Y A GEORGE III KINGWOOD, AMARANTH, TULIPWOOD PARQUETRY AND LACQUERED GILT BRONZE MOUNTED BUREAU PLAT PROBABLY BY AN EMIGRE CRAFTSMAN IN THE MANNER OF PHILIPPE-CLAUDE MONTIGNY AND RENE DUBOIS, LAST QUARTER 18TH CENTURY The gilt-brass banded rectangular top inset with a gilt-tooled blue leather writing surface, above a panelled frieze inlaid with Greek-key motif with two frieze drawers centred by masks headed by acanthus flanked by rosettes and opposing false drawers, with lateral writing slides, the lower border with a ribbon-twist mount, the brass reeded incut square tapering legs headed by laurel swags with square sabots terminating in castors, with a paper label to the pine panelling to underside inscribed in ink 'Brynkinalt RM' 72.5cm high, 122cm wide, 63cm deep Provenance: Possibly supplied to Arthur Hill-Trevor, 2nd Viscount Dungannon (1763-1837) or acquired by Arthur Hill-Trevor, 3rd Viscount Dungannon (1798 - 1862) for 3 Grafton Street, London, thence by descent at Brynkinalt Hall, Denbighshire until sold, Of Royal And Noble Descent; Sotheby's, London, 19 January 2017, lot 382, where acquired by present owner. Although this sophisticated desk, with its 'Etruscan' decoration and interlaced key frieze, has the outward appearance of a French bureau à la grec, a number of constructional idiosyncrasies help to identify it as an unusual example of English craftsmanship. Until recently the bureau plat formed part of the resplendent Hill-Trevor collections at Brynkinalt Hall in Denbighshire and is most likely the output of an émigré ébéniste working in London in the last quarter of the 18th century. London had long tradition of attracting émigré craftsman with the perpetual cycle of European political and religious turbulence of the 17th and 18th centuries spurring their arrival. The lure of the capital reached new heights following the favourable conclusion of The Seven Years' War (1756-1763), a pan-European conflict which did little to dampen the appetite for French fashions in Britain. The maker of the present bureau plat would certainly have had excellent knowledge of French workshop practices and prototypes, namely the output of the celebrated Parisian cabinet-makers Phillippe-Claude Montigny (1734-1800) and René Dubois (1737-1799). The goût grec style swept to popularity in France from the mid-1750s with the celebrated suite of furniture supplied for the collector and financier Ange-Laurent Lalive de Jully. Veneered in kingwood, amaranth and tulipwood and decorated with rosette and laurel swag mounts, the Brynkinalt bureau plat closely follows a well-documented group of bureau à la grec by Montigny and Dubois. However, the Brynkinalt bureau plat diverges in several distinct ways which preclude the possibility of a French origin. Whereas French-made bureau plat use oak, the present desk employs pine in the construction. Further, the oak-lined drawers have front-to-back oak drawer bottoms, where French antecedents would have the grain running side-to-side. The dovetails, with the pronounced fan-shaped tails, are distinctly un-French and quite idiosyncratic being covered by a very thin veneer. The original locks are English, and the lacquered-gilt-brass banding to top, mounts, capping and castors (French models typically employ sabots without castors) all present as English derivatives or casts taken the originals. The presence of a distinctly English 'rococo' influenced ring-pulls to the writing slides further anglicises the French character of the present lot. Interestingly, an almost identical version of this model, sharing the same constructional traits but lacking brass reeding to the legs, is preserved in the collections of the Marquesses of Bute at Mount Stuart, Scotland. The Bute bureau plat is almost certainly from the same émigré workshop and points to a definitive group made for the most prominent families of the day. The present desk formed part of the collections of the Hill-Trevors at Brynkinalt Hall, Denbighshire, on the English-Welsh borders. The family fortune was built at first by Sir John Trevor (1637-1717), an unscrupulous lawyer-turned-politician, who twice held the position of Speaker of House of Commons before being unseated because of a bribery scandal involving the East India Company. He also served as Master of the Rolls 1685 to 1689 and from 1693 until his death in 1717. The financial gains Sir Trevor accrued in these prominent positions allowed him to acquire two London houses on St Clements Lane and Trevor Square, Knightsbridge. All four of his sons predeceased him and his estates, including Brynkinalt, passed to his daughter Anne who married Michael Hill of Hillsborough in Ireland.Arthur Hill, 1st Viscount Trevor (1694-1771), later Arthur Hill-Trevor, 1st Viscount Dungannon, was the second son and also pursued a political career, this time in Ireland as Chancellor of the Irish Exchequer and Commissioner of Irish Revenues. Arthur built Belvoir house in Ireland to designs of Christopher Myers in circa 1750. His son, the Hon. Arthur Hill Trevor (1738-1770), predeceased him also, making him an unlikely candidate for the acquisition of the present bureau plat. Instead, the Dungannon estates, including Belvoir and Brynkinalt, passed to Arthur Hill-Trevor, 2nd Viscount Dungannon (1763-1837) who inherited the title at the age of eight. In 1795, at the age of thirty-two, he married the Hon Charlotte Fitzroy, daughter of General Charles FitzRoy, 1st Baron Southampton (1737 -1797) and grand-daughter of Charles FitzRoy, 2nd Duke of Grafton (1683-1757), and consequently sold Belvoir Park choosing to live between No. 3 Grafton Street, London (built by the Augustus Henry FitzRoy, 3rd Duke of Grafton (1735-1811) to designs of Robert Taylor in 1767) and Brynkinalt Hall. It is conceivable to bureau-plat was acquired before or during this phase of ownership as the Viscountess was a woman of highly cultivated taste and oversaw the significant re-modelling of Brynkinalt which had not been altered since the early 18th century.

