Of shield shape, cast with the Royal Arms of England, with square piercing for suspension, stamped with the royal crowned cipher 'h' four times, a possible foundry mark near aperture, and a probable verification mark to top corner, stamped initials' ELA' and 'IIV' above aperture, typical circular cavity to rear, 14cm diameter, 9.5cm wide. Although the arms and cipher may refer to either Henry VII or VIII the English national system of weights and measures underwent a complete reform, circa 1495, under the reign of Henry VII and principally not again until the reign of Elizabeth I. The cipher is also lower case, rather than a capital 'H', which is more commonly associated with Henry VIII. For a comparable Henry VII wool weight, one of a pair, see the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Cambridge, acc. no. 1883.821. A-B.

* LEON MORROCCO RSA RGI (SCOTTISH b. 1942), SEATED FIGURE WITH CHILD pastel on paper, signed and dated '74mounted, framed and under glassimage size 34cm x 26cm, overall size 52cm x 42cm Note 1: The Royal Scottish Academy honoured Leon Morrocco by staging a major exhibition "Leon Morrocco: Long Road Home" (30th July - 28th August 2022). The RSA website reports: Timed to coincide with the artist’s 80th birthday (and the 2022 Edinburgh International Arts Festival) this major survey exhibition of one of our longest-standing Academicians celebrates the breadth of Leon’s prolific career. Although Leon was born in Edinburgh he has not lived in Scotland since 1979. This exhibition charts the ‘long road home’ to showing in the capital this summer.Note 2: Leon Morrocco RSA was born in Edinburgh in 1942. The son of Scottish-Italian artist Alberto Morrocco RSA OBE (1917-1998), Leon spent his childhood in Aberdeen and Dundee where his father taught at the art colleges. On family holidays to Italy Leon and his father would go out into the hills around Rome and Alberto would paint whilst Leon would draw. In 1959 Leon enrolled at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee, before continuing to the Slade School of Art, London (1960-61), and Edinburgh College of Art (1961-65). After art school, he was awarded the Andrew Grant Scholarship and an Italian Government Scholarship to the Accademia di Brera, Milan. Allowing him to travel around Greece, Turkey and Italy, these awards catalysed the itinerant lifestyle that would define his career.Elected an Associate of the Royal Scottish Academy at the unusually young age of 29, Leon was Lecturer in Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art from 1965 to 1968 before taking up a similar position at Glasgow School of Art from 1969 to 1979. Driven by a desire for travel and adventure, in 1979 he left Scotland to become the Head of Fine Art at the Chisholm Institute, Melbourne. Leon and his family would live in Australia for 12 years. Buoyed by gallery support, in 1984 he left academia and for the first time focused solely on his own practice. Following several successful exhibitions in Melbourne and Sydney, in 1991 Leon and his family returned to the UK, settling in North London. Leon Morrocco's work is held in numerous notable public, corporate and private collections, including the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, H.R.H Princess Margaret, Leeds Art Gallery, The Nuffield Foundation, and Queensland Art Gallery.
* JOHN BELLANY CBE RA HRSA (SCOTTISH 1942 - 2013), THE PLAYERS (1967) oil on board, signed and dated "Feb 1967" verso unframed overall size 161cm x 183cm Note 1: Music was a big part of John Bellany's life and he grew up with a piano in the family home. His mother played and John had lessons from the age of eight. He later joined a band "The Blue Bonnets" and it monopolised his weekends almost to the end of his Edinburgh College of Art days. The Blue Bonnets were "the cultural sensation of East Lothian". When Bellany took up his place at The Royal College of Art in 1965 he was hungry for knowledge. The anonimity of London, the lost souls and loneliness, the joyless crowds on the tube and the lack of camaraderie after the smaller friendlier world of Edinburgh were alienating. His early RCA works showed the tensions and anxieties of metropolitan life. However, with the unwavering support of Carel Weight and his tutors he started his love affair with the capital and all the cultural opportunities it could offer.In the summer of 1967 Bellany, accompanied by Sandy Moffat and Alan Bold, visited what was then East Germany where they celebrated John's twenty-fifth birthday. During the trip, on a day of creeping fog, the trio visited the site of the Buchenwald Concentration camp. It was the "thunderbolt of all time" for Bellany. He was convinced that a loving God could never have countenanced such evil. "Buchenwald marked the true end of innocence for Bellany" "Hell obsessed him after Buchenwald" said Moffat. Dated verso "Feb 1967" in Bellany's hand "The Players" is a large and rare early example of the post Edinburgh and pre Buchenwald period in his career. Note 2: It is extraordinary to contemplate that Bellany was only in his mid twenties when he painted these exceptional works about which London Standard art critic Brian Sewell later commented ".... in the 1960s (Bellany) painted such pictures as to make us think him as a painter with Rembrandt". John Bellany's early work, especially the large oil on boards, is highly prized by collectors and their appearances at auction are ever rarer. The most recent example to appear in our auctions was "The Finnon Smoker" (1965) 183 x 122cm oil on board, lot 65 , 29th May 2022 which sold for £80,000 (hammer).Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist in the early 1970s by Mike Hanson of London and by descent. Mike Hanson taught scenic construction at Croydon College of Art on the Theatre Design course in the 1970s.

