Lot 506
14th century AD and later. A mixed group of items, formerly the property of Charles F. Spink and retrieved from his personal writing desk, comprising: (A) three English lead-alloy medieval pilgrim badges being: (i) a standing mailed figure with sword in left hand and mitre-style headdress, possibly depicting St Thomas Beckett, affixed below (ii) a delicate Gothic 'triptych' type openwork tracery surround, both mounted on a 19th century card with inked manuscript 'Queenhithe 1867' inscription; with (iii) another openwork pilgrim badge with small card label bearing inked manuscript 'Steel Yard 1863 / 623 Part' inscription in two lines; (B) an original photograph mounted on card showing a family group sitting in a veteran car with two other ladies standing alongside and bearing the inked manuscript 'Charles Frederick Spink / at the wheel of / the first car in Chislehurst' inscription in three lines to the reverse; (C) a modern photograph of Charles Spink's personal writing desk; (D) a Spink & Son Ltd Exhibition of Ancient Sculptures Vases and Bronzes, catalogue, undated but refers to '...difficulties arising out of War conditions.....' so believed to be from the 1914-1919 period; (E) a Spink & Son Ltd Illustrated Catalogue of a Selection of Egyptian and Babylonian Antiques, retail priced catalogue; (F) a Spink & Son Ltd printed flyer relating to 'Old Canton Enamel'; (G) a manuscript letter on printed Spink & Son letterhead on the subject of 'Some Jewish Coins' listing a number of coins with prices, believed to be in the hand of Charles Frederick Spink; (H) a typescript letter signed by A P Oppe on printed Victoria & Albert Museum letterhead with mourning edges following the death of Edward VII, dated 16 December 1910, accepting the gift from Charles Spink of a 'specimen of old Chinese lacquer, illustrating the process of manufacture by super-imposed layers'; (I) two specimens of Chinese lacquer of the same form as described in the V&A letter which same held together in an old envelope with manuscript '3 pieces of Chinese Lacquer in colours' with the '3' struck through; (J) a copper printing plate for the private visiting card of Charles F. Spink of 'FORD BANK / ST LEONARDS ON SEA' in two lines; (K) an early 19th century coin box with top and base formed from two 1799 farthings of George III and containing grains of barley with a card slip bearing the inked manuscript 'Egyptian Barley / 2500 years old' annotation in two lines; (L) a small glass corked phial bearing the inked manuscript label 'Gold Pellets' to the outside; (M) a carved wood ethnographic art phial with linear ornament and side loop, with brass wire binding around neck. See Mitchiner, M., Medieval Pilgrim & Secular Badges, London, 1986; Spencer, B., Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges, Woodbridge, 2010. 630 grams total, 4-24cm (1 1/2 - 9 1/2"). Property of a Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, UK, reverend; by inheritance and descent from the collections of Charles Frederick Spink (1878-1945); holder of the Royal Warrant to provide medals for Queen Victoria and dealer in fine arts with the firm Spink & Son; the pilgrim badges found in London at Queenhithe, 1867 and at Steel Yard, 1863. The objects in this group were all the property of Charles Frederick Spink (1878-1945) at the time of his death and were kept in his private writing desk, of 'William and Mary' date (1690-1700); item (C) is a photograph of this desk showing the arrangement of drawers and slots in which the items were held. Charles was a member of his family firm Spink & Son Ltd, long-established dealers and auctioneers in fine arts, antiquities and coins and makers of medals and orders, including for the Royal Family and internationally; the firm famously continues to the present day. The pilgrim badges are interesting, and it is no exaggeration to say that the gothic tracery (item Aii) is a remarkable survival and largely intact (see Spencer, 2010, items 86 and 142 for similar but much smaller specimens of the type"). The armoured figure (item Ai) is of a type which appears in depictions of the martyrdom of Archbishop Thomas Becket, St. Alban (Mitchener, 1986, item 249) or St. Edmund (Mitchener, 1986, item 247) where the physical violence of the martyr's death is emphasised. [13] Fine condition. The pilgrim badges exceptional and rare.
