Brother and sister were Mayor and Mayoress of Worcester from 1895 to 1896 and when, in 1899, Lord Beauchamp travelled to Australia to be governor of New South Wales she travelled with him and acted as his hostess. Lady Mary was a friend and promoter of the composer Edward Elgar and is commemorated anonymously in one of his Enigma Variations entitled 'Romanza (***)'. In addition she worked closely with many well-known musicians of the day: Sir Hubert Parry, Cecil Sharp, Sir Charles Villiers Stanford, Martin Shaw, Peter Warlock, to name but a few. She was the first Secretary of the English Folk Dance Society (founded 1911) and was for a time a collector of English folk dances. Trefusis Hall, in the English Folk Dance & Song Society's headquarters, Cecil Sharp House, is named after her. She directed a number of choirs and was the joint founder of the Association of Competitive Festivals in 1904 (Mary Wakefield was the other founder). As Lady of the Bedchamber to HM Queen Mary, Lady Mary accompanied the Queen on many State occasions. The diamond and pearl necklace, by Garrard, (lot 27) was given to her by her husband as a wedding present. Lady Mary may well have worn it, and other pieces of jewellery, when she accompanied the Princess of Wales (later Queen Mary) to the Coronation of King Haakon of Norway in 1905 and at the Coronation of George V in 1911.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A pair of miniature pinfire pistols, circa 1860, is in the collection of the V&A London, given by HM Queen Mary, accession number M.128-1939, M.129-1939. Also, in the V&A, is a very early pistol-shaped pendant, circa 1525-30, reputedly given to Anne Boleyn by Henry VIII, on loan from a private collection, accession number LOAN:MET ANON.1-1984.Miniature weapons, model cannons and intricate caskets with mechanically complex locks were made from the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Such masterpieces, probably made to impress clients, often ended up as prized collectibles in cabinets of curiosities. They were also worn on the body along with other hanging jewels. This pair of percussion cap miniature pistols date to the mid-19th century and were probably made in Liege, one of the most productive centres for firearms of all sorts for many centuries. The powder-flask and tongs were most likely from the same source. Full-size versions are carried in the pocket and are referred to as pocket pistols. For further information, please see: John S. Cooper, Belgian Miniature Firearms Of The Nineteenth Century, 1996Although unsigned, this bangle is cased by Phillips Brothers, the prominent and inventive British jeweller working in the fashionable revivalist style. The firm produced jewels in ancient Greek, Roman, Scandinavian, Byzantine, Renaissance, Assyrian, Indian and Egyptian taste as well as mounting engraved gems for customers in the tradition of 19th century Italian jewellers.It was most probably a unique commission, full of meaning and symbolism for the wearer and was perhaps an elaborate love token, loaded with emotion. Although the pistols may be fired, they were not meant to be!For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Hallmarked Silver Presentation Pocket Watch of Lieutenant James Dundas VC Royal Engineers Awarded the Victoria Cross for Gallantry on 30th April 1865 During the Bhutan War, with white enamel dial having a small subsidiary dial. Case is hallmarked for London 1865. Lightly engraved to the rear of the case is “Lieut James Dundas Royal Engineers April 30th 1865 For Valour”. Watch is not in working order. James Dundas was born in Edinburgh on 10th September 1842. In 1860 he was given a officers commission in the Royal Engineers. In 1862 he embarked for India with the Royal Engineers under General Henry Tombs VC. During his time in India he rose to level of Executive Engineer. At the time of his award of the Victoria Cross, he was serving with the Bengal Engineers, Indian Army, during the Bhutan war. The award of the Victoria Cross was a joint award with Major William Spottiswoode Trevor, the recommendation was as follows, “For their gallant conduct at the attack on the Block-house at Dewan-Giri, in Bhootan, on the 30th of April, 1865. Major-General Tombs, C.B., V.C., the Officer in command at the time, reports that a party of the enemy, from 180 to 200 in number, had barricaded themselves in the Block-house in question, which they continued to defend after the rest of the position had been carried, and the main body was in retreat. The Block-house, which was loop-holed, was the key of the enemy's position. Seeing no Officer of the storming party near him, and being anxious that the place should be taken immediately, as any protracted resistance might have caused the main body of the Bhooteas to rally, the British force having been fighting in a broiling sun on very steep and difficult ground for upwards of three hours, the General in command ordered these two Officers to show the way into the Block-house. They had to climb up a wall which was 14 feet high, and then to enter a house, occupied by some 200 desperate men, head foremost through an opening not more than two feet wide between the top of the wall and the roof of the Block-house. Major-General Tombs states that on speaking to the Sikh soldiers around him, and telling them in Hindoostani to swarm up the wall, none of them responded to the call, until these two Officers had shewn them the way, when they followed with the greatest alacrity. Both of them were wounded. Dundas fought on despite his wounds and convinced the 200 to surrender. He recovered from his wounds 3 months in a hospital”. His Victoria Cross was awarded to him in Calcutta by Major General C F Fordyce on behalf of Queen Victoria. James Dundas remained in the army and served during the Second Anglo-Afghan war, 23 December 1879 during the Siege of the Sherpur Cantonment. He was killed by a British mine going off prematurely due to a makeshift fuse. He is buried nearby at the Seah Sang Cemetery in Afghanistan. In 2002 the Royal Engineers erected a new bridge in Afghanistan close to where he met his fate and named it the James Dundas Bridge. His Victoria Cross forms part of the Lord Ashcroft collection