Registration No: VOF 378 Frame No: 010948 MOT: ExemptA very striking 1957 Triumph T110Always cared for and maintained by the current ownerRuns very well and starts easyOffered with V5C and old style logbookThe Triumph Tiger 110 is a British sports motorcycle that Triumph first made at their Coventry factory between 1953 and 1961. The T110 was developed from the Triumph Thunderbird and first appeared in 1954. Although it was supposed to be the sports model of the Triumph range, the Tiger 110 was later fitted with the rear panelling that was introduced with Triumph's 350cc 3TA twin in 1959. This Triumph T110 had only done 1,281 miles since 1982 when the vendor purchased it in 2019. Unfortunately, there is no history before 1982, except for the old buff logbook. The T110 has since been restored using quality British Triumph parts, including a top-end engine overhaul with 8.1 pistons instead of 9.1 due to the head being skimmed. The bottom end was in excellent condition and received an uprated oil pump. The oil pump was uprated and the magneto was refurbished along with a new carburettor. The restoration also included new fork stanchions and the front brake was rebuilt by Dick Hunt Racing. Attention was also paid to the clutch, front sprocket, chain, rear drum and bearings and shod with fresh tyres and a new font wheel with stainless spokes. It also benefitted from a new wiring harness and switches, cables, brake and clutch levers. Fresh Triumph Silver Grey and Black was applied, including transfers along with some re-chroming. The seat foam and cover were also renewed. The Triumph runs very well and is ready for its new owner for another summer. It is an excellent example of the model and comes complete with a V5C, sundry spares and some invoices for parts and work carried out.

Peter Waals, an English walnut secretaire, circa 1930 with short wavy rail, two short drawers above a fall-front with graduated panelling and decorative carved escutcheon, the well fitted interior with an arrangement of ten drawers surrounding a cupboard above a recess, with ebony pulls and holly and ebony stringing, above two further drawers between the lopers, and a central cupboard flanked by banks of two short deep drawers, stepped block feet, adorned with scrolled drawer pulls likely by Norman Bucknell, width 93cm, depth 41cm, height 144cm.Footnote:Commissioned by Arthur Mitchell of The Glenfall, Charlton Kings, one of the key patrons of the Cotswold Arts and Crafts movement, for his daughter Ruth on her wedding to Kenneth Cole. The Cole's first home was a large house in The Vale, Chelsea, before moving to Beech Hill Cottage, Hambledon, Surrey. This bureau, along with the dressing table in this auction, were inherited by direct descent.Condition report:In very good overall condition. There is a 6-inch split to the right hand side panel along the back edge, around the mid-point. There are also two small notches to the front right hand edge adjacent to the second from the bottom drawer. The lower central drawer to the interior has a split to the lower left hand edge and a slight split to the base plank which could do with some attention. Otherwise there are no splits or significant losses to the exterior or interior. All stringing is intact. The fall front hinges are still perfectly functional; all drawers run well and close neatly. There is a key that operates the fall-front lock and lower cupboard, and a smaller key for the internal cupboard. Some spot staining to the interior, with some drawer linings having ink staining. The exterior colour is fairly even, ultimately with some fading; the left hand lower side has some historic splash marks and there is a long white drip mark to the side of the foot which we take to be a substance on the surface, not a scratch. The leather skiver is ok, a little shrinkage to the top margin, but not heavily worn or scratched. The drawer pulls remain tightly inset and are all original. It remains a handsome example of Cotswold furniture, with strong family provenance.

