William Percy French (1854-1920) SCRABO, COUNTY DOWN, 1905 watercolour signed and dated lower left 9½ x 21in. (24.13 x 53.34cm) Presented in the original pokerwork frame with Celtic interlaced knot design. A number of French's watercolours were effectively framed by the Arts and Crafts workshop known first as the Belfast School of Poker-Work and then as the Irish Decorative Art Association, run by Eta Lowry and Mina Robinson and their team of women in Belfast. By 1900 specialising in Celtic interlaced pokerwork patterns, their frequently exhibited work showed their application of "the ancient Celtic ornament to all the articles of use and beauty which furnish the modern home". Larmour records that, in 1904, almost all Percy French's paintings were exhibited with pokerwork frames decorated by the Association at its annual summer show in Portrush, Co. Antrim. (See footnote no. 2) Some of these were intricately delineated on the timber frame with competently rhythmic, inventive knotwork, ably balanced on all four sides with modulating triple spirals to denote a change of design in the middle of each side. These small circular devices recall the triskel, one of the main emblems of Celtic triadic paganism, perhaps symbolizing, appropriately, the three realms of land, sea and sky. They may be seen in somewhat fish-like forms, along with small interlaced crosses in the fine frame which French chose to set off the 1902 watercolour he painted to illustrate his immortal words, "Where Ever I go my heart turns back to the County Mayo" (sold by Whyte's in September 2005, lot 66) from the collection of Rupert Guinness, 2nd Earl of Iveagh.

A Celtic Bronze Wheel Amulet, 2nd - 1st Century BCA circular bronze wheel amulet of the late Iron Age. It has four spokes emanating from a central hub with five punched dots at the centre. The outer rim is decorated with a series of punched dots, numbering seven in each quadrant. The number of dots could be significant, possibly representing the number of days in a lunar month, whilst the quadrants themselves represent the four seasons.Wheels held great significance in Celtic society and were associated with the Thunder-God, Taranis. This remarkable, wearable piece has a deep chocolate brown patina consistent with its age, the condition is very fine with smooth surfaces. Four-spoked wheels appear on gold and silver coins of the Corieltavi tribe, the ancient inhabitants of the county of Lincolnshire where this piece was found.20mm/7.8grmsRecorded with Portable Antiquities Scheme : DENO-0BBA52

* JOHN MACKIE,EILEAN DONAN CASTLEpastel, signed and dated (20)1558cm x 82cm (23 x 32 inches)Framed and under glass.Note: John Mackie was born in Glasgow in 1953 and studied at the Glasgow School of Art between 1972-76. It was there that he was first introduced to the Scottish Colourists and the Glasgow Boys, admiring their bold use of colour and powerful draughtsmanship.He has exhibited widely for over 40 years at the Royal Scottish Academy as well as in the USA, Germany, London, Dublin and throughout Scotland.Eilean Donan (Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Donnain) is a small tidal island in Loch Duich in the western Highlands of Scotland; since the castle's restoration in the early 20th Century, a footbridge has connected the island to the mainland. A picturesque castle that frequently appears in photographs, film and television dominates the island, which lies about 1 kilometre (0.62 miles) from the village of Dornie. Eilean Donan is named after Donnán of Eigg, a Celtic saint martyred in 617. The castle was founded in the thirteenth century, and became a stronghold of the Clan Mackenzie and their allies the Clan Macrae. In the early eighteenth century the Mackenzie's involvement in the Jacobite rebellions led in 1719 to the castle's destruction by government ships. Lieutenant-Colonel John Macrae-Gilstrap's twentieth-century reconstruction of the ruins produced the present buildings.