A REGENCY MAHOGANY AND GILT BRONZE MOUNTED SIDE TABLE ATTRIBUTED TO GEORGE OAKLEY, CIRCA 1810 93cm high, 252cm wide, 76.5cm deep This fine table can be attributed to George Oakley (d.1840), who worked in partnership with various cabinet-makers including Henry Kettle, George Shackleton and John Evans, producing high quality furniture in the fashionable Grecian taste and specializing in 'buhl' inlay (C. Gilbert and G. Beard, eds., Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, 1986, pp.658-660). His extensive enterprise earned the accolades of the Royal Family as noted after their visit in 1799: 'the Royal family, with the Prince and Princess of Orange did Mr. Oakley the honour of viewing his Printed Furniture Warehouse in New Bond Street; when her Majesty, the Duke and Duchess of York, and the Princesses highly approved of the splendid variety which has justly attracted the notice of the fashionable world' (Morning Chronicle). This reputation spread abroad where an 1804 newspaper article published in Weimar, Germany stated: 'all people with taste buy their furniture at Oakley's'. A sideboard and side table attributed to his firm, and of the same design, are in the Ballroom of the Mansion house, described as a 'capital mahogany sideboard supported on a stand, reeded legs and carved and bronzed paw feet, with antique bronze heads'.An almost identical table is in Royal Dining Room, Palace of Holyroodhouse. The Royal Dining Room at the Palace of Holyroodhouse was first used as a dining room by Queen Victoria. Today the Royal Family uses this room for formal dinners.An almost identical table was sold Christie's, Important English Furniture, Property from the Collection of Mrs Sydell Ballon and the Estate of Frederick Ballon, 9th April 2003, Lot 27 (£33,460).

Egypt, situated at the crossroads of Africa and the Middle East, is a nation steeped in millennia of history and cultural significance. With its iconic landmarks, including the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the temples of Luxor and Karnak, Egypt stands as a living testament to one of the world's earliest civilizations. The Nile River, flowing majestically through the heart of the country, has been a lifeline for Egyptian civilization, nurturing fertile lands and providing a vital source of sustenance.Cairo, the bustling capital, is a vibrant metropolis where the ancient and the modern coexist. The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square houses an extensive collection of artifacts, including the treasures of Tutankhamun, showcasing the nation's rich archaeological heritage. The Islamic Cairo district boasts medieval architecture, with the towering minarets of mosques such as the Sultan Hassan Mosque and the Al-Rifa'i Mosque punctuating the skyline.Egypt's cultural heritage extends to the tranquil banks of the Nile, where traditional felucca boats sail against a backdrop of ancient temples and villages. The Valley of the Kings, on the west bank of Luxor, is a necropolis containing the tombs of pharaohs and nobles, revealing the intricate artistry and beliefs of ancient Egyptians.Beyond its historical allure, Egypt offers the Red Sea Riviera, where resorts like Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada attract visitors with pristine beaches and vibrant coral reefs for snorkeling and diving. The Sinai Peninsula, with its rugged landscapes and the historic St. Catherine's Monastery, adds a touch of adventure and spirituality.Egyptian culture is deeply influenced by its Islamic traditions and a rich tapestry of art, music, and literature.
