Lot 146
1999 Ferrari 456 GTA Transmission: automaticMileage:44230The Ferrari 456 was the first front-engine Ferrari for 20 years and offered true performance touring for four occupants. The 456 GT was announced in September 1992, making its public show debut in Paris the following month. This was a positive and brave move by the company, as the prestige sports car markets were in recession after all the speculation and hype of the late eighties. However, they showed their commitment to broadening their range and to maintaining their position at the head of the list of the world's most desirable automobiles. The Pininfarina styled aluminium bodywork made for a pleasing design, particularly the modernised reflection of the fabled 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' with the long bonnet, featuring retractable headlight pods. Also inspired by the 'Daytona' was the design treatment of the rear of the cabin envelope and tail. Thus, although the shape was thoroughly modern, it contained retro trace elements to associate it with the company's history. Electronically adjustable self-levelling suspension gave positive handling and a comfortable ride, while the 442bhp, V12 made sure that performance had not been overlooked.Registered in March of 1999, this stylish Ferrari looks well in Nero Black paintwork with a contrasting ivory leather interior. The file for this 456 contains a V5C registration document, a valid MoT test certificate and various service invoices, the most recent of which is for £3,987. We are informed that recent servicing works have been undertaken by the vendors mechanic. The car certainly performed well on a recent test drive. The 456 model has the practicality of four seats combined with the perfect balance of aggressiveness and elegance. This handsome automatic transmission, example awaits a new owner to enjoy it to its fullest and is offered without reserve.

Lot 2102
baluster and on spreading foot, one side chased after the painting 'Bolton Abbey in the Olden Times' by Sir Edwin Henry Landseer depicting a medieval tableau of the priory gatehouse at Bolton Abbey with an abbot and monk receiving gifts of game from a forester and two assistants, all in high relief, the other side engraved with an inscription within chased foliage scrolls, with branch and foliage cast ivory-insulated handle28.5cm high, gross weight 36oz 6dwt, 1,129grThe inscription reads 'To Amos Ingham Esq MD in Remembrance of True Friendship and the Good Professional Services Rendered to Her Father the Late Rich'd Shackleton Butterfield Esq JP DL During Many Years and with Best Wishes of the Viscountess Montauban, Woodlands May 15 1873'.Richard Shackleton Butterfield, along with his brothers, was a successful mill owner with transatlantic ambitions, having opened offices in Philadelphia and later New York. Sadly his desire to build a family fortune was to leave him with a reputation as a cruel man. Having purchased Bridgehouse Mill and Woodlands house in Haworth Butterfield was to demand long working hours from his staff and require them to work two loops simultaneously. This was something of a common practice at the mills in Haworth and a practice which was to attract the attention of the government, after a significant lobbying effort by Patrick Brontë, father of Charlotte. This resulted in the sending of Benjamin Herschel Babbage to Haworth in 1849 to make an inspection. His report led to significant improvements, though Butterfield was not pleased and continued to oppose any changes to improve the lot of his workers. This resulted in a strike in 1852 which Butterfield tried to quash by having the ringleaders arrested and brought to court. The proceedings didn't go in his favour and so he was forced to back down and the men were freed.It would seem that both Patrick and Charlotte Brontë were pleased with this outcome with Charlotte noting in a letter to her father ".... I cannot help enjoying Mr Butterfield's defeat - and yet in one sense this a bad state of things - calculated to make working people both discontented and insubordinate." (M. Smith, Editor, Charlotte Brontë, Selected Letters, 2010, p. 204).Dr Amos Ingham (1827-1889) was a Haworth surgeon from 1852 and, besides administering to Richard Shackleton Butterworth saw to Charlotte Brontë in February and March 1855 during her last illness and signed her death certificate. A portrait of him is in the Brontë Parsonage Museum. The original version of Bolton Abbey in the Olden Times remains in the collection of the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth, having been painted by Sir Edwin Henry Landseer in 1834. The image must have been immediately popular as by 1836 Samuel Cousins produced an engraving of the original which was to be widely circulated with examples in the Victoria and Albert Museum (E.277-1970) and in the Royal Collection (RCIN 815137), to name but two. The image was also copied in oil such as an example in the Mercer Art gallery and another at the Beacon Museum in Whitehaven. While making prints or copies after an original painting was relatively commonplace in the 19th century it was more unusual for the same to happen with the decorative arts. The image chased on the present jug is immediately recognisable as being after Landseer, as is the painting on the Victorian papier-mâché cake plate illustrated above.With non-transferable standard ivory exemption declaration number 56WBCGNS.Fully marked underneath. The marks are clear. There is some overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. The wear is noticeable as a softening to the high points and engraving. There is some discolouration and scratching to the ivory insulators. The base is slightly bruised and so the jug rocks slightly when placed on a flat surface.
