ENGLISH SCHOOL, 19TH C - PORTRAIT MINIATURE OF TWO YOUNG MEN, PROBABLY BROTHERS, IVORY, OVAL, 5.5 X 4CM, ENGRAVED GILTMETAL MOUNT AND EBONISED FRAME, A PAIR OF LARGER VICTORIAN OVAL PORTRAIT MINIATURES OF A BOY AND GIRL, WATERCOLOUR ON CARD AND A LATE VICTORIAN TINTED MINIATURE PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPH OF AN OFFICER
An American Naval Officer's sabre, reputedly the former property of Captain William Howard Allen of the USS Argus, circa 1812:, the curved single edge fullered blade with blued steel and gilt floral decoration, one side with the American Coat of Arms of a bald eagle with olive branch and arrows in its talons supporting a shield, the shield with fifteen Stars over Stripes, gilt brass Acanthus langets, single sea serpent quillon and floral scroll cast guard, one piece chequered ivory grip and cast eagle head pommel, in a gilt brass mounted black leather scabbard with double suspension loop, blade length, 73cm.*Notes-Commander William Henry Allen was born in Providence, Rhode Island 1784 and entered service with the US Navy as a midshipman in April 1880. He received the rank of Commander in July 1813 and Captained the brig USS Argus, eluding the British blockade off the Atlantic coast and undertook a successful commerce raid on merchant shipping in the English Channel and Irish Sea. After the capture of nineteen ships, the Admiralty sent out orders for all ships to hunt down the Argus and on the 14th August 1813, HMS Pelican sighted the Argus 15 miles southwest of St David's Head and engaged her. Though the Argus was faster, Allen decided to engage HMS Pelican and early on during the battle he was mortally wounded by cannon fire. HMS Pelican captured the Argus and she was taken to Plymouth. Though the Argus ship's surgeon had amputated Allen's leg, his condition deteriorated and he was moved to Mill Prison Hospital where he was attended by Sir George Magrath. Captain Allen died on the 18th August from his injuries. He was buried on the 21st August 1813 with full military honours.It is believed that Sir George Magrath was presented with Captain Allen's sword after the funeral and it remained in his possession until his death in 1857. Upon his death, Sir George left his whole property to his nurse of five years Miss Palmer. The sword was acquired by the current owner when the family estate was sold at auction in Plymouth during the 1970s/80s.

AN IVORY AND EBONY BALUSTER SNUFF MULL MID-18TH CENTURY the ebony body set with ivory to upper section, the base and rim with silver mounts, the silver hinged to domed ebony cover with wide silver rim and round engraved "Post Nubila Phabus, Alexr Smith 1745 Longmay" and set centrally with oval plaque with mirrored monogram 'AS' and dated 1743 below 71mm high Literature: Kelvin, M. (2003). The Jacobite Legacy. 1st ed. Wigtown: G C Book Publishers Ltd, p.151. Note: Alexander Smith of Longmay (also known as Lonmay) near Peterhead was based very close to Pitsligo Castle. Although his name is not listed among the ranks of the Pitsligo Regiment it is highly likely he was a volunteer within their ranks. A staunchly Jacobite area, the regiment contained many local people who lived on or near the estates and marched under Forbes of Pitslgio's name throughout the '45. While the Latin motto to this piece Post Nubila Phabus could be a family one, its translation as 'Sunshine After Clouds' has a very Jacobite sympathy and mind set. The Sunshine being interpreted as the restoration of the Stuart from the Cloud of the Hanoverian rule.
KING JAMES III A PORTRAIT MINIATURE ON IVORY ATTRIBUTED ANNE SHERON, CIRCA 1704 the half-length portrait of King James III in armour with blue sash and red cloak, in silver frame, the reverse engraved (later hand) Prince Charles Edward/ given by him to/ John Greyke/ before 'The 1745'/ Arlaud, contained in a fitted red leather case 92mm long (including suspension) Provenance: John Creyke, c1690 - 1757, Marton Hall Yorkshire His sons Ralph Creyke, Rawcliffe Hall Yorkshire By direct descent Lawrence's of Crewkerne 12th October 2010 Private Collection Note: The Creyke family heritage appears to stem from Danish routes although they are recorded settled and holding the title of Governor in Berwick under the reign of Edward III in 1340. The family seem to have been spread along the borders of Scotland, York and wider afield in Yorkshire. By the time of the Stuart uprisings their seat was, and had been since 1447, Marton Hall in East Riding. However their connection to the Stuart cause goes much further back than the 18th century and they are recorded supporting and indeed suffering for their support upon the execution King Charles I. At this time the family patriarch was Gregory Crekye (born 1595) and it is recorded that for his support he 'suffered greatly for his devoted attachment to Charles I, and compounded heavily for his estates'. Two of Gregory's sons were also close adherents of the Stuarts. One being page to Queen Henrietta Maria and his eldest son Richard was commissioned by the Duke of Newcastle to guard the East Riding coast against the coming of William of Orange to over throw the Stuart King James II. In fact, it was Richard who personally delivered the fateful news to King James of William's arrival. Setting in motion the Glorious Revolution and overthrow of the Stuart monarchy which would in turn create their supporters, the Jacobite's. It is either this Richard Creyke or his son Reverend John Creyke who must be considered the original owners of these fine miniatures. In either case they were staunch Jacobite's who as the miniature of King James suggest could have been given this directly for their long and well recorded support. Of course it was not only this past support but the need for future support through the uprisings of the 18th century which the Stuarts hoped to guarantee. The Creyke support is seen early in the century with Reverend John who after the Jacobite defeat at Preston was so despondent by this defeat he refused on the 6th May 1718 to take the Oath of Allegiance to King George I. By doing so he had to resign from St. John College Cambridge. Almost immediately he appears to have taken refuge not at the family seat but under the care of the 5th Earl of Winchelsea, Heneage Fincha. So close was their relationship he stayed there as his chaplain and librarian until his death in 1757. This support was not only known locally but obviously met the ear of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, indeed he and Creyke may have had a more personal connection than is now understood. It is stated in an 1802 edition of Old Yorkshire that Prince Charles promised to Reverend Creyke that should he come to the throne that he would be granted the position as Archbishop of York. This obvious close connection tempts even further that these miniatures could in fact have been direct court gifts. It should also be said in case any doubt is still cast on the Reverend John Creyke's Jacobite credentials it is recorded that not only was he present to witness the deaths of the Manchester Regiment soldiers so brutally dealt with for their 'crime' of taking arms for the Jacobite's. But he also wrote the speeches given on the gallows by two of their soldiers. These speeches were written for Thomas Syddall and Thomas Deacon of Manchester. It therefore seems highly likely he would have been present at Southwark Gaol to comfort and consult with other prisoners and likely gave religious clemency to many. It would appear that these remarkable miniatures not only have a connection to a remarkable, and little known, Jacobite family but for their near 300 year existence have only been in the possession of two Jacobites, the Creyke family and one Private Collector.
A RARE DOUBLE-PORTRAIT MINIATURE OF JAMES III AND MARIA CLEMENTINA SOBIESKI the oval portrait miniature on ivory set within gold frame with crown surmount and hessonite garnets set around, in a later fitted leather case 47mm long (including suspender) Provenance: John Creyke, c1690 - 1757, Marton Hall Yorkshire His sons Ralph Creyke, Rawcliffe Hall Yorkshire By direct descent Lawrence's of Crewkerne 12th October 2010 Private Collection Note: The Creyke family heritage appears to stem from Danish routes although they are recorded settled and holding the title of Governor in Berwick under the reign of Edward III in 1340.
