The silks worn by Lester Piggott when winning the 1954 Derby at Epsom on Never Say Die, the colours of owner Mr Robert Sterling Clark, cerise & grey stripes with blue sash, quartered cap, jacket buttons inscribed Le Reussi, Paris, colour run after later washing; sold with a signed letter of provenance from the current seller (2) Never Say Die won the race at odds of 33/1, ridden by the 18 year old Lester Piggott, the youngest jockey ever to win the race. Never Say Die also won the Rossly Stakes at Ascot in 1953 and the St Leger Stakes at Doncaster in 1954. When retired the American owner Mr Robert Sterling Clark gifted the horse to the National Stud. His most famous son was Larkspur who emulated his sire by winning the Derby in 1962. Never Say Die was also sire to the 1,000 Guineas and Oaks winning filly Never Too Late. Robert Sterling Clark (1877-1956), an heir to the Singer Sewing Machine fortune, was an American horse breeder, art collector and philanthropist. Provenance: John ''Johnny'' Alfred William Goodgame (1915-1996), National Hunt jockey and trainer. The silks are offered with a signed letter of provenance from the current vendor who is the son of the National Hunt jockey and trainer Johnny Goodgame. Goodgame served his apprenticeship at Newmarket and the best horse he ever rode was Robin O'Chantry who was placed in a Champion Hurdle. He was acquainted with the Piggott family, Lester's father Keith being a licenced National Hunt trainer at the same time. A Statement in the letter reads: "The colours have been in the family as long as I can remember and my father told us that the silks were worn by Lester Piggott when he won his first Derby in 1954 and that they were an important piece of racing history and should be kept safely. Apart from the fact my father was a professional in the horse racing industry, and would have had many connections, the exact circumstances of how he acquired the Derby silks in unknown to me. When my father died in 1996 my mother washed the silks and unfortunately as a result the colours ran. My mother died in 1999 and the silks became my property."

A large wood figure of 'Water-Moon' GuanyinProbably Qing DynastyThe deity finely carved with a gentle, contemplative expression, the hair worn in a topknot with knotted tresses falling over the shoulders, seated in rajalalitasana with right arm resting on the raised right knee, the left hand resting on the level surface to support the weight, wearing a sash tied across the left shoulder and a long dhoti secured by a sash around the waist, adorned with floral earrings, elaborate necklace, and beaded armbands. 82cm (32 2/8in) high.Footnotes:或清 木雕水月觀音像The result of a radiocarbon dating measurement test, RCD Lockinge Radiocarbon Dating Measurement Report, sample no.RCD-8178, states 95.4% probability for 1664-1953, of which 77.3% probability is for 1664-1884.據英國RCD Lockinge實驗室放射性碳定年測量報告，樣本編號RCD-8178之檢測結果表明，本拍品有95.4%之可能性制於1664年至1953年間，其中77.3%之可能性制於1664年至1884年間。Seated in the pose of 'royal ease', the deity probably depicts the Water-Moon Guanyin, an iconography derived from Tang dynasty paintings.According to the 'Lotus Sutra', Guanyin can take any form necessary to save sentient beings, and mentions thirty-three manifestations which the deity could take, of which seven were female. The figure's sensual curves however, evoke a distinctly feminine feel, and by the Ming dynasty, Guanyin was usually depicted in a feminine form.Guanyin images seated in the relaxed position of royal ease are referred to as Zizai Guanyin, literally meaning 'Guanyin at ease'. When such figures were placed in a grotto or seated on rocky platforms, they reference the Water Moon Guanyin, who sits by the water's edge contemplating the reflection of the moon in the water and recognising the illusory nature of all phenomena, gently smiles at humans who grasp for the reflection of the moon mistaking it for reality.For a wood figure of Guanyin, Tang dynasty, whose iconography may have served as prototype for the present lot, see H.Trubner, The Arts of the T'ang Dynasty, Los Angeles, 1957, no.57; see also R.L.Thorp and V.Bower, Spirit and Ritual: The Morse Collection of Ancient Chinese Art, New York, 1982, no.59.