A FINE AND PROVENANCED JAMES / CHARLES I SIX LEG OAK REFECTORY TABLE, HASELOUR HALL, STAFFORDSHIRE, EARLS OF DERBY, CIRCA 1620-1640. The rectangular top of two matched deep boards, above a frieze with stop-fluting to one long and both short sides, raised on six inverted baluster and cup-turned legs, each headed by original S-scroll and leaf-carved spandrels and joined by high plain stretchers, 299cm wide 89cm high 80cm deep Provenance - Haselour Hall, Harlaston Nr Tamworth, Staffordshire. Purchased in the 1980’s. Haselour Hall, originally in the possession of the Arderne family, passing to the Stanley family in 1413, upon the marriage of Sir Thomas Stanley (b. 1392) to the sole Arderne heiress, Matilda (b. 1396). The hall remained in the possession of the Stanley family until 1508, when John Stanley died without leaving a male heir. The manor of Haselour continued to be passed through the female line, to the families of Staunton, Smith and Huddleston, until in 1557 Lucy Huddleston married John Brooke. The hall remained in the Brooke Family until it was sold to Samuel Dilke in 1672, so ending the lineal descent from the Ardernes and Stanleys which had lasted for over 350 years. Haselour Hall is noted as the possible resting place of Henry, Earl of Richmond, upon his march from Lichfield to the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, where his victory over Richard III led to his accession to the throne as Henry VII. It is thought the present hall, although possibly retaining parts dating back to the Arderne ownership, may have been built by the Stanleys. Principally it dates from the 16th century. The half-timber building retains many Tudor features - including the layout without corridors, transomed windows, vast ancient fireplaces and refined oak panelling. The panelling of the old dining hall is especially fine. The chimneypiece in this room - which depicts the Battle of Hastings - is a splendid example of 16th Century oak carving. *CR Of excellent original rich dark colour and surface patination.

• Sold on behalf of a deceased estate • Completely restored In the Edwardian era, Lagonda concentrated mainly on the production of light cars before revertingto sporting and luxury models in the mid-1920’s with the introduction of the 14/60. Designed by Arthur Davidson, the two-litre, four-cylinder engine featured twin camshafts mounted high in the block and operated inclined valves in hemispherical combustion chambers. Power output of this advanced engine was a highly respectable 60bhp. For the 1929 racing season, a ‘low chassis’ Speed Model was introduced, featuring revisions to the chassis front end and a higher compression engine fitted with twin carburettors. The Speed Model had resulted from the factory’s Le Mans effort of 1928 when the 2.0 Litre, driven by André d'Erlanger and Douglas Hawkes finished 11th overall in the 24 Hour Endurance Classic. In 1930, a supercharged version was introduced with a ‘blower’ mounted vertically in front of the engine and fitted with a counterweighted crankshaft. A Powerplus supercharger was specified at first, but most ‘blown’ 2.0 Litres came with a Cozzette supercharger. Thus equipped, a ‘low chassis 2.0 Litre was capable of up to 90mph. This ‘Low Chassis’ 2.0 Litre was offered for sale in December 2001 at Bonhams Olympia auction where it was purchased by Mr. Simon Carrel. Originally one of the supercharger-equipped models, chassis number 'OH9859' retains its original and extremely rare fabric-covered four-door tourer coachwork, which has been preserved as part of a no expense-spared, 'ground upwards' restoration. This was carried out with the aim of producing a usable car, not a concours winner car. The restoration included boring and stroking the engine to approximately 2.4 litres and installing a new solid billet Allen crankshaft, new Cosworth con-rods and pistons, and high-lift camshafts. A new downdraft, crossflow cylinder head was specially cast (in iron) and gas flowed, and a pre-war Rootes-type Wade supercharger acquired. The engine has been bench tested and produced 148bhp. The supercharger's original position was vertical in front of the engine while the dynamo sat beneath the radiator protruding forward. It was discovered that the Wade blower would not fit in the 'correct' position but would fit under the radiator, so the positions of the dynamo and supercharger were swapped, making the Lagonda look a bit like a blown 4½ litre Bentley. The car came with an Alvis Speed 20 synchromesh gearbox fitted, which has been retained, while the clutch has been converted and is now a Borg & Beck unit. All corossion was removed from the bodywork, which was strengthened and re-covered in new fabric, while the interior received new leather seats and panelling. Proper Lucas P100 'Bulls Eyes' were sourced and installed, and all the chrome work re-plated. 'PL 6619' was restored with a view to vintage competitions and we are advised that all the modifications are VSCC accepted because they were possible in pre-war days. It is extremely fast, 0-60mph in under 11 seconds, very reliable and great fun. It has enormous torque and will pull up any hill in third gear and easily outperforms any standard 4½ litre Lagonda. Consigned by John Tomlin Interested parties should note that a new V5 registration document has been applied for from DVLA and is due shortly.

