Ca. 200-300 AD. A terracotta oil lamp of a teardrop shape, with a small spout and a central recess for filling oil. The main body of the lamp is fashioned in the likeness of a frog, complete with detailed features such as bulging eyes, webbed feet, and a stylized back. The Romano-Egyptian terracotta oil lamp demonstrates the fusion of Egyptian and Roman artistic styles and techniques. The use of oil lamps was widespread in the ancient world, serving as a primary source of artificial light before the advent of electricity. The invention of oil lamps is believed to date back to the Bronze Age, and they continued to be used throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages. In addition to their practical uses, oil lamps also held symbolic and cultural significance, reflecting the artistic and religious traditions of the cultures that produced them.Size: L:72mm / W:58mm ; 70gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old London collection formed in the 1990s.

Lot 553
North Africa, Ca. 400-500 AD. A terracotta oil lamp of a round body with a spout on one end and a lug on the other. The body of the lamp is decorated with a recessed tondo in the center, and it features a palm tree, which is a symbol of victory, peace, and abundance in the Roman world. The palm is depicted with a slender trunk and a crown of fronds that spread out in all directions. The fronds are finely detailed and create a sense of movement and energy. The tree is surrounded by a raised border of relief decoration. The lug to the back of the lamp would have been used to hold the lamp while it was being used. The spout was used to pour oil into the lamp, while the two holes in the tondo would have allowed air to enter the lamp and help to regulate the flame. The lamp would have been filled with oil and then a wick made of linen or cotton would have been inserted into the spout. The wick would have been lit and the lamp would have provided light for the household. Oil lamps were an essential part of daily life in the Roman world. They were used for lighting homes, temples, and public spaces and were also used in funerary rituals. Oil lamps were typically made of clay, bronze, or glass and were fueled by olive oil.Size: L:130mm / W:80mm ; 125gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old London collection formed in the 1990s.

Circular discus with a filling hole, decorated with a mask in relief and framed with raised edge. Ring base and pierced handle. Oil lamps were an important commodity in the ancient Roman world and were used for both practical and religious purposes.

The production of oil lamps was a specialized craft, and the resulting lamps varied greatly in terms of quality and complexity.Size: L:113mm / W:66mm ; 90gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old London collection formed in the 1990s.
Lot 704
Ca. 100-200 AD. A finely crafted terracotta oil lamp with a small spout for the wick, which is fed with oil through a filling hole slightly off the center of the lamp. The looped handle on the rear of the lamp would have been used to carry or hang the lamp, and the flat base would have allowed it to be set down on a surface without tipping over. The tondo is decorated with an animal(?) in relief and the perimeter of the lamp is adorned with a set of circumferential grooves. Terracotta oil lamps were the most common type of Roman oil lamp and the process of making them typically involved several steps. First, the clay would be prepared and shaped into a basic form, usually by hand. Then, the lamp would be placed in a mold to add decorative elements, such as relief designs or figurative scenes. After the decorative elements were added, the lamp would be fired in a kiln to harden the clay and produce a durable final product.Size: L:73mm / W:54mm ; 30gProvenance: Property of a North London gentleman; previously acquire on the UK/European art market in the 1980s.
Lot 251
Judean, Late Roman / Early Byzantine, ca. 4th-5th century AD. A ceramic oil lamp of a teardrop-shaped body that features a recessed discus with relief cross decoration.

The shoulder of the lamp is further enhanced by intricate relief embellishment, which includes a large cross on the front. The lamp sits on a flat base while the loop handle with a central groove enhances the ease of handling and transport. Ceramic oil lamps were widely used in the Byzantine Empire for both practical and symbolic purposes. They provided a reliable and portable source of light that could be used both indoors and outdoors. The use of oil lamps was not limited to the domestic sphere; they were also used in religious and ceremonial contexts. For example, lamps were used in churches and during religious processions to symbolize the light of Christ and the faith of the worshippers.Size: L: 132mm / W: 82mm ; 120gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old British collection formed in the 1990s.

