Collection of silver jewellery, including a choker necklace, articulated design with a bow to the centre, five ingot pendants, four with chains, a French 5 franc 1845 coin pendant, a horseshoe pendant, two hinged bangles, and an open bangle SILVER COLLECTION OF SIR RAY TINDLE CBE DL 1926-2022 The following obituary (edited) was published by Tindle Newspapers: Sir Ray Tindle was a man who had a life-long commitment to, and passion for, the newspaper industry. He was a newspaper man through and through.After leaving school he enlisted in the 1st Battalion Devonshire Regiment and saw service in the Far East between 1944 and 1947, rising to the rank of captain.He was extremely proud of his association with the now-disbanded regiment and greatly mourned its passing, going so far as to name his previous home in Farnham Devonshire House in its honour.Sir Ray made the Surrey town his home in the 1960s and made such an impact in the following 50 years that he was known by locals as Mr Farnham. If a charity or organisation needed help, Sir Ray was there. He eventually stepped down as Chairman of Tindle Newspapers when he was 90, remaining as president, with son Owen, who runs the Oxon Hoath Retreat and Conference Centre in Kent, taking over as Chairman.After returning to the UK after the War,Sir Ray acquired his first newspaper title, the Tooting & Balham Gazette, with his £300 demob payment. It was to be the first of many and, over the years through a series of launches and acquisitions, the group grew to a considerable force under the collective banner of Tindle Newspapers Ltd. It now owns local papers and radio stations covering large parts of Surrey, Hampshire, Essex, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, Wales, Ireland, the Channel Isles and the Isle of Man. Many of these papers are very long established, including the Monmouthshire Beacon founded in 1837.Others were launched in Queen Victorias reign, such as the Farnham Herald (1892), Cambrian News (1860), Cornish & Devon Post (1856), Mid-Devon Advertiser (1863) and the Tenby Observer (1853).The Tindle Group became the fourth largest UK local newspaper group by number of titles published.Sir Ray was a man of immense self-belief and iron determination, as characterised by his coat of arms, carried by all his newspapers, with the Latin motto Noli Cedere, which translates as Never Surrender.He retired as Chairman of the Surrey Advertiser in 1977 after 35 years. He was also a director for 18 years on the main board of The Guardian & Manchester Evening News, and Chairman for ten years of the Belfast News Letter, the UKs oldest provincial daily. He was a founder shareholder and, for many years, an alternate director, of Capital Radio.He became Master of the Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers in 1985 after some 20 years of service on several committees and of the Court.Over the years he also donated sizeable sums to various worthy causes and projects, particularly in and around his hometown of Farnham.In 1973 Sir Ray was appointed OBE for services to the newspaper industry and in 1987 he was appointed CBE. In 1989 he became a Deputy Lieutenant for the County of Surrey. He was knighted in 1994 andwas made the Newspaper Personality of the Year at the 2005 Newspaper Awards, in the same year becoming an honorary vice-president of the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain.Sir Ray died as he would have wished, still committed to the media empire he had so painstakingly created over the course of a long and distinguished career.He was an avid collector of silver, and his collection is being sold by the estate in this auction.Condition Report: Gross weight 284 grams

SEAMAN SCHEPPS: ART DECO DIAMOND AND ROCK CRYSTAL CLASP, CIRCA 1935-40The openwork rectangular plaque set throughout with old brilliant-cut diamonds, between diamond-set semi-cylindrical rock crystal batons, to a four-row imitation pearl choker necklace, clasp signed Seaman Schepps, diamonds approximately 9.00cts total, lengths: clasp 6cm, necklace 26cm shortestFootnotes:Seaman Schepps (1881-1972) opened his first store in California in 1904 before relocating to his native New York in 1921. Schepps expanded his business and acquired a second location a few years later but the economic crisis of 1929 forced him to close his doors. He used this time to reassess his strategy and focus on new designs, eventually reopening at a prestigious address on Madison Avenue in 1934 with renewed energy and direction.His imaginative designs featured a bold combination of precious, semi-precious and organic gems that would define his style and earn him a loyal following amongst high profile socialites and cultural icons. Beloved by Katherine Hepburn, the Roosevelts, the Rockefellers, the Duchess of Windsor and Andy Warhol, Seaman Schepps came to be crowned, 'America's Court Jeweller'. Upon his death in 1972, his daughter, Patricia Schepps Vaill took over the running of the business, honouring her father's distinctive flair for creating bold statement jewels of which the present lot is a fine and rare early example.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

CLAUDE LALANNE: 'NOEUD' BANGLE, CIRCA 1980Realistically modelled as a ribbon bow with leaf terminals, and a textured finish simulating fabric, signed C.Lalanne, numbered 92/100, internal diameter 5.5cmFootnotes:One of the art world's longest-standing surrealist pioneers, Claude Lalanne (1924-2019) designed furniture and sculpture alongside her husband Francois-Xavier Lalanne, and her delicate, sculptural jewellery is inspired by the natural world. She designed windows for Christian Dior and was known from the 1960s for her mastery of life-casting. Yves Saint Laurent commissioned her to create sculpted busts and waists in bronze for his Autumn/Winter 1969 Haute Couture Collection, which fitted over billowing blue dresses dubbed 'Les Robes Lalanne'. The courturier observed, 'What touches me is how she brings together the same high standard of craftsmanship and poetry. Those beautiful sculptor's hands seem to push aside the mists of mystery to reach the shores of art'. Surrounded by her furniture and animal sculptures at her atelier in Ury, near Fontainebleau, Lalanne worked with the doors flung open to her garden, while translating forms inspired by flora and fauna into lasting jewels. She would submerge flowers, plants and butterflies she had found, using a meticulous electroplating process to cover them with a delicate metallic layer, immortalising these organic subjects and breathing life into their castings. Her husband said of her, 'Claude works as the birds sing, without really thinking about it'. Brambles, cherry blossoms, snakes, butterfly orchids, buttercups and gooseberries all passed through her hands. The 1980s and 1990s are considered Lalanne's golden era by collectors of her work, which possesses a delicate and whimsical beauty. Lalanne also produced a choker to match this bracelet.Lots 36-42 are from a Private Collection of Artist Jewellery.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
