* FRANK MCKELVEY RHA RUA (1895 - 1974), HORN HEAD FROM PORT-NA-BLAGH (PORTNABLAGH) oil on canvas, signed 41cm x 51cm Framed and under glass. Label verso: John Macee Limited; inscribed with title and ref no 204-6. Note: Frank McKelvey was a landscape and portrait painter born in Belfast. Before entering the Belfast School of Art he was a poster designer with David Allen & Sons. McKelvey won the Sir Charles Brett prize (1912) and the Fitzpatrick prize for figure drawing in 1914 and in 1917; he won a bronze medal in the Taylor Art competition.In the early stages of his career, Frank was commissioned by Thomas McGowan to produce pictures of Old Belfast. Once he had completed the task, the pictures were later shown in 1930 in the Ulster Museum. This gained Frank huge recognition and from 1918 to 1973, he showed pictures in the Royal Hibernian Academy without missing a year. In 1930 he became a full member of the RHA and was one of the first Academicians of the Royal Ulster Academy. In 1936, Dutch citizens in Ireland as a gift for Princess Juliana purchased several of his landscapes. S.B Kennedy wrote a book called, ‘Frank McKelvey, RHA RUA, 1993’ and in it he wrote, ‘ In essence he was a Romantic; yet in the inter-war years in particular, with his contemporaries amongst the landscapists, he helped to forge a new and distinct way of representing the Irish scene which is the nearest approximation we have to a distinct Irish school of painting….He had a sharp eye and could, with apparent ease, penetrate the essentials of his subject and set it down with a matching exactitude.’

A cast silver double-sided supporters medal for Charles I, probably dating c. 1640-1649. The medal is oval in plan, with chain loops at its apex/base and two small knops on its sides. One face of the medal depicts the draped bust of Charles I facing left, set in high relief against a recessed field. On the opposing face, the Royal arms can be seen, surmounted by a crown and surrounded by the following motto: HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE (Shame on him who thinks evil of it). Preserved in good condition, but some wear to both sides. Length: 17.4mm. Weight: 1.35g.Provenance: found Kingsey, Bucks, 2014. Treasure case 2014T607, recorded on the PAS as BH-DC4584. Discussion: a number of these medals are known to exist, some so similar that it is highly probable they were produced in some numbers for those who wished to signify their allegiance to the King. Most were probably made during the English Civil War, though it is possible that they continued (albeit discreetly!) under the Commonwealth. Similar examples in the V and A dated more broadly at c. 1640-1670.
