Literature: John Andrews, 'Arts and Crafts Furniture', ACC 2005 p.83 - this piano is model no.8a, piano no. 96377; Jeremy Cooper, 'Victorian & Edwardian Furniture & Interiors', London, 1987, p. 188, for a reproduction of Broadwood's advertisement in the Burlington Magazine; John Wainwright, 'Broadwood, By Appointment', London 1982. see p. 235-238; Christopher Jordan, 'Ernest Marsh, Collector (1863-1945)', The Decorative Arts Society 1850 to the Present, Journal 24, 2000, pp. 31-47, Simon Nowell Smith, 'Edwardian England', 1964, pl.

'Brit iparművészeti kiállítás katalogusa', Budapest, 1902. In the article by Christopher Jordan in 'Ernest Marsh, Collector (1863-1945)', The Decorative Arts Society 1850 to the Present, Journal 24, 2000, pp. 31-47, he confirms that at least five Broadwood pianos with Ashbee casing were executed. Crawford notes that four uprights were known and lists them as follows: 1. Oak, dated 1900 with painted decoration for E Peter Jones, the store owner. This example was sold in Decorative Arts, Sotheby’s New Bond Street, 16 May, 1986, lot 134. 2. Oak, dated 1903, with inlays and enamel plaque. From Jordan's article, it is likely that this is the example bought by Ernest Marsh and illustrated in a contemporary photograph from 1906 of the morning room at Coombe Bury, Kingston Upon Thames, confirmed by Crawford as being at Standen, East Grinstead, West Sussex. 3. Spanish mahogany, undated, decorated with inlays of clover. Illustrated J H Elder-Duncan, 'The House Beautiful and Useful', n.d.,1907, p. 153, now in the collection of Jimmy Page, London. 4.

A Victorian Silver 'Manchester New Race Course' Badge or Token, by Isaac Simmons, Sheffield, 1846 oval, the front engraved 'Manchester New Race Course Association' on a garter and further engraved 'Established 1847' within, the back engraved 'Mr John Greenwood' 50mm wide, 18dwt, 29gr Various venues were used for horse racing around Manchester from at least the middle of the 17th century, though none of the courses were actually in Manchester itself. The course for which the present token or badge is engraved was on a site known as Castle Irwell, having been leased from the Member of Parliament and owner of the Pendleton Colliery John Fitzgerald. The course was located on an area of flat land near of the river Irwell and was described as being ‘damp and boggy, prone to mist and the going was heavy’. There was a 1000 seat stand which offered a view of the entire course. The initial lease expired after 20 year and the Fitzgerald’s son, who had now inherited the estate, declined to renew it and so the course was closed and moved to New Barns, Weaste.The John Greenwood whose name is engraved on the reverse is very probably the one born in 1788 and who is known for being a transport entrepreneur and a keeper of a toll-gate in Pendleton, on the Manchester to Liverpool turnpike. He was to go on to purchase a horse and carriage to be used for an omnibus service between Pendleton and Manchester, a service which did not require prior booking. He died in 1851 and left a successful business to his son. Another example of this badge, though without a name engraved on the reverse, was sold at Noonans, London, 13 December 2016, lot 3218. Fully marked on the back. There is some minor wear to the marks but each is still legible. There is some overall surface scratching and minor wear, consistent with age and use.