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: †† VAT at the prevailing rate on Hammer Price and Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A fine Victorian parcel-gilt satinwood centre table, attributed to Holland & Sons, circa 1860, with figured circular tilt-top on a baluster stem and tripod base carved with foliage, 74cm high, 142cm diameter Provenance: The Dukes of Leeds, Hornby Castle, YorkshirePossibly acquired by Sir George Godolphin Osborne, 8th Duke of Leeds (1802-72), for the principal family seat, Hornby Castle, North YorkshireThis table can be ascribed to Holland & Sons, one of the largest and most prestigious cabinet-making firms in the 19th century, based on a number of stylistic attributes; the superb choice of timbers, the figuring of the satinwood tilt-top, the fine foliate giltwood carving and the distinctive giltwood borders. Holland & Sons were known for their diversity of style - in the mid-1860s, supplying furniture in the fashionable 'Louis XVI-style', such as the table offered here, but also making 'Elizabethan' furniture, neo-Gothic and furniture inspired by Robert Adam, Sheraton and Chippendale (S. Jervis, 'Holland & Sons, and the furnishing of the Athenaeum', Furniture History, 1970, p. 46). First established in 1815 as Taprell & Holland at 25 Great Pulteney Street, London, the firm was renamed Holland & Sons in 1843 when William Holland, a founding member, and probably related to George IV's architect-designer, Henry Holland, took over the firm. In the 1850s, William was replaced by his son, James Holland, and the firm moved to 19 Marylebone Street and Ranelagh Works, Lower Belgrave Street, and from 1852, 23 Mount Street. They exhibited at all the major international exhibitions, including London 1851, Paris 1855, London 1862 and Paris 1867; for example, at the 1862 London International Exhibition, they exhibited a fine marquetry and gilt-bronze centre table veneered with tulipwood, kingwood, New Zealand spicewood, boxwood and purple heart to a design by a 'Mr. Rosenberg' that included engravings by Old Masters, all centred by a spider's web in silver and ivory (J. Meyer, Great Exhibitions: London, Paris, New York, Philadelphia 1851-1900, Woodbridge, 2006, p. 122). The firm worked on the interiors of several of the London gentlemen's clubs, the Army & Navy, the Athenaeum, the Carlton and the Reform. They undertook Royal commissions at Buckingham Palace, Osborne House and Windsor Castle, and were a major contractor for H.M. Works until circa 1852, including the Palace of Westminster. Other significant contracts were for the Great Western Railway and the Royal Academy of Arts. The firm employed many well-known, independent designers, Sir Charles Barry, Gottfried Semper and J.K. Collins. The Holland & Sons ledgers comprising 235 volumes dating from 1824 to 1942 and covering most of their major commissions are held in the Archive of Art & Design at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London.Hornby CastleThis table was possibly acquired by Sir George Godolphin Osborne, 8th Duke of Leeds (1802-72), for the principal family seat, Hornby Castle, North Yorkshire. Built in the 15th century as a fortified house, it was significantly remodeled by the architect John Carr of York, and probably James 'Athenian' Stuart, in the 1760s, for Robert Darcy, 4th Earl of Holdernesse. The mansion was altered to Classical proportions and regular, enlarged sash windows were installed combined with gothic architectural detailing. When the 4th Earl's only daughter, Amelia Darcy, married Francis Godolphin Osborne, Marquess of Carmarthan, and later 5th Duke of Leeds, a new family arrived at Hornby by inheritance, and the house became a ducal seat. Due to a series of important family relationships, Hornby Castle became a repository for a magnificent collection of Restoration furniture that embodied their glorious political past. The halcyon days of Hornby Castle were undoubtedly in this period but also in the early to mid-19th century when the 7th Duke of Leeds commissioned A.W.N. Pugin to prepare a set of drawings for the remodeling of Hornby Castle. Although never executed, Pugin submitted detailed plans on a grand scale for two floor of the castle courtyard, and perspective sketches for the rest.Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Some old splits and chips. Gilt elements have been refreshed in areas. Gilding with some rubbing and small losses. Some evidence of old worm to undersides of legs.
