JOHN LENNON - John Lennon's First Ever Vox Amp - Fawn JMI Vox AC15 Twin - A 1962 Fawn JMI Vox AC15 Twin amplifier used and owned by John Lennon during his time in The Beatles. Lennon purchased this amp in 1962 and it was the first-ever Vox amp he used as part of The Fab Four. It is arguably one of the most significant Beatles and Lennon artefacts to come to market. It was the catalyst in forming the early tone and sound of one of The Beatles, considered one of the most influential bands of all time. The amp was used in many early live performances as well as the recording of The Beatles first album Please, Please Me recorded at Abbey Road studios. The history of this item was recently covered in a comprehensive article by Guitar World.When Brian Epstein became The Beatles' manager, he decided to completely overhaul their public image, including upgrading the equipment they used to perform. Lennon and Epstein visited Hessy's Music in Liverpool and hire-purchased a Fawn Vox AC15 Twin amp in July 1962 for £123, making four payments over the next few months. A scan of the original hire-purchase agreement can be seen on page 572 of the book Vox Amplifiers: The JMI Years by Jim Elyea. On the agreement, the amp's serial number was incorrectly noted as "1583" when, at that time, the serial numbers would have been in the 4000 range, so it was actually "4583". George Harrison also acquired a Vox Fawn AC30 Twin amp around the same time. Lennon can be seen using the amplifier extensively during the early days of The Beatles' rise to fame, including the only known film footage of them performing at the world famous Cavern Club, Liverpool on August 22 1962, four days after their newly appointed drummer, Ringo Starr had joined the band. This was the birth of what we now know as the legendary Fab Four. As well as many early live performances, the amp can be seen at the Abbey Road studios during the recording of the album Please Please Me in which Lennon's distinct Vox guitar tone can be heard on such tracks as "Love Me Do", "Please, Please Me", "How Do You Do It?" and P.S. I Love You". Photographs taken by Bill Connell and Les Chadwick on 22 August 1962 document The Beatles rehearsing at the Cavern Club and show the Vox amp being used by Lennon. As Starr officially joined the group four days earlier on 18 August, these may be some of the first images to feature him as part of the band. The amp can also be seen in photos taken during the Please Please Me recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios in Studio 2 which took place in September 1962. In these images, Lennon's Vox AC15 is equipped with chrome stand, as opposed to George Harrison's Vox AC30, which has no stand. As the band's popularity grew and their touring schedule increased, in early 1963 Brian Epstein secured an endorsement deal with Vox for their exclusive use of the brand and in return Vox would supply the band with amplifiers. Recent research shows the original Beatles Fawn amplifiers can be seen being used as late as November 1963 and possibly beyond and were used in conjunction with the new Black amplifiers due to the band's extensive schedules. Notable later performances where these amps can be seen in 1963 include January 31st at Birkenhead, March 7th at Harrogate and November 1963 in Ireland.The amp comprises a pine cabinet with a fawn Rexine exterior. A previous owner of the amp, unaware of its link to Lennon and The Beatles, decided to paint its exterior matt black. This coat of paint has been meticulously removed to expose the amplifiers original Fawn covering, this along with period correct brown diamond-patterned grille-cloth and Goodman Alnico Speakers has restored the amplifier to its original 1962 Lennon, Beatles format. The top side features three leather handles and various controls, including six black pointer knobs and a voltage selector switch. A Vox Amplifier plaque on the back displays the model number "AC15" and the serial number "4358", as mentioned in Vox Amplifiers: The JMI Years. It is powered by an attached UK plug and cable and comes with a single-button Vox foot switch. The lot also includes a contemporary wheeled flight case and a metal tubular stand. The amp's exterior exhibits signs of age, including general scuffing. Some of the Rexine has peeled away, revealing the pine underneath, and there are small holes in the grille-cloth cover. However, the lot remains in remarkable overall condition, considering its age and history. This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to own a key piece of vintage equipment that established the sound of the Beatles. This lot is accompanied by a printed still.Dimensions (amp): 26.5 cm x 69.5 cm x 51 cm (10.5" x 27.25" x 20"); (displayed on stand): 35 cm x 91 cm x 94 cm (13.75" x 35.75" x 37")Special shipping required: see special shipping notice in the Buyer's Guide.Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide.Estimate: £100,000 - 200,000 M Bidding for this lot will end on Friday, November 15th.

A PAIR OF FAMILLE ROSE TUREEN STANDS WITH THE COAT-OF-ARMS OF CAYETANO PIGNATELLIQianlong, circa 1769Delicately enamelled to the centre with the arms of Cayetano Pignatelli, Marquis of Rubí, within a pink rocaille band below the foliate rim. Each 38.5cm (15 1/4in) wide. (2).Footnotes:清乾隆(約1769年) 粉彩魯比侯爵卡耶塔諾·皮尼亞特利家族紋章瓷湯盆托盤一對Provenance: an English private collection來源: 英國私人收藏For the arms, see Rocío Díaz, Chinese Armorial Porcelain for Spain, London, 2010, no.20. Díaz notes that the present service, commissioned for Cayetano Pignatelli, Marquis of Rubí, departed Manila in December 1769 and arrived in Cádiz, Spain, in August 1770 aboard the Spanish vessel Buen Consejo. Detailed documentation of this shipment, housed in the General Archive of the Indies (Archivo General de Indias), includes a cargo register listing the Marquis of Rubí's service, along with customs clearance papers submitted in Cádiz. According to these papers, the original service comprised 542 pieces distributed in five crates, though 130 pieces were reported broken upon inspection by officials of the Royal House of Trade in Cádiz. Chinese export porcelain services with such precise documentation are rare, providing scholars with invaluable insights into the vibrant trade between China and the West during the 18th century.Cayetano Pignatelli was born in Barcelona in 1730 and by 1752 had already assumed the title of Marquis of Rubí and the rank of colonel of the Naples Infantry Regiment. In 1764, he participated in an expedition aimed at creating a regular army in New Spain, modelled after European structures. Tasked with inspecting the presidios (garrisons) along the northern frontier, Pignatelli's efforts led to the issuance of the New Regulations for Presidios in 1772. These regulations, based on his recommendations, reorganized Spain's defensive positions from the Gulf of California to the mouth of the Guadalupe River in Texas.See one similar famille rose armorial tureen stand with the same coat-of-arms, Qianlong, which was sold at Christie's London, 30 April 2015, lot 109.
