First World War officers Glengarry to the Cameronians ( Scottish Rifles), the Glengarry is dark blue with a dark blue tourie to the top, the headband is bound in faux silk, the tails are intact though a little tatty in places, the badge is in unmarked silver and is heavily tarnished backed by a black silk cockade/ribbon, inside there is a makers label to Wm. Anderson & Sons Ltd. Edinburgh & Glasgow, a well known military outfitters who had a premises at 14 George Street, Edinburgh,the Glengarry is unusual in that the Cameronians wore a dark ( rifle) green Glengarry with black tourie,the only explanation we can think of for this discrepancy is that late in 1914 three types of plain utility pattern Glengarries were introduced to simplify manufacture, the blue with blue tourie was one such pattern and although a green pattern was also manufactured it could have been a case of 'take what you can' due to the scale of demand by newly raised battalions at this time, the Glengarry was among the possessions of Colonel Godfrey Edward Tallents D.S.O. whose other uniform items are also in this auction, the Glengarry is well worn and the badge has been in situ for a very long time the cotter pin holding the badge in place leaving an imprint and verdigris on the liner opposite, it is unknown why Col. Tallents had this item in his possession but presumably it belonged to an army friend or aquaintance.

An Astronomer working in his studio; and An Alchemist and his assistants working in his laboratory A pair, each oil on canvas, 40 x 56 cmFootnote: Provenance: Hugo Arnot, Gemälde-Salon, Vienna, nos. 521 & 390 (old labels refer); Private collection, Bedfordshire Born in Antwerp in 1663, Gerard Thomas was renowned for his studio interior scenes. After an initial training under Godfried Maes, Thomas was elected a member of the Guild of St Luke in 1688. He spent some time studying alchemy, a subject which inspired him in the execution of some of his greatest works. Influenced by the interior scenes of Adriaen Brouwer (1605-1638) and David Teniers the Younger (1610-1690), Thomas’ works are unmistakably Northern in style and belong to a specific tradition of genre painting, depicting taverns, alchemist’s laboratories and artist studios. Thomas’ paintings, however, deviate from those of his predecessors in his fastidious arrangement and rendering of the minutiae of his scenes.Condition report: Oil on canvas which have been lined, probably at an early stage in the paintings history and retaining the original tacking edges. The canvases are in plane with good tension. The paint layers are generally stable with localised, small scale flaking the in the background passages. There is light wear and scuffs on the surface. The varnish is old and slightly matte. Both paintings have a light layer of surface dirt.
