The G.C.V.O. insignia awarded to Lord James of Hereford, P.C., Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster The Royal Victorian Order, G.C.V.O., Knight Grand Cross, set of insignia comprising sash badge, silver-gilt and enamels, and breast star, silver, silver-gilt and enamels, both pieces officially numbered ‘19’, the reverse of the badge additionally engraved ‘Lord James of Hereford, P.C., Chancellor Duchy of Lancaster, 22 August 1902, complete with full dress sash, this stained in parts, otherwise extremely fine (2) £1,400-£1,800 --- Provenance: Buckland Dix & Wood, June 1991. Henry James, first Lord James of Hereford 1828-1911, lawyer and statesman, was born at Hereford on 30 October 1828, third and youngest son of Philip Turner James, surgeon, of Hereford. He was educated at Cheltenham College, which was opened in 1841, and was the first boy on the roll. In after years he was president of the council of governors of the school, and founded the James of Hereford entrance scholarships, primarily for Herefordshire boys. At school he played in the cricket elevens of 1844 and 1845, and never lost his interest in the game, playing occasionally for the old boys, and becoming president of the M.C.C. in 1889. He gained no special distinction in school studies, and on leaving began training as an engineer, but soon joined the Middle Temple as a student in January 1849. He was lecturer's prizeman in 1850 and 1851, and was one of the earliest and foremost members of the Hardwicke Debating Society, where he developed a power of lucid speaking. Called to the bar in 1852, he joined the Oxford circuit. His rise at the bar was not rapid; he practised at first mainly in the mayor's court, of which he became leader. Comparatively early in his career he became known to Sir John Hollams and through him obtained much commercial work at the Guildhall. In 1867, after fifteen years at the bar, he was appointed postman of the Court of Exchequer, an office now extinct, and became a Q.C. in 1869. The following year he was elected bencher of his Inn, and in 1888 served as treasurer. In 1869 James entered the House of Commons as liberal member for Taunton. There he came to the front more quickly than at the bar and was soon a prominent figure on the ministerial side below the gangway, occasionally criticising his leaders with effect. As a parliamentary speaker he was rarely brief, but he held the ear of the house. In 1870 he joined Sir Henry Drummond Wolff in an expedition to the seat of the Franco-Prussian war, and came under the fire of French artillery at Strassbourg. In Sept. 1873 he became solicitor-general in Gladstone's government and was knighted. Two months later, when the attorney-general became lord chief justice, James succeeded him. Parliament was dissolved immediately afterwards, and James was re-elected for Taunton, but the defeat of his party deprived him of office. While in opposition, he was active in debate, and when Gladstone returned to office after the general election of 1880, James, who retained his seat for Taunton, again became attorney-general and held the post until the liberal government went out in 1885. James performed both his political and professional work with unsparing energy. In parliament his chief exploit was the drafting and carrying through its various stages the corrupt practices bill of 1883. He had already championed the cause of electoral purity, and his skill and temper in the conduct of his bill evoked Gladstone''s admiration. On 24 June 1885, he was made a privy councillor. At the general election of 1885, after the new reform bill had become law, he was returned as member for Bury in Lancashire, and he represented that constituency for the rest of his time in the House of Commons. When Gladstone declared for home rule early in 1886, James declared unhesitatingly against the change of Irish policy. Gladstone offered him first the lord chancellorship and then the home secretaryship in his new ministry, but James, with rare self-denial, declined both. He was already a warm intimate friend of Lord Hartington (afterwards duke of Devonshire), and with him he thenceforward acted in close personal sympathy, becoming a leader of the newly formed liberal-unionist party. Returned for Bury at the elections of 1886 and 1892, James, now a private member of parliament, continued his private practice at the bar. From 1892 to 1895 he acted as attorney-general of the Duchy of Cornwall to King Edward VII, then Prince of Wales, with whom he had formed a close intimacy. In 1892 he was made hon. LL.D. of Cambridge. On 22 April 1893, James spoke at great length against Gladstone's home rule bill, and in February 1895 he, on behalf of the Lancashire cotton spinners, led the opposition to the liberal government's proposal to reimpose duties on cotton imported into India. On the return of the unionists to power in August 1895, James was raised to the peerage as Lord James of Hereford, and for the first time became a cabinet minister holding the office of chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in the unionist administration. In 1896 he joined the judicial committee of the privy council, and took part in the judicial work of that body as well as of the House of Lords. He resigned his position on the judicial committee before his death. As arbitrator in industrial disputes, and notably as chairman of the coal conciliation board from 1898 to 1909, he gave a series of important decisions, which were accepted by all parties without demur. Between 1895 and 1902 he sat, too, on a committee of the privy council appointed to deal with university education in the north of England. James resigned office in July 1902, when Mr. Balfour succeeded Lord Salisbury as prime minister. In the same year he was made G.C.V.O. The following year, when Mr. Chamberlain formulated his policy of tariff reform, James declared his resolute adherence to the principle of free trade. As in the home rule crisis, he acted with the duke of Devonshire, and stiffened the latter in his opposition to the new policy. In November 1909 he opposed, as unconstitutional, the rejection of the budget by the House of Lords. During his later years he took much interest in the Imperial Institute, and was for a long time chairman of the advisory committee. A good sportsman, especially with the gun, he maintained through life a large circle of friends. King Edward VII was constantly a guest at his shooting parties. He was an intimate friend of Millais; he knew Dickens, Charles Reade, Tom Taylor, and other men eminent in literature or art, although he had few intellectual interests outside his profession. He was munificent in private charity. He died on 18 August 1911, at Kingswood Warren, near Epsom. Previously he had made his country home at Breamore, near Salisbury, and there he was buried in the parish churchyard. He was unmarried, and the peerage became extinct at his death. A portrait by Mr. J. St. H. Lander is in the Benchers'' Rooms at the Middle Temple, and there are other portraits at the Devonshire Club and at Cheltenham College, where a fund in his memory for the endowment of Cheltenham College was inaugurated in July 1912.

