There are no loose joints. We can see no evidence of any repairs. The rush seats themselves are all in surprising good order without the usual losses and breaks. The chairs do have some minor scuffs and marks and polish deterioration as one might expect with no significant issues.

CONDITION REPORT: All chairs are structurally very sound with no loose joints One appears to have had a repair and that is a very good spliced repair to the rear leg of one of the carvers. It is a good strong repair and barely visible. The chairs are all a little scuffed and marked and require a clean and polish. The upholstery is also tired and worn and three of the seats are torn and have minor losses to the leather. They are a good set of chairs that require some work.

See Hattatt, R., Ancient Brooches And Other Artefacts, A Fourth Selection of Brooches from the author's Collection, Oxbow Books, 1989, p.229, fig.110, Item 1706, for a very similar example; see MacGregor, A., and Bolick, E., A Summary Catalogue of the Anglo-Saxon Collections (Non-Ferrous Metals), British Archaeological Reports, British Series 230, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 1993, p.148, 16.2, for a very similar example; see Pollington, S., Kerr, L., Hammond, B., Weyland's Work, Anglo-Saxon Art, Myth & Material Culture from the 4th to 7th Century, Anglo-Saxon Books, 2010, p.238, for a comparable brooch. Hammond, B., British Artefacts, Volume 1 - Early Anglo-Saxon, Witham, 2009, p.38, fig.1.1.4.4-c, where it is illustrated with a scale of 1:1; See Pollington, S., Kerr, L., Hammond, B., Weyland's Work, Anglo-Saxon Art, Myth & Material Culture from the 4th to 7th Century, Anglo-Saxon Books, 2010, plate 26, for this item. 24 grams, 10.3cm (3"). Found Melton Mowbray, Lincolnshire, UK; accompanied by a signed copy of British Artefacts, Volume 1 - Early Anglo-Saxon, where it is published on page 38. Brett Hammond wrote the following about English Radiate-Headed Brooches in his book published in 2009: 'Radiate-headed bow brooches are found in the south-east of England, mainly in Kent; they were originally a Gothic fashion copied by the Lombards and Franks, and then transferred to the court at Canterbury. In England, the brooches appear to date from c.525 to c.600. They occur with high-status female burials. There are occassional finds in England of Gothic bow brooches with lozenge-shaped feet, a type which springs from the same background design tradition but this does not appear to have been a common English design, and the finds were probably imported.' Very fine condition. A rare opportunity to acquire a published English Saxon brooch of a rare type.

Ex British private collection, London, UK; acquired prior to 2000; accompanied by an independent specialist report and valuation by graduate gemmologist and jewellery expert Anna Rogers, GIA GG, BA, Gem-A, ref. no.163701/1/9/2020. Rosicrucianism was a 17th century European spiritual and cultural movement derived from a number of mystical texts relating to a secret order with political and economic power. Its proponents claimed that the order was founded on ancient esoteric principles which govern the universe. The background to the Rosicrucian order combined elements of Kabbalah, Hermeticism, alchemy and Christian mysticism in an attempt to combine religious orthodoxy with scientific principles and discoveries. It is often dismissed as an elaborate hoax, but has sometimes enjoyed widespread acceptance through an association with Freemasonry. Very fine condition.
