Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Cardinal and Red Carnation" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood Commemorative cover for the Ohio "Balke's Birds and Flowers" series, cancelled March 1, 1985. The male Cardinal brings the female tidbits of berries and insects during the two weeks that she incubates the three bluish-white eggs spotted with brown. While she prepares another nest for a second set of eggs, the male often takes complete charge of the fledglings, feeding them grasshoppers and beetles. So strong is the male Cardinal's instinct to feed young birds that he sometimes thrusts food down the throats of nestlings of other species. When out of the nest, the fledglings wear a plumage even browner and duller than their mother's garb, but soon their undersides turn lighter and the crests of the young male birds become reddish in color. The Red Carnation, a European native, has been cultivated for the last two thousand years. Its name is derived from the Latin carnis, flesh, because the flower is commonly thought of as being pale pink, or flesh-colored. It was honored with the title of state flower of Ohio in memory of President William McKinley. He was born in Niles, Ohio, in 1843, and it was his favorite flower. More than one hundred varieties of Carnations have been developed by man from the original wild pink, which had only five petals. Carnations come in many colors, all with highly fragrant flowers. Some varieties have a narrow edging of a second color trimming the petals. Image Size: 11 x 12.75 in. Overall Size: 18.25 x 21 in. Unframed. (B09345)
Ivan Kozlov (Russian, B. 1937) "Tufted Duck" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the Russian 250 Tufted Duck stamp issued July 1, 1994. Also known as the Tufted Pochard, this creature is considered to be one of the most abundant ducks found across the Palearctic area stretching between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Throughout the year the Tufted Duck inhabits a variety of locations from expanses of tundra to regions of semi-desert. During the winter months, this species frequents seashores and bays such as those found along Russia's Black, Azov and Caspian Seas. Nesting takes place in various locales as well. From late April to July -- the breeding season of Tufted Ducks -- some nests are built on floating mat or islets, and others are hidden in dry reeds among dense vegetation. While the hen begins the task of incubation, males gather together to moult. Shedding all of their feathers, including the distinctive purplish-brown plumes of their heads and necks, the drakes soon acquire eclipse plumage -- a dull covering that exhibits considerably less contrast than the breeding attire. The female's subdued coloration is similar to that of the male's eclipse plumage, however her bill is slightly darker. Although its head and upper parts are lighter brown, the juvenile Tufted Duck closely resembles its mother. During its first fall and winter, this young duck begins to acquire adult plumage, and by the following summer the transformation is complete. Image Size: 13.25 x 11.75 in. Overall Size: 20.75 x 15.25 in. Unframed. (B14761)

1949 TRIUMPH ROADSTER 2000 CONVERTIBLE AN ICON OF POST-WAR BRITISH MOTORING - WITH ONE VERY NOTABLE FORMER OWNER. - Registration no. GSP 360 - Chassis no. TRA278 - Engine no. 33Y - Colour: brown - Mileage in 1971: 65,000 - Personally owned by legendary musician and broadcaster Jimmie MacGregor MBE since 1971 - New four-cylinder 2088cc Standard Vanguard replacement engine from War Dept installed in the early-1970s and registering only 943 miles since then - Complete body-off restoration (including hood fitted by Mr. Timms the original maker for Triumph) - Regularly serviced and maintained - Full aluminium body with heavy duty fibreglass wings; new tyres used over fewer than 100 miles; stainless steel exhaust; Wilton carpet; original leather interior; recent battery; new petrol tank - Folding rear “dickey” seats and windscreen - A range of accompanying documentation, including original owner’s manual and instruction book, registration book, registration certificate, receipts, MOT certificates, restoration photographs etc. First released in 1946, the Triumph Roadster owes its longevity at least in part to the steel shortages felt in the aftermath of war, the Standard Motor Company instead electing to use lighter-weight and more durable aluminium. With panels constructed over an ash frame, using the same machinery and techniques employed in the manufacturing of the wartime Mosquito bomber, the Roadster soon developed a reputation for robustness and consequently amassed a faithful following. Today, there are reckoned to be around 400 of the original 4,500 still in roadworthy condition. The distinctively bulbous front wheel arches, while undoubtedly the most obvious, are far from the Roadster’s only distinguishing feature. The inclusion of the, by 1946, fairly archaic “dickey seats” meant that one’s two-seater Roadster could be converted (through the deployment of additional folding seating concealed in the boot compartment) into a more capacious four-seater tourer, with the rear passengers even benefitting from the luxury of personal wind-screening. The Roadster’s sedate ride was enlivened in 1948, when Standard upgraded the 1.8-litre engine to a more powerful 2.1-litre unit. This late example, 1949 being the final year of production, is one of approx. 2,000 benefiting from the increased horsepower (to 68bhp) and top speed (circa-80mph) afforded. Though the majority of people will forever associate the Triumph Roadster with fictional Jersey detective Jim Bergerac, this particular car has been owned and driven by a decidedly non-fictional, culturally significant individual: veteran Scottish musician, writer and broadcaster Jimmie MacGregor MBE. Acquired by Jimmie in 1971, the Roadster spent fifteen years on display in the Glasgow Transport Museum and has never, during his ownership, been exposed to rain. An artful herringbone dash inlay, executed by a guitar-builder friend of Jimmie’s, is a charming personal touch. INcluded with the lot is a fog lamp and a spare set of number plates. Potential buyers should satisfy themselves regarding descriptions and condition of each lot prior to sale. Each vehicle is offered as seen. Buyers and their agents can view and inspect the vehicle by appointment only. Contact Tommy Alexander.