1973 Yamaha 125cc YAS3 ProjectRegistration no. WNH 384L (see text)Frame no. AS3-017282Engine no. AS3-017282Yamaha's first twin-cylinder model in the 125cc category arrived in 1969 in the form of the YAS1 sports roadster, a development of the 100cc YL1. With 15bhp on tap, the five-speed YAS1 was as fast as many British 250s, and owners were soon exploiting its potential for racing. The successor YAS2 did not reach Europe but its heavily revised YAS3 successor did, boasting significant improvements to the engine, gearbox, frame, and brakes together with a reshaped tank and side panels. Suffering from surface corrosion throughout, although apparently substantially complete apart from the missing mirrors and tail lamp, this YAS3 is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. The odometer reading is 27,459 miles. The machine is offered without documents; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the validity of the VRN and will need to apply to the DVLA to re-register/obtain a V5C. Offered without keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Featured in the 1981 movie Chariots of Fire1923 Rudge 500cc Four-Speed Motorcycle CombinationRegistration no. PW 1216Frame no. 824804Engine no. 26969•Rudge sidecar•Present ownership since 2005•Restoration completed by 2006•Last used in September 2022This handsome Rudge combination was featured in Hugh Hudson's multiple Academy Award-winning 1981 movie Chariots of Fire (see image), and in 1985 won the 'Best Rudge' award at the VMCC International Assembly while owned by one G (George) Robinson (copy of results available). A letter on file from Bryan Reynolds of the Rudge Enthusiasts Club advises that this machine was assembled at the factory on 17th April 1923 and had gearbox number '218' (which it retains). The tank colour was described as Apple Green, which is a lighter shade than the famous Multi model's Olive Green.The current vendor purchased the Rudge in 2005 from a John Bell in Darlington. Mr Bell had acquired the Rudge from the aforementioned George Robinson, who owned a motorcycle shop in Darlington and had purchased the machine from Leicester. Prior to that, it is believed the Rudge was based in Norfolk (it has a Norwich registration). Purchased by our vendor as a 'basket case', the Rudge had been restored by the end of 2006. The vendor re-soldered the fuel tank himself, while the tank lining and 'Rudge' name were hand painted by a professional signwriter friend. Notable features include a Rudge single-seat sidecar with black leather upholstery (chassis number '3.1725'); Stewart speedometer; Klaxon 'Type ES' horn; Lucas 'King of the Road' acetylene headlamp and generator; Lucas sidecar lamp; BTH Magneto; and a Senspray carburettor. (It should also be noted that the engine runs on Castrol-R oil.) 'PW 1216' was ridden to Darlington town centre for the Vintage vehicle show in July 2022 and was last used in September 2022 at the Beamish Museum (the vendor visits the Northern Steam weekend at the Beamish Museum twice a year on the Rudge). The accompanying history file contains photographs of George Robinson and wife on the Rudge; with the current vendor at the Beamish Museum's Northern Steam weekend; and as seen in Chariots of Fire. Other documents include a current V5C; expired MoTs (most recent 2013); Rudge Enthusiasts Club invoices/receipts; some restoration photographs; and various copies of marque-related literature and technical notes.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1969 BSA 250CC B25 StarfireRegistration no. WYX 36G (see text)Frame no. CC13346 B25SEngine no. CC13346 B25SBSA revamped its unitary construction singles range for 1967; the new B25 Starfire and C25 Barracuda models retaining the same basic engine layout as the outgoing C15 but with a stronger Victor-type crankcase assembly and new 'square-fin' alloy cylinder barrel. Inside, there was a stronger one-piece forged crankshaft and, somewhat unusually for a single, a split shell-type big-end bearing. Currently displaying an odometer reading of 4,694 miles (unwarranted), this B25 has belonged to the elderly owner since 1978. The machine's mechanical condition and completeness are not known and thus it is sold strictly as viewed (note the US-specification tail lamp assembly). A most rewarding project that will require restoration before further use, the machine comes with an old V5 document; however, the Vehicle Registration Number has lapsed from the DVLA/HPI database. Accordingly, the buyer will need to contact the DVLA to re-register this motorcycle. Offered with workshop manuals.Offered with keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1930 Indian 750cc 101 ScoutRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. EGP 680Engine no. EGP 680This Series 101 Scout is believed to have been supplied new to the UK where it was used on 'The Wall of Death', which may account for it never being registered for road use. The machine has recently undergone a complete mechanical and cosmetic restoration in 'Bobber' style. The 'Bobber' jettisons surplus weight in pursuit of increased performance, and to this end later and rarer Sport Scout cylinders with larger valves and manifold have been installed. The bike has a rebuilt period-correct Bosch magdyno as well as a period Linkert carburettor and the iconic 'Feather Face' Autolite horn.One of many other interesting details is the 'skull' gear knob, while the gear lever itself curls down in a graceful arc, referencing the machine's previous life on 'The Wall of Death' where the riders used their knee to shift gears. Also note the Corbin speedometer. LED bulbs are installed in both the John Brown Motolamp headlight and the period US rear lamp, ingeniously wired to perform both stop and tail light functions. Yet another bespoke and unique feature is the 'Coast to Coast' auxiliary oil tank. This feature not only relieves the rider of any 'total loss' oiling anxiety, but also doubles up as a chain oiling device. Offered with an Indian Riders Motorcycle Club dating letter, this unique machine has not been run since the restoration's completion in 2022. Key not required.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
