ANNA 1662' above 'Iakub Chareƶa.', one with the Flight into Egypt, the Virgin and Child on a donkey with Joseph walking beside, titled 'FUGA AD EGIPTUM', one with the burning of men alive at the word of the prophet Elijah from the book of 2 Kings, the Virgin and Child on a cloud above, inscribed '1662 MY' between, titled 'S.

The 1747 city inventory of the Lubartów estates records a 'Jakub CharÄ™za na ZarÄ™binym' living on Krzywe KoÅ‚o street, who may be of some relation, see Dariusz Kupisz, 'MieszkaÅ„cy i zabudowa Lubartowa w inwentarzu miasta z 1747 roku', Rocznik Lubelski (2016), p.243.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A scarce engraved South German silver-gilt mounted Rubinglas bottle, circa 1700In deep ruby-red glass, of square section with sloping shoulders and canted corners, each side engraved with a bird perched in an animated pose upon a stylised spray of fruit and foliage, the shoulder and the base each with a spray of flowers, with an elaborately chased and embossed silver-gilt cover, 15cm highFootnotes:Rubinglas became incredibly popular in Southern Germany and frequently engraved with sprays of fruit such as this, either with or without birds perched on top. The quality of the engraving suggests that they are unrelated to the finer examples engraved with fruit by the Nuremburg masters and it is possible that the engravers were located closer to Munich or Freising, which were centres of ruby-glass production. A flask of different form but with similar engraving from the Ernesto Wolf Collection is illustrated by Brigitte Klesse and Hans Mayr, European Glass from 1500-1800 (1987), no.80. Compare also to three engraved beakers illustrated by Dedo von Kerssenbrock-Krosigk, Rubinglas des ausgehenden 17. und des 18. Jahrhunderts (2001), pp.184-5, nos.120, 121 and 123. Four-sided bottles such as this are relatively rare and were sometimes part of travelling or apothecary sets.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A 19th century coromandel wood and inlaid mother of pearl dressing case, with drawer with silver plated accessories and mirror. 18.5 cm x 31 cm x 22.5 cm.

Upon his return to the British Isles he became an officer in the London Irish Volunteer Corps, partaking with enthusiasm in the the culture of rifle marksmanship that characterised the volunteer movement. In 1866 he founded the Dublin University Rifle Club at Trinity College Dublin, and the following year he founded the Irish Rifle Association. In October 1873 he wrote a challenge to the marksmen of America which was published in the New York Herald the following month and which resulted in the inauguration of a series of international matches shot in America and in the genesis of American long-range rifle shooting competitions.Leech was Captain of the Irish team that shot in the first Irish-American match at Creedmore in 1874, and he there presented a silver cup, the Leech Cup, which remained in use into the 21st century - the oldest such prize in American competitive shooting. He afterwards presented the rifle that he had used there to Colonel George Armstrong Custer. Leech again captained the Irish team for the return match - the famous Dublin Internation Match of 1875. It is supposed that it was with the rifle offered here, subsequently re-barreled by Rigby in 1878, that he shot on that occasion.
