though it could have been carried out just a handful of years ago, not nearly 40! We understand this Mustang has previously been a winner in the Senior Division of Mustang Club of America shows and it would look right at home at any classic car shows today. The Factory numbers are clearly visible around the car in the correct places and the car still retains its original C6 dated 289ci engine (which has only covered around 1,000 miles since being rebuilt) and factory specification of Wimbledon white with a white/blue pony interior and factory luggage rack on the bootlid. The car was also specified from new with the very rare option of air conditioning, which is still in place today.During our vendors ownership, an Edlebrock carburettor was fitted and tuned in August 2022, a new exhaust was fitted in September 2022 and the gearbox was stripped and rebuilt in November 2023, along with an engine oil service. This Mustang is ready to be enjoyed by the new owner right away this summer and is supplied to auction with a V5C registration document and invoices showing recent works, along with a copy of the Marti report. Thank you to Boringdon Hall Hotel & Spa for allowing us to photograph the car at their venue.

MIRIAM SACKS (SOUTH AFRICAN/BRITISH 1922-2004) COSMIC ENERGY I, 1966 initialled in wool (lower right), signed and dated (to reverse), hand sewn wool 109.5cm x 105.5cm (43in x 41 ½in) Estate of the Artist. Miriam Sacks was a South African-born British textile artist and painter. She earned an MA in Social Anthropology from the University of Cape Town before moving to London in 1946 to join her husband. In 1951, she relocated to Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), where she began painting and established a children's art school.A visit to New York proved pivotal in her artistic journey—after encountering The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries, she was inspired to explore tapestry as a medium. Developing her own unique, experimental technique, she created intricate "woven images" using needle and thread, much like a painter working with brushes and pigment. Her work drew on a diverse range of influences, from her African experiences and cultural heritage to broader social themes, blending figuration and abstraction.In 1964, Sacks returned to London and quickly gained an international reputation after exhibiting at the British Embassy in Washington, DC. At Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge, her tapestries were displayed alongside works by leading British potters,  including Han Coper and Lucie Rie, just as her work is displayed here, 50 years later.  Over the following decades, she exhibited widely at venues including the Royal Festival Hall (1971), the Victoria and Albert Museum (1971, 1973), the South African National Gallery (1972), and Leighton House (1977, 1981, 1985, 1988), among others. Esteemed figures such as Maxwell Fry and Herman Wouk championed her work, which is now held in collections across the UK, the US, South Africa, Israel, Zimbabwe, and Canada.Her memory of Africa, its landscape and extraordinary light, has inspired most of her work, both figurative and abstract. Her subject matter has been informed by her love of nature, her studies in anthropology and music, and her understanding of how technology has impacted the world. Beyond her art, Sacks was a prolific essayist and an avid collector of materials related to her life's work, many of which are featured on her website: miriamsacks.com.

