A pair of lapis lazuli and gilt bronze mounted obelisks by Asprey, modern, of square section and tapering form, each obelisk supported on four tortoises, above square section plinths with stepped bases, 20cm high, 5.5cm square at the bases, with an Asprey card box The choice of the tortoise as a zoomorphic support for an obelisk is possibly a strange one, but in one of the earliest examples of their use, in two obelisks in the Piazza Santa Maria Novella in Florence it has been suggested that their use at least had some symbolism. The obelisks there were set up on the order of Grand Duke Cosimo I de Medici (1519 ~ 74), who in his appreciation of, and attempts to emulate the glory of ancient Rome initiated the Palio dei Cocchi in 1563. This chariot race took place in the piazza and required two obelisks as turning posts at each end, so the use of tortoises probably signified the point where the chariots would be at their slowest.

Bianchini Lodovico. Della scienza del ben vivere sociale e della economia degli stati parte storica e di preliminari dottrine. Palermo: Dalla stamperia di Francesco Lao, 1845.Two works in one volume. 4° (260x160 mm). XVI, 508; XII, 404 pages. Light foxing, stains and soiled on the title page of the first work. Contemporary half morocco, blue percaline on the covers, gilt title on lettering piece on the spine, edges speckled blue. Covers abrased. Gilt monogram on the spine 'L.T.' I works: First and rare edition of this historical part of the great work of the economist Lodovico bianchini, which will be completed, indipendently, by the homonym edition of the 1855, bound togheter in this copy. The writing lists and examines the authors of Political Economy from ancient times to his days and the author proposes the 'genovesiano' approach to the political theory, aims to combine the happy life and public happiness; as Genovesi like Serra, Galiani and Verri, is praised in a controversy optic with English and French liberalism schools. Unfortunately for the author the economy had grown, but not in the direction desired by him: the political economy of those who made profession of liberalism and praised the market automatism - as the criticated Smith, Ricardo and Say - little or nothing had in common with the civil economy of those who had cultivated - as Genovesi - a normative science in the name of an enlightened dirigisme. Einaudi, 482; Kress Italian, 1129. II works: Second edition.LEGATO CON: Id. Principî della scienza del ben vivere sociale e della economia pubblica e degli stati...Seconda edizione. Napoli: dalla Stamperia reale, 1855. Due opere in un volume in-4° (mm 260x160). Pagine XVI, 508; XII, 404. Lievi arrossature, aloni e tracce di polvere all'occhietto e al frontespizio della prima opera. Legatura coeva in mezzo marocchino, percallina blu ai piatti, titoli in oro su tassello al dorso, tagli spruzzati in azzurro. Abrasioni agli angoli e ai bordi dei piatti. Al dorso monogramma in oro 'L.T.'. I opera: Prima e rara edizione della parte storica della grande opera dell'economista Lodovico Bianchini, che verrà completata, in maniera autonoma, dall'omonima edizione del 1855, legata di seguito in questo esemplare. Il trattato elenca ed esamina gli autori di economia politica dall'antichità ai suoi giorni e in esso l'Autore ripropone l'approccio genovesiano alla teorizzazione politica, volta a coniugare la vita felice e la felicità pubblica; proprio Genovesi con Serra, Galiani e Verri, viene lodato in ottica polemica con le scuole liberiste inglesi e francesi. Purtroppo per l'Autore però l'economia era sì cresciuta, ma non nella direzione da lui auspicata: l'economia politica di chi faceva professione di liberismo ed esaltava gli automatismi di mercato - propria dei criticati Smith, Ricardo e Say - poco o niente aveva infatti in comune con l'economia civile di coloro che avevano coltivato - era segnatamente il caso di Genovesi - una scienza normativa all'insegna di un dirigismo illuminato. Einaudi, 482; Kress Italian, 1129. II opera: Seconda edizione dello stesso testo.

Louis William Wain [1860-1939]-Mrs Tabby's Academy:-signed bottom rightwatercolour, pen and ink on paper35.5 x 50cm.* Biography Born in Clerkenwell in London on 5th August 1860 to an English father and French mother, Wain was one of six children and the only boy. He did not attend school until he was ten and often played truant. In his late teens, Wain attended the West London School of Art and eventually became a teacher at the school.Louis Wain decided to strike out on his own and became a freelance artist. His speciality was drawing animals and rural subjects in which he became extremely successful and worked for journals such as Illustrated London News and Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News. In 1883 Wain married Emily Richardson, his sisters' governess. Richardson was ten years older than Louis and this caused quite a scandal. She suffered from breast cancer and during this illness she was comforted by their pet cat Peter, who Louis would sketch. Emily died three years later and it is this sad episode that was to define the rest of the illustrator's career. He continued sketching cats and his first drawing of anthropomorphised cats was published in an Illustrated London News Christmas issue in 1886. His cats would parody humans while he satirised fashion and popular trends of the day. In his early years, the cats generally remained on all fours and were much more naturalistic in their poses; it was only later in his career that he produced cats walking upright with wide eyes and broad smiles, also wearing clothing. Despite his phenomenal output in both postcards, sketches and book illustrations, his mental state was frail and in 1924 he was committed to a pauper ward of Springfield Mental Hospital suffering from schizophrenia. He remained in several different institutions, although he carried on sketching cats for pleasure right up until his death in 1939. * Provenance. With The Parkin Gallery, 1988, where sold for £1750

