1900-1920 AD. A unique white metal continental silver desk ornament or paperweight figure of Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805 AD), standing, holding hat and cloak; the figure based on six deckle-edged discs of dark blue and red British naval uniform fabric with thick card stiffener beneath and with sterling silver hallmarked base plate with maker's mark 'JD' within triangular cartouche and no date letter. 90 grams, 12.5cm tall (5"). Property of a Harwich, Essex, UK charity appeal; by donation. The figure of Nelson is the handle element of a cast spoon produced by a German maker, possibly J. D. Schleissner, in continental 800 fine silver in the late 19th century; the addition of naval uniform fabric discs as a base suggest that this item was specially commissioned for presentation to someone involved in naval tailoring, perhaps for a member of a firm who made uniforms for Nelson himself, such as Guives and Hawkes of London who have been military and naval tailors since 1771. This item is accompanied by pictures of an example of the original spoon from which the figure was taken. [No Reserve] Fine condition.

*Blake (William, 1757-1827). Standing King Holding a Sceptre, a fortified town behind, circa 1819, pencil on wove paper, showing a full-length male figure wearing a crown and holding a staff before the walls of a castle, with colour-notes inscribed 'Lt. Pl' on the figure's robe, 'gold' on hem of cloak, and 'w' on sleeve and skirt, probably by John Varley, 200 x 155 mm (8 x 6 ins), framed and double-glazed, with later 20th century handwritten notes in ink on paper attached to verso Provenance: John Varley; William Christian Selle, thence to Selle's daughter who married H. Buxton Forman, by whom given to William Bell Scott in 1870; Miss Alice Boyd, Penkill Castle, passed 1897 to her niece Miss Eleanor Margaret Courtney-Boyd, passed 1946 to her niece Miss Evelyn May Courtney-Boyd; M.D.E. Clayton-Stamm, 1967; sold Christie's 15 June 1971, where purchased by the family of the present owner. Butlin, The Paintings and Drawings of William Blake (1981), 692, 73-74. From the small Blake-Varley Sketchbook of 1819, published in facsimile by Martin Butlin in 1971. Exhibited at the Tate Gallery, London, from 1969 to 1971. During 1819 and for some time thereafter, William Blake made a large number of pencil drawings known as Visionary Heads in the company of his friend the landscape painter and astrologer John Varley. Varley was Blake's close companion from their first meeting in 1819 until Blake's death in 1827. Of the three sketchbooks used by Blake, the first is known as the smaller Blake-Varley Sketchbook (Butlin 692), the second as the larger Blake-Varley Sketchbook (discovered in 1989), and the folio Blake-Varley Sketchbook (undiscovered, although individual drawings from this album have been identified). Varley had been introduced to Blake by his pupil John Linnell, and the meetings during which the drawings were made took place (according to Alexander Gilchrist, Blake's first biographer), 'During the favourable and fitting hours of night; from nine or ten in the evening to one or two, perhaps three and four o'clock in the morning'. Both Blake and Varley were interested in physiognamy, astrology, and the related science of phrenology. Gilchrist describes these visionary s‚ances in some detail: 'Varley it was who encouraged Blake to take authentic sketches of certain among his most frequent spiritual visitants. The Visionary faculty was so much under control, that, at the wish of a friend, he could summon before his abstracted gaze any of the familiar forms and faces he was asked for. This was during the favourable and befitting hours of night; from nine or ten in the evening, until one or two, or perhaps three and four o'clock, in the morning; Varley sitting by, 'sometimes slumbering, and sometimes waking'.' Varley would say, 'Draw me Moses,' or David; or would call for a likeness of Julius Caesar, or Cassibellaunus, or Edward the Third, or some other great historical personage. Blake would answer, 'There he is!' and paper and pencil being at hand, he would begin drawing with the utmost alacrity and composure, looking up from time to time as though he had a real sitter before him...'. (Gilchrist, Life of William Blake, Pictor Ignotus 1863, page 251). (1)

He died in 1918 in his 80's having been retired for a number of years, so I am presuming that it came into his possession in the late 1800's.

