A KATANA SIGNED MASAMUNE, EARLY 19TH CENTURYsugata (configuration): shinogi-zukuri (longitudinal ridgeline) with shallow koshi-zori (~waist~ curve, near the nakago); hamon (tempering pattern): deep notare midareba (undulating with wilder accents) which extends as far as the shinogi with fine nie and nioi crystals ; Nakago (tang): ubu (unaltered) with a single mekugi-ana (peg hole), signed on the omote (front side) Masamune; in a black lacquered saya with red lacquer inscription Masamune; 67 cm; 26 3/8 in blade; ; Provenance; Sir Frank Bowden, Bt.; ; Gorô Nyûdô Masamune (c.1264-1343) is generally regarded as the greatest swordsmith in the history of the Japanese sword. He worked in the style of the Sôshû school which flourished in Sagami Province where the Kamakura Bakufu (feudal military government from 1185-1333) had their headquarters. His blades were strong and beautiful and could cut extremely efficiently. He devised ways of improving forging techniques and the jihada (surface grain of the steel blade) of his weapons reflects the complicated combination of different steels used in their production. ; ; Around 1800 Japan experienced a revival of nationalistic spirit resulting in the production of excellent swords which attempted to recreate blades in the style of Kamakura and Nambokuchô period swords. These copies, or utsushi (an emulation of a masterpiece) were, for the most part, taken from early blades which had been cut down and remounted. Swords made from around this time are known as ShinShintô - literally ~new, new swords~ - or ~new revival swords~. ; ; This elegant blade shows many of the characteristics found on original blades by Masamune.

A fine Great War ‘1917’ FE2d and DH4 Ace’s M.C. group of three awarded to Major H. R. Harker, Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force - a skilled Flight Commander with 57 Squadron, who extricated his bomber formation from a dog fight with a vastly superior numbered German force led by Lothar Von Richthofen, 30 April 1917. A veteran of such skirmishes during ‘Bloody April’, Harker went on to claim at least 5 Victories before tragically succumbing to the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1919 Military Cross, G.V.R., reverse engraved ‘1917 Awarded To 2nd Lieut. (Temp. Capt.) H. R. Harker. R.F.C. “Consistently Set A Splendid Example To His Brother Officers” Died 27.2.1919 Major In R.A.F.’; British War and Victory Medals, with M.I.D. oak leaves, mounted upside down (Capt. H. R. Harker. R.F.C.) mounted for display, good very fine (3) £3,000-£4,000 --- M.C. London Gazette 9 January 1918: ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. For nearly a year he has carried out extremely valuable work in taking aeroplane photographs and leading bombing raids far behind the enemy lines, often in the face of great opposition and trying weather conditions. On a recent occasion while returning from a successful bombing raid his formation was attacked by more than twice its number but by his fine offensive spirit and skilful leadership the enemy were dispersed. He has consistently set a splendid example to his brother officers.’ M.I.D. London Gazette 27 May 1919. Howard Redmayne Harker was born in May 1891, and was the son of Mr and Mrs J. D. Harker of Prestwich, Manchester. He was educated at Laurence House School, St. Annes-on-Sea, Rossall School and Manchester University. Harker had been a member of the university O.T.C., and upon leaving in 1913 was employed in the Experimental Department of the Royal Air Craft Factory. Eventually, despite deferment because of important war work, he successfully obtained a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Flying Corps in April 1916. Harker gained his Royal Aero Club Certificate (No. 2945) in May 1916, and having completed his flying training advanced to Flying Officer the following month. He was posted for operational flying with the newly formed 57 Squadron (FE2d’s) to France, 16 December 1916. The Squadron were employed on fighter reconnaissance duties, and Harker achieved their first victory when flying with Second Lieutenant V. D. Fernauld (an American) as his observer, 24 March 1917. The Combat Report gives the following: ‘FE2d A/1954, armed with 2 Lewis guns, Pilot 2/Lt. H. R. Harker, Observer 2/Lt. V. D. Fernauld engaged a hostile aircraft at 1145, east of Lens, at 9,000ft. The H.A. was a signle seat tractor biplane with one or two fixed guns. The H.A. was engaged from above on his right side with the sun behind the FE2d. A burst of about 20 rounds was fired, from almost directly above the H.A. at a range of less than 50 yards, by the Oobserver. The tracer bullets were seen entering the engine and fuselage, and H.A. went down practically vertically, twisting about....’ The superiority of the German aircraft was to come to the fore the following month, known as ‘Bloody April’, when the Squadron lost a number of pilots in combat. Harker wrote home, 7 April 1917: ‘We are having quite a busy time of late for reasons which you will gather by the time you get this letter and see its date. We are engaged in the somewhat arduous and occasionally mildly exciting task of gaining what the politicians love to call ‘The supremacy of the air.’ I have for the third time been appointed acting Flight Commander and may possibly remain so this time. The man who relieved me of my temporary command the last time went over the line yesterday morning and the unkind Huns promptly shot him down and he landed within 50 yards of our outposts in front of the Hindenburg line. He is now in ‘Blighty’ I expect. He was luckier than the other four machines, which did not return all... This particular patrol were asked to do a well nigh impossible task which we have not been required to repeat so you need not think I am likely to follow them... It is somewhat parky in the upper atmosphere just now and many of us are suffering from mild frostbite...’ A ‘scrap’ with Lothar Von Richthofen Harker led a bombing formation, 30 April 1917, which had a brush with Lothar von Richthofen: ‘Forty minutes after his destruction of the 16 Squadron BE, Lothar Von Richthofen and his command, together with elements of Jasta 12, spotted a formation of FEs in the morning light. The FEs, led by Captain H. R. Harker (A6401), were from 57 Squadron. Earlier at 06.50 the British had spotted German fighters over Lécluse but, outnumbered as they were, had decided that discretion was the better part of valour and withdrew. At 07.00 over Vitry, they were approached by yet another formation of enemy scouts, six above them and three others at their own altitude. In the initial attack, two of the FE’s fell, one to Lothar, the other to the leader of Jasta 12, Adolf von Tutschek.... Another of the FE’s (A1966) was picked off by the three enemy scouts operating at the lower level.... An enemy machine was also hit, going down two miles SW of Douai. Yet another of the German planes went down under the fire of the FE’s, landing near to Vitry at 07.15. The German losses were soon more than made good by the arrival of reinforcements.... Still the Germans continued not to commit themselves to an all-out attack, a situation which allowed Harker and three other FE’s to edge their way slowly back to the British lines.’ (Under the Guns of the German Aces, by N. Franks and H. Giblin refers). It is highly likely that the above action is one the one referred to in the recipient’s M.C. citation. Harker advanced to Acting Captain and Flight Commander after ‘Bloody April’. The Squadron re-equipped with DH4’s in May 1917, and was tasked with long range bomber reconnaissance. It moved to Boisdinghem the following month, and joined the 27th Wing as part of V Brigade. The latter was employed in support of the British Army during the Ypres Offensive, and this new role seems to have suited Harker as he added at least another 4 enemy aircraft to his score between 18 June - 21 August 1917 (some sources credit him with 7 enemy aircraft shot down). Having completed his tour with 57 Squadron, Harker returned to the UK at the end of August 1917. Subsequent appointments included as Acting Squadron Commander of 3 I.T.S., and also instructing at No. 2 School of Navigation and Bomb Dropping, R.A.F. Andover. He advanced to Acting Major in October 1918, and tragically succumbed to the then raging Spanish Flu pandemic, dying at the Officer’s Military Hospital at Tidworth, 27 February 1919. Major Harker was mentioned in despatches for his work at Andover, and this was posthumously gazetted. He is buried in the Southern Cemetery, Manchester. Sold with a large amount of copied research, including photographic images.
The remarkable and rare Second War 1942 ‘escape and evasion’ M.M., and 1944 ‘North West Europe’ Second Award Bar group of seven awarded to Sergeant J. D. Coutts, No. 52 Commando and York and Lancaster Regiment. Coutts, fighting as part of ‘D’ Battalion, ‘Layforce’, was taken prisoner of war at the fall of Crete, 1 June 1941. Having been transported to mainland Greece, he effected his escape from a German POW camp via a sewer - twice getting stuck along the narrow route during the process. Evading capture with two other escapees, Coutts lost both of his comrades to malaria and exhaustion. Despite this, and by sheer bloody determination he carried on and made four attempts via boat to leave Greece for Turkey. Meeting up with other escapees along the way, including Lieutenant W. B. Thomas who went on to publish his memoirs about the eventual escape, Coutts finally made it in May 1942. He had numerous brushes with German patrols, a seaplane, and an E-boat just as Turkey loomed into sight. The war was not done with him, however, and he went on to distinguish himself with the Hallamshire Battalion in Normandy, June - July 1944. In particular during the attack on the fortified position at Barbee Farm, near Vendes, 16 July 1944, when he was in action with both a Bren Gun and a Mortar, personally accounting for a large number of enemy troops despite being wounded himself Military Medal, G.VI.R., with Second Award Bar (4746052 Cpl. J. D. Coutts. Y. & L. R.); General Service 1918-62, 1 clasp, Palestine (4746052 Pte. J. D. Coutts. Y. & L. R.); 1939-45 Star; Africa Star; France and Germany Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, mounted for wear, generally very fine or better (7) £8,000-£12,000 --- M.M. London Gazette 24 September 1942. The original recommendation states: ‘Corporal Coutts was captured at Sphakia on 1 June 1941, moved to Maleme and thence to Salonika. There were escapes nearly every day. The morning after a successful escape would be spent by the remainder on parade in the sun. Those caught escaping would not be seen again. One night the Germans decided to prevent any escapes by crowding prisoners into the centre of the camp. This suited the plans that Corporal Coutts and others had made that afternoon. They had noticed the opening of a sewer in the centre of the camp and had seen that it was wide enough for a man to crawl through. A Greek workman promised