* ALLY THOMPSON (1955 - 2016), UNTITLED oil on canvas 152cm x 91cm Framed. Note: Lots 51 - 117 are the contents of the studio of Ally Thompson. ALLY (Alasdair Neil Renwick) Thompson, was a Scottish painter of the New Glasgow Boys generation alongside Peter Howson, Ken Currie, Adrian Wisniewski and the late Steven Campbell. Born in Glasgow, he studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1975 to 1980, gaining a B.A. First Class Honours in Fine Art, and a diploma in postgraduate studies with high commendation and a travelling scholarship. In 1989, a solo exhibition of his work at the Barbizon Gallery (Glasgow) was visited by the international art promoter Norbert Binotti, who then brought Thompson to international prominence with a one-man show in New York and major exhibitions in Paris. Ally lived and worked periodically in Provence in the 1990s. He subsequently steadily consolidated his international reputation with exhibitions in Britain, Europe and North America, appearing in galleries such as Flowers East in London and Gallery Albert 1er in Paris. A close friend of Peter Howson, with whom he was a fellow student at the Glasgow School of Art, both men and their work were almost equally unknown when they shared one of their first exhibitions, a two-man show at the Art School itself in 1984. Ally Thompson was naturally shy in new company rather than a bold and forthright salesman of his own work. He painted in several distinctly different styles, from surrealist to abstract to expressionist landscape and much in between, making him hard to categorise and package for promoters and critics. Visiting his studio in the early 1980s Alec Mather, a successful Lanarkshire businessman, was one of the first of several almost surrogate father figures in Thompson's life. He offered to pay Ally twice what he was asking for one his paintings on condition that the young artist gave up his day job as a school teacher. Thompson never looked back creatively. Alec Mather remained a friend, patron and supporter for the rest of the artist's life. Outside of Scotland, through the friendship and support of Norbert Binotti and (after his untimely death) Norbert's brother Claude, Thompson found an invigorating new audience for his work in New York, Paris and the South of France. For all his non-materialist philosophy, Thompson was not above a bit of name-dropping on occasion, and like any Glaswegian boy Ally was suitably astonished to sometimes find himself in the company (and painting collections of) the likes of Bob Geldof, Petula Clark, Richard Jobson, Picasso's son Claude and even France's President Mitterand.

SIMON DUBOIS (1632-1708) PORTRAIT OF JOHN SOMERS, BARON SOMERS (1651-1716) Quarter length, wearing a dark green coat (or banyan) with striped sleeves and a lace jabot, within a painted oval, oil on canvas 75.5 x 63cm. Provenance: Lawrences, April 27th, 1987, lot 157; and also October 14th, 2011, lot 2844. * Somers was a lawyer and a Whig politician who served as an MP from 1689-1693, was a Keeper of the Great Seal, a Privy Counsellor and was appointed Lord Chancellor in 1697. He became President of the Royal Society in 1698, a year after his ennoblement and was a keen collector of prints and drawings. He died unmarried and without issue. The title descended through the grandson of Somers' sister, Mary. The portrait was traditionally ascribed to Sir Godfrey Kneller and identified (incorrectly) as Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond (1672-1723). Kneller did paint Somers, c.1715-16, as part of his Kit-Cat series (National Portrait Gallery).
SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE, PRA (1769-1830) PORTRAIT OF A GENTLEMAN, BELIEVED TO BE PHILIP JOHN MILES, MP (1773-1845) Bust length, wearing a dark coat, white neckcloth and winged stock, oil on canvas 74.5 x 62cm. * Miles was a notable Bristol figure, a very wealthy businessman and parliamentarian who was apparently Bristol's first recorded millionaire and a partner in the Miles Bank (that later merged with Nat West). Miles owned Leigh Court and Kings Weston estates on both banks of the River Avon in Bristol and also the Manor or Walton in Gordano, Clevedon as well as many more lands in the Bristol area. Lawrence himself was born in Bristol in 1769: the family lived in Redcross Street until Thomas Lawrence Senior took over the running of a coffee house and inn on Broad Street. This portrait may be dated to c.1815-1820. The sitter would appear perhaps to be in his forties. The only other known image of Miles is believed to be a small unascribed mezzotint portrait, published in 1822. Miles was a great friend of Richard Hart Davis (1766-1842), another Bristol born merchant and banker, who was also painted by Lawrence in 1815. Philip John Miles was also a friend of Richard Hart Davis and in 1813 he purchased his famous Old Masters art collection which became the nucleus of the celebrated Leigh Court Collection, dispersed in 1899. Provenance: By descent in the family of the sitter until sold with other family portraits at auction in 2014, where purchased by the present owner. ++ Old lining; a little scattered retouching
SIR FRANK BERNARD DICKSEE, PRA (1853-1928) PORTRAIT OF VIOLET MARY FRANCES STUART, LADY PAGE WOOD Signed and dated 1916, oil on canvas 100 x 84cm. * The sitter, born Violet Stuart Johnson (1875-1956), was the daughter of a prison governor, Henry Stuart Johnson. Violet married Sir John Page Wood, 5th Baronet, in 1906 but was widowed in 1912. Toll suggests that it is likely that the commission for this regal portrait arose through Margaret, Lady Brooke, The Ranee of Sarawak, who was Violet's aunt by marriage. Exhibited: London, The Royal Academy, 1916, no.428 (as `Lady Wood`) Literature: Simon Toll, Frank Dicksee 1853-1928: His Art and Life (Woodbridge, 2017) Provenance: By descent in the family to Sir Anthony Page Wood, Bt.; Private Collection ++ Unlined; good condition; a little scattered retouching
