5th-8th century A.D. A superb chip-carved saucer or button brooch with extensive remains of gilding, displaying a stylised male face with puffy cheeks, large ears, long moustache, raised pellet eyes of different sizes, hair dressed in vertical ribs alternating plain and textured, some chevron and pellet patterning to the face; stub remains of catch fitting to reverse. Cf. Avent, R. and Evison, V., Anglo-Saxon Button Brooches, in Archaeologia Or Miscellaneous Tracts Relating To Antiquity, London Society of Antiquaries, Volume CVII, London, 1982, pl.XV-XVI, for types. 5.2 grams, 23 mm (7/8 in.). Found UK.Acquired in the 1990s.From a North Yorkshire private collection, UK. The brooch does not fall neatly into Avent & Evison's typology, being somewhat larger than the standard forms of button brooch and with an unusually detailed face. Broadly, it resembles Class J with alternating plain and textured vertical strands in the hair but does not have the horizontal band across the brow nor the stylised beard associated with the type. The eccentric placement of the eyes suggests that the image may be the face of the god Woden (Odin) who famously sacrificed one eye in exchange for wisdom.

Ron Fuller, 1936-2017, Laying Puffin, 1991, wood, spring, inscribed beneath wings Ron Fuller Autoymation and Made in England, approx. 22.3cm high, 14cm wide, 19.5cm deep; together with six other pieces by the same artist, comprising: Dancing Sailor (London), card, wood, tape, glass, sand, inscribed Ron Fuller Automation, Laxfield, England, approx. 17.5cm high, 14.8cm wide, 8.9cm deep; High Kicker, wood, cord, inscribed ARFT Laxfield England and Can Can, approx. 24cm long; Lazy Tong, painted wood, card, approx. 30cm high extended; Bavarian Ducks, painted wood, approx. 23.5cm long; Bavarian Shelducks, painted softwood, approx. 23.5cm long; and Ship and submarine, painted wood, wood, springs, submarine approx. 20cm wide, ship approx. 27cm wide (7)Sir Nicholas Goodison noted:Laying Puffing: Pressing down on the puffin's back causes her to raise her wings, open her beak and lay an egg, which is improbably spherical and is apt to roll away as you press down four more times for further eggs.Dancing Sailor: This glass fronted box is a gravity toy. Inverting the box causes the sand to fall to the top. Making the box upright again causes the sand to fall and to turn the pivot on which the sailor is mounted, and the sailor dances a jig.High Kicker: Ron Fullers adaptation of the swinging weight operating a circle of feeding chickens has become a trio of high-kicking Can-can dancers, complete with saucy garters.Ship and Submarine: This is Ron Fullers version of a pre-WW2 toy. The ship painted 482, the submarine SUB-1. The submarine fires its red torpedoes one at a time aiming at the peg in the side of the ships hull. The torpedo is loaded from the bows of the submarine, pushing out the firing lever at the stern. If the torpedo hits the peg, it pushes a retaining pin inward and releases a lever powered by another powerful spring inside the ship, which explodes, sending the deck, the superstructure, the gun turrets and the funnels all over the place, a very satisfactory outcome for children who enjoy a good destruction. The torpedo spring is powerful, and the range given in Fullers description is about 13 or 4m on a smooth floor, but who can hit the yellow button in the ships hull at that range? It has to be said that the ship could have been designed with a better standard of safety. The best that its crew can hope for is bad aiming.Provenance:Laying Puffin: Purchased, Ron Fuller, May 1991.Dancing Sailor: Purchased, Ron Fuller, December 1991.High Kicker, Purchased, Kristin Baybars, London, January 1993. Exhibited, A Collectors Collection, Strawberry Hill, June-November 2014.Ship and Submarine: Purchased, Ron Fuller December 1987.Note: Ron Fuller, 1936-2017, studied at art schools in Plymouth and Falmouth before studying Art & Theatre Design at the Royal College of Art.After a career in teaching, he began to make wood toys for a living in 1972. His highly sought-after work has been exhibited around the world.Roseberys do not guarantee the working order of any automata or toy.
Lot 162
After Albert Bruce-Joy, Irish, 1842-1924, a marble statue of William Ewart Gladstone, 1809-98, late 19th century, with left hand outstretched and right hand clutching a document, standing beside an octagonal column with three books resting on top, 99cm highProvenance: The Property of the late Lord Avebury.Note: Liberal party statesman and four times Prime Minister, William Ewart Gladstone was one of the most revered politicians of the 19th Century. Renowned for his intense rivalry with Benjamin Disraeli, Gladstone was an outstanding orator and a passionate campaigner for reform, Irish Home Rule and an ethical foreign policy.This marble is after a bronze original unveiled on Wednesday 9th August 1882 in Bow, East London. At the unveiling of the statue by The Rt. Hon. Lord Charlingford, the politician's son said: "Seldom if ever has the hand of a sculptor succeeded in producing so admirable and faithful a likeness." Another commented: "It seems to breathe the deep earnestness, the dignity and intellectual power of the statesman whom we used to call the 'Grand Old Man'." The statue was commissioned by match makers Bryant and May, to commemorate the overturning of Gladstones Chancellor of the Exchequer Robert Lowes infamous match tax. Since 1988 the hands of the original bronze have been painted red, a reference to the matchgirls of the factory striking for better working conditions, and also an urban myth that the bronze was paid for with docked wages from the matchgirls' salary.Albert Bruce-Joy was born in Dublin and primarily worked in England, exhibiting at the Royal Academy from 1866. He also visited and exhibited in Boston, New York and Philadelphia. His most prominent works are the portrait busts in Westminster Abbey, St.Pauls Cathedral and The House of Commons.Condition Report: Light surface dirt overall to be expected with age and handling. There are natural veins in the marble, including one which arcs across his back from the top of the left shoulder for approx 12 cm. These are stable. The right hand is separately carved and attached inside the cuff. It is larger in size than the left hand but appears original. The larger size is perhaps explained by a deliberate fore-shortening by the sculptor as the statue may have originally be positioned higher up in a niche. The fingers of this hand have all been broken off and re-carved before being restored back into place with metal pins and filler. Three of these fingers are now detached but present with the lot and require restoring back into place or replaced as they are quite crudely carved.Some small losses to extremities, including the tip of one page of the rolled document in his left hand, the edge of his coat on his left side near the lowest button, the tips of the folds of his coat on the right side bottom edge, the circular base and the leading top edge of the octagonal plinth behind Gladstone. The statue is unsigned but there are two small holes and a shadow where a plaque has been positioned at some point.
