UK gallery, early 2000s.The mass production of glass in Ancient Rome prompted the development of glass jewellery of unique qualities. The ancient Romans considered jewellery to be an essential accessory, being a public display of the wealth of high social classes. Roman jewellery at first followed trends set by the Etruscans, using gold and glass beads, but as the power and spread of the Roman Empire increased, jewellery designs became increasingly elaborate, incorporating elements from different cultural styles.

Lot 424

A RARE LATE VICTORIAN 'COUNTRY HOUSE' CARVED AND PAINTED WOOD PILLAR POST BOX LATE 19TH CENTURY Of conventional pillar box form with red and black painted decoration to the pine frame 143cm high, 58cm diameter The roadside pillar postbox as we know it first came into public use in Britain in Guernsey in 1852. The idea was then spread across England with the majority painted green to make them less obtrusive and conspicuous. In 1874 the decision was taken to paint them red- to avoid pedestrians and road users walking or driving into them. This example, lacking a cypher for the ruling monarch is known as an "anonymous" box. With the high posting aperture, dentil frieze top it is reminiscent of the boxes produced by the Handyside foundry.

It therefore must post-date 1902. Dreweatts are grateful for advice suggested by Richard d'Apice AM AIH, President Emeritus, Committee Member, The Australian Heraldry Society. Walter MacFarlane founded and owned the company W MacFarlane & Co. Ltd, the most important manufacturer of ornamental ironwork in Scotland. He had trained as a jeweller and blacksmith before establishing a massive 14 acre foundry site on the Possil estate in Glasgow- the centre of his business known also as The Saracen Foundry. The company was a national and international success providing standardised decorative iron works for public water fountains, railing, railways, street lamps as well as public and private architectural work. Royal coats of arms, such as this, can still be found in former HM Custom & Excise buildings including a good example in the Pembroke Dock Custom House.

A RARE SPITFIRE ENGINEERS TOOL CHEST ORIGINALLY BELONGING TO ROY WALTERS, ENGINEER, VICKERS ARMSTRONG LIMITED, SUPERMARINE WORKS, CIRCA 1940-1943 TOGETHER WITH ORIGINAL ENGINEERS IDENTIFICATION CARD AND QUANTITY OF OTHER PERSONAL PAPERS To include Engineering Union Members books, hand drawn diagrams of engineering elements, typed list of tools and other items 27cm high, 41cm wide, 20cm deep Supermarine, British aircraft manufacturer is most famous for producing the Spitfire fighter plane during World War II. In 1928 Vickers-Armstrongs took over Supermarine as Supermarine Aviation Works (Vickers) Ltd and in 1938 all Vickers-Armstrongs aviation interests were reorganised to become Vickers-Armstrongs (Aircraft) Ltd, although Supermarine continued to design, build and trade under its own name. The phrase Vickers Supermarine was applied to the aircraft. The first Supermarine landplane design to go into production was the famous and successful Spitfire. The earlier Hawker Hurricane and the Spitfire were the mainstay of RAF Fighter Command fighter aircraft which fought off the Luftwaffe bombing raids with fighter escorts during the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940. The Spitfire was the only Allied fighter aircraft to be in production through the entirety of the Second World War. The identity card of Roy Walters is dated 8th February 1943. The branch of the Engineering Union that Walters was a member of was Newbury, Berkshire. Within days of the bombing of their Woolston and Itchen Works, in late September 1940, Supermarine's Works management had begun to look for, and requisition, new workshops within a fifty mile radius of Southampton, including a cluster around the Berkshire towns of Newbury and nearby Hungerford.

