A 1997 haute couture 'Vivienne Westwood' Wedding Dress. This dress was specially made by Vivienne Westwood in 1997, to be worn in the snow. Zermatt, Switzerland was the location and the dress was worn with a ruby and diamond tiara once belonging to the Romanov family. The dress is made from a longhaired velvet, resembling fur. The velvet is made from silk rayon and has a shimmering sheen. Designed to mimic the 1930's, it has a corseted bodice, boned and structured to form a curvaceous silhouette. The corset is fastened at the back with a zip, hooks and eyes. The skirt is tightly fitted with a 19th century bustle at the side of the skirt, falling narrowly to almost a hobble and following through to a fishtail train. The deep red of the silk velvet cloak, with long trains flowing from the arms, in unison with the dress and fishtail, all contribute to the quirky non-conformist, rebelliousness that is so classically Vivienne Westwood. Size 8/10 (2) (Please get in touch for measurements).

A carved stone polychrome decorated figure group of the Pieta, possibly lower Austria, mid 15th century82cm high, 80cm wide, 32cm deepProvenanceGraham Cornall Antiques, MelbourneThis polychrome limestone sculpture represents the Pieta, in which the Virgin Mary cradles the dead body of her son. While the most famous example of this image type is the sculpture by Michelangelo in St Peter’s Basilica, the subject is derived from northern examples and was adopted quite late in Renaissance Italy. The Pieta, also referred to as Vesperbild, first appeared in German sculpture in around 1300 where early images often show the body positioned vertically, similar to depictions of the Deposition from the Cross, and also draw attention to the wounded, emaciated body. As the subject became more widespread, varied iconographies emerged. The type we see in this work, where Christ’s body lies horizontally across his mother’s lap, probably developed first in France. This image, which became especially popular, draws a symbolic connection between the lap of the Virgin and the Church altar on which, according to Catholic doctrine, the Eucharistic body of her son lies. The image therefore emphasized the salvific nature of Christ’s sacrifice and the redemptive power of the sacrament. Indeed, here the body is tilted up towards the viewer to accentuate the devotional focus on his humanity.The subject of the Pieta probably derived from mystical and popular devotional writings where events in between those described in the Gospels are imagined, suggesting an insight into the human, emotional responses of holy figures. Here the notion of Mary’s response to the death of her son and her cradling of his body before he is entombed is articulated with great sensitivity. Mary supports her son’s head with her right hand, while her left holds the edge of her cloak at her chest, suggesting that she is about to wipe her tears (as she is shown doing in numerous other Pieta sculptures). The faces of the figures are especially beautiful; Christ’s is gentle and relaxed while the Virgin’s subtly but very effectively suggests her sorrow. She looks not at her son, as is the norm for Pieta imagery, but to the distance; a detail that invests the image with a more meditative and poignant tone.As the sculpture is relatively well finished at the back and has a carved out section at the lower rear where it was anchored, it seems possible that it was originally positioned on a tomb. The subject probably, therefore, was intended to comfort the grieving. The composition of the figures demonstrates the extraordinary skill of the artist. It appears entirely natural, even ‘though in reality such a grouping would likely be awkward and unfeasible.Dr. Bronwyn Stocks

The glamorous Gentleman Highwayman James Hind 17th c Robin Hood English Civil War Pamphlet The Declaration of Captain James Hind (close Prisoner in Newgate)^ 6pp small 4to plus title page with an engraved vignette portrait of Hind to front cover^ slight dusting and very slight foxing. Hind^ a Royalist^ grew up as a butchers assistant in Chipping Norton^ Oxfordshire^ but ran away to London where he teamed up with Thomas Allen a prominent Highwayman of the time. Together they actually attempted to rob Oliver Cromwell himself in company with his bodyguards^ but they were overpowered. Allen was taken and executed but Hind managed to escape^ and continued a legendary career. Among his many other glamorous exploits^ he famously robbed Hugh Peters^ one of the Regicides who had signed the death warrant of Charles I^ stealing 30 large pieces of gold and symbolically taking his cloak as a mark of humiliation. Many folk stories grew up about Hind and particularly his alleged kindness to the poor^ so that he became to the people of the mid-17th c a Robin Hood figure. He was eventually captured in December 1651 and executed the following year^ his head and his four quarters being displayed on gibbets on the town gates at Reading.
