Circa 140 A.D. A high-quality emerald (green beryl) intaglio portrait of Marcus Aurelius as a young man, in profile left; the military cloak (paludamentum) in connection with the extreme youth of the subject suggesting that the portrait is not a private one, but must be of an imperial prince; the style of the carving and hairstyle of the subject clearly belong in the Antonine era; the material too suggests an imperial subject: the stone, hard, brittle and very difficult to carve, was highly prestigious in such large sizes; Roman examples of such portraits in emerald or aquamarine are very rare and usually represent members of the imperial family; the cabochon set into a contemporary gold finger ring comprising a flat-section hoop with granules to the shoulders and an ellipsoid bezel. Cf. Chadour, A.B., Rings. The Alice and Louis Koch Collection, volume I, Leeds, 1994, item 367, for ring type; also for ring/bezel shape Koch coll. no.349 (2nd-3rd century); and for the bezel see Marshall, F. H., Catalogue of the Finger Rings, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman, in the British Museum, 1907, 87, no.509. 5.92 grams, 26.22 mm overall, 17.48 mm internal diameter (approximate size British N, USA 6 1/2, Europe 13.72, Japan 13) (1 in.). Acquired 1970-1990. Ex property of a deceased lady. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no.114493-195583. Dr Ittai Gradel writes: 'The portrait in all likelihood represents Marcus Aurelius as a young prince and heir to the imperial throne, c. AD 140. The only possible alternative would appear to be his son Commodus as a youth, c. 175 AD. Like young Marcus, Commodus’ youth portrait is well known from coins (and sculpture). Young Commodus’ hair is rather less curly, however, his neck thinner and his whole appearance rather more delicate and effete than the youth portraits of his father, which seem to fit the gem image better; further, the split in the hair fringe on the forehead seems a deliberate attempt to reproduce he characteristic hair parting in the same location in young Marcus’ main (only) sculptural portrait type. Though a close call, Marcus rather than Commodus should therefore be the subject here.' [A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions Website.]

2009 Jaguar X-Type Estate Ex-HM Queen Elizabeth II Transmission: automaticMileage:72544The Jaguar X-Type is a front-engine, all-wheel/front-wheel drive compact executive car manufactured and marketed from 2001 to 2009. In addition to offering Jaguar's first estate in series production, the X-Type would ultimately introduce its first diesel engine, four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive configuration.The X-Type was developed during the period when Jaguar was owned by Ford as a division of its Premier Automotive Group (PAG) (1999-2009) and marked Jaguar's entry into the critical compact executive segment. The estate was the first Jaguar model designed by Ian Callum. From its saloon counterpart, the design revised 420 tooled parts and 58 stampings for all components rearward of the windscreen, adding 150 pounds.This fantastic piece of Royal history is presented in Emerald Fire with Barley leather interior and the first owner was HM Queen Elizabeth II. This is confirmed by its original booklet stating its registration as PYN IF which can also be seen in photos with HM the Queen at the wheel. It comes with a sunroof, automatic transmission, electric windows, climate control, a good service history, Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate and has been well maintained. The Royal Family might have a long history with Bentley state limousines, but they love Jaguars as well. Although the late Queen Elizabeth II was seen behind the wheel of several cars during her long reign, her favourite seems to be the Land Rover Defender. She had a particular liking for this model, but when that was unavailable, she had a back-up car, a Jaguar X-Type Estate. In the pictures available on the internet, you can see HM Queen Elizabeth II driving this very car with Her Majesty wearing sunglasses and a headscarf which was so typical. She looked happy and healthy, leaving Windsor Castle behind her and at the wheel of the Jaguar, driving up the Long Walk. From 2004 to 2009, the X-Type Estate wasn't among the most desirable models the brand ever built but who would have thought this would be one of Queen Elizabeth II's go-to vehicles? It came with two fuel options and the biggest engine, though, was petrol. It was a 3.0 litre V6 engine, which was the option Queen Elizabeth II had for this particular car. This surely is a car for the serious collector or Royalist and with a provenance which is impossible to match, this is unique!Please note that the private registration that you may have seen online or viewed in any publications is not being sold with the car.Photos of the Queen credited to Jim Bennett
