A Cyril Castle navy cashmere double-breasted Chesterfield coat made for Sir Roger Moore in Live And Let Die1973Comprising a navy blue coat with velvet collar and rolled buttoned cuffs, labelled to inner inside pocket 'Cyril A Castle, 42 Conduit St. London W1', and handwritten 'R. Moore', dated in pen 'Sept. '72'; production-made, identical to the one seen in Sir Roger Moore's first scene as James Bond in Live And Let DieFootnotes:'Well you just keep on the tail of that jukebox, and there's an extra twenty in it for you'- James Bond [Sir Roger Moore] in Live And Let Die (1973)The present Lot marks an important moment in cinematic history, being the first article of clothing worn by Sir Roger Moore in his debut as James Bond in Live And Let Die. In the film, the cashmere coat with velvet collar is buttoned up over a matching navy Worsted flannel suit, also by tailor Cyril Castle. Bond arrives as the Pan Am Worldport at JFK airport to begin his mission in Manhattan. Later, as Mr Big (Yaphet Kotto) departs by car in front of the Oh Cult Voodoo Shop, James Bond emerges from a side door and follows him uptown towards Harlem in a New York taxi cab. Unbeknownst to Bond, he is being tracked at every street corner and even from within the cab.The use of the Chesterfield coat in Moore's Bond debut is reminiscent of the Sinclair navy Chesterfield overcoat worn by Sean Connery in his first Bond film, Dr. No (1962). The coat is evidently of personal importance to Sir Roger himself, having been kept and looked after by him and his family for half a century.Please note that the shirt, trousers and tie are for illustrative purposes only and are not included in the lot.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A GEORGE I OAK BOOKCASE POSSIBLY BY THOMAS RIPLEY CIRCA 1725 The fabric lined glazed doors enclosing adjustable shelves, the panelled doors enclosing drawers with gilt metal ring handles and handwritten ink labels 'Leases...Cottage Agreements... Farm Agreements...Papers relating to the leasehold lands under Christ Church...', inscribed in paint twice to the back 'RW' 270cm high, 198cm wide, 62cm deep Provenance: Almost certainly supplied to Sir Robert Walpole, later 1st Earl of Orford (1676-1745) or his son, Robert, 2nd Earl of Orford (1700-1751) for Houghton Hall, Norfolk and by descent at Houghton. Property of the Marquess of Cholmondeley, Houghton Hall, Norfolk, Christie's, London, Important English Furniture and Carpets, 24 November 2005, lot 29, where purchased by Robert Kime. Literature: G. Nares, 'Wolterton Hall, Norfolk - II: The Home of Lord Walpole', Country Life, 25 July 1957, pp. 166-169. A. Bowett, 'Thomas Ripley and the Use of Early Mahogany', The Georgian Group Journal, 1997, pp. 140-145. A. Moore, E. Bottoms, 'A New Walpole Discovery', The Burlington Magazine, January 2006, pp. 34-37. ed. T. Murdoch, Noble Households: Eighteenth-Century Inventories of Great English Houses, Cambridge, 2006. In 1722 building commenced of Houghton Hall for Sir Robert Walpole, Britain's first Prime Minister. From 1725 William Kent decorated the interior and designed furniture for the state rooms. This bookcase is probably the 'wainscot bookcase with plate glass doors' recorded at Houghton Hall in 1792 in room 'No. 86 Stewards office' (Murdoch, p. 198). In 1722, building on Houghton began for Sir Robert Walpole, 1st Earl of Orford (1676-1745), Britain's first Prime Minister. From 1725, the Palladian architect and designer, William Kent (c. 1685-1745), was employed to design the interiors and furniture of the state rooms. However, this bookcase was possibly designed by Thomas Ripley, who prior to becoming an architect and Surveyor in the Royal Office of Works trained as a carpenter. Ripley acted as building supervisor at Houghton, and from 1727, designed Wolterton Hall, Norfolk, and in the 1730s, a house in the Cockpit, Whitehall, for Walpole. Ripley used mahogany extensively for the interior wainscotting, doors, door-cases and stairs at Houghton, all of which were heavily carved and richly detailed (Bowett, p. 142). The use of mahogany on such a scale suggests that in the early years mahogany was considered suitable for joinery being no more costly than wainscot. Walpole's mahogany was shipped from Jamaica to King's Lynn via London from mid-1724, and it was Ripley who organised the freight, lighterage (transferring cargo between vessels of different sizes) and storage for the shipments. After the 1720s, the fashion for mahogany as a furniture wood superseded its employment as architectural joinery. The Houghton archives show that after the initial phase of building was completed, Ripley was paid the substantial sum of £500; this probably included payment for further alterations to the house and stable block and the designing of the church tower (PRO C101/19). As the payment is not itemised, presumably it may have also included furniture. Certainly, Ripley's correspondence in the Wolterton archive shows he was responsible for the hanging of the pictures, and possibly designed frames for the royal portraits there suggesting he may have designed furniture as well (Nares, p. 166). Condition Report: Overall there are scratches, marks, knocks, cracks and abrasions consistent with age and use.There are some losses, restorations and observations including:There are some chips, splits and loose sections of wood in particular to some corner and edge sections, and to the bracket feetSome sections are missing, for example the lower border beneath the wood panelled doors, and some other elements are later, for example the side moulding between the top and the base.There are traces of white paint, presumably from when the room this bookcase was in was painted.There is some evidence of worm.Three of the shelves are later pine replacements, all shelves have a front moulding and two shelves to the glazed section have metal hinged latches to hold fast the doors.One of the backboards has a circular hole cut to it, possibly for an electric cable.The interior oak drawers have oak linings and gilt brass ring handles, one of the rings is missing. Each drawer front has a pale filled hole to each corner which is probably original filler over the nail or peg construction of the drawers.Lacking some original handles to the glazed doors. There are two keys for the glazed doors, one of which turns one of the locks. The locks to the glazed doors are Georgian but later to this bookcase cast with the maker's name 'PATENT UNION LOCK / ROBT. KEMP PATENT / G.R. under a coronet / R&T FARMER / PROPRIETORS AND MANUFACTURERS ' Lacking three handles to the panelled doors, there are no keys for the lower door locks, and there are filled holes from previous fittings.The brass hinges are of notable quality, they are substantial, have chamfered edges, are wide opening and have an extra outset section that is inset into the doors.The glazed doors have almost imperceptibly bevel cut glass, the subtle almost slightly rounded cuts, rather than sharp angular bevelled edges. The green fabric is a chintz or glazed cotton of almost paper like quality, still with distinct folds where the fabric has been previously folded. It has faded, in some places, to an almost golden colour, with some splashed fading. The fabric has some repairs including later sewn tape to the base of one door and another, possibly original, inset sectionThe cut of the oak whether dark or pale displays exceptional medullary rays.Please see the additional condition report photographs as a visual reference of condition.

