H.M. King Edward VIII (later the Duke of Windsor), fine English navy wool fur lined overcoat with Astrakhan collar made for the monarch in 1934 by Simpson & London Ltd when he was Prince of Wales. This very stylish coat is cut in the military fashion with wool twill body, double breasted front with two rows of six polished horn buttons and features an angled breast pocket and angled side pockets with flaps, upturned cuffs and wide Astrakhan collar. It is further enhanced with a nutria fur lining for extra warmth. The inside pocket bears the tailor's label marked 'H.R.H.The Prince of Wales K.G./ No.X4-438 and dated 2.11.34. The size is chest 40in (102cm), length 49in, (124cm)H.R.H. The Duke of Windsor as he became was considered a leader of men's fashion even down to the way he tied his ties (the Windsor Knot). In his book 'A Family Album' published in 1960, he recalls this coat being made for him as a gift by his old friend and equerry, General Trotter, and had served him well as an invaluable cold-weather asset: "In New York, when I venture out into the streets in the winter, I almost always put on a heavy, fur lined overcoat..... My grandfather, who liked to wear a coat with an Astrakhan collar, might have not have scorned this one of mine.....'After the Duke and Duchess of Windsor died this coat and the rest of their possessions were sold by Sothebys in several monumental sales in New York in 1997. The coat which had been so beautifully cared for along with the rest of the Duke's wardrobe by his loyal valet Sydney Johnson, was numbered lot 2865 and far exceeded its estimate of 1500-2500 dollars going on to make 20,700 dollars (approx £15,000 at the time). This is a very rare opportunity to buy a very stylish and beautifully made Royal overcoat with guaranteed provenance belonging to one of the most famous and controversial British monarchs of the 20th century.

Frank Thomas Copnall (1870-1949) Portrait of a lady, three quarter length, seated, wearing a brown cloche hat and overcoat Signed, oil on canvas, 85.5cm by 70cm Unlined, one key missing, lacking in tension. Dirt and debris trapped behind bottom stretcher. From the reverse, there is a square of paint on the back of the canvas top left (unclear why), and large patch of white paint partially covered with brown paper behind the face. It is unclear what this has been applied for, as there is no obvious damage to the face. Possibly done to support the fine canvas where the paint is thickest and prevent cracking/quilting?There is a small convex distortion bottom left corner, where something has poked the canvas from behind - minor paint loss associated with this. There are minor passages of stable, flat brittle age craquelure. There are some passages, notably in the mid browns, where the paint is thin and the pale ground can be see through.Most notably, there are passages of a white material on the surface, largely associated with the darkest areas of paint. Unclear what this is, possibly material leaching out of the paint (see images). Slighly uneven surface gloss in these areas. Varnish slighly yellowed, light surface dirt and accretions. No restoration visible.
