John Frederick Herring the Elder (1795-1865) - Mr John Bowes' Mundig, Winner of the Derby Stakes at Epsom, 1835 Oil on canvas Signed and dated 1835 lower right 71 x 91 cm. (28 x 35 3/4 in) Provenance: [possibly] The Right Rev. Thomas Edward Witham, Lartington Hall; Mr Francis Somerland Silvertop, (of Minsteracres, Northumberland), Lartington Hall, circa 1897; Mr David Magnus Spence, (of Shotley Bridge), Lartington Hall, circa 1912; Norman Field Esq., M.H. of Lartington Hall, circa 1917 Anonymous sale; Thomas Agnew & Sons Ltd.; Mrs Laura Clegg of Abbey Wood, Delamere, and thence by descent until 1958; Private collection, UK. Engraved: Charles Hunt, published by S. & J. Fuller, London, 1835 [after another version] Mr John Bowes (1811-1885) won the Derby four times, the first being with Mündig in 1835, whose name means 'of age' in German; apparently in reference to Bowes' youth, who was only 24 and still at Cambridge when Mündig won the Derby. One of Mündig's claims to fame as a stallion was his exceptional savagery, and it was reported that on one occasion he ran amok and killed a man. Mündig was ridden by William "Bill" Scott, who was one of the greatest riders of his time, winning the Derby four times, the St. Leger nine times (four in succesive years) and the Oaks three times. It has been said that had he not been blind drunk he would also have won the 1846 Derby on his own horse, Sir Tatton Sykes. The horses in the present composition, in the near foreground from the left to right, are Lord Jersey's Ibrahim , Lord Warwick's Pelops , Mr J. H. Peel's Trim , Lord Orford's Ascot, Mr J. Robinson's Stockport , Duke of Cleveland's Memnon , Duke of Richmond's Elizondo , Mr R. Pettitt's Ibrahim , Mr Robert Ridsdale's Luck's All , Mr Robert Ridsdale's Coriolanus , Duke of Rutland's Florestan , Sir Gilbert Heathcote's Valentissimo , and Lord Jersey's Silenus . There are several other known versions depicting Mr John Bowes' Mundig, Winner of the Derby Stakes at Epsom, 1835 , which include a smaller painting currently held in The Doncaster Musuem and Art Gallery, a version held by the Scottish National Trust at Brodick Castle, and a larger version that was sold by Sotheby's, New York [ 'In Celebration of the English Country House', April 12, 1996, lot 56, sold for $2,250,000]. The current painting would appear to be a more refined and polished example of the Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery version, which is believed to be the painting that was engraved by Charles Hunt.

Design: Croydon layers Artist: Matt Bannister  About the artist Matt likes to put characters in places, objects in locations and buildings in spaces. Inspired by cities and people, he uses strong lines, textures and fun colours. A creative and photography commissioner with the BBC's Marketing and Publicity Department for over thirteen years, he decided to leave the Daleks and costume dramas behind and return to what he loved the most (and was originally trained in) - creating things with ink, paint, pencils and pixels.  About the design There is a wide range of architecture to see in Croydon, from the modern to the traditional. This design fuses some of its iconic buildings together in a series of layers, taking elements from The Whitgift Almshouses, No.1 Croydon, the roof of the Town Hall and the windows of the new Saffron Tower. In case people forget the importance of buses in the area, the design includes a range of route numbers that all depart from or arrive at Croydon. Location: Mint Walk   Dimensions: Length- 2.4m Width 0.5m Height- 0.95m

