6th-7th century AD. A lead plaque with monogram impression to both sides, with Greek letters; and a ceramic pilgrim token, stamped to one side with bearded figure of a St Simeon Stylites, standing atop a column, robed wearing a pointed hat, flanked by two angles, ladder to the bottom right, incense burner to the bottom left. Cf. British Museum, accession number: 1991,0601.1 for a token with similar design. 23.3 grams total, 22-25.5mm (1"). Property of a Mayfair lady; formerly in an important London collection formed since 1965. The term Stylite or 'pillar-saint' refers to a type of Christian ascetic who lived on top of a column. The first of these was the Saint Simeon Stylites the Elder, possibly represented here, who took up residence atop a column in Syria in AD 423. The practice was adopted across the eastern empire, documented in Greece and the Middle East, but never spread to the western empire. From their column-residence, a stylite would pray, preach, fast and conduct pastoral work. Disciples would bring sustenance with the help of a ladder, depicted on this token. [2] Fine condition.
A pair of mid-Victorian ebonised and burr walnut drawing room chairs with upholstered seats and back, raised on turned and fluted supports, together with a Victorian mahogany toilet mirror and a further oval Edwardian overmantle mirror with bevelled edge mirror plate and small step ladder, orchard and pear
A magnificent dining table and ten-chair set; the large (310cm x 110cm) table plank-topped (fruitwood/walnut?) with angular cleated ends/sides and raised upon two bulbous squared baluster-form supports terminating in large scrolls and united by a central stretcher; together with a set of ten ash rush-seated ladder-back armchairs; most probably originally supplied by I & JL Brown, Kings Road, London, SW6; CONDITION REPORT: The chairs push flush against the table when not in use although the arms fit underneath the planked table top some of them are a tight fit. This may be due to the fact that presently the scrolling base is half standing on decorative carpet and the other half on normal flooring. We think that normally they would slide underneath the table.
PLEASE NOTE - IN THE AUCTIONEER'S OPINION, THIS IS A 'MATCHED' SET A rare set of ten (8+2) early 19th century fruitwood elm and beech Windsor chairs (Buckinghamshire region); the chair in the manner of the Markham workshop, High Wycombe, the carvers with ladder-back-style rails, each rail centred with a carved roundel above an elm saddle-seat, the outswept shaped arms above bowed supports, each chair raised on four turned tapering slightly splaying legs united by an 'H' form stretcher, overall of good originality, colour and patination (10) CONDITION REPORT: These appear to have a nice overall original colour and patination with the lighter areas along the back rails, arms and seats as expected. There is some scuffing mostly towards the bottom of the legs commensurate with age. Where the chair legs affix to the undersides of the elm seats these appear to be tight and therefore the chairs are mainly sturdy. One elm seat has an approx. 3/4cm crack running from the front into the seat itself and this can be seen on the front on the edge and also underneath. The rails appear in good condition, some of the back legs exhibit scuffing, scratches and marks as you would expect commensurate with age. One other elm seat does have a 2/3cm crack coming in from the back although this is a very tight crack and is only visibly upon close inspection. There is also one other elm seats also has a crack where the right hand vertical support runs into it. Another chair has a crack at the back of the seat where the right hand vertical runs into it. There is some minor evidence of historic woodworm to some of the chair legs have “splashing” etc. One of the carvers has historic woodworm to the seat (mostly to the front) and also has a split to the right hand arm rest where it meets the bowed support and there is some evidence that this arm has been re-strengthened with a screw which has been plugged afterwards. The chairs are not without faults but in our opinion could be restored to a high level with nice colour patination and condition by a qualified restorer. The armchair with the sticker on the arms where they affix to the vertical uprights have been strengthened at some time. Some of the elm seats have minor twisting/bowing. The chairs have been entered privately from a good client and are in reasonable original general overall condition for age.
