Byron had come into possession of Newstead Abbey on the death of his great-uncle in 1798. Mary Ann, two years his senior, was a distant relative of Byron's and she lived nearby in Annesley. The two properties were adjoining and over the course of the summer months Byron's devotion towards Mary Ann blossomed. As an expression of his affection, he offered her a present of this jewellery garnet set, which consists of a necklace, earrings and bracelet in a leather case. He did not succeed in winning her hand, as unfortunately, Chaworth was already engaged to John Musters and she was married two years later. While Chaworth does not seem to have been greatly affected by this incident, for Byron his unrequited love had a lasting effect on his character. This first love continued to influence Byron's whole life and career and he later wrote 'Had I married Miss Chaworth, perhaps the whole tenor of my life would have been different'. She was the subject of his poem 'The Dream' written in 1816. Over a century later, during the first world war, the garnet jewellery set was auctioned at a sale in Nottingham to raise money for the Red Cross. It was here that it was purchased by the current owner's great grandfather, with a letter stating that it was a present from Lord Byron to Mary Ann. This letter was believed to be have been a note recorded by the family many years before the sale of the garnet set in Nottingham. It is also believed that a portrait existed of Mary Ann Chaworth in which she is shown wearing the garnets.

Three Wimshurst pattern electrostatic generating machines, Unsigned, early 20th centuryThe first with twin contra-rotating glass discs applied with brass lozenges centred with silvered metal buttons at regular intervals pivoted between two wooden uprights also supporting two pairs of nickel-plates electrostatic friction arms, flanked by comb pickups applied to insulated arms connected to Leyden jars at each end and with pivoted discharge arms above, the base with crank handle driving wooden drive pulleys, on bun feet (discs damaged), 46cm (18ins) wide; the other two smaller with Bakelite discs and cast iron frames, each approx. 25.5cm (10ins) wide. James Wimshurst (1832 - 1903) was an inventor and engineer who developed the type of contra-rotating disc design of electrostatic generator included in the present lot. Such machines operate by having two insulated discs and their metal sectors rotate in opposite directions passing the crossed metal neutralizer bars and their brushes. An imbalance of charges is induced, amplified, and collected by two pairs of metal combs with points placed near the surfaces of each disc. These collectors are mounted on insulating supports and connected to the output terminals. The positive feedback increases the accumulating charges exponentially until the dielectric breakdown voltage of the air is reached and an electric spark jumps across the gap.
