UNITED KINGDOM. Victoria, 1837-1901. Silver crown, 1847. Royal Mint. Proof Plain Edge 0.999 Fine silver, N over inverted N in Unita. The so called 'Gothic' crown was never intended for circulation and sold to the public only through official agents, at the time being Hunt and Roskell. It was an immediate success and has always been in high demand, generally held as one of the most beautiful designs British coinage has to offer.Since Royal Mint released the restrike in their Great Engravers Series in 2021, prices of the original Gothic Crowns have soared. Proof-64 graded coins have now sold for as much as $186,000. This heightened interest has also led to more research being done on the different varieties, of which there are many! Some mystique remains around the plain edge varieties which have differing silver content: 0.999 vs 0.925 fine.

UNITED KINGDOM. Victoria, 1837-1901. Gold half-sovereign, 1887. London. Imperfect J DISH L508. The issues the mint encountered with the Jubilee coins are well documented and were exacerbated by the pressure for the coins to be ready for the Queen's Golden Jubilee on 20 June 1887. Records show that 1,771,425 half-sovereigns were struck in 1887, but only 871,770, less than 50% of the total, were fit for circulation. To improve metal flow silver was included in the alloy, which makes all 1887 London Jubilee head half-sovereigns stand out for their lighter colour. Although this variety is the most common of the 1887 Jubilee head half sovereigns, it is highly sought after due to the fascinating story surrounding the series, recently told by David Iverson and Steve Hill In their publication 'The Jubilee Head Gold Half Sovereign 1887-1893' (Sovereign Rarities, 2019).Crowned and veiled Jubilee bust facing left; JEB on truncation, imperfect J; inscription: VICTORIA DEI GRATIA BRIT: REGINA F: D:. / High, crowned and embellished shield-of-arms; date in exergue; BRITANNIARUM REGINA FID: DEF:.In secure plastic holder, graded PCGS MS65 , certification number 45509664.

A rare late 17th century Coromandel Coast solid ebony armchair, Anglo-Indian, circa 1680 Delicately carved throughout, the back with two rows of ornate arcades, raised on spiral-turned uprights and centred by ball finials, below an ornate cresting carved with mermaids, ‘makara’ and centred by a scallop shell atop a twin-headed eagle, female bust finials to the leafy-carved back uprights, the downswept round-ended open arms on spiral-turned front supports, flanking a later needlework upholstered drop-in seat (seat originally caned), on carved block and conforming spiral-turned legs, joined by ornate carved mid and low stretchers, 56.5cm wide, 101.5cm high, 53.5cm deep, seat height 48cm This type of chair was made extensively for the European market, brought back by merchants and officials employed in various East India companies.

Follower of Quentin Massys (Louvain c.1465 - Antwerp 1530) Portrait of a Man, bust length, in a black hat and a fur trimmed coat Oil on panel, gold ground 30.5 x 22.5cm (12" x 9") Provenance: Presented to Gunther Henle, 1964 English Private Collection With William Thuillier, 14 Old Bond Street, London Tony Chapman Collection, West Yorkshire A letter from William Thuillier to Tony Chapman reads: Strange attributed this picture to the Master of the Holy Kinship, Horst Vey proposed an attribution to the Master of Frankfurt. Although an attribution to Quentin Massys is plausible and this portrait is clearly closely related to those of Massys, no portraits can be given to this Master with certainty, and those that have been attributed to him show some disparity. Wilenski in Flemish Painters (London 1960) lists The Banker and his Wife of 1514 in the Louvre, Profile of an Old Man of 1513 in the Musee Jaquemart Andre, Paris, Portraits of Erasmus and Aegidius of 1517 which are presumed to be in the Corsini collection, Rome, and at Longford Castle. The Antwerp dealer H.de Neyt owned in 1642 An old Man with a young girl and a Fool by 'Quinten', while the Chicago Art Institute has A Man with a Pink Painter attributed to by some Massys, and also mentioned by Wilenski. The artist of our panel may not even have been Netherlandish since Massys' influence was pervasive in the area of the Lower Rhine and Westphalia, and the painter of this portrait could possibly have been from that region, perhaps from the circle of Barthel Bruyn the Elder.
