Full title: A pair of Dutch Delft style blue and white oval portrait plaques, Utrecht, ca. 1800Description: Dim.: ca. 13 x 10 cmÊ These two small Delft style earthenware plaques are decorated with portraits of Lamoral, Count of Egmond (1522-1568) and Philip II of Spain (1527-1598), painted in shades of blue on a white background. They bear on their edge the inscriptions 'LAMORALUS COMES DE EGMOND, PRINCEPS GAVERAE FIENNAED. &' and 'PHILIPPUS II, D.G. HISPANIARUM AND INDIARUM REX CATOLICUS ARCH, AVST. ".These portraits were taken from prints by Johannes Gysius (ca. 1583-1652) dating from 1616, one of which is kept in the library of the Peace Palace in The Hague.Condition reports and additional images:The absence of a condition report does not imply that a lot is in perfect condition.

Full title: An impressive white Delftware pyramidal tulip vase, ca. 1800Description: H.: 80 cmÊ Provenance: A French private collection.Ê The present tulip vase is unusual in many ways. While it is closely inspired on Dutch examples, it is likely of French or Belgian origin. Plain white examples of these lavish vases are almost non-existent. The shape is inspired by the famous pair of blue and white examples, commissioned by Queen Mary II prior to her death in 1694. This pair, part of the Royal Collection Trust, is on display at Hampton Court (link available on our website). The twisted base is a feature rarely encountered on original 17th C. examples. Another similarity is found in the central oval medallions, which bear the royal coat of arms.Condition reports and additional images:The absence of a condition report does not imply that a lot is in perfect condition.

John Cleveley the Elder (Southwark circa 1712-1777 Deptford)The East Indiaman Alfred in three positions off St Helena signed and dated 'J Cleveley Pinx 1772' (lower left)oil on canvas77.5 x 147.3cm (30 1/2 x 58in).Footnotes:The Alfred depicted here was the first of three East Indiamen to bear this name in the Honourable East India Company's fleet. Built in Barnard's Yard at Deptford for George Willson, Esq. and launched on 29th October 1772, her fine lines, elaborate stern carving and impressive armament of 32-guns, including two stern-chasers, were more akin to a Royal Navy frigate than an Indiaman, and she was widely regarded as a particularly handsome vessel. Measured by her builder at 764 tons, she was 110 feet in length with a 36 foot beam and sported a splendid figurehead of the Saxon King Alfred who many of her contemporaries regarded as the 'Father of the English Navy'.On 29th January 1773 she set sail from the Downs anchorage bound for the EIC's enclave at Bencoolen, on the island of Sumatra, via St Helena, under the command of Captain John Lauder. Arriving off St. Helena on 1st May to take on water and fresh provisions, she reached her destination on 30th September, where she loaded cargo for home and was back in the Downs on 4th February 1775. A second voyage to Bencoolen followed from December 1776 to August 1778, after which her next two voyages were both to China but with several intermediate calls. Returning home for the last time on 20th June 1786, after an unusually lengthy voyage lasting over four years, she was then sold for breaking, her relatively short career probably due to storm damage which rendered her no longer fit for service.Owned throughout her life by Mr. George Willson, it is likely that he commissioned this portrait the Alfred to commemorate her completion and what would be her first port of call at St. Helena the following year.The island of St. Helena in the South Atlantic was discovered by the Portuguese on St. Helena's Day, 21st May 1502. Afterwards held by the Dutch, the British East India Company briefly settled there in 1651 and even though the island changed hands again during the Anglo-Dutch Wars in the middle of the century, it had reverted to the British Crown by 1673 when, on 12th December that year, Charles II granted it to the East India Company for use as a port of call for their homebound ships. In 1684, the Company instructed Captain Knox to go to Madagascar to 'procure Negrosse (sic) to bring to St. Helena for the Company's Service thare (sic)', these slaves being intended for domestic use in the growing settlement of St. James (later Jamestown). The position of the island, especially in comparison with the hostile coasts of west and south-west Africa, was also of great strategic importance on the route to India and ships were often required to transport reinforcements to the garrison there. When, for example, the Suffolk was chartered for this purpose in 1749, it was agreed that her owners were to receive 'for all Soldiers and Passengers carried to ye S[ai]d Island £5 a head' as their fee for the charter.St. Helena's barren appearance when approached from the sea was in marked contrast to the luxuriance of its many deep valleys, the town and anchorage for the Company's ships being situated below St. James's valley at the northern end of the leeward side of the island. Apart from drinking water and the obvious shelter from the weather, the island regularly supplied ships with beef and lemons (to combat scurvy) whilst in return, the Company provided St. Helena with grain which would not grow there.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Registration No: Un-Reg Chassis No: 53798 MOT: Exempt Entered from a private collection and one of only circa 500 madeHistory file with a letter confirming long-term prior family ownership and verifying the recorded mileage of only 35,000.Benefitting from a decade of restoration works during the vendors' ownership, overseen by their own expert in-house mechanicThe process including a full bodywork restoration and repaint, a re-trim and hood replacement, £4000 plus gearbox refurbishment, etc bills and photographs present. ‘LLD 11’ was manufactured in 1950 and originally supplied to its first owner via Hoopers of London. The second owner purchased the Daimler in 1967, it was then used to transport the local mayor to functions etc until going into storage during 1979. The DB18 remained unused within the same family until it was sold in 2008 and was subsequently purchased (through Bonhams) by the vendor. This information is detailed in a letter from a family member then supplied with the car and still present in the history file. This letter also confirms the wholly credible low mileage of only 35000 to be correct.The current owner's restoration process began in 2009 with a complete body strip down and refurbishment prior to being fully repainted in its handsome 'coffee and cream' livery (restoration pictures on file). Then followed a total retrim in cream leather and the supply and fitting of a replacement convertible hood. The cloth interior of the driver's side 'dash cubby' has suffered some minor age-related deterioration, otherwise the interior seats, carpets and woodwork are all in fine order. The vendor is currently searching for one or two invoices to fully complete the history file which also contains a copy of the owner’s handbook. During a detailed pre-sale 'in-house' preparation process, the underside of the car has been fully cleaned and undersealed. This process confirmed that ‘LLD 11’ is structurally sound but could require attention to signs of minor corrosion at the rear of both rear wheel arches and at the junction of the driver's side of floor and front sill in due course. The car has been started and run at regular intervals without incident, including when the photographs were taken. The engine and refurbished pre-selector transmission are said to be in ‘excellent order’ and bear further testament to the incredibly low advised mileage. It seems a little churlish to highlight minor body imperfections etc on a vehicle that's over 70 years old but accuracy is paramount. As a colleague who joined me when I viewed ‘LLD 11’ remarked, the car is in remarkable condition throughout for its age, has a detailed documented history, and must be one of the lowest mileage examples of this rare Marque available.Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: This lot is not currently UK road registered with the DVLA. However, the Daimler is accompanied by an old-style V5 Registration Document which might well enable it to be reunited with its original registration number of 'LLD 11' For more information, please contact:Paul Bruhin-Priceinfo@handh.co.uk07860 534637

