the oval painting depicting Eugénie as a young woman with a blue ribband in her auburn hair, pale grey blue eyes, a three row pearl necklace, and lace fichu at her nape, in a glazed frame with pierced border of round faceted pastes and beaded edging; verso with a glazed panel over dark brown felt, and applied monogram of a crown surmounting a capital E entwined with another reversed; later hinged bale, tapered with raised beaded edges; length with bale 5.6cm, length of portrait 3.2cm; unmarked, surround tested as 9ct gold, settings tested as silver and bale tested as 18ct gold, presented in a period oval leather caseFootnote: Provenance: A wedding present to the vendor's great grandmother by her great great grandfather, Sir John Baker (1828-1909), MP for Portsmouth, Hampshire. Doña María Eugenia Ignacia Agustina de Palafox y Kirkpatrick, 16th Countess of Teba, 15th Marchioness of Ardales, known as Eugénie de Montijo, was born in Spain in 1826, but spent her later childhood in Paris, returning to Spain in her early teens. She had some formal education in France, but also English governesses and briefly attended school in Bristol (where she was teased for her red hair). Her principal interests were in various sports and politics. She met Charles-Louis Napoléon Bonaparte (nephew of Napoleon I) in Paris when he was the first President of France after the revolution of 1848. By the time of their wedding in 1853, he had been made Emperor as Napoleon III; thus she became Empress. During this period France underwent considerable social and economic reform, with improved infrastructure and the re-designing of Paris under Baron Haussmann. Foreign policy was more mixed, with success in the Crimean War and expansion in Asia, but also with unfortunate meddling in Mexico and a disastrous facing of Bismarck in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. As Empress, Eugénie was politically active. She travelled to the Ottoman Empire and to Cairo to open the Suez canal, promoted female education and acted as Regent in her husband's absences - including the Franco-Prussian War when he was with his troops at the front. Napoleon was captured, deposed, and eventually joined Eugénie in exile in England (Farnborough, Hampshire), where she lived on after his death in 1873, socially vibrant but politically quiet, until her own death in 1920. There exist a great many portraits of the Empress Eugénie, both photographic and painted (including by Winterhalter, one of Queen Victoria's portraitists); they all show her unusually straight eyebrows and distinctive nose and eyes, and many show her wearing ropes of pearls (she was famous for her jewellery), just as in the present example.

watercolour on ivory; the seated Duchess with long curling brown hair adorned with a circular clip, dressed in a fur edged dress and wearing a delicate necklace, the oval gilded scroll edged frame with engraved decoration, 'CAB' initial monogram under a coronet to the top, verso with an oval shaped glazed compartment with a lock of woven brown hair, concealed bale, length 15cm, width 13cm, with simple integral A frame stand and presented in the original fitted case with associated documentationFootnote: Provenance: By direct descent to the current vendor Charlotte Anne Thynne (1811-1895) married Walter Francis Montague Douglas Scott, 5th Duke of Buccleuch, on 13th March 1829. He commissioned a painting of his wife along with this miniature, which was presented to Miss Augusta Emma d'Este (later The Rt Hon Lady Truro), a great friend of Charlotte's. Miss d'Este was the daughter of Lady Augusta De Ameland and the Duke of Sussex, the sixth son of King George III. On her death, Lady Truro bequeathed the miniature to Lady Victoria Alexandrina Montague Douglas Scott, eldest daughter of Walter and Charlotte. The extract from Lady Truro's will, which accompanies this lot, reads; 'I bequeath to the right honourable the Lady Victoria being the eldest daughter of the present Duke of Buccleuch the miniature of her mother the Duchess of Buccleuch.....which was given to me by the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch' In 1841, Charlotte succeeded the Duchess of Sutherland as mistress of the robes to Queen Victoria. Charlotte and the Queen were lifelong friends with the monarch describing the Duchess as "an agreeable, sensible, clever little person." The Duke and Duchess entertained the Queen and Prince Albert on their visits to their home in Dalkeith, Scotland. Queen Victoria was godmother to the Duchess' eldest daughter, Victoria Alexandrina, who was christened at Buckingham Palace in April 1845. Robert Thorburn (1818-1885), was born in Dumfries, Scotland, and it was with the support of the Duke and Duchess that he was able to move to London in 1836, aged just 15, to study at the Royal Academy turning almost exclusively to miniature painting The Duke commissioned him to paint several portraits of the Duchess, and Thorburn became well known amongst the Royal circle as a portrait miniature painter, with Queen Victoria commissioning a number of sittings. She was impressed by his '… splendid miniatures, with such depth of colouring & such power as I have never before seen in a miniature' (Journal, 23 February 1844). Thorburn produced very large miniatures by experimenting with new techniques and cutting slices of ivory from the circumference of the tusk, which were then laid flat under intense pressure. Although no other account of his life makes mention of it, Queen Victoria described him as 'a young Scotchman, of great talent, who studied for two winters in Italy' (Journal, 23 February 1844). Although the portrait is unsigned, it is very probable, given its background and ownership, that this was painted by Thorburn. Text adapted from Victoria & Albert: Art & Love, London, 2010

She was one of eight bridesmaids at the wedding of Edward, Prince of Wales, and Princess Alexandra, daughter of the King of Denmark, which took place on 10th March 1863 in St George's chapel at Windsor Castle. Princess Alexandra's wedding dress was the first in British royal history to be photographed whilst being worn. She married Schomberg Henry Kerr, 9th Marquess of Lothian on the 23rd February 1865, and the locket, gifted to her by Queen Victoria who was a great friend of her mother, Charlotte, Duchess of Buccleuch, would have been a lasting memento of this occasion.

Born on November 7th 1876, this jewel was gifted by Queen Victoria to the young Lady Victoria to whom she was godmother, as a christening present. The young Lady Victoria's mother, Lady Victoria Montagu-Douglas-Scott, was herself christened in Buckingham Palace in 1845 and was also god daughter to the Queen. She went on to marry, in November 1903, William Sullivan Gosling, a British Army Office and footballer, who competed as a member of Upton Park football team in the 1900 Paris Olympic Games, winning a gold medal. They had 4 sons.

Gill & Son, 78 Union Street, Aberdeen', verso decorated with a scallop edged blue guilloché enamel section set with a flower head cluster of rose cut diamonds within a gold scrolling border, outer and edge decorated with foliate engraving, gross weight 42.1gFootnote: David Gill senior was a well-known watch and clockmaker and retailer with premises in Union Street, Aberdeen's principal thoroughfare. It was David Gill’s son, however, who became one of Scotland’s most famous people. Gill junior was interested in 'time', but even more interested in astronomy. He was made junior partner in the firm in 1863 and at the same time became involved in setting up the Cromwell Tower observatory in Aberdeen. Combining horology and astronomy, the firm of D Gill & Son supplied the observatory with the master clock which was regulated by reference to the prime standard of the stars. He inherited the clock & watchmaking business from his father after his death, but kept it only a few years before pursuing his main interest as an astronomer. He became Her Majesty's Astronomer at the Cape of Good Hope and went on to be the only Scot to have been awarded the Bruce Medal for lifetime achievement in astronomy, the Watson medal for outstanding astronomy and the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society twice. He was knighted KCB by Queen Victoria in 1900. He retired to London, joining the council of the Royal Geographic Society, becoming president of the Royal Astronomical Society and the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Few British scientists of the 20th Century have been so widely honoured and so well respected as Sir David Gill, Scotland’s most notable astronomer, and his portrait hangs in the Royal Astronomical Society and in the Royal Society of London.
