Lot 2183
A silver mounted goblet, the bowl, lid and base formed of oak panels, one of which bears a silver plaque bearing the crest of the Boswell family (perhaps a later addition). The wide rims decorated with oak leaves and acorns, the stem realistically modelled as an oak tree, the lid surmounted by a silver bust of Charles II. Roman numerals I-XII engraved anti-clockwise around the base. Note: Provenance available on request. Condition Report: The story goes , a goblet was made by Charles II from silver mounted oak to give to a supporter who helped to hide him from Cromwell's forces. The current owners say the cup was given to their ancestor privateer Hawkins, but the original was then lost in the 19th Century and a Victorian replica was made. The finial does sit awkwardly and the quality of the silverwork is not brilliant but the overall condition is good. A few dents, worn decoration, three tiny cracks to the edge of the rims. Modern green felt has been inserted into the base.

A WAX RELIEF PORTRAIT OF NELSON BY CATHERINE ANDRAS, 1805, the 3in. bust-length image modelled in light-brown wax, signed and dated under the epaulette C. Andras 1805, mounted on black and contained within a period gilt frame with domed glass -- 6¼in. (16cm.) high, Catherine Andras, together with her adoptive father, Robert Bowyer, and John Whichelo were the last three artists to capture Nelson at Merton in September 1805. Andras’s profile was immediately popular and drew praise from Lady Hamilton, and the Dean & Chapter of Westminster Abbey commissioned their life-size wax effigy to compete with Nelson’s tomb at St. Paul’s as a direct consequence. The profile was also much imitated by other artists, such as Tassie, for use on medallions.