dating: Period (1603-1867) provenance: Japan, In suaka nade-kaku-gata, with beautiful, silver hira-zogan depiction and shishiai-bori (and ke-bori). The omote featuring a deep kebori engraving worked as the roughness of the trunk, and a lighter and more delicate engraving for the branches. The flowers and buds are made of hira-zogan, a coloured inlay remaining at the surface level, made of finished silver. The 'hato' pigeon is made of shakudo with the same technique and featuring a gold eye. On the ura a shakudo 'karasu' crow is depicted, with the same technique, on the branches of an old dying tree around which the tendrils of a climbing plant are twining. Since 1500, the Goto school has been one of the most important school in Japan with its many different branches and artists. The manufacturer of this beautiful tsuba belongs to that branch referring to the naturalistic painting of Funada Ikkin. We are in the mid 19th century. The meaning of the tsuba, given the deep contrast between the two sides, might be the representation of spring and summer, or the contrast between a good future, represented by the sweet pigeon, and a bad past, represented by the crow.Provenance: Behrens CollectionChristie's sale 16/06/1999. dimensions 6.4 x 6.8 x 0.5 cm.

Y A GEORGE III SATINWOOD, MARQUETRY AND PAINTED SERPENTINE FRONTED COMMODEIN THE MANNER OF INCE & MAYHEW, CIRCA 178092.5cm high, 143cm wide, 61cm deepThe distinctive and heavily engraved neoclassical marquetry combined with the use of satinwood, sycamore and pear is characteristic of Mayhew and Ince's work.For commodes with related features see Lucy Wood, The Lady Lever Art Gallery Catalogue of Commodes, HMSO Publications, 1994, p128-129, pl 125, Lucy Wood refers to 'a distinctive group of marquetry furniture ... which is characterised by the use and disposition of highly figured veneers, especially harewood and the most unusual watered ash'. Whilst this lot being offered is satinwood, rather than ash, the veneers to the doors are unusually cut in the manner of Hungarian ash to give the distinctive grain figuring 'like watered silk'.For related 'back to back' leaf scrolls and husk marquetry see ibid p231, pl 220, a pair of corner cupboards, Badminton House, Gloucestershire.Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and useSome chips and splits, some minor losses to veneers.Some historic repairs and leg repairs incorporating some elements of later timber. visible cracks to the front leg veneers. One back leg with a clean split through it requiring re-gluing. (see images)With attractive figuring of the satinwood and of pronounced serpentine form. Good colour and patina overall. The top being lighter in colour as most often seen.The mounts complete and attached. One short mount section loose at one end. Minor evidence of old worm, including to the legs and backboard.Some minor lifting to veneers in areas throughout and expected cracking and minor loss to the corresponding painted decoration (see images)The central leg is a later replacement, there is clear evidence of an older/original leg positioned on the central timber block to the underside.. The later central leg has been applied to provide stability to the carcass, though there is still some movement or 'rocking' to the commode. This central leg has been fixed and glued from within the lower board. A later timber section has been attached to the backboard, this was most likely for affixing the commode to a wall when in situ to secure and could easily be removed.Lock is open, key is lacking.The right door does not sit entirely flush when closed, with a tapering gap appearing towards the base due to expected shrinkage over time. The lock escutcheons are not exactly level when the doors are closed due to the relatively minor movement of the doors. The previous catch fixed to the inside of the right door does not engage.Later glued down blue baize to the top surfaces of the interior shelves. Some screws to the door hinges vary in date and size. The expected shrinkage cracks/gaps along the lines of underling construction, evidenced by lifting and cracks to veneers. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition.
