Kutchinsky - An 18ct gold flower brooch, together with a pair of matching ear studs, the brooch designed as a chrysanthemum flower head, diameter 4.1cm, hinged double clip fitting with a roller catch, hallmarked London, probably 1969, signed 'Kutchinsky', together with a pair of matching ear studs, diameter 2.5cm, post and scroll fittings, one scroll hallmarked London, 18ct gold,1964, maker's mark 'KLd', gross weight 38.4g (2)The Kutchinsky business was established in 1893 when Hirsch Kutchinsky arrived in England, having fled Poland along with his son, Morris, and other members of the family. They brought with them many years of experience in the trade, having served as jewellers to the court of Ludwig of Bavaria. Much of the jewellery they made during the late 1940s and 1950s was purposefully ostentatious. Whimsical designs of animals and birds have become synonymous with the name Kutchinsky - the firm created a menagerie of characterful creatures over the years.
Charles Frodsham, London - A fine George V 18ct gold half hunter pocket watch, circa 1910, outer cover with blue enamel Roman numerals and inner chemin de fer chapter ring around the circular glazed aperture, signed white dial, additionally marked '09380', with black Roman numerals, blued hands and subsidiary seconds register at 6H, gilt three-quarter plate crown wind mechanical movement with diamond end stone, top plate marked CHAS FRODSHAM BY APPOINTMENT TO THE KING 115 NEW BOND STREET LATE OF 84 STRAND LONDON NO 09380, the raised going barrel engraved with foliate decoration and hand setting button at 4H, case, 48mm diameter, interior with casemaker's mark of Harrison Mill Frodsham and London hallmarks for 18ct gold, numbered 009380, the cuvette similarly marked and additionally engraved TO ROBERT SINCLAIR FROM SIR VICTOR AND LADY HORSLEY IN GRATEFUL RECOLLECTION OF HIS PROMPT AND KIND ACTION ON THE 22ND AUGUST 1911, 115.7g gross, presented with a copy of the purchase receipt, analysis sheet from Charles Frodsham and rating certificate from June-July 1914 Provenance:Purchased back by Charles Frodsham from a descendant of the Sinclair family, and subsequently sold to the present owner in 2014 Charles Frodsham was a distinguished English horologist, founding his business in the 1840s. From 1884, he traded as Charles Frodsham & Co, which remains in existence as the longest continuously trading firm of chronometer manufacturers in the world. Lot 354 & 355: A ‘fine gold watch and albert’ presented for an act of bravery. Sir Victor A.H. Horsley (1857-1916) was an accomplished scientist and professor, and the first neurosurgeon appointed to the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London. Known as 'the father of neurosurgery', he was the first surgeon in the world appointed to a hospital post as a 'brain surgeon'.In August 1911 he was on holiday with his family in Rousay - one of the largest of the Orkney Islands - off the north coast of Scotland. His son, Siward Myles Horsley, who suffered from epilepsy, went fishing in a boat just offshore, but suffered a fit and fell overboard. The local newspaper - the 'Orcadian' - of Saturday August 26th, 1911, carried the following report on the incident:'BOATING ACCIDENT AT ROUSAY - A serious boating accident occurred off Sourin, Rousay on Tuesday. From information to hand it appears that a son of Sir Victor Horsley was fishing from a small boat...when he fell into the sea. Fortunately, the accident was observed from the shore and a rescue party set off. By this time the young man had sunk, and it was only after some difficulty that he was picked up from the bottom. He was...in a serious condition...and was only restored after great difficulty’.Two months later, the 'Orcadian' carried a further report:BOATING ACCIDENT AT ROUSAY - Sir Victor Horsley has presented fine gold watches and alberts to the (two) boys who recently saved his son from drowning. The names of the boys are Alfred Hermisgarth and Robert Sinclair. The inscription on the watches is "To (name of recipient) from Sir Victor and Lady Horsley in grateful recollection of his prompt and kind action on 22nd August 1911" Crystal - Complete.