Constantine II, as Caesar, AV Solidus. Treveri, AD 326-327. FL CL CONSTANTINVS IVN N C, laureate head right / PRINCIPI IVVENTVTIS, Constantine II standing right, in military attire and with cloak spread, holding transverse spear in right hand and globe in left; TR in exergue. RIC 500; Alföldi 347; Depeyrot 31/1. 4.58g, 20mm, 6h. Good Extremely Fine. Very Rare. From the Ambrose Collection; Ex Andre Constantine Dimitriadis Collection; Ex Dreesmann Collection, Spink London, 13 April 2000, lot 150. With his defeat of Licinius in 324, Constantine I finally secured sole rule over the empire, thus conferring greater responsibilities onto the capable shoulders of his son and heir Crispus. The young Caesar had been appointed Commander of Gaul after his accession in 317, and had shown himself to be a highly capable military commander on both land and sea. His successful command at the naval engagement of the Hellespont and of part of the army at Chrysopolis contributed significantly to Constantine’s victory over Licinius. Crispus was honoured with statues, mosaics and cameos. Yet in 326 Constantine mysteriously ordered the execution of his beloved son, apparently at the instigation of his wife Fausta, motivated by jealousy and ambition, who falsely claimed Crispus had attempted to rape her. This led to the elevation of Constantine II as commander of Gaul in the same year, despite his being only ten at the time. Depicted here possessing the clear likeness of his father, the young Caesar is also portrayed on the reverse in his role as Prince of Youth, armed and garbed in military dress. An important part of the imperial propaganda, this coinage was intended to inspire public confidence in Constantine Caesar and to reassure the population of the empire that the line of succession remained secure.

BATMAN BEGINS (2005) - Batman's Batsuit Batman's Batsuit from the superhero action film Batman Begins, directed by Christopher Nolan. Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) wore his Batsuit as he battled the Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy) and his mentor, Ra’s al Ghul (Liam Neeson), to save Gotham City from destruction. In the film, the Batsuit was created from mothballed military research equipment housed in the Applied Sciences Division of Wayne Enterprises, run by Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), who helped update the design. The design was superseded by a refined Batsuit in The Dark Knight. The costume was designed by Academy Award®-winner Lindy Hemming, with cowl and armour sculpts by Julian Murray. The design of the suit drew inspiration from more recent comic iterations of the Dark Knight’s iconic costume, though the construction was very similar to previous film iterations created under Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher. The cowl was specifically sculpted to fit Bale’s face as snugly as possible, while the cloak was designed to flutter lightly behind Batman as he moved. Hemming would later receive a BAFTA Award®-nomination for her contribution to The Dark Knight. The costume’s key components are Batman’s trademark cowl (marked'194' internally), and a body suit made up of figure-hugging torso armour and separate leg and abdominal armour cast over a mesh-fabric leotard with zip-up stirrups. A groin piece with a box fitted to protect the performer during the film’s fight sequences was worn under the rubber utility belt(marked 'Buster rubber' internally), which is finished in faux-brass paint and secured with cable ties at the rear. A lightweight faux-velvet cape is secured to the costume’s chest. The bracers – both left-handed versions– are made of black vinyl, with rubber blades along the forearms. Both the torso armour and belt are emblazoned with the signature bat symbol. A pair of rubber gloves and black leather boots (size 9) complete the outfit. The costume displays some wear from use and age, with small cracks and tears present in the foam rubber of the cowl and upper body armour, and some loose stitching on the left glove. The Batsuit is presented on a mannequin for display purposes. This lot is supplied with a Warner Bros. certificate of authenticity in place of a Prop Store certificate. Payment plan on this item is restricted to a duration of one month. Please contact us for further information. VAT Status - DAGGER