The retouched dial of the current lot would appear to bear a signature for his successors hence would most likely date to after 1857.Condition Report: Please ask the department for additional imagesCondition Report Disclaimer

A FINE PAIR OF GEORGE III/REGENCY 12 INCH LIBRARY TABLE GLOBES Thomas Bardin and William & Samuel Jones, London, 1817 and 1800The terrestrial sphere applied with twelve coloured printed gores incorporating panel inscribed THE, NEW TWELVE INCH, BRITISH, Terrestrial Globe, REPRESENTING THE, ACCURATE POSITIONS OF THE PRINCIPAL, KNOWN PLACES OF THE EARTH., FROM THE DISCOVERIES OF, CAPTIAN COOK, AND SUBSEQUENT CIRCUMNAVIGATORS, TO THE PRESENT PERIOD, with corrections and additions to, 1817, Manufactured by T.M.

JONES, Holborn, London, each sphere with poles incorporating brass hour rings and pivots for mounting within brass meridian circles divided for degrees, resting in wooden stands with matching hand coloured paper horizon rings each graduated in degrees in two directions, days-of-the-month and houses of the Zodiac with names and symbols and also displaying compass directions, the stands each with four curved quadrant supports for the horizon ring over squat ring-turned baluster upright issuing three cabriole supports with pointed pad feet with compass stretcher between, (the celestial faded and part restored and both compasses incomplete). 63cm (24.75ins) high, 43cm (17ins) wide overall. Thomas Marriott Bardin is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as a globe maker apprenticed to his father, William, in 1783 with whom he went into partnership in 1790. Bardin and Son initially worked from 4 Hind Court, Fleet Street, London before moving to 16 Salisbury Square in 1975. William Bardin died in 1795 leaving the business in the hands of Thomas who remained working from the same address until 1839. William and Samuel Jones are recorded by Clifton as optical, mathematical and philosophical instrument makers who worked from several addresses in Holborn 1791-1859 including 135 Holborn (1792-1800) and 30 Holborn (1800-1860). It is interesting to note that the celestial of this pair does not bear the name of Bardin, however it was common practice for the vendors of globes to put their own trade label over that of the manufacturer. Indeed, this was a matter of course with Bardin-supplied globes retailed by the Jones's such was the nature of their trading relationship (bearing in mind that very often it was William Jones who had designed the globe in the first place).Condition Report: The celestial sphere is part restored; the varnish has been removed and an area around the base pivot has been filled (approx. 5-6cm diameter). The brass ring for the north pole is currently detached otherwise sphere is in sound condition but with overall fading/patchy brown staining and heavy fading to surface and few light scuffs to the gores. The meridian papers are in good condition with only slight shrinkage evident. The compass is lacking its glass and needle but the paper is present and in good condition the stand and brass fittings are in good condition.The terrestrial sphere is in sound original condition retaining old surface with only a few very slight varnish scuffs mainly near the southern pivot. The gores show some slight signs of opening/movement where they meet and the sphere has some loose material internally which can be heard when the sphere is rotated. There is overall age related discolouration/fazing to the surface but gores are generally clear and colours relatively strong. The meridian papers are heavily discoloured and worn with losses. The meridian ring is in sound condition. The stand and brass fittings are in sound condition, the compass is missing its paper, needle and glass. Condition Report Disclaimer