Significant history fileA rare and interesting exampleOver £30,000 spent by the vendor during his stewardshipBearing its original number plateThe Bentley S2, a luxurious British automobile from the early 1950s, is a prime example of the exquisite craftsmanship and refinement Bentley was known for during this era. The S2, introduced in 1955, marked a significant transition in Bentley’s history, as it was the first model to feature a V8 engine, replacing the previous straight-six engines. This shift allowed the Bentley S2 to offer both improved performance and a smoother driving experience, encapsulating the perfect blend of power and elegance that the marque was renowned for. One of the most distinguished aspects of the Bentley S2 was the work of H.J. Mulliner, the famed coachbuilder that was commissioned to design and build many bespoke bodies for Bentley and Rolls-Royce models during the mid-20th century. The collaboration between Bentley and H.J. Mulliner resulted in some of the most elegant and visually striking cars of the era. Mulliner was known for its attention to detail, and the bespoke bodywork of the Bentley S2 reflected this philosophy, with each car meticulously tailored to the specifications of the owner. The Mulliner-designed Bentley S2 was typically a two-door coupé or a four-door saloon, featuring exquisite hand-finished wood panelling, sumptuous leather upholstery, and intricate detailing both inside and out. The exterior was characterised by flowing, graceful lines, with a prominent front grille that proudly displayed the Bentley emblem. Mulliner’s craftsmanship also extended to the interior, where soft leather seats, polished wood veneers, and chrome accents adorned the cabin, elevating the driving experience to a level of opulence few could match. Performance-wise, the Bentley S2 was powered by a 6.2-litre V8 engine, which provided a smooth yet powerful driving experience. With around 200 horsepower, it could comfortably reach speeds over 100 mph, offering both comfort and performance in equal measure. The car’s advanced engineering also included improved suspension systems that ensured a smooth, quiet ride, no matter the road conditions.Offering charm and character in abundance, this Bentley S2 has had an interesting history. Originally registered on 13th January 1961 the chassis of this Continental was delivered to H.J. Mulliner on 12th September 1960. The two-door saloon body was painted in Mist Green and the car was trimmed with green leather upholstery. It still bears these colours today, the paintwork is largely original, the vendor being reluctant to paint the car as he is particularly fond of originality. Any new owner may choose to have the paintwork refreshed, the estimate reflecting this. The first owner, a Mr. Percy Levy from London N.W.3 specified some interesting extras on the car when he commissioned it. These include a sunroof, electric windows, electric aerial, combined parking/flashing lights, a fire extinguisher and a Bentley mascot. In addition to these a rear reading lamp to the nearside and a single headrest again to the nearside rear would indicate that this was a chauffeur driven car.Purchased by the vendor in 2017 for £265,000 from Royce Engineering. In 2019 he commissioned Royce Engineering to carry out extensive mechanical work, which included overhauling the front suspension and steering box, overhauling the brakes front and rear, replacement of the engine and exhaust mounts, overhauling the carburettors, supply and fit a new starter motor and carry out a major service. This work totalled £24,958.71 which was in addition to spending nearly £6,000 on the car in 2018 on interior and boot cosmetics. With invoices dating back to 1978 the comprehensive history folder makes for interesting reading. A copy of the original build sheets are in the file, showing the car was originally supplied by Jack Barclay Ltd. The Bentley S2 by H.J. Mulliner was not just a car; it was a statement of status and sophistication. The combination of Bentley’s engineering and Mulliner’s bespoke design meant that each S2 was a unique masterpiece, built to the specific desires of its owner. Today, these quintessentially British cars are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts, admired for their timeless beauty, craftsmanship, and performance. Consigned by Stewart Banks.