Attributed to John Russell, RA (British, 1745-1806) after William Hoare of Bath (British, 1706-1799) Portrait of Christopher Anstey (1724-1805), three-quarter length, seated in a Library, in blue pastel on paper 59 x 49cm (23 x 19in) Provenance: By descent within the Anstey family to the present owner. Christopher Anstey was a poet and writer, author of The New Bath Guide of 1766, a satirical review in verse of fashionable society. He was perhaps most famous for his translation of "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray into Latin, and also various scurrilous verses. Horace Walpole described "The New Bath Guide" as "so much wit, so much humour, fun, and poetry, so much originality, never met before". Christopher Anstey was born at Brinkey in Cambridgeshire, educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge, and then settled down to run the family's estates. He married Ann, daughter of Felix Calvert of Albury Hall, Hertfordshire, in 1756. After the great success of his Bath Guide, he and his wife moved to Bath, where they lived happily for nearly half a century. The Anstey family owned Anstey Hall, Trumpington, Cambridgeshire, between 1748 and 1838. The present portrait appears to derive from the William Hoare of Bath portrait of Christopher Anstey now in the National Portrait Gallery, but that painting includes one of his young daughters holding a doll. Pastel - has been cleaned. Old water damage.

A George III mahogany serpentine commode, attributed to Henry Hill, Marlborough, circa 1770 in the French taste with serpentine corners and three long drawers, the top drawer fitted with a baize lined brushing slide and provision for a mirror (missing), open compartments and four lidded small compartments, the base with scallop waved apron, the top with crossbanded and line inlaid border decoration to flame figured veneers, repeated to the drawer fronts, with cast ormolu handles and the corners mounted with ormolu foliate shutes tailing to scroll cast sabots 85 x 128 x 65cm (33 x 50 x 25in) Provenance: A gift to Murray Edwards College from Dame Rosemary Murray, one of the founders and first President of New Hall, Cambridge, known today as Murray Edwards College. Noted in the College's list of donations as "Chippendale serpentine chest of drawers (Mrs C Dodgson)". Frances Catherine Spooner Dodgson (1883 - 1954) was Dame Rosemary's aunt and daughter of William Archibald Spooner, Warden of New College Oxford, best known for the 'Spoonerism'. She was an artist and married Campbell Dodgson, a distant cousin of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll author of Alice in Wonderland. Campbell Dodgson was Keeper of Prints at the British Museum from 1912 -1932 and at his death in 1949 bequeathed over 5,000 prints to the museum. Literature: Henry Hill was active in Marlborough Wiltshire from c1740 until his death in 1778 where he ran a diverse business encompassing furniture making, coach making, house agency and auctioneering. He was described in his obituary in 1778 as 'one of the most eminent cabinet makers and upholsterers in the Kingdom' which was considered a great tribute to a cabinet maker working outside London. His clients were predominately Wiltshire landowners including the 9th Duke of Somerset at Maiden Bradley, Paul Methuen at Corsham Court, Henry Hoare at Stourhead, and the Earl Bathurst at Cirencester Park. Hill was clearly aware of the prevailing London fashions and would have had access to publications including Chippendale's designs for French Commode Tables (The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director 1st Edition1754; Plate LXVI 3rd Edition 1763). He was also known to have employed immigrant labour (most likely German). All this is reflected in the designs of his furniture. His French Commodes were made with a number of variations dependent on his clients' needs and budgets but invariably of serpentine form with flame figured veneers or marquetry, ormolu mounted corners and a lobed front apron. The most documented commissions were for Lord Delaval (see bombe marquetry commode sold Bonhams London 19 October, 2011). It seems likely that Hill had contact with Pierre Langlois with some of the mounts on his commodes being attributed to Langlois. The French Commodes were sometimes fitted with dressing slides (see Duke of Somerset commode reference below) whilst the present commode has the top drawer designed with a series of boxes and compartments for brushes, powder boxes etc. The closest example to this present commode with serpentine front and straight sides sold at Christies November 28, 2002, Lot 120 (provenance the Duke of Somerset). In contrast to this commode with its dressing slide see George III gilt brass mounted mahogany and goncalo alves Commode with top drawer originally fitted for dressing with divisions (Sothebys, April 21 2009, Lot 84). See The Lady Lever Art Gallery, Catalogue of Commodes, 1994, Lucy Wood for further discussion on characteristics of Henry Hill commodes. Original country house condition, evidence of an old repair to a small section of banding running along the back of the top, small veneer losses to the carcase at the drawer division joints and between the drawers, a broken key remains in the lock of the second drawer, dulled mounts, but present and lacking the mirror to the fitted drawer. The back is panelled.
