Martin Ridgwell. 4 of Diamonds, 'Diamond Geezers'. Drawing, graphite with body colour. Signed under mount. 29 x 21cm. Framed. Martin Ridgwell is an Artist and Printmaker based in London. Ridgwell was elected a member of The Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in 2007. I liked the concept of The Deck of Cards collaboration, and the charity itself does incredibly important work so I was glad to sign up. However, the main reason why I came on board is because it was Baroness Floella Benjamin asking me if I would like to consider taking part, so what choice did I have I mean this Floella Benjamin we're talking about ! If she asks you to do something - you do it. As soon as I read the brief, I immediately knew that I wanted the Three of Diamonds for my card, as in my head I had already conjured up the image of three young guys lounging in a rather louche way on a bed, playing with trinkets from an old jewellery box. Much to my vexation, someone else had got there before me and had already swiped it for themselves, so I quickly snatched the Four of Diamonds before anyone else could get to it - but wondering all the time how on earth I was now going to fit four stripling lads onto a piece of paper the size of a playing card Turns out all I had to do was ask them to all budge up on the bed a little bit and there was room everyone. Looking back at my original thumb nail sketch I'm surprised to see just how close it is to the finished art work, the image and composition must have been very clear in my head at the time. Where the actual idea for the image came from is not so clear, but I liked the incongruity of these four rather unwholesome characters lying on satin sheets and draping themselves in jewellery. I've been meaning to play with this theme since I last watched the movie sweet Charity, where the film's heroine ( an employee at a dance hall where clients pay to spend time with her ), encounters a famous film star who takes her back to his glamorous apartment. She cant believe her luck, and wishes her little gang of co-workers could see her now in the lap of luxury. So I guess that's basically where the germ of the idea came from for my drawing, just wanting to see how my ruffians would fare in a more glamorous setting. Obviously they're taking to it very well and that in turn led to the title of the piece, what else but Diamond Geezers.Please note that final invoices will include buyers' premium at 27% (inclusive of VAT) added to the hammer price.

Attributed to Charles Robert Ashbee, a Guild of Handicraft yellow metal pearl set enamel necklace in original fitted case, circa 1895, comprising a double row of trace link chain with push-in box snap, spaced with 8 graduating quatrefoil panels each as a stylised flower head enamelled in deep blue and set to the centre with a single baroque pearl in an enclosed claw setting, supporting a dropper section to match, nominally rectangular shaped similarly set with a single pearl and suspended from two short lengths of chain, this in turn supports a single pearl dropper, unmarked and unsignedCondition: In very good condition, noting one samll chip to the enamel on the right hand side (as you look at it) of the suspended pendant, the other light areas in the images are reflection. Literature: C R Ashbee: Architect, Designer & Romantic Socialist, Alan Crawford, publ Yale University Press, 1985, page 353, plate 177 Other Notes: Charles Robert Ashbee (1863-1942) founded the Guild and School of Handicraft in 1888. The Guild, operating as a co-operative, produced leather, furniture, silver and metalwork, jewellery and books - much of the work based on Ashbee's designs. The revival of traditional techniques, education of working people and encouraging satisfaction through work were key principles of the Arts and Craft movement and the Guild. In 1902, the Guild (150 people, the Guildsmen and their families) moved from East London to Chipping Campden. Ashbee believed that living a simple, collective life in rural surroundings would add to the health and well-being of the craftsmen and consequently, the work they produced. Although the work of the Guild was widely exhibited, increasing financial difficulties from 1905 eventually resulted in the voluntary liquidation of the Guild in 1908. The original design for this necklace is illustrated in a page from Guild’s first catalogue published in about 1895. It is described as a necklace of Blue Enamel set with Pearls This necklace also reflects the naturalistic themes developed by Ashbee with the pendant consisting of a single stone set between leaves or wings.