Charles de Temple - A pearl and diamond 'Wrapped' bracelet, together with a matching single earring, first, the bracelet with three rows of eight cultured pearls, each seperated by two claw set round brilliant cut diamonds, length 20cm, width 2.9cm, push-in clasp set with three pearls, hallmarked London, 18ct gold, dated 1978, maker's mark 'C de T', and signed; second, the single earring with a detachable pendant section, set with two cultured pearls and four claw set round brilliant cut diamonds, length 5cm, post and scroll fitting, hallmarked London, 18ct gold, dated 1981, gross weight 75g (2)Overall condition: GoodBracelet - One diamond is missing (near pearl clasp)Clasp opens and closes positivelyEarring - All diamonds and pearls presentScroll fitting is secure
Star Wars 1977 vintage Chantrell post-Oscar UK quad poster, folded and subsequently rolled, some creases, edges / corners have wear, with some tape residue and bottom edge has a surface tear, otherwise Good, 40" x 30". NB: The vendor states: "I got the Star Wars poster when I was a young lad after seeing the film, by asking the ticket staff at the Leeds Odeon (the one on The Headrow) if I could have one. They said they'd save me one and to come back when they stopped showing the film in a week's time, so I did. Following a brief time on my bedroom wall, it was rolled up and stored in my sister's dry garage, until they moved house two years ago and said, "Here's your old poster back."!"

Registration No: KXS 326 Chassis No: 376820 MOT: ExemptUnderstood to have been used by the Italian Army, and painted in those colours to suitSupplied with very rare metal half doors and complete hood and sidescreen setKept in fine mechanical fettle by the vendor PLEASE NOTE: The quoted chassis number indicates that this lot is a 1944 Willys MB Jeep and not a 1944 Ford GPW Jeep as catalogued and UK road registered. Given the interchangeability of the two designs it is not unusual to find a Willys registered as a Ford and vice versaArguably more iconic than a Sherman Tank or P-51 Mustang, the Jeep is for many the definitive WW2 vehicle; a workhorse of the US and Allied forces during WW2 and kept in service all around the world for decades afterwards. Born out of the American Quartermaster Corps' 1940 invitation to submit a prototype go-anywhere four-wheel drive light reconnaissance vehicle which led to a three-way competition between Bantam, Willys-Overland, and Ford, the winning design's simple but effective chassis, ingenious transmission, rugged suspension, and flathead Go-Devil 60hp 2.2-litre 'four' proved invaluable for hauling troops out of trouble. About 650,000 MB types were built between 1941 and 1945, by Willys and (in greater numbers) by Ford. Finding a Jeep still retaining all its original components is rare because, after WW2, many Jeeps were rebuilt on a ‘mix and match' basis, meaning it is common to find components from all three makers combined in one vehicle.According to the dating certificate presented within the history file, chassis 376820 is a war-time Ford built GPW Jeep that was completed in October 1944. Little is known of the early history of the vehicle, however, it is understood to have originally been supplied with very rare removable metal half doors that it retains to this day. Previously registered in Italy, it is understood to have seen service in the Italian Army post war and is painted in the iconic light green colour to suit. The current keeper bought the vehicle in a non running state in 2019 from a gentleman who had been the long term owner since 1989 and imported it to the UK, where it was registered with the DVLA on the registration number 'KXS 326'. and there are invoices on file for parts including a new carburettor and fuel pump and it is described by the vendor as being in 'very solid' condition having believed to have been in the dry climate of Italy since the end of WW2, although the paintwork is aged. The vehicle is now described as being in 'fine mechanical condition' and has been used a number of times for summer trips to the pub with the keepers' grandchildren, although should a prospective new owner get caught in rain, there is a hood and full sidescreens supplied.Offered at No Reserve for our Buxton sale, this presents a perfect opportunity for any enthusiast to either restore to US Army specification or to have fun with as is at the upcoming summer shows.

