* Victoria (1819-1901). Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. A deconstructed jacket, 3 parts of a crimson velvet jacket, elaborately embellished with gold soutache braid forming large feather design and sewn to castellated edge, comprising bodice in 2 parts, bust 112 (44 ins), length 74 cm (29 ins), and a wide sleeve, 48 cm (19 ins long), a few small marks, together with:Irving (Sir Henry, 1838-1905). A bow tie belonging to Sir Henry Irving, white fine cotton twill bow tie, a little discoloured, 9.6 x 88 cm (3.5 x 34.75 ins), together with a pressed carnation, and a telegram from Martin Harvey to the secretary of the Dramatic and Literary Club, Grand Hotel, Birmingham, reading 'Warm greetings to all and many regrets at inability to be present', contained together in a Grand Hotel envelope inscribed 'Worn by Sir Henry Irving Friday 7th October 1904 Birmingham', plus 2 manuscript letters from Diane Pimm pertaining to provenance QTY: (2)NOTE:According to an accompanying (later) note this was a favourite jacket of Queen Victoria: 'given to a servant at Osborne House but cut up to stop her wearing it! This was often done by the Queen apparently.' Indeed, another garment lacking a sleeve which belonged to Victoria - a black mourning bodice - passed through these rooms last year. It seems reasonable to suppose that the Queen, whilst wishing her clothes to be repurposed - particularly for the benefit of those who served her - would have thought it unseemly for her staff to be seen wearing them.Provenance for bow tie: Given by Sir Henry Irving to George Claridge, a waiter at the Grand Hotel in Birmingham; bequeathed by George Claridge to his niece Dorothy Pimm (née Claridge); given by Dorothy Pimm to her daughter-in-law Diane Pimm; given to the current owner - private collection, Derbyshire.The Irving Literary and Dramatic Club, otherwise known as The Irving Club, devoted its attention to the study of dramatic literature and orchestral music, holding meetings once a week.Sir John Martin-Harvey (1863-1944) joined Henry Irving's Lyceum Theatre company in 1882, and worked there for 14 years, often playing the lead role on tour that Irving had played in London. He took over the management of the Lyceum Theatre from Henry Irving in 1899.

* Berlin Chart Playing Cards. Jeu des Petits Points, Paris: Alphonse Giroux, circa 1820, a complete piquet deck of 32 hand-coloured engraved playing cards (French suits), each card printed with a fine grid in black, and hand-painted with a petit point chart illustration or motif to embroider, and a miniature playing card to top left corner (the courts full-length), subjects including children at play, flora and fauna, stag hunting on horseback, an alphabet, buildings, etc., plain versos, slightly rounded corners (from use?), a little dusty, several chipped to corners (10 of clubs with slightly larger loss to lower left corner), 1 or 2 short edge-tears, 9 x 6 cm (3.5 x 2.5 ins), all cards mounted with photo corners onto a black display board, encapsulated in clear plastic (42 x 59.5 cm), together with the lower half of the original pink cardboard box, front of box with a further Berlin chart and the publisher's engraved label QTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: Collection of Dudley Ollis.Illustrated: Verame, Sublime cartes à jouer, p.145.An exceptionally rare pack of early playing cards, serving a dual purpose: for playing piquet, and - most unusually - providing patterns for petit point embroidery. Embroidery on canvas by means of copying a coloured chart became very popular in the 19th century. Such work charts were first produced in the early nineteenth century in Berlin, Germany, hence their name, and they were exported in large numbers. Prior to the introduction of embroidery charts it was very rare to find needlework designs with any indication of colour choices or threads. Berlin patterns were always coloured by hand at first, until the emergence of industrial printing techniques, and early hand-coloured charts are now hard to find. Although such charts have passed through these rooms from time to time, we have never seen a deck of playing cards depicting embroidery patterns, and we have been unable to find another either at auction or in an institution.
Lot 798

The figures have something of the air of caricature about them, with their pointed chins and noses; especially so the gentlemen who strut around and, rather comically, each carry a chapeau bras, or arm hat, the collapsible bicorne hat which was part of a Regency gentleman's evening ensemble, designed to be carried under the arm, rather than worn.
