A pair of massive carved Portland stone gatepier balls probably 17th century 100cm.; 39ins high; ball diameter 61cm.; 24ins Reputedly removed from Redgrave Park, Suffolk, England. The Domesday Book (1086) records that the Manor of Redgrave was originally given to the Abbots of Bury St Edmunds by Ulfketel, Earl of East Anglia. (Ulfketel was leader of local resistance against the invading Danish armies in 1004 and 1010.) In 1211 the Abbot of Bury St Edmunds had a hunting lodge on the site and around 1545 a prestigious mansion, known as Redgrave Hall, was built by Sir Nicholas Bacon, later Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal to Queen Elizabeth. He rebuilt the Hall in Tudor style with a symmetrical front around a courtyard with flanking wings. Some of the remains of Abbot Sampson’s lodge were included in the walls. An oil painting circa 1630 shows the Tudor mansion, with a number of large gate pier balls, which may well be these examples flanking the main gate of the house. The youngest of Sir Nicholas Bacon’s sons was Sir Francis Bacon, 1st Baron Verulam; an essayist and philosopher, whose work laid the intellectual foundations of modern science. He famously died by contracting pneumonia while studying the effects of freezing on the preservation of meat. In the mid 19th century a credible theory was put forward that he was also the author of the plays conventionally attributed to William Shakespeare. In 1702 the Park and Hall were bought by Sir John Holt, the Lord Chief Justice. In the 1760’s his grandson rebuilt the Hall and remodelled the Park in classical style, with the help of celebrated landscape designer ‘Capability’ Brown, at which time the gatepier balls were presumably removed and relocated and subsequently sold following the demolition of the Hall in 1947.

Harry Kernoff RHA (1900-1974) THE HELL FIRE CLUB, 1931 watercolour signed and dated lower right; with label on reverse inscribed "Presented to the Guild House by Gabriel Fallon" 11 by 15.50in. (27.94 by 39.37cm) Provenance: Adam`s, 28 May 2003, lot 120; Private collection Hell Fire Club on Montpelier Hill was built as a hunting lodge c.1725 by William Conolly and is located in the Dublin Mountains. It is positioned on the site of a prehistoric passage grave, the stones from which were used in the construction of the lodge. What was interpreted as a misappropriation of the earlier landmark led to much superstition and alleged otherworldly activities at the site. This association was later reinforced when members of the Irish Hell Fire Club, active 1735 to 1741, began using the lodge as a meeting place. Although the Club later relocated following a fire, their association with the place remained. The Hell Fire Club and its surrounding lands, including Killakee Estate are now State owned. This watercolour was painted in 1931. An example of the same name (no. 20) and other views of the vicinity were exhibited by Kernoff at The White Gallery, 2 New Burlington Street, London, 28 April - 12 May, 1938. (£2,430-£3,240 approx)
