A fine Russian nephrite jade paper knife, in the manner of Fabergé, the curved blade centred by a diamond and gold Prince of Wales badge, within a white enamel G cypher, and surmounted by a gold and enamel royal coronet, the grip with a gold and red guilloché enamel shaped bow, centred by a cabachon, 19cm long, Noble & Co morocco case, 1906-1909The royal insignia suggest that this paper knife was a gift presented by the then Prince of Wales (later king, George V) to a dignitary or courtier of distinction, as was the custom at court. The frequency and scale of such lavish gift-giving, alien to our own culture, can unfortunately result in the object's past, including the original recipient of such opulence's identity, being lost to time. George's term as prince accordingly mirrored that of his father's reign, 1901 - 1910, so this paper knife, along with the company's chronology, can be dated fairly precisely. From 1906 to 1917 Noble & Co. specialised in the retail of Russian works of art and objet de vertue, including pieces from the Fabergé workshops in St. Petersburg, from their establishment, Pall Mall Safe Deposit, Carlton Street, Regent Street, London W1, and from 1910 when they traded from Dewar House, 11 & 12 Haymarket, SW1Y. This paper knife, like much of Noble's stock of Russian objects, is not hallmarked and so attribution to any maker or individual workshop can only be attributed on stylistic grounds. Condition Report: In good condition in its original box. there is no signs of damage or repairs. See attached images

George Earl (British, 1824-1908) Study of Caesar, the King's dog signed lower left "George Earl" oil on canvas 19 x 24cm (7 x 9in) Other Notes: The wire fox terrier "Caesar of Notts" was bred by the Duchess of Newcastle in1898 and presented to King Edward VII in 1903. The King and his dog became inseparable. A medallion inscribed ' Caesar - I belong to the King' was attached to his collar and can been seen in portraits of the dog. Caesar frequently caused problems for the King, escaping in Marienbad whilst chasing white peafowl and on another occasion killing rabbits owned by Lord Redesdale's daughters. The King ordered hardstone models of his favourite dogs and racehorses from the House of Fabergé. Caesar was at the King's side on his Norfolk estate when the initial wax models were revealed by the company. The model of Caesar was made of chalcedony, rubies, enamel and gold, and included Caesar's collar in the design. After the death of the King on 6 May 1910, Caesar refused to eat, and would spend time whining outside the King's bedroom. At one point, he managed to sneak into the King's bedroom and was found hiding under his bed by Queen Alexandra. The Queen encouraged him to eat once more and restored him to his normal self. In 1910, Caesar won the hearts of the nation when he attended the funeral of Edward VII, leading the funeral procession, with a Highlander, walking behind the carriage that carried the King's coffin. He was placed ahead of the Heads of State in the procession, including King George V and eight other Kings - an act of which Kaiser Wilhelm II of the German Empire disapproved. It was about this time that the German firm Steiff started producing their stuffed toy models of the dog. Caesar lived on in the Royal Household, cared for by the Dowager Queen, until his death in 1914. He is immortalised in stone at the feet of the King on the tomb of Edward VII in St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. Cleaned at some stage and with a modern wooden frame.

Provenance; by descent from Fred Bramley (1874 - 1925) via his second wife to her daughter to her daughter. Bramley was the second General Secretary of the British Trade Union Congress. He visited Moscow as part of a delegation of ten men in November and December 1924 that travelled some 7000 miles around Russia attending various meetings culminating in addressing the 6th Soviet Trade Union Congress. He was not a great orator but was a formidable negotiator. He died due to poor health while attending an International Federation of Trade Unions meeting in Amsterdam in 1925. By family tradition this set was given to him or his wife on the visit to Russia. Alexi Popov, a Moscow merchant took over the established firm of Karl Milli in 1811 and gave his name to the factory, which, together with his son, Dmitri, he personally built up and directed until he died in the 1850's. A decade later it was sold by the Popov family, and passed rapidly from one new owner to another. In the 1870s it belonged to an Armenian, and finally to a Russian merchant who liquidated the whole enterprise in 1875. Sazikov (1793-1877) - started by Pavel Sazikov and continued by his son Ignaty, a contemporary of Fabergé, were one of Russia's most important firm of silversmiths initially they opened a retail shop on Silver Row in Moscow but began manufacturing in Moscow in 1836 and St Petersburg in 1842. In 1887, Sazikov was taken over by Ivan Khlebnikov.

WALTER RICHARD SICKERT, ARA, RE (1860-1942) THE CASINO DIEPPE signed, pencil with pen and ink, 30 x 24.5cm Provenance: Kenneth Snowman, CBE, FSA (1919-2002); Raymond Mortimer (1895-1980) by whom bequeathed to Paul Hyslop by whom bequeathed in turn to Professor J R Lander (1921-2003) (but not included in the sale of the Lander Collection at Christie's in 2003). The present meticulous drawing of the Boulevard Aguado, leading to the Casino at Dieppe almost certainly dates from around 1920. A date in August 1914 is a possibility, since the outbreak of war that month forced Sickert to move from Envermeu into Dieppe, but since it is not mentioned in Sickert's extensive correspondence with Ethel Sands that Summer, in which he gives a full account of the townscapes he was then working on, this seems unlikely. On his return to Envermeu after the war, he made drawings such as this, and a few paintings, of the streets and buildings at the western end of Dieppe. In 1920 he began the extensive series of pictures of the interior of the Casino, with its scenes of gambling. With its indications of squaring there is clearly the possibility that the drawing was intended as a study for a painting, although it is not known if such a picture was actually executed. The ornate Moorish Casino and the extensive gardens were finished in 1886 and survived until 1926. The drawing has a particularly distinguished provenance. Owned by the Sickert collector and authority on Fabergé, Abraham Kenneth Snowman (of Wartski, the jewellers), and subsequently by Raymond Mortimer, the writer and critic, it was inherited, with many important 20th century British pictures in the Mortimer Collection by the eminent historian, Jack Robert Lander. For Richard Shone's essay on Raymond Mortimer, please see the foreword to the Christie's Catalogue referred to above. ++Faint horizontal crease and some very light mainly peripheral time staining as a result of the old card mount, in the lower left corner under taking light a clear impression of the watermark...