A GEORGE II RED AND GILT JAPANNED LONGCASE CLOCK STEPHEN ASSELIN, LONDON, CIRCA 1725 The eight-day bell-striking movement with 12 inch brass break-arch dial applied with mask and foliate spandrels, a silvered Roman and arabic chapter ring, matt centre and subsidiary STRIKE/SILENT selection dial to the arch, signed on a silvered plaque 'Step.

He is not recorded as becoming a member of the Clockmaker's Company which suggests that he was most likely a Huguenot immigrant.   Condition Report: Movement is essentially in working condition however mechanism is dirty/dusty hence a clean/service is required. Notches cut the 3 o'clock edges of the plates indicates that an alarm mechanism was once fitted that is no longer present. Otherwise movement appears complete and all-original. The dial in in original albeit in dirty/neglected condition. The centre shows evidence of being fitted with an alarm disc (curved cut-outs to the seconds ring and signature plate). The areas of silvering are now very thin presenting as almost brass in colour. The right-hand corner of the plate has evidence of being bent and re-straightened; the dial foot behind also has a small loss to the tip (section above the securing pin hole). The right-hand mount to the arch is missing a fin from the dolphin. The hour hand has been repaired; the minute hand and selection pointer to the arch are replacements. The seatboard is original to the movement which rests on blocks applied to the case uprights (cheek); the presence of these blocks suggests that the movement and dial re not original to the case. The dial sits a little wonky (leans to the right) hence some adjustment to the blocks will be required to level it.The case is very original retaining old surface in essentially untouched condition. The hood is in good original condition with notable faults limited to blind fret panels missing from the quadrants above the break-arch pediment and some historic worm damage. The rear of the superstructure is interestingly backed with old thick paper inscribed in ink with random Iberian text. The trunk and base are in very fine original condition with faults limited to some very slight localised flaking to the raised decoration; the finish can be best described as fine patinated old original surface with pleasing degree of age-related wear, discolouration and fading. The backboard is in fine condition and the skirting is also original albeit with historic worm damage and a small scarf repair to inner panel to the rear left hand corner. The left-hand side has some slight shrinkage cracking towards the rear edge; the lock to the trunk door is a replacement.Clock has pendulum, a pair of modern cast iron weights a crank winder and a case key.

