Most compartments have original content labels.The Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Company was formed in 1880 by William Gibson & John Lawrence Langman. From its 112 Regent St address they were the first to sell at trade reductions direct to the public. They were renowned not only for their Regents plate, a much heavier form of silver plating than standard and for the production of military campaign supplies.Steel bound oak construction, with the above makers’ lozenge, not only complete with all of its paper & baize lined interior trays but also the vast majority of its original contents.A brass plaque is engraved ‘EUSTACE’, with worn pasted labels showing ‘Captain’, most of the silver content has the Eustace family crest engraved with one piece monogrammed ‘R.E.’ leading my research to a Captain R Eustace of the 39th Garhwal Rifles in the British Indian Army, traced to Mesopotamia in WW1. The chest was made to measure for his family crested silver after this date, as the majority is hallmarked 1920-21.The five layers of trays starts with Regent & other flatware, with the lower layers including a high volume of silver items including a Corinthian column oil lampstand & heavy twin handled tray all destined for the Captain’s dinner table.

JEAN-NICOLAS GERARD (born 1954); a slipware jar and cover with sgraffito decoration, height 22.5cm.

Two vintage money banks comprising a Chad Valley book form example, Treasure Island and a cast iron 'Jolly Bank'. [2]Note: Mechanical cast iron banks were first manufactured in the late 1800's during the industrial revolution. The 'Jolly Banks' or money boxes were a popular item during this period and are also associated with Black Memorabilia. These items are listed on the basis that they are illustrative of a bygone culture in which there were different social norms. We understand the potential controversy surrounding this type of item but believe that providing transparent information about historical context fosters greater understanding of our complex cultural history.Condition Report: The Jolly Bank is an original example
Lot 1
A Middle Bronze Age palstave axehead hoard. Found in Hampshire and recorded on the PAS database as HAMP-7A1CBA, Treasure number 2018T633.The PAS description for this hoard is given below:A hoard of ten complete/ incomplete/ fragmentary Middle Bronze Age palstave axeheads. The first discovered (no.1) was found c.18 inches below the surface, and below the plough soil. A further nine items were found in the plough soil over a c.50 metre area, 4-6 inches below the surface.The numbering of this catalogue replicates the numbering of the finds marked on their bags.1. Palstave axehead, copper alloy, unlooped, the casting seams have been trimmed and the blade has been forged and used, the axe is considerably more worn/eroded than the rest of the palstaves and palstave fragments from this find. It stands out among the group. Decoration consists of a triangular shaped, indentation with raised mid-rib emerging from it and continuing down the blade. The palstave has an elongated hexagonal cross-section. Dimensions: Length: 150mm; Blade width (of cutting blade): 58mm; Width (of butt): 20mm; Width across bar stop taken on top/bottom of palstave: 25mm; Weight: 483.4g.2. Palstave axehead, looped, copper alloy, in ‘as cast’ condition, with visible casting flashes and unsharpened blade. The loop is filled. The surfaces have a silvery appearance possibly due to high tin levels. The bottom of the palstave has a series of short (stitch-like) lines, running perpendicular to the casting seam. Decoration consists of a triangular motif from which emerges the mid-rib. Dimensions: Length: 160mm; Width (of cutting blade): 42mm; Width (of butt, which is broken/incomplete where casting jet removed): 25mm; Width across bar stop taken on top/bottom of palstave: 29mm; Weight: 369.2g.3. Palstave axehead, copper alloy, looped, with flanged sides and mid-rib decoration, with two short lines on either side of the mid-rib. The cutting edge of the blade is broken. The surfaces have a silvery appearance possibly due to high tin levels. The loop is filled. Dimensions: Length: 158mm; Blade width (cutting edge): 66mm; Width (of butt): 23mm; Width across bar stop taken on top/bottom of palstave: 25mm; Weight: 353.2g.4. Fragment of a palstave axehead, copper alloy, being the blade and body up to the bar stop, no trace of a loop, which one would expect to see on this portion of the axehead, if it had been present. Mid-rib emerging from and cutting through a triangular-shape decoration. Relatively neat casting flashes (but may not have been trimmed) but the blade is ‘as cast’ and unforged. Dimensions: Length: 103mm; Blade width (cutting edge): 49mm; Width (at broken end): 25mm; Width across bar stop taken on top/bottom of palstave: 28mm; Weight: 298.6g5. Fragment of a palstave axehead, looped, copper alloy, broken at the bar-stop, heavily corroded and it is not possible to see any evidence of cleaning/forging. The decoration and proportions of the axe are very similar to palstave No. 2. Dimension: Length: 98mm; Blade width (cutting edge): 41mm (broken); Weight: 280.8g.6. Fragment of a palstave axehead, copper alloy, being the butt end of a palstave. Dimensions: Length: 57mm; Width (max.) on top/bottom: 24mm; Width (of septum) (max.): 27mm; Butt thickness: 7mm; Weight: 93.2g.7. Fragment of a palstave axehead, copper alloy, being the butt end of a palstave. Dimensions: Length: 50mm; Width (max.) on top/bottom: 24mm; Width (of septum) (max.): 27mm; Butt thickness: 8mm; Weight: 131.42g.8. Fragment of a palstave axhead, copper alloy, being the butt end of a palstave. Dimensions: Length: 53mm; Width (max.) on top/bottom: 15mm; Width (of septum) (max.): 26mm; Butt thickness: 11mm; Weight: 94.8g.9. Ingot fragment, copper alloy, plate-like in shape. Dimensions: 45mm by 32mm, thickness: 11.5mm; Weight: 49.61g10. Casting jet/sprue, copper alloy, showing evidence for how the smith removed the jet from the cast object,showing that the sprue was half cut/sawn and then broken off. It is also possible to detect evidence of the ?clay mould into which the metal was poured. A notable object for revealing metalworking processes/technology. Dimensions: Thickness: 27mm; Width: 27 (min.) – 52mm (max.); Weight: 131.42g.Discussion: The objects described above were dispersed rather than from a closed deposit. They may all date to the Middle Bronze Age, although the casting waste material (Nos. 9-10) is less diagnostic. The palstaves (complete and fragmentary) are diagnostic and can be assigned to the Taunton phase of the Middle Bronze Age (i.e. c.1400-1300/1250 BC). The palstaves (Nos. 2-8) form a relatively coherent group and many, if not all, are unfinished/sharpened (see catalogue for details). Axe No. 1, in contrast, appears to have been used. Nevertheless I would recommend (on the balance of chronology and probability) that the group be taken as together a ‘find’ of Treasure and not split. Examples of similar hoards can be found in, for example, Rowlands (1976), and they are a relatively common find of the Middle Bronze Age in southern England.Notes:Conclusion: The objects detailed above (Nos. 1-10) qualify as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act (1996) (Designation Order 2002), being a find of more than one base metal object of prehistoric (Bronze Age) date.Bibliography: Rowlands, M J, 1976 The Production and Distribution of Metalwork in the Middle Bronze Age of Southern Britain, British Archaeological Reports, British Series 31. Oxford: BARNote: Weights of objects are prior to cleaning (i.e. some with soil still adhering).Brendan O'Connor adds: "Palstaves 2 and 5 belong to the looped Norman type, likewise no 4 which is unlooped Norman. No 1, without a distinct stopridge, is probably a Werrar type (Rowlands Class 4), characteristic of the Isle of Wight. 5 is a bit unusual in that these side-flanged palstaves do not often have a loop. All this is indeed consistent with a Taunton phase hoard, of which there are several along the coast between Southampton and Portsmouth. Another was found 'near' Titchfield in 1897."Source: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/917274