FRANZ LUDWIG HERMANN (GERMAN, 1723-1791)  The Dedication of the Temple of Solomon Oil on canvas, 173 x 354cm Signed and inscribed "Invenit & Pinxit Anno MDCCXX"Franz Ludwig Hermann was thought to have been born in Ettal, Bavaria in 1723, although 1710 has also been suggested as his date of birth. Not a great deal has been written about his life, however we do know he was the son of the painter Franz Georg the Younger (1692–1768), with whom he received his artistic training. Ludwig Hermann was educated at the Noble Academy of the Ettal Benedictines. After he married in 1750, he predominantly lived and worked in the Lake Constance region, where he is said to have painted ceiling frescoes in more than twenty churches. Hermann was also a court painter for the Prince-Bishopric of Constance, a small ecclesiastical principality of the Holy Roman Empire.One of Hermann’s many commissions around lake Constance, was Münsterlingen Abbey. In fact, the only work by Herrmann in a UK public collection is a portrait of Anna Gertrude Hofner, Abbess of Münsterlingen, which is housed in the Bowes Museum, Durham. While a drawing titled The Archangel Michael Banishing Vice, from 1782 is held in the Metropolitan Museum, New York.Monumental in scale, The Dedication of the Temple of Solomon (1760) is one of several known works Hermann created depicting King Solomon. Solomon was the son of David and is believed to be responsible for undertaking construction of the First Temple and home for the Ark of the Covenant on what it thought to be the site of the present-day Temple Mount, where the Dome of the Rock presides in Jerusalem.The painting depicts a fantastical view of the Temple, where early Jewish iconography sits alongside more contemporary Italianate Mannerism. The viewers’ attention is drawn primarily to the large plume of smoke arising from the centre of the picture, which symbolises an overpowering cloud that interrupted the dedication ceremony as a sign from God, indicating Solomon’s success in creating an exalted house and seat for the Ark.Solomon kneels in the foreground as he leads the assembly in prayer, flanked by lion cubs, soldiers and an entourage. The dedication was concluded with musical celebration and sacrifices said to have included twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep.Much of the architectural language in the painting is borrowed from 17th century prints such as those of Jan Luyken (Amsterdam 1649-1712). We see objects associated with historical accounts of the Temple such as the raised sacrificial alter and Brazen Sea, a large bronze sculpture that stood in the Inner Court of the Temple and was formed of twelve oxen beneath a large basin. We can also see the ten bronze lavers present in the composition, which are described in the bible as being placed around the Temple building itself, five on the north side and the other five on the south, being used for washing the hands and feet of the priests before ritual service.The bottom flanks of the picture are filled with attendants, minstrels and perhaps merchants. Whilst the door of the temple is open and we catch a tantalising glimpse inside its gilded entrance hall, which led the way to the most sacred room of the Temple, the Holy of Holies, which in turn housed the Ark of the Covenant, the sacred relic for both Christians and the Israelites, containing the two stone tables bearing the Ten Commandments.

She was educated at Dame Chatterton's School for Young Ladies, North Dalton and after a brief spell as a housekeeper she went to train as a nurse with the Royal London Hospital.Qualifying as a state registered nurse and midwife she joined Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service on 15 August 1927 at Shorncliff, Kent as a Staff Nurse. Posted to India, Prescott was stationed at Rawalpindi in 1928 and saw a further six years of service on the subcontinent with postings at Murree, Peshawar, Nowshera and Quetta.Returning to service as a Sister on 30 May 1941, her first wartime posting was the Hospital Ship H.M.H.S. Aba. Later posted to South Africa she served at Pietermaritzburg in 1943 before being transferred to service in Italy.

K.R.Rif.C.), some light edge wear, minor contact marks, overall very fine (4)D.C.M. London Gazette 22 October 1917, the original citation states:'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty as stretcher bearer. He worked untiringly for six days, dressing the wounded under fire with admirable skill and disregard of personal danger. During this time he carried a wounded man, who was in need of immediate medical treatment, over ground which was swept by enemy snipers; they had already that day accounted for four runners who were using the same road. No praise can be too great for his courage and devotion.'M.M. London Gazette 6 January 1917.William James Barltrop, sometimes spelled Barltropp, was born near Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire around 1886. He appears on the 1901 census living at Henham Hall Cottages, near Stansted, Saffron Walden. Enlisting with the 17th (British Empire League) Battalion Barltrop entered the war in France with them at some stage after 1916.The Battalion entered the war in April 1916 and saw action during the Somme Offensive starting at Ancre in September before moving to support the attack on the Schwaben Redoubt in October. Given the date of Gazette for Barltrop's M.M. it is quite likely that his medal was related to these actions.The 17th Battalion saw out a gruelling Christmas and New Year in the Ypres Salient suffering a constant attritional stream of losses. They were back in the action proper at the start of the Third Battle of Ypres at Pilckem Ridge and saw continual fighting through July, August and into September. It was very likely during the early engagements of that Offensive that Barltrop won his D.C.M.The Regiment was seriously mauled during the German Spring Offensive of early 1918 and as such they were amalgamated into a composite Brigade. After the Offensive was halted they went into the reserve as a training cadre. Barltrop appears to have taken his pension from April 1919, his death was registered in 1925; sold together with copied research.…

