Winston Churchill (1874-1965): an original hand-written letter, with envelope, to the doctor officiating at the birth of Churchill, from his father, Lord Randolph Henry-Spencer Churchill (1849-1895). The letter is written on notepaper headed 'Estates Office, Blenheim Palace, Oxon.' and dated December 28th 1874, to 'F. Taylor Esquire', a doctor based in Woodstock, Oxfordshire (a village close to Blenheim Palace), and reads 'Dear Mr Taylor, I enclose a cheque for 25 guineas to you for your kind services, and wish to say that I appreciate highly your skilful management of, and careful attention to, her Ladyship during her confinement. We go to town today. Believe me, yours truly, Randolph S Churchill'. Winston Churchill was born at Blenheim Palace on 30th November 1874. Also included with this item is a further letter and envelope, written to the same doctor, from George Charles Spencer-Churchill, 8th Duke of Marlborough (1844-1892), elder brother of Randolph Churchill and uncle to Winston, dated 'Feb 13' on 'Blenheim Palace' embossed paper, reading 'Mr Dear Sir, I write a few lines in reference to our conversation the other day, to say that I shall be happy to enter into the same arrangement with you for attendance or any family household ??? with the late Me Palmer. I am yours faithfully, Marlborough'. There is no indication of the year that it was written - the paper carries a watermark reading '1860', and the envelope carries a black wax seal.Private collection. Purchased as part of a large group of ephemera several years ago by the vendor, and stored undisturbed in the loft.Some tears to the paper, with smudges from the time of writing.

The item within this lot containing ivory has been registered in accordance with the Ivory Act (Section 10). Ref. KVE5NQDV.Provenance:By repute, Victoire, Duchesse de Nemours (1822-1857) A Private Collection of Jewels and Portrait Miniatures of Bourbon Interest Lots 1 - 16 form part of a private collection of jewels, portrait miniatures and objects de vertu, predominantly relating to the Bourbon dynasty and dating from the 17th century onwards. Bourbon monarchs united France and part of the kingdom of Navarre in 1589, ruling both until the French Revolution of 1792. Restored briefly in 1814 and finally in 1815 after the fall of the First French Empire, the senior line of the Bourbons was overthrown again in the July Revolution of 1830. A cadet Bourbon branch, the House of Orléans, then ruled for 18 years (1830–1848), until it too was deposed.Louis Philippe Joseph, Duc de Orléans (1747–1793), known as 'Philippe Égalité' and Louise Marie Adélaïde Penthièvre (1753-1821) were married at the Palace of Versailles in 1769. At the time of their marriage, Marie Adélaïde was the wealthiest heiress in France. The couple were much in love and had three sons and twin daughters but during the Reign of Terror, the couple were torn apart and the fate of their family was cast into peril. After a long period in exile, their eldest child, Louis Philippe (1773-1850) would eventually become the penultimate monarch of France (1830-1848), but not before his two younger brothers contracted tuberculosis while imprisoned with their father at Fort-Saint-Jean in Marseille. Their father was guillotined in 1793 and their mother exiled to Spain. Louis Antoine (1775-1807) and Louis Charles (1779–1808) later died of their condition within a year of each other - Louis Antoine while in exile in England and Louis Charles while visiting Malta.Their sister, Françoise, died in 1782, aged four and was survived by her younger twin, Louise Marie Adélaïde Eugénie (1777–1847). Once King, Louis Philippe came to rely heavily on his sister's intelligence, wisdom and loyalty, consulting her daily on both family matters and affairs of state. Raised a liberal by her governess, 'Madame Adélaïde' supported the idea of a constitutional monarchy and a representative government. Louis Philippe's reign, known as the 'July Monarchy', was dominated by wealthy industrialists and bankers. He promoted friendship with Great Britain and sponsored colonial expansion, notably the French conquest of Algeria. His popularity faded as economic conditions in France deteriorated. Madame Adélaïde died two months before his abdication on 24th February 1848. Louis Philippe spent the remainder of his life in exile in England. His supporters were known as Orléanists.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: Y ФY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.Ф This lot contains or is made of ivory and cannot be imported into the USA or any country within the EU.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Ref. 6FZ843RR.A Private Collection of Jewels and Portrait Miniatures of Bourbon Interest Lots 1 - 16 form part of a private collection of jewels, portrait miniatures and objects de vertu, predominantly relating to the Bourbon dynasty and dating from the 17th century onwards. Bourbon monarchs united France and part of the kingdom of Navarre in 1589, ruling both until the French Revolution of 1792. Restored briefly in 1814 and finally in 1815 after the fall of the First French Empire, the senior line of the Bourbons was overthrown again in the July Revolution of 1830. A cadet Bourbon branch, the House of Orléans, then ruled for 18 years (1830–1848), until it too was deposed.This portrait miniature derives from a portrait of 1785, now at Versailles, by the French state painter and pastellist, Joseph Boze. It was engraved by Benoit Louis Henriquez, the court engraver, and in London by Thomas Curtis. It was used again by the court miniaturist, Pierre Violet, in a portrait showing 'The Unfortunate Louis 16th in the Dress he wore while confined in the Temple', which was engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi and published in London in February 1793, the month after King Louis was sent to the guillotine. This image of the King was therefore well-known and easily available to copyists. An earlier copy of circa 1785-1800 is held by the Royal Collection (inv.no. RCIN 420364).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: Y ФY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.Ф This lot contains or is made of ivory and cannot be imported into the USA or any country within the EU.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A cadet Bourbon branch, the House of Orléans, then ruled for 18 years (1830–1848), until it too was deposed.In 1808, Louis XVIII brought his wife, Marie Joséphine (1753-1810), to join him in England where the couple settled at Hartwell House in Buckinghamshire with over one hundred courtiers. Louis paid £500 in rent each year to the owner of the estate, Sir George Lee. As Prince Regent, the Prince of Wales (later George IV) was very charitable and granted the exiled Bourbons permanent right of asylum with extremely generous allowances.Queen Marie Joséphine died on 13th November 1810. Her funeral was a magnificent occasion attended by the Bourbon court-in-exile. The funeral cortege was followed by the British royal family and Marie Joséphine was laid to rest in Westminster Abbey. Her body was removed a year later on Louis's orders and today Marie Joséphine rests in Cagliari Cathedral in Sardinia, her monument inscribed 'Galliarum Regina' (Queen of the Gauls).After a failed invasion of Russia by Napoleon I in 1812, Louis XVIII issued a declaration from Hartwell, asserting that anyone who had served Napoleon or the Republic would not suffer any repercussions. After allied troops entered Paris on 31st March 1814, the French Senate invited Louis to resume the throne of France and Napoleon I abdicated on 11th April 1814.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: Y ФY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.Ф This lot contains or is made of ivory and cannot be imported into the USA or any country within the EU.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
