A late 18th Century Chippendale period dwarf linen press with blind fret frieze, fitted sliding trays and enclosed by a pair of panel doors with one long and two short drawers beneath, on bracket feet, 129cm wide/Provenance: Sir Charles William Chadwick Oman KBE FBA (12 January 1860 - 23 June 1946) He was MP for the University of Oxford (1919-1935) Fellow of All Souls College Oxford and Chichely Professor of Modern History. A notable British military historian and author. His reconstructions of medieval battles from the fragmentary and distorted accounts left by chroniclers were pioneering. Occasionally his interpretations have been challenged, especially his widely copied thesis that British troops defeated their Napoleonic opponents by firepower alone. His history of the Peninsula War is still in print. Surprisingly, he was not interested in the Arts at all! Oman married Mary Mabel Maclagan who's brother, the then Earl of Harewood, married Mary, Princess Royal, only daughter of King George V and Queen Mary. His son, Charles C. Oman, wrote several volumes on British silverware and similar house ware and worked as a Keeper of the Department of Metalwork at the Victoria and Albert Museum. He was active in the Folklore Society and was the father of Julia Trevelyan Oman, who married Sir Roy Strong; Sir Roy was appointed director of the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1974. The linen press was exempted from death duties upon the death of Sir Charles William Chadwick Oman in 1935, it was deemed to be a fine example of Chippendale's work CONDITION REPORT: Overall in good condition although beading missing to left hand side, some moulding surrounds missing to fielded door panels, slightly faded drawer beading missing in places. Scratches and blemishes throughout acceptable with age, 63.5cm deep and 172cm high. The key is missing.

AN EARLY 19TH-CENTURY MONUMENTAL OAK LEAF FRAME MADE FROM VICTORY TIMBER with indistinct label on reverse stating: “…This frame is made of the timbers of the Victory…”, later annotated: “The Gift of Lady Puleston to Charles Watkin [Wynne Eyton] Albrighton Hall June 20th 1840”, overall measurements -- 24 x 31 x 3½in. (61 x 79 x 9cm.), containing a mezzotint of Nelson after John Hoppner, published 9th January 1806 and laid on canvas Provenance: Probably Colonel Sir Richard Puleston (1765-1840) of Albrighton Hall, Shropshire. His wife, Emma, Lady Puleston (1781-1849). Her gift to Charles Watkin Wynne Eyton (c.1799-1870), rector of Shocklach in Cheshire and executor to Sir Richard Puleston.Footnote: Sir Richard Puleston was an admirer and close friend of Emma, Lady Hamilton. He supported her during her confinement for debt in 1813 and assisted in her subsequent escape to France. In their highly charged correspondence, Puleston described himself to Emma 'as among millions, your bequeathed Guardian and Protector' (Flora Fraser, Beloved Emma (1986) 356). Puleston’s estate was situated near to Emma’s birthplace in Cheshire suggesting an earlier acquaintance. He may have acquired this print of Nelson―published on the day of the Admiral’s state funeral and heavily framed in Victory timber―from the sales of Emma’s possessions in 1813.Condition report: Oak frame in very good overall condition, no losses, mezzotint laid on canvas with some losses, label on reverse worn and hard to decipher in full.

A BRASS PORTHOLE RECOVERED FROM THE WRECK OF THE S.V. THOMAS W. LAWSON SUNK OFF JACKY’S ROCK, SCILLY ISLES, 1907 with 11in. hinged glazed aperture, typical brass around with rivet holes -- 16in. (40.5cm.) diam; together with certificate of provenance, contemporary postcard and print of the vessel (4)Footnote: The American schooner Thomas W. Lawson had seven masts and 43,000 square feet of canvas when all sail was set. She was rigged as a schooner in order to economise in crew, as it required only 19 men to sail her, the running gear being worked by steam winches. On the afternoon of December 13th, 1907, the vessel arrived off St. Mary’s Island, Scilly Isles, on her voyage from Philadelphia to London. The weather was rough, but the captain thought to ride out the storm at anchor between St. Mary’s and the Bishop Light-house. Shortly after dark the St. Agnes lifeboat came alongside and put Mr. Hicks, a channel pilot, on board. During the night the storm increased in violence and the Thomas W. Lawson was driven on to the Westward Rocks, where she capsized. The drowned numbered 17, including Pilot Hicks, and one of the three survivors died shortly after reaching shore.Condition report: Good overall condition
