Registration No: USU 879 Chassis No: B25KU MOT: ExemptSupplied new to C.J. Dawson Esq. of ClaphamA very handsome post vintage sports saloonMuch expenditure during the 1990sStarts with ease and running very wellBy the mid-1930s, there was something of a horsepower war going on among the top British car manufacturers. With the advent of high-speed Continental roads such as Italy's autostradas and Germany's autobahns, the race was on to build a sports saloon that could crack the magic 100mph barrier. Thus, Alvis released first the 3.5 Litre and then the 4.3 Litre, Lagonda evolved the M45 into the more powerful LG45 and Bentley gave its customers the option of a larger 4¼ Litre engine during the 1936 season. A derivative of that fitted to the Rolls-Royce 25/30 the 4257cc OHV straight-six unit was suitably reworked gaining twin SU carburettors and a wilder camshaft in the process. Priced at £50, a comparatively small sum compared to the cost of a basic chassis, it proved so popular that the standard 3½ Litre powerplant was soon dropped. Nicely balanced to begin with, the Derby Bentley chassis was more than capable of handling the extra power and torque. Equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension, assisted drum brakes, a precise four-speed manual gearbox and worm and nut steering, its poise and responsiveness proved more than a match for many peers. Effectively the in-house coachbuilder to Rolls-Royce and Bentley, Park Ward crafted a new four-light saloon design for the latter’s 4¼ Litre model which utilised a metal rather than wooden support frame for its outer panelling. Lighter, stiffer and stronger than previous bodies, the all-steel structure also proved more durable. First registered as ‘EGJ 57’ and supplied new to C.J. Dawson Esq of Kings Avenue, Clapham, this particular 4¼ Litre Park Ward Saloon then belonged to A.D. Whitworth Esq. of The Connaught Club and W. Beaumont Esq of Huddersfield. Seemingly taken off the road for a while or perhaps resident overseas, the Bentley was re-registered with the DVLA as ‘USU 879’ during March 1990. Belonging to Jon Radgick Esq at the time, he had had the four-seater prepared for that year’s London to Peking Motor Challenge by V&R Autos of Finchley until an errant conrod prompted its withdrawal. Entrusted to PCW of Nottingham in early 1991, the engine was reportedly overhauled with a reground crankshaft, new clutch, replacement liners, fresh pistons and new conrods etc. The cylinder head was gas flowed in accordance with advice from Fiennes Engineering and the recirculating masses balanced. Bruce Young Coachworks of Weybridge installed a new headlining the following year with the exterior brightwork being refurbished too. The subject of a bare metal repaint in its current Burgundy over Claret colour scheme, the Bentley also benefited from a braking system upgrade. Previously fitted with overdrive for improved high-speed cruising, the 4¼ Litre Park Ward Saloon changed hands several times thereafter. Entered from a deceased estate, ‘USU 879’ has not seen much use of late but started readily for our photography session. Presenting as a well-preserved older restoration, it remains a very elegant Post Vintage Thoroughbred. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and paperwork file.

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. Condition Report: Overall there are some scratches, marks, chips, cracks and abrasions consistent with age and use.Observations include: the leather to the top has a different gilt tool edging and is either different to the leather on the sliding ends or is faded; the leather to the top also has cracks along the underlying constructions joints; some ormolu mounts are slightly loose eg the edging to to the top of the desk, one of the swags (with a later screw), some of the ribbon edging has vacant holes from missing pins, one brass inlay to one leg is sprung; it is not possible to remove the right frieze drawer as there is a fixed peg/screw preventing it from sliding out; there are two keys that operate the two different locks that suggest one is a later replacement; there is some evidence of old worm; some fading to the back.The Greek key parquetry and ormolu mounts to all sides.Please see all the additional condition report photographs through the link on the condition report email as a visual reference of condition - they are a vital part of this report.

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.
