Along with a small laminated photograph of the plane, with details. Canvas measures approx; 140cm x 45cmThe de Havilland DH.85 Leopard Moth is a three-seat high-wing cabin monoplane designed and built by the de Havilland Aircraft Company in 1933. The prototype first flew on 27 May 1933 and in July won the King's Cup Race at an average speed of 139.5 mph (224.5 km/h), piloted by Geoffrey de Havilland. A total of 133 aircraft were built, including 71 for owners in the British Isles, and 10 for Australia. Other examples were exported to France, Germany, India, South Africa and Switzerland. Production of the Leopard Moth ended in 1936. 44 Leopard Moths were impressed into military service in Britain and others in Australia during World War II, mostly as communications aircraft. Only a few managed to survive six years of hard usage although a small number were still airworthy seventy years after the last was completed. Six remained operational in the U.K. in 2009.

A large 19th century majolica pottery garden seat modelled as a tree trunk (51cm high)There is crazing to the glaze as expected and there are a few minor chips and rim frits to the base (please see close-up images). Externally it looks quite good; it comes from a private source and the Vendor has owned it for many years provenance wise. Looking at it inside there are what appears to be hairline cracks, one certainly about five or six inches, emanating from the bottom; there are some internal chips and it looks like four /five inch hairline emanating from the central handle at the top. This is visible when the piece is turned upside down (please see various images to corroborate). The piece stands well and in the Auctioneer's opinion - apart from the two hairlines noted - the chips could easily be painted out because of the nature of the seat being in the form of the tree trunk with bark etc. So in the Auctioneer's opinion the damage could be masked quite easily.

An extremely rare and documented Elizabeth I oak so-called Glastonbury chair, West Country, circa 1570Of pegged construction, the raked back of three boards, typically carved with paired guilloche-filled arches but unusually centred by a defaced shield framed by well-carved floral scrolls, the scroll-shaped cresting line-carved with pairs of downward-pointing leaves, the centre again defaced, each back upright with multiple fine run-mouldings and integral pyramidal-finial, the arms with accentuated raised 'elbow-rest', the seat of two boards grooved into run-moulded side rails, and with hand-shaped 'rod-form' front and rear rails, the simple legs forming X-form side supports, joined by a hand-shaped central stretcher, 61cm wide x 56cm deep x 101cm high, (24in wide x 22in deep x 39 1/2in high)Footnotes:Provenance:The celebrated John Fardon Collection.Illustrated:Tobias Jellinek, Early British Chairs and Seats 1500 to 1700 (2009), p. 123, pl. 133. Described by the author as 'a very fine and intriguing chair. The back is well carved'.Although this chair has the appearance of a folding-chair, it cannot actually fold. Instead, constructed using removable pegs, it is designed to be taken apart, in the manner of campaign furniture. The generic name 'Glastonbury Chair' is believed to originate from a chair reputedly made for John Arthur Thorne, the last Treasurer of Glastonbury Abbey, executed in 1539, the year the Abbey was dissolved. A carved Latin inscription to the cresting rails reads 'John Arthur, Monk of Glastonbury, may God save him, Praise be to God, Lord give Peace'. The inscription would suggest that the chair was most likely made in Thorne's memory, post 1539. The chair is now in the Bishop's Palace, Wells, Somerset. It is highly likely this chair's defaced shield had a coat of arms. Furthermore, the cresting presumably had ownership initials, either side of a classic triform leaf motif (see ibid., p. 119, pl. 127). Puzzlingly, these original marks of ownership have been rather forcibly removed. At least one other 'Glastonbury' chair with a back panel finely carved with a coat of arms is recorded. The arms are attributed to Sir John Arundell III (d.1561) of Trerice, near Newquay, Cornwall, which firmly places this type of chair as being made in the 16th century. The chair is illustrated and discussed, Adam Bowett, 100 British Chairs (2015), p. 15, and dated to circa 1540 - 75. For other Glastonbury chairs see the collections of The Metropolitan Museum, New York [Museum No. 12.5], and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London [Museum No. W.232-1923]. The latter was formerly the property of the Very Rev. Dr Cowie, Dean of Exeter.
