Robert Kelsey P.A.I. Crystal Cove Sunset, Barbados oil on canvas, signed 51cm x 61cm Note: Robert Kelsey was born in Glasgow and studied at the Glasgow School of Art (1966-1970) under David Donaldson, Alexander Goudie and James D. Robertson. Kelsey has earned a formidable reputation as one of Scotland's finest and most sought after contemporary artists. His numerous one man shows in London in particular enjoy huge success and his sell out exhibition at Thompson's Gallery (London) in 2004 was reported on BBC's "Breakfast" as "one of the biggest contemporary art exhibitions in London in recent years". The prestigious Thompson's Gallery described the event as "the most successful solo exhibition we have ever had". Robert has been a regular exhibitor for many years at The Royal Glasgow Institute, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Paisley Art Institute, The Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour and The Royal Scottish Academy. He has enjoyed success in New York , Budapest and Chicago and is widely exhibited throughout the UK. He has featured in many magazines including "Homes & Interiors" and "Scotland Magazine" and BBC News 24 has reported his achievements. The book "Robert Kelsey-the artist" was published in 2004. His style is distinctly "Contemporary Scottish Colourist" and although his work reveals his GSA training the strongest influences remain Peploe and Cadell. Robert writes : "I love the loneliness and serenity to be found at certain locations such as the beaches of the Outer Hebrides. I say "loneliness", which sounds like a bad thing, better to describe it as being at peace in serene places, where you can be alone with your thoughts, listen to the sea birds and the trickle of water". Robert's home and studio are in Paisley but his commercial success has allowed him to travel the world in search of the light and colour that are such strong features within his work. This broadening of horizons has been reflected in his "gallery prices" as his career and reputation continues to flourish. Kelsey collectors include : Sir Arnold Clark, The Duke of Bedford, Lord McFarlane of Bearsden, Cairn Energy PLC, Credit Lyonnais Bank, Taylor Woodrow, The Dunfermline Building Society, Highland Spring Water, Enterprise Oil, Paisley Art Gallery, Turnberry Hotel & Golf Club, Alliance & Leicester Building Society, Arisaig Partners (Asia) and The Fleming Collection.

A pair of 1955 British Grand Prix commemorative onyx ashtrays, with electroplated silver plaques inscribed AINTREE 8TH R.A.C. BRITISH GRAND PRIX 16TH JULY 1955 beneath crossed Union and Chequered flags, 10 by 7.5 by 4cm., 4 by 3 by 1 3/4in.; together with an unused race programme with exclusive cover and set of unused complimentary tickets to the same event comprising: an invitation to a pre-race cocktail party, a 'yellow' car park windscreen sticker and route map, two luncheon and tea tickets, two complimentary enclosure badges for the County Stand balcony, all contained in a printed card wallet bearing The Daily Telegraph sponsor's logo, along with a personally signed letter from the Editor of Light Car magazine returning the tickets 'due to pressures of work' (a qty.) The RAC decided to award its Grand Prix to the new venue so that northerners might be better served by its location than with Silverstone. At the time, Aintree was considered smooth and wide, though somewhat sinuous in layout, a drawback more than compensated for by the lavish horse racing facilities and grandstands on offer.

Lot 73

The Grand National Trophy of 1910: in the form of a large silver-gilt vase & cover by Elkington & Company, hallmarked Birmingham, 1909, the body engraved THE GRAND NATIONAL TROPHY 1910, flanked by two classical female figures of victory, the cover surmounted by a model of the Greek mythological winged horse Pegasus ridden by the hero Bellerophon, the neck of the vase further modelled with Pegasus decoration, the reverse of the body inscribed WON BY MR. STANLEY HOWARD'S JENKINSTOWN, REPRESENTED BY TOPHAMS LTD IN 1974 AS THE ANNUAL CHALLENGE TROPHY FOR THE TOPHAM TROPHY CHASE, the lower neck and base rim ornamentation further inscribed with details of the winners of the Topham Trophy from 1974 to 1982, in a fitted wooden carry case, with key, overall height 81cm., 32in., width 38cm., 15in. Jenkinstown was bred in County Meath by Mr P. Leonard in Ireland in 1901 by Hackler out of Playmate. His sire was a moderate winner on the flat but Hackler proved a very successful sire He was a difficult horse to get fit and would appear to have suffered from health issues. His masterful trainer Thomas Coulthwaite, based at Hednesford in Staffordshire, said "he needed the work of four animals." But with a light weight Coulthwaite pulled of a notable success when Jenkinstown won the 1910 Grand National under a ride from Robert Chadwick. Mr Stanley McKnight Howard's gelding never won another race and indeed fell in two subsequent Grand Nationals. Howard had previously won the Grand National with Eremon in 1907. This trophy was re-acquired by Tophams Ltd in the 1970s and was then used annually as the challenge trophy for the Topham Chase run over one circuit of the Grand National course between 1974 and 1982.

A gold and enamel stick pin of a racehorse and jockey, the rider decorated in the regimental racing colours of the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry. This pin was the property of Mr Edward Lycett Wheelwright OBE and was a gift from his wife to celebrate the success of his racehorse Royal Grey at Wetherby. Mr Wheelwright was an officer in the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and used the regimental colours for his racehorses. The pin is believed to have been made by the Leeds and London jewellers Z Barraclough in the inter-war years.

Lot 207

Five vintage jockeys' jackets, colours comprising: red with green braces, the inside collar label inscribed PIGGOTT; yellow & black check, white sleeves, the label inscribed L. SMITH; red & light blue halved, the label inscribed RENSHAW; maroon & pink halved, the label inscribed RENSHAW; & blue with a white Cross of Lorraine and sleeves, the label inscribed L.K. LESTER. These colours came from Peter Ashworth's Epsom stables that closed in the early 1980s. There appear to be two references to Lester Piggott, and presumably he wore these particular silks in races. Peter Ashworth began training at Epsom in the mid-1950s having been a jockey for some 20 years. His greatest success came with the filly Lady Senator who won the Irish 1000 Guineas in 1961.
