He moved to Cornwall in 1954 and opened his own shop, gradually expanding and offering one of the largest selections of antiques in Cornwall. He was assisted in the business by his wife Winifred, son Justin, and a team of restorers. He retired in April 2007.He was a man of refined manners, always impeccably dressed and he bought pretty, elegant things across the board, Dresden china and pierced silver Bon-Bon baskets but also brightly coloured Staffordshire figures, although it was the furniture that really fed his passion and he specialised in good quality Georgian and later furniture.David Lay reminiscences: "He would sit in the front row bidding with awesome discretion. Nothing as vulgar as a nod or wink. His demeanour told me he was bidding but of course, I knew his taste. I knew when he “should” be bidding. Often Winifred would view with Alan, the perfect couple.Happy memories of a different age. "Through his 50 years in the trade, he amassed an eclectic collection of very good quality art and antiques, many of which we are delighted to be offering here at Lays Auctions across various sales.Condition report: The sconce of the candlestick broken.

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and manufacturing flaws, including expected pitting. Small dents, minor nicks, occasional light scratches. The foot ring (above the gilt-bronze base) and the cup (above the drip pan) and associated screws are British replacements added shortly after 1860.Weight: 1,520 gDimensions: Height 19.8 cm (the largest)Probyn's Horse: The regiment known as 11th King Edward's Own Lancers was originally raised on 1 August 1857 by Captain Frederick Wale as Wale's Horse during the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and served at Lucknow. Captain Wale was killed in action in 1858, while leading the regiment in the pursuit of rebels, and was replaced by Major Dighton Probyn, VC. In 1860 the regiment was dispatched to China to take part in the Second Opium War. It participated in the advance on Peking in October 1860.In 1860, during the Second Opium War, British and French expeditionary forces, having marched inland from the coast at Tianjin, arrived in Beijing. In mid-September, two envoys went ahead of the main force under a flag of truce to negotiate with Prince Yi and representatives of the Qing Empire at Tongzhou and to scout out campsites behind enemy lines. The delegates and their escort were taken to the Ministry of Justice (or Board of Punishments) in Beijing, where they were confined and tortured. Nineteen British, French, and Indian captives died.On the night of 5 October, French units diverted from the main attack force towards the nearby Old Summer Palace. At the time, the palace was occupied by only some eunuchs and palace maids; the Xianfeng Emperor and his entourage had already fled to the Chengde Mountain Resort in Hebei. Although the French commander Charles Cousin-Montauban assured his British counterpart, James Hope Grant, that "nothing had been touched", there was extensive looting by French and British soldiers. There was no significant resistance to the looting, even though many Qing soldiers were in the vicinity.On 18 October, Lord Elgin, the British High Commissioner to China, ordered the destruction of the Old Summer Palace. It took 3,500 British troops to set the entire place ablaze, and the massive fire lasted for three days. Once the Old Summer Palace had been reduced a sign was raised by the invaders with an inscription in Chinese stating, 'This is the reward for perfidy and cruelty'. The burning of the palace was the last act of the war. 乾隆時期一套三件銅胎掐絲琺琅燭臺,1860年圓明園被掠中國,1736-1795年。臺座圓柱體,景泰藍地,纏枝蓮紋;頂部通體鎏金,滴水盤。 款識: 最高的燭臺肩部,刻著"Summer Palace. Pekin 1860. Alfred Abercromby Dick.

A PAIR OF GEORGE I CAST SILVER HEXAGONAL CANDLESTICKS JOSEPH STEWARD I, LONDON 1719 Britannia standard, with transferable sockets, engraved with an armorial 21.5cm (8 1/2in) high 1012g (32.55 oz) The paternal arms are those of the family of BYAM who are recorded in the 1623 Herald's Visitation for Somerset are recorded as of Antigua and Westwood, Hampshire. The family were originated in Somerset and in particular the parish of Luckham, were many generation were clergymen. They were Royalists supporters and after the execution of Charles I settled in the West Indies were they are recorded as Governors of Barbados and plantation and slave owners. At the time of the assay (1719) their arms were usually recorded without any marshalling. The arms were then held by Edward BYAM (1661-1741) and his wife Lydia THOMAS (1670-1744). The impaled arms engraved on the candlestick were those of great-grandfather Revd. Edward BYAM (1585-1639) born at Luckham, Somerset but later died in his then ministry in Cork, Ireland who had married Elizabeth Augusta E(A)GLESFIELD (1595-1639) the daughter of Revd. Anthony EAGLESFIELD (1565-1635). It is unclear why this has happened and given that we can rule out any second marriage between BYAM and EAGLESFIELD we can only assume that this reflects their connection to England before the Commonwealth.Condition Report: Transferable sconces cum sockets unmarked, lion's head erased to capitals, full sets beneath, scratches and quite a lot of nicks, especially to the bases, commensurate with age and use, engraving crisp, sit well, one with split running down the stemCondition Report Disclaimer