SIR MALCOLM CAMPBELL'S BLUEBIRD A LARGE PAINTED WOOD AND IRON BOUND ENGINEER'S CHEST, THE BLUEBIRD NO.1 The front of the chest titled 'SIR MALCOLM CAMPBELL' 'NO.1' and 'Geneva' 'Switzerland' The hinged top opening to a removable timber tray to reveal further storage. The underside of the 'lid' of the chest bears chalk inscribed numbers or calculations, strongly suggesting that this relates directly to calculations regarding one of the speed record attempts. 83cm high, 152cm wide, 69cm deep It seems highly likely that the multi-layered blue paint on the chest paint reflects the changing of the colour of Campbell's Bluebird vehicles over time. It also appears clear that the chest was used before he was knighted as the title 'SIR' appears to have been added, therefore dating the chest originally to Campbell's earlier speed records. Sir Malcolm Campbell was Knighted at Buckingham Palace by King George V on 21st February 1931. This followed his return from Daytona Beach where he set a land speed record of 245.736 mph. It is highly interesting and possibly significant to note that the underside of the 'lid' of the chest bears chalk inscribed numbers or calculations, strongly suggesting that this relates directly to calculations regarding one of the speed record attempts. Provenance: In the possession of Sir Malcolm Campbell's mechanic, Leo Villa.Leopoldo Alfonso Villa was a key part in nine land and four water world speed record attempts. Following Sir Malcolm Campbell's passing, Villa found himself continuing to be chief mechanic, but to the many record attempts of Sir Malcolm's son Donald.Purchased by Drew Pritchard in 2015.SIR MALCOM CAMPBELL AND THE 'BLUEBIRD' LAND AND WATER SPEED RECORDS Sir Malcolm Campbell's cars and boats, all named 'Blue Bird' are some of the most famous record setting vehicles of all time.Malcolm Campbell developed a passion for speed early in life, and by 1912 adopted the name 'Blue Bird' after seeing a stage play of the same name, he considered this to be a lucky name, and thereafter all of his race cars and boats (and an aeroplane) were painted blue and named 'Blue Bird'. Between 1928 and 1935 six new land speed records were established by Campbell in the United States at Daytona Beach, Florida and the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. The second 'Blue Bird' car was first constructed in 1926, and established a new land speed record of 174.883 mph at Pendine Sands in South Wales. In 1928, Campbell drove the second 'Blue Bird' to set the record at Daytona of 206.956 mph on February 19, 1928. Between 1931 and 1933 Campbell established three more land speed records there, ranging from 246.09 mph to 272.46 mph. The last record to be set by Campbell at Daytona was 276.82 mph in 1935. For these runs, 'Blue Bird' was powered by a supercharged Napier aircraft engine.Campbell's next goal was to set a 300 mph land speed record and chose the Bonneville Salt Flats for the location of his final land speed record attempt. The 'Blue Bird' was again modified, with a resulting weight of almost five tons and a length of over twenty-eight feet. It was fitted with a Rolls Royce R-type 2500 horsepower engine, which had an estimated life span of three minutes at top speed.On September 3, 1935, Sir Malcolm Campbell, at fifty year of age, piloted the last 'Blue Bird' and set a land speed record of 301.13 mph at Bonneville. Campbell never again raced on land, instead turning his attention to setting World Water Speed records.The Rolls Royce R-type engine from the second car was ultimately used in more than one of the 'Blue Bird' boats which set several World Water Speed records in the late 1930s. Sir Malcolm Campbell died on New Year's Eve, 1948, and the racing tradition was continued by some members of his family. His son, Donald Campbell, became the first person to establish both Land and Water Speed records in the same year (1964). Campbell's granddaughter, Gina, achieved success in offshore powerboat racing Condition Report: Overall there are scratches, marks, chips, cracks, rust, evidence of old worm and abrasions consistent with age and use.There are no screw nuts for the screw catches flanking the central hinged lock; one of the iron bands is broken by the back right hinge.When you lift the lid the smell of the interior transports you to the time when this was used by Malcolm Campbell for oily engine parts or whatever this chest held.Please see all the additional condition report photographs through the link on the condition report email as a visual reference of condition. Condition Report Disclaimer
