*Penkill Castle. A Victorian dressing table from Christina Rossetti's Room, Penkill Castle, elaborately carved oak dressing table, composed of an occasional table with additions and embellishments, stained to match, including swing mirror within a shaped veneered frame, supported by large carved volutes, above a three drawer base, attached to a serpentine base with single full-length drawer, front with carved acanthus leaves, cabriole supports leading to hoof feet united by stretchers, some worm holes and repairs, one drawer containing a few ephemeral items relating to Penkill Castle, including a pencilled recipe for dark oak stain, an empty box for a powder prescribed to W.B. Scott, and an empty visiting card envelope printed 'Miss Boyd, Penkill', 183cm (72ins) high x 102.5cm (40.25ins) wide x 60cm (23.5ins) deep Provenance: Penkill Castle, South Ayrshire, Scotland. Purchased by the current owner in the late 1970s. Believed to be the dressing table from Christina Rossetti's Room, and said to have been assembled by William Bell Scott. Penkill was the home of Alice Boyd (1825-1897), 14th Laird of Penkill, and her lifelong companion Scottish artist William Bell Scott (1811-1890), and was frequented in the latter half of the nineteenth century by Pre-Raphaelite artists and writers such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, William Holman Hunt and Christina Rossetti. During this time the castle was a hive of artistic activity, with poems being penned, furnishings being collected, decorative schemes being devised and murals being painted. Many of the visits which took place are recorded by Scott's inclusion of portraits of his friends in the most remarkable work of art at the castle, a huge mural covering the wall of the great circular staircase illustrating the medieval Scottish poem 'The King's Quair'. Christina first stayed at Penkill in 1866, and became a frequent visitor, always staying in the uppermost turret bedroom in the original tower, known as 'The Windy Room' or 'Christina Rossetti's Room', the walls of which she painted with a mural of trees with falling autumn leaves. The room looks out onto the garden from a four-cornered window, where, it is said, Christina used to stand for hours, with her elbows on the sill and her hands supporting her face, lost in meditation. She wrote of Penkill: "Even Naples in imagination cannot efface the quiet fertile comeliness of Penkill in reality." (1)

Franz Hermle brass 8 day movement striking on a bell, the arched mahogany case with carrying handle, brass grilles to sides and glazed lenticle to front. 33cm high. Notes Peter Spicer was born in Folkestone in 1930 where he lived until the evacuation of Dunkirk when his family moved to Tunbridge Wells. As a boy he went to watch his fathers friends at work, many of whom were craftsmen in various branches of woodwork. It was in their workshops that he learnt his woodworking skills, during this period, he has access to antique furniture and the restoration of antiques. On examining these items, he was often disappointed in the standard of workmanship in the backs, interiors and bottoms. He decided that whatever he made in the future would be of the same standard of workmanship and finish throughout. After National Service, he established a workshop at his home in Tunbridge Wells where he made many items to furnish his own home and for exhibition and competition. He gained many awards, gold and silver medals and prizes at National level for his work. Spicer studied music and violin playing and was able to combine this with his love of woodwork, for many years he was in demand as a repairer and restorer of old and valuable instruments of the string family. For more than twenty five years he cared for the stringed instruments of of The Royal Marines musicians on the Royal yacht Britannia.