Lot 216
The ovoid body raised on three cabriole legs, with a chased border of shells and diaper work around the shoulder and cover, with a vacant cartouche (previously engraved), with later spirit lampHeight: 31cm, weight (all in): 52.9ozFootnote: Note: This newly discovered mid 18th century Edinburgh coffee urn adds to a small but important group of Scottish silver, arguably without compare. Bringing the survival to approximately seventeen (with eleven in institutions), this urn fits perfectly within the Golden Age of Edinburgh silver.With no parallel elsewhere in England or the rest of Europe, where the inspiration for this design emanates from is still the subject of debate, although the basic shape may derive something from the earlier practice of mounting ostrich eggs in silver.During the period of these urns manufacture (circa 1719 - 1767) and particularly within the height of their manufacture (circa 1730 -1750) the number of standard pouring coffee pots is minimal. This and a reference in the John Rollo, Goldsmith Edinburgh, account book 'To one Coffe poot 62 oz 2dr at 7sh 6pe per oz - £23 - 5 - 8' and the survival of this piece adds great weight to the theory of their use being for coffee, rather than as hot water or tea.Their functionality also is worthy of note, when it is considered that within contemporary accounts coffee is considered medicinal and should 'be drunk as hot as one can bear' the shape combined with the use of a burner (now lacking in most of extant examples) would have meant the contents could have been kept hot.The design of these urns seems to vary more by the period than maker, with the flair of the maker coming in the outline shape of the body; they can vary from elongated to more compressed squat forms. All but one of the surviving urns are of Edinburgh manufacture and by a small but highly regarded group of makers. The exception is a Dundee marked example by Alexander Johnston, which while marked by him and the body likely made by him, the cast elements (legs, handles etc.) appear to emanate from one of the Edinburgh makers, likely James Kerr. Research continues but it would appear that all seventeen urns could have these cast elements emanating from as few as three original workshops, although the number of makers marks struck to them is greater. While the marks to this example are now all but obliterated, it does seem possible to suggest a maker, comparing stylistic trends of shape, decoration and cast elements. The most likely candidate appears to be the highly regarded Edinburgh silversmith James Kerr, who would latterly go into partnership with William Dempster becoming Kerr & Dempster. On earlier examples Kerr’s mark is prolific and on later examples the partnerships maker's mark is also seen.Perhaps most telling is the delicately flat chased decoration and diaper work to the neck which is reminiscent of Kerr’s work on bullet teapots of the same period. The cast legs with their acanthus clasped tops, with plain rat tail rib and the raised hoof feet are also a mould recognised as coming from the Kerr workshop. Access to prepared moulds in the workshop must suggest a place of manufacture similar to the other urns featuring these patterns. The crossover of makers using the same moulds and patterns for handles, legs and spigot does add some confusion to these theories, but the majority of urns using these moulds can be tied to the Kerr (and latterly Kerr & Dempster) workshop.It is also worth noting that James Kerr was responsible for the creation of the Hopetoun tea and coffee service (originally commissioned with an ovoid coffee urn, now lost) and similarities can be seen with the light diaper work of the 18th century and hoof feet of the spirit kettle held in the collection of The National Museums of Scotland.This piece certainly pre-dates his partnership with William Dempster in 1751, so it seems safe to ascribe James Kerr’s name alone to this work. This urn is also rare in that it was made with an integral placement for the spirit lamp burner.Please be aware that this lot contains material which may be subject to import/export restrictions, especially outside the EU, due to CITES regulations.
