AN ELABORATE CAST BRONZE SECTION OF QUARTER DECK SCREEN FROM THE FIRST CLASS CRUISER H.M.S. ST. GEORGE [1892], depicting St. George slaying the dragon within a foliate roundel of patriotic symbols -- 26 x 18in. (66 x 46cm.), One of nine 'Edgar' class ships, St George's place in history is secured by her part in the shortest War on record. When the pro-British ruler of the Zanzibar Sultanate died on the 25th August 1896, his anti-British successor, Khalid bin Barghash Al-Busaid, failed to register and agree succession with the British Governor. Barricading himself in his palace on the 27th August, a small task force lead by St George commenced a short bombardment at 9.02am, setting the palace on fire and sinking the Zanzibar armed Royal Yacht Glasgow. By 9.40am the rebel flag was torn down and order restored. Sultan Khalid received asylum in the German consulate before escaping to German East Africa. The St George was designated a depôt ship in 1909 and sold for breaking in 1920.
A circular fire screen with trestle stand, with hinge to convert into occasional table, set with a floral woolwork picture, a shaped circular topped sewing table, the hinged top enclosing a workbox area, a circular mirror with decorative edge and a mahogany framed shaped bevelled mirror, from a dressing table (4).