Registration No: PUI 3831 Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DB170271 MOT: July 2024Current ownership for c.8 yearsFitted with TWR style bumpers and rear spoilerFinished in light Blue complemented to a Cream leather interiorLaunched in 1975, Jaguar's XJS was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. More of a soporific grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, it was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads. To this end, it was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Although, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post-1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long-awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as its Fixed Head Coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.First registered on the 23rd May 1990, finished in light Blue complemented to a Cream leather interior with a Blue hood, this XJ-S has resided in current ownership for some 8 years. This Convertible example of the XJ-S marque is fitted with the period TWR-style bumpers and rear spoiler, evoking the motorsport heritage of the XJ-S. It is being offered with an MOT certificate into July 2024 and current V5C is present. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760
Registration No: G917 MUS Chassis No: WBAEC820308188374 MOT: NoneOffered with owner's wallet and stamped service bookRecently returned to the UK after residing in Spain for over 20 years134,400 recorded miles and just 3 former keepers recorded on HPI2 keysSuccessor to the race-proven (E9) 3.0 CS/CSi high-performance Sports Coupes, the 6-series was introduced in August 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilised a modified version of the (E12) 5-series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension and powerful disc brakes. A natural rival to the 928 and XJS, the four-seater 6-series proved more capacious than the Porsche and sportier than the Jaguar. Immediately recognisable thanks to its distinctive 'shark nose' frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse it boasts real road presence. In 1988, BMW introduced the Motorsport and Highline models as part of the E24 range, which further improved its overall performance. These specific models came equipped with a 3.5-litre (actually 3430cc), 220bhp six-cylinder engine (M30B35 code) and a luxurious leather interior. By the end of production in 1989, only 86,000 E24 models had been built. The E24 remains one of the most sought-after coupes from BMW.Supplied new by Harry Fairburn BMW Ltd., Glasgow, in August 1989 and recently returned to the UK after residing in Spain for over 20 years, here we have a 1989 example of the E24 635 CSi, believed to have been one of the last to be built and therefore one of the sought-after post-1988 Highline versions of the E24.Whilst the owner resided in Europe, the 635 CSi was placed on Spanish ‘H’ (‘Historic Vehicle’ plates), and to qualify, the vendor tells us ‘everything on the car has to be as per original as possible. For example, I had a stainless steel exhaust, perfectly sound, but had to replace with a stamped manufactured exhaust’. Utilising a second 635 CSi to act as a spare parts donor for wings etc.‘G917 MUS’ has previously been extensively stripped down, the wings replaced and given a bare metal respray. The car has original specification Michelin tyres, two being sourced from Belgium at a cost of £400. The vendor goes on, ‘the car was photographed from every angle and inspected by the Classic Car registration department in Spain, before they would give their approval for ‘H’ plate’.The current mileage displayed is c.134,400 miles and just 3 former keepers recorded on HPI. It is being offered with the owner's wallet, the service book with some 20 entries, copies of various Spanish shipping and Historic Vehicle documents, 2 keys and the original Harry Fairburn key fob and a current V5C document.

FOTIS KONTOGLOU (1895-1965)Sans titre signé en grec en bas au centrehuile sur bois 32,3 x 26,5 cm. (12 11/16 x 10 7/16in.)signed in Greek low centreoil on woodFootnotes:Combining Byzantine and Post-Byzantine iconographical and pictorial conventions with a deeply-felt religious sentiment and a pronounced sense of the spiritual, Kontoglou sought to breathe new life to 20th century Greek art by re-baptizing it in the invigorating waters of folk tradition and Orthodox faith. His passionate campaign had a decisive influence on Greek artists and especially on the exponents of the legendary 1930s generation. Here, the flat rendering of space, absence of chiaroscuro, otherworldly light, earthy colour, and schematisation of form build up a balanced composition of inner rhythm, while the disciplined design and delicate modelling evoke a mood of austerity and penitence, lending the protagonists a restrained and dignified appearance. This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
