Removed from St Peter’s Port, GuernseyJohn Bedford of William Bedford was one of the major dealers in antique furniture in London in the 1970s and for the next 35 years dominated his corner of the trade.The business was started in the 1960s simply to help his brother William recover from an illness, with a small stall in the Kensington Antiques Hypermarket selling antique glass, while John continued in his role as company secretary at Smith’s Industries.Buying was fitted in at the weekends and evenings by John around other commitments.After a relatively short time it was found that the furniture used on the stand for display purposes sold more profitably than the glass and a decision was made to take a much larger premises in Upper Street, Islington, and concentrate on period furniture.John now took up the full-time role of running an antiques business with the skills and approach of a ‘true businessman’, driving the operation forward into what would become one of the first publicly quoted antiques businesses on the stock exchange.It operated out of the 15,000sq ft of The Merchants Hall in Islington.Dealers from across the world would find this often became a one-stop shop for their purchases, allowing them to shorten buying trips to the UK often by weeks.John was always a kind, cultured and generous man with wide-ranging interests from motor racing to building one of the finest private libraries in the world covering cabinet-makers and furniture designers to the brass-makers of Birmingham.

Fred Kormis (1897-1986) A relief bronze plaque commemorating the 1939 opening of the High Duty Alloys factory at Redditch, depicting pioneers of aviation, aircraft design and production, 17 cm x 22 cm [During the Second World War the factory produced the majority of Britain's aero-engine pistons, producing over ten million components, including the V-shaped spars that held the bouncing bombs used during the Dambusters raid. Kormis was born in Frankfurt, in 1897, and, in 1910, became an apprentice in a sculptor's workshop. He served in the Austrian army in the First World War, becoming a prisoner of war in Siberia in 1915. When Hitler came to power Kormis, as a Jew, was banned from working. He moved to Holland and had exhibitions in Amsterdam and the Hague, and, in 1934, came to England, and had his first exhibition in London. In 1940, his studio was bombed and the bulk of his work up to that time was lost. As a result of his experiences, much of his work is memorials to prisoners of war, and to the Holocaust. Kormis develped a reputation as a medalist, producing medallions such as the one of Winston Churchill commissioned in 1941 by Hodder and Stoughton to illustrate the jacket of Churchill biography and now in the Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge. Bronze portrait medallions by Kormis held at the British Museum include portraits of King Haakon of Norway, John Winant, General Sikorski, Lord Mountbatten and others.]
