A large vintage signed 16 x 21 photogravure by artist Archibald Stuart-Wortley, the image depicting Grace standing in a full length pose, with his cricket bat slightly raised, at the crease at Lord's Ground. Grace wears his MCC cap and the old tennis court can be seen in the background. Printed in Berlin and published by Messrs. Manson, Swann and Morgan of Newcastle upon Tyne, 1st May 1891. Signed by Grace in bold pencil with his name alone to the lower border and also signed in pencil by the artist A. Stuart Wortley alongside a remarque of a cricket ball. Matted in pale green and framed and glazed in the original wooden frame to an overall size of 26 x 32. Some light creasing and minor staining, only very slightly affecting Grace's signature. The slightly irregularly cut mount may hide further defects (not inspected out of the frame). About VGArchibald Stuart-Wortley (1849-1905) Portrait Painter, a pupil of Millais. The present photogravure was reproduced in a limited edition of 200 from a large oil painting by Stuart-Wortley which was commissioned by the MCC in 1888-90 and funded by subscriptions.Interestingly, a vintage printed label is tied to the verso of the frame and originates from the Harrods Depository in Barnes and bears the name of Sir Stanley Jackson and the date 18th June 1946. From this it may be safe to presume that the photogravure of Grace was previously owned by Sir Francis Stanley Jackson (1870-1947) English Cricketer and Politician who captained England in five Test matches in 1905, retaining the Ashes.

An important ivory carved Chao ZhuChina, Qing dynasty, possibly Qianlong period, 18th century Made up of 108 beads, divided into groups of 27 by four fotou (Buddah heads). All in finely carved ivory and pigmented in green except for the Buddah heads, which are in coral red. The chaozhu is a Rosary, based on the model of the Buddhist ones, which was introduced in official ceremonies of the Qin dynasty emperors, as stated in the code “Illustrated Regulations for the Cerimonial Paraphernalia in the Qing dynasty” by Huangchao Iiqi tushi. According to this text, the most precious material for the production of this kind of court necklaces were the oriental pearls (cf. the imperial necklace sold by Sotheby’s Hong Kong during the auction Fine Ceramics and Works of Art on April 8, 2010, lot 1813), but they exist in other materials as well, the fundamental aspect being that they adhered the instructions of the abovementioned code, regulating the number of beads, the fact that the Buddha heads had to be in another color or material than the rest of the necklace, the two extensions etc. The importance of this kind of court object is clear in a Yongzheng portrait, now at the Palace Museum of Beijing, in which the emperor is depicted wearing a pearl made Chao Zhu.Cm 114,00 22.00 % buyer's premium on the hammer priceVAT margin scheme, VAT included, but not indicated
