A GEORGE III NOVELTY MAHOGANY BOX MODELLED AS A CHEST OF DRAWS, the lid lifting to reveal a collection of sea shells and geological specimens, H 33 cm

A George II Irish mahogany table, on carved lion mask and foliate carved cabriole legs and hairy paw feet 73 x 167 x 173cm (28 x 65 x 67in) Other Notes: Throughout much of the 18th century, Irish furniture was stylistically very different from English. Low relief carvings on the aprons of tables included festoons, winged birds and rosettes. Goblin heads, scallop shells and lion masks were often depicted, and on the cabriole legs of table and chairs, acanthus leaves were caved alongside the masks. Some furniture took on an almost animal nature with muscle or a fetlock being carved above the paw or claw feet; hairs and muzzles were carved in detail. The lion mask, a motif used from antiquity as an emblem of strength, courage, and majesty, was not necessarily realistic, sometimes described as Bacchic with bunches of grapes and often with "human" features, in particular the eyes, reminiscent of paintings such as the Carpaccio St Mark's Lion in Venice, or drawings by Albrecht Durer. Original country house condition, needs restoration.

EDGAR MOBBS A biographical piece on Edgar Mobbs , Northampton and England Rugby player which was presented to Northampton by the President of Blackheath Rugby Club. Nine pages telling the story of Mobbs who died a hero at Passchendaele in 1917 after leading his men on an attack on a machine gun post which was holding up the advancing British troops, allegedly he kicked a rugby ball over the top into no mans land to encourage his men to advance and was shot in the neck but still lived long enough to direct British shells onto the enemy. He played 7 times for England and also represented the Barbarians whilst his Northampton record shows that he scored 177 tries between 1905 and 1913 for the club. These pages seem to have been copied from a Roll of Honour and tell the story of an all-time Northampton hero , on and off the pitch. Generally good
