Lot 74
Hector Archibald MacDonald - the Private Who Became a General:- A Collection of Related Items, including a Robinson & Leadbeater parian bust; a trinket box made from the hoof of his charger "Knowall", with a silver plated hinged cover enclosing the sole and engraved with an inscription; a Gordon Highlanders officer's brass crossbelt plate set onto an oak plaque with a brass plaque engraved "THIS BOX WAS MADE FROM THE COFFIN USED TO INTER THE REGIMENTAL COLOURS OF THE OLD 'NINETY TWA' IN 1881. IT WAS GIVEN TO ME IN 1950 BY HECTOR MacDONALD, SON OF THE GENERAL OF THE SAME NAME", together with a book Fighting Mac, The Downfall of Major-General Sir Hector MacDonald, which references the mock funeral; six various other related publications; a rare silk Stevengraph; a cabinet card; an unframed Vanity Fair print by Spy "A General Group"; postcards, a hand written letter from him dated May 13th (1901) and a quantity of research materialFootnote:- Hector MacDonald was born 4th March 1853, the son of a crofter, he left school before he was 15 and was apprenticed to a draper in Dingwall. He enlisted with the Gordon Highlanders as a Private at the age of 17 and rose through the ranks on his own merit and professionalism to become a Major-General. He distinguished himself during the Second Afghan War and was offered the choice of the Victoria Cross or a commission. He chose the latter, but never quite fitted in with his fellow officers. He was posted to Ceylon as Commander-in-Chief of British forces, but committed suicide in 1903 following accusations of homosexual activity with local boys. This was almost certainly an invention prompted by jealous and cruel suggestion! His suicide caused great public shock, as did the discovery that he had secretly married in 1884 and had fathered a son. He was buried in "secret" at Dean Cemetery, Edinburgh, but 30,000 people turned up to pay their last respects.

A Regency rosewood inlaid side cabinet, with mirrored upstand and fitted with glazed doors and shelves and raised on scroll feet. Height 127 cm, width 150 cm, depth 34 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The two end compartments are open and not glazed. They both have one glass shelf which is clearly later and would have originally have been wooden. The side apertures have never been glazed and always open. The brass gallery is in good order all round. The upper shelf to the superstructure is in good condition. The mirror plate is showing some signs of perishing. The crossbanding around the mirror frame has some old stress fractures but all is present. It is likely that there will have been some form of scroll to the left and right of the mirrored upstand and this is evidenced by small holes. The centre doors are in good order with no warping. We have the lock and key which operates. There is one shelf to the main section in mahogany. There has only ever been one. The sides of the cabinet are in generally good order. The back panel on the left-hand side has slightly sprung away from the carcass. The brass inlay to the left-hand foot is partially missing and has been overpainted. The right-hand foot is similar. All castors are original and present. We can see no evidence of any woodworm. The two rear supports do not form any function as far as we can see. They do not touch the ground.

The middle drawer also has a similar but far fainter stress fracture to the veneer. The same comments apply to the right-hand drawer.

All locks and escutcheons are present but we do not have any keys. They are all unlocked. The sides of the cabinet are in good condition with no splits.