Y AN INDIAN HARDWOOD AND IVORY INLAID CABINET GUJERAT OR SINDH, LATE 17TH/EARLY 18TH CENTURY The doors enclosing nine drawers, the inlay to five sides, on a walnut notch carved stand in the Cotswold School taste The cabinet 25cm high, 38cm wide, 29cm deep; the stand 75cm high, 38.5cm wide, 30.5cm deep Provenance:Purchased by George Byng Esq MP (1764-1847) and by descent until sold, Christie's, London, Two Late Regency Collectors: Philip John Miles and George Byng, 9th June 2005, lot 173 where purchased by Robert Kime. Literature: 5 St James's Square, 1847 Inventory: 'BACK DRAWING ROOM a small India Cabinet enclosed by 2 doors and drawers inside.' Cabinets of this general type, inlaid with flowers in ivory onto a hardwood ground were made in north western India, in the provinces of Gujarat or Sindh, from the late 16th century. A similar cabinet is in the Victoria & Albert Museum, but with a fall front. The use of doors in this example may denote a European commission, reflecting as it does the more usual use of doors on a cabinet (see: https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O115588/cabinet-unknown/ and A. Jaffer, Luxury Goods from India..., London, 2002, no. 25). The cabinet was bought by George Byng, whose collecting reflected high fashions of the 1820s -1840s, in company with great collectors such as George Watson Taylor, William Beckford and the king, George IV. Byng's manuscript 'List of Furniture, Porcelain, Paintings &C. purchased by George Byng for Wrotham Park, 1816-43', testifies to his avariciousness for superb objects, paintings and furniture. He lived at Wrotham Park, begun by his great-uncle, the unfortunate naval officer executed following the loss of Menorca in 1757, completed by his father George Byng (d. 1789) and extended by his son, the collector, George Byng MP (d. 1847). Saleroom notice:This lot contains elephant ivory and is therefore subject to both CITES regulations and the UK Ivory Act 2018.

Prospective buyers are advised to familiarise themselves with the export and import restrictions prior to bidding. We will not be able to cancel your purchase if your lot may not be exported, imported or it is seized for any reason by a government authority. Dreweatts have applied for a de minimis exemption licence for the ivory in this lot (Ref: KCT1C37J) Condition Report: Correction to the original catalogue description - there are seven interior drawers, not nine as stated in the catalogue description, as the top drawer is inlaid to simulate three drawers but is in fact one long drawer.Overall there are some scratches, marks, knocks, cracks and abrasions consistent with age and use.There are some losses, restorations and observations including:The ivory has a light applied staining.Overall there are wood and ivory veneers that are missing.There are some areas, including the lower border of the back that are painted instead of inlaid - this is probably a repaired section, and there are other small areas of repair including some filler.The gilt metal escutcheons and hinges have good engraved detail, as do the ivory flowers which are finely engraved to the front, sides and the interior, though not to the back.The base is missing a section of the border.A notch to the edge of one door and a later lock to the other door, there is no key.There is some evidence of worm.Some drawers are missing handles.There is some later black paint around the edge of the interior.The stand shows few signs of wear.Please see the additional condition report photographs as a visual reference of condition.

Queen Victoria's eldest son Albert Edward, later King Edward VII, was born in 1841 and created the Prince of Wales later that year on 8th December. The inclusion of the Prince of Wales feathers on the arch suggests this may have been made to commemorate the newly conferred title. Condition Report: The movement is in fine original working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or notable replacements. The mechanism is a little dull/tarnished hence a gentle clean/service is advised if intending to put into service. The dial retains original gilding albeit a little dirty/tarnished. The numerals are rubbed and the chapter ring has some slight scratching to the burnished finish. The case is in fine original condition and of good colour. Notable faults are limited to losses and replacements to the slender strip of veneer bordering the front door aperture and some tape residue to the glass and lower rail if the rear door, otherwise case is in fine condition with only minor age-related shrinkage, a few light bumps and scuffs and some very small well-matched veneer repairs to the surround of the right hand glazed aperture.Clock has original pendulum, a non-original winding key but no case key.
