WALTER ROCHE (1847-1921) a pair of 19th century bronze equine studies with riders up; each signed and dated 1883 rear corner and each raised on shaped rectangular wooden plinth base, the wooden bases (31.5cm x 32cm high (to tip of jockey's cap)) The Auctioneer states that the Provenance is good – this has been in the same family for many years. As expected the shaped oak plinth bases has a number of scratches and scuffs commensurate with age. Each bronze is dated W Roche and dated 1883 at the back. Please see closer images. The condition of the first horse is good – no major repairs or problems. Nice colour and patination – you can see the vein detail on the horse’s neck. The second horse looks like he is holding a crop which looks very short which leads the Auctioneer to suggest that a piece may be missing and also it may have had reins originally but these seem to be missing – the rest of this horse seems to be in good overall condition. Rather dusty but no major problems noted or restorations etc.
A good bronze scale model of HMS Victory's middle-gun-deck 24-pounder cannon; the heavy bronze cannon (approx. 1.3 kg and 26cm in length) mounted on its original wooden carriage stands with ramrod, 7 lead cannonballs and tackle on a (probably 19th century) slatted patinated maple platform in the form of the Victory's oak gundeck with fixed 11-ball magazine. The 38cm x 24.5cm platform with plaque reading: Scale model of middle deck 24 pndr. H.M.S. Victory 1765It is not known if this is a working model although the touch hole goes right in to the barrel bottom. The rod goes in by 10.5cms and meets spongey resistance. The cannon is very dark and has a good overall patination and some very minor scratches and pitting marks although nothing to be concerned about. The oak carriage looks fairly good overall. There is an amount of rigging etc., together with a single ramrob and seven “cannon balls” (four missing from cannon ball rack at front). The items come privately. The deck on which the cannon support has bowed presumably with the wood shrinking across the grain and this is commensurate with age. It also has some scratches and minor discolouration. Generally in good overall condition.
