(Same Desires, Same Dislikes), the reverse with a sunburst, the tall multi-knopped stem with a solid cushion knop and teared angular knop above a teared inverted baluster between ball knops, over a neatly folded conical foot, 21.6cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceChris Crabtree CollectionThe Book of Samuel describes David's ascent to power and the covenant he formed with Jonathan.

The relationship between the two men is considered to have been more than platonic. For the Romans, 'Idem Velle, Idem Nolle' was also the definition of friendship.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
