AN OAK AND IRON-BOUND CHEST POSSIBLY 14TH CENTURY With a slightly domed hinged lid and iron fixings and loops to the ends, some of the strapwork with punched decoration 58cm high; 202cm wide, 59cm deep The chest bears comparison with the Richard de Bury chest held in the Burrell Collection, Glasgow and illustrated in Victor Chinnery, Oak Furniture The British Tradition, Woodbridge, 1986, p.105, fig.2:107, and pl.8. The latter is remarkable for it's surviving, albeit incomplete painted decoration of heraldic shields which infer ownership or patronage of Richard D'Aungerville de Bury, Bishop of Durham (d.1345) and his associate Ralph, 2nd Lord Nevill of Raby (d.1367). While the present lot is devoid of paintwork, the iron strapwork show similarities with the de Bury chest, notably the bifurcated terminals of some straps, and the original twisted iron loops (handles) to the ends which enabled the chest to be carried on a stout pole. The two chests are also of comparable size. The de Bury chest is possibly associated with an occasion in April 1340 when de Bury and Nevill were appointed with others to travel to York to arrange tax collections and payments to the King's army in the North. Such chests, referred to in inventories as standards, were generally used as safe depositories for valuables and documents, possibly also in the case of the de Bury chest for the banners and other necessities of the commissioners and might also have acted as their treasury. Condition Report: Clumped chest with original iron work. Some iron work deteriorating and separating from the timbers and strapping lacking, some damage and loses to the corners and the base of the chest and the ends of the lid. Lacking lock.

λ SIDNEY NOLAN (AUSTRALIAN 1917-1992) INFERNO II Screenprint in colours, 1967, signed in pencil, numbered 10/70, on wove paper, with full margins 75.5 x 60.9cm (29½ x 23¾ in.)Sidney Nolan is an important Australian artist whose Surreal style interprets the inherent histories and mythologies of his native homeland.

He was awarded the Order of Merrit in 1983, and his works are held in the Tate Gallery, The Museum of Modern Art, and the National Gallery of Australia.

He was twice High Sheriff of Cheshire (1629 and 1642) and a Colonel in the Royalist Army during the Civil War. He lost Adlington Hall in December 1642 but regained it soon after. In February 1644 the house was again besieged. This time it had to be surrendered to the Parliamentarians in order to prevent severe damage. Later that year, Colonel Legh died at Chester, to be succeeded by his son, also Thomas (1614-87). The estate was not returned to the family until 1656 after heavy fines had been paid.