JOHNSON, SAMUEL[Elementa philosophica: containing chiefly, Noetica, or things relating to the mind or understanding: and Ethica, or things relating to the moral behaviour]. Comprising Noetica: or, the First Principles of Human Knowledge; and Ethica: Or the First Principles of Moral Philosophy... Philadelphia: B. Franklin and D. Hall, 1752. First Franklin edition; the Ethica noted as the second edition, as usual. Period brown sheep ruled in blind. 7 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches (19 x 12 cm); viii, [2], ix-xxiv, 103, [3], vii, [1], 103,[1] pp.; the general title π1 not present. The binding worn, rubbed, head and foot of the spine chipped; lacking the first leaf (the general title), but with both the section titles (which bear full imprints); tear to the corner of b1 into the text, without significant loss; typical toning and age spotting throughout. Ownership indications of various generations of the Ressiquie and Denton families. This is the first edition of Johnson's Noetica, and the reprint of his Ethica (in an enlarged form), both printed by Franklin and Hall. Together (these were issued under a general title, not present here, as noted by Miller 554), they comprise the first textbook in moral philosophy written in the Colonies. Miller records that Franklin indicated that 500 copies had been printed.Johnson, a minister of the Church of England in colonial Connecticut, "was a somewhat voluminous writer, mainly on philosophy, although only a few of his writings were published in his lifetime. Owing partly to contemporary conditions in both England and America, Johnson did not receive the attention to which his thought and work entitle him ... He did good and original work in harmonizing certain of the philosophical systems of the day. He ranks with Jonathan Edwards as one of the two most important exponents of idealistic philosophy in colonial America." DAB V. No condition report?

DICKENS, CHARLES Autograph letter signed. Devonshire Terrace, June 28, 1849. Single sheet folded in half to form four written pages of 4 1/2 by 7 inches (7 x 4 3/8 inches), window mounted. Usual folds but in generally excellent condition.Addressed to Dickens' erstwhile publisher Edward Chapman, this remarkable letter encourages him to accept a manuscript, the author of which is unnamed. It reads: "Devonshire Terrace. Twenty-eighth June 1849. Dear Sir, I have a manuscript in my possession—written by a man who is known in literature—which will make a little book of about 150 pages. The idea is perfectly new, I will confess (for I have read it) and extremely well treated. The foundation of the story (with an excellent title) is the illustration of certain simple truths in natural history, and it suggests, to people young and all, a variety of pleasant and instructive considerations. I have no doubt whatever that it is a meritorious performance; and, if I were a publisher, I should be very sanguine of its success. With judicious reatment, I really believe it might sell for some time. I have promised the author my best endeavours to call attention to this piece, and I am in a condition to dispose of it. I want fifty pounds down, but I have not the least idea of driving a hard bargain, and getting that, irrevocably, and not putting the copyright out of the author's power, in the case of the publisher being well paid, would consent to any reasonable arrangement whatever.If you think that—supposing your opinion approached near to mine you would take such a work on such a condition, you shall have the manuscript to read. It is dedicated to — Owens, or I would tell you beforehand exactly what the idea is, and so give you another means of forming a judgement as to the expediency of entertaining the scheme. But time presses and I want to get the business off my hands. All that I have said of the thing, I am perfectly convinced it deserves. I have a very strong belief that it would be an extremely creditable undertaking, with a good sound prospect of success. Faithfully yours, Charles Dickens.[To:] Edward Chapman, Esquire."The letter was written during the publication of David Copperfield by Bradbury and Evans, Dickens having moved his publishing affairs from Chapman and Hall several years earlier over a dispute about the profits from A Christmas Carol. Dickens would return to them in 1858, after Bradbury and Evans refused to print a statement by Dickens about his much-publicized and highly controversial separation from his wife Catherine. This letter demonstrates that Dickens remained in cordial contact with Edward Chapman during his split with Chapman and Hall.This letter was owned by Thomas Guinzburg, the president of Viking Press and the son of its founder, Harold Guinzburg.No condition report?

