AN EARLY 19TH CENTURY YELLOW TOPAZ AND TURQUOISE NECKLACE, CIRCA 1825Composed of graduating cushion-shaped foiled yellow topaz links, each within a frame of gold cannetille, interspersed with floral motifs and highlighted with round-shaped cabochon turquoises, gemstones in closed-back settings, mounted in gold, length 38cmNapoleonic classicism came to an end in 1820, bringing forth immense changes in style of both fashion and jewellery. A more natural style and silhouette came into vogue that year with the lowering of the waistline. Motifs of leaves and flowers which had been stylised in the Napoleonic era flourished and became more organic and representational. After a decade of European war, precious metals and stone were scarce and highly expensive. This period saw the rise in economical jewellery, employing less expensive gemstones and delicate, often elaborate, cannetille work to give an expensive and luxurious effect. The gemstones, originating mainly from Brazil of amethyst, topaz, aquamarine and chrysoberyl were mounted in clusters and closed foil settings to compliment and match in colour. The ornate gold work, formed of wire, granulation, tendrils and scrolls was complemented with small leaves and shells in different coloured gold.

Fascinating Collection of Letters from the Trenches and interesting replies from a "Friend" Some 38 letters mainly from Pte Roger Cook A Coy 5th Battalion (Western Cavalry from British Columbia) 1st Canadian Division. Well written letters to Ada, Roger's friend back in the UK. They start in 1914, though his embarkation to France is in July 1915. His letters describe the lack of sleep and lots of firing from the Germans. The continual wet weather and the mud are a constant "so much damn mud" He talks about death which doesn't seem much of a shock as men die everyday. He talks of narrow escapes with big shells bursting and bullets flying around we "Must be awfully Jolly". Rumours abound with the expectation that the war will be over by Spring 1916. He gets a well earned rest and with no excitement he volunteers for Trench mortars. As 1916 dawns he reports on daily straffing from Fritz, but shells are going over. He gets leave and spends a week in the UK, some with his friend Ada. Back to the trenches and this time snow. He reports on the guns roaring continuously "like a long string of thunder!" He mentions that he cannot send her flowers as the only ones are on soldiers graves. During early July 16 he suffers under drum fire, though he manages to pick and presumably send her a rose which was picked at a Farmstead behind the lines. He sends photos home because going into a charge he is not sure he would get out of it. He proposes marriage to Ada and wants her to come back to Canada after the war. Sadly he completely misjudges her sentiments and she politely turns down his offer-she is young and clearly marriage and leaving England are not what she wants. A few more letters are exchanged and then the correspondence ends. Some 38 letters in all, many with envelopes and censor signatures etc. contained in a perspex file with the key contents of each letter highlighted very usefully on a separate sheet. Interesting collection providing an insight into the trench experience and the suffering of the troops from all corners of the British Empire, sadly emphasising the difficulties of conducting a relationship from the battle zone with very few leaves in England.