G.C.V.O., 3 June 1919, for services as Deputy Earl Marshal of England. Edmund Bernard Talbot (né FitzAlan-Howard), later 1st Viscount FitzAlan of Derwent, K.G., G.C.V.O., D.S.O., was born on 1 June 1855, the second son of the 14th Duke of Norfolk, and educated at the Oratory School, Edgbaston, prior to being commissioned into the 11th Hussars in 1875. Named as the principal beneficiary in the will of Bertram Arthur Talbot, 17th Earl of Shrewsbury provided he took the surname and arms of ‘Talbot’, he duly did so by royal licence in 1876. However, the late earl's distant relatives contested the will, and the peerage and concomitant property were awarded after much litigation to Henry Chetwynd-Talbot, 3rd Earl Talbot, leaving Lord Edmund Talbot with only scattered minor lands. Acting as Adjutant of the 11th Hussars from 1881-83, Lord Edmund Talbot served in a similar capacity in the Auxiliary Forces from 1883-88, and was promoted to Major in 1891. In 1894 he was elected MP for Chichester and remained in Parliament until 1921. When war broke out in South Africa he was involved in operations leading to the relief of Kimberley and at Paardeberg, in addition to the actions at Poplar Grove, Driefontein, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Diamond Hill, and Colesburg. He was awarded the D.S.O. (London Gazette 19 April 1901) and mentioned in Despatches. On 17 June 1900, he was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel although he did not command the 11th Hussars. Returning to politics he held various appointment, as: Private Secretary to the Secretary of State for War and India, and between 1905-06 he was Junior Lord of the Treasury and Whip. Also between 1915-21 he was Joint Parliamentary Secretary at the Treasury. He was appointed Deputy Earl Marshal of England in 1917 as his nephew, the 16th Duke of Norfolk, was too young. In 1921 he was Lord Lieutenant and the last Viceroy of Ireland, the first Roman Catholic to hold the post since 1685, but the position only lasted until 1922 when the Irish Free State came into being. In his capacity as Viceroy of Ireland he was appointed as the very last Honorary Grand Master of the Order of Saint Patrick, which Order became obsolete in 1922. In 1925 he was honoured with the appointment of Knight of the Garter. He reverted to his name of FitzAlan in 1921 and was raised to the peerage as the Right Hon. The Viscount FitzAlan of Derwent in the County of Derby. On 5 August 1879, he was married to Lady Mary Bertie, daughter of the Earl of Abingdon. They had two children, a daughter and a son, and lived at Cumberland Lodge in Windsor Great Park. Viscount FitzAlan died on 18 May 1947.

A SANDSTONE TORSO OF A FOUR-ARMED DEITY, ANGKOR PERIODKhmer Empire, 12th-13th century. Very finely carved with a graceful outline and gently fluted legs, wearing a short sampot incised with parallel pleats and a butterfly tie at the back, and secured with a sash incised with geometric designs and hanging in a double anchor fold at the front.Provenance: LP Collection, Paris.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age, extensive wear, losses, signs of erosion, nicks, scratches.Weight: 20.0 kg (total)Dimensions: Height 45 cm (excl. base)Mounted on a modern metal base. (2)Expert’s note: Many four-armed male figures from the Angkor Wat period depict the Hindu god Vishnu. Towards the end of the twelfth century, however, images of Lokeshvara and other Buddhist deities began to proliferate in almost stylistically indistinguishable fashion, as King Jayavarman VII (reigned 1181-1218) adopted Mahayana Buddhism as the official state religion, replacing the cult of Vishnu which had predominated the Khmer empire for previous centuries. The identity of this deity hence is almost impossible to discern without its iconographic features which would normally appear on the chignon, or as objects held by one of the missing hands.Literature comparison: The treatment of the sampot with folded-over top is executed with great clarity. In a slightly later example at the Musee Guimet, style of Khleang, additional pleats spring from the fastening at the back of the sampot, anticipating the Baphuon style - see H. Jessup and T. Zephir (editors), Sculpture of Angkor and Ancient Cambodia, Millennium of Glory, 1997, cat. no. 57, p. 239.Auction result comparison: Compare with a closely related torso of slightly larger size (57.5 cm high) at Bonhams Sydney in Asian Art on 4 November 2020, lot 82, sold for AUD 28,060.