Henry is best known for his important journalistic survey on urban poverty, London Labour and the London Poor, which deals with many of the same topics as Paved with Gold. Augustus, however, was the novel's main author, due to Henry's leaving the project after the first few issues. In the preface, Augustus states, "Of one thing I may humbly make a boast - the extreme truthfulness with which this book has been written... indeed, some portions of this book... were originally undertaken by me at the request of my brother, Mr. Henry Mayhew, and will, I believe, form part of his invaluable work on 'London Labour and the Poor.'" The illustrations are by H.K. Browne, or "Phiz," who illustrated many of Dickens' works.No condition report?

JEAN-PIERRE RIVES | FRANCE TRAINING SUIT | c.1975-1979Blue Adidas hooded two-piece training suit worn by Jean-Pierre Rives (b.1952). LA MARQUE AUX 3 BANDES, Creation Entex draw string hood, two zipped pockets, felt applied Adidas logo right left breast, white, red & blue stripes to sleeves, JOHN P.R. Williams stitched name tag above Adidas branding tag. Trousers with draw string waist, white, red and blue stripes to legs, whooped and zipped leg bottoms.Gifted or swapped with JPR Williams who was then very fond of the tracksuit and would wear it often and hence an ‘owner’s label’ for JPR was sewn to inside collar.A cult figure in France, Rives was a fearless open-side flanker whose mane of blond hair earned him the nickname 'Casque d'Or' (Golden Helmet). Thought of as a cult figure in France, fans around the world loved his ultra-committed style of play. Born in Toulouse on New Year's Eve 1952, Rives cultivated an all-or-nothing style of rugby and formed arguably one of the game's greatest back-row combinations with Jean-Claude Skrela and Jean-Pierre Bastiat in the 1970s. He became a favourite both at home and abroad and captained his country to victory over the All Blacks as well as the Grand Slam in 1981. He made 59 appearances for Les Bleus and captained his country on 34 occasions. As with JPR, Rives excelled at tennis during his youth but ultimately decided to play rugby. Although he was initially considered too small to be a flanker, he quickly proved his doubters wrong.His playing career began in 1967, when he started to represent TOEC during his early teens. He then stayed with the club until 1972, when he joined Stade Beaumontois.Following his stint with Stade Beaumontois, Jean-Pierre Rives was given the chance to join his hometown club of Toulouse, He immediately impressed, and after only a year with the side, he was handed his debut for France at the age of 22. After several successful years, Jean-Pierre Rives then left Toulouse in 1981 and finished his career with Racing Club de France, who he represented until 1986. Between 1975 and 1984, Jean-Pierre Rives was a giant of French rugby and reached the very top of the game. As well as appearing 59 times for his country and captaining them on 34 occasions, he also won multiple Five Nations Grand Slam titles. Due to his wild blonde hair and his bravery, he became known affectionately as Asterix. Across the world, he was regarded as a legend, an icon, and a blood-stained hero. Since retiring from rugby in 1986, Jean-Pierre Rives has focused on his art, which has been a passion since childhood. He now exhibits regularly at public venues around the world.Jean-Pierre Rives was inducted into the Rugby Hall of Fame in 2021.JPR's spirit is still with us as well as his soul. It is with great emotion that I write to you. I think of Scilla and all the family. I'm thinking of him, I'm thinking of you.- Jean-Pierre Rives, 2025Additional playing days images courtesy of Colorsport (Copyright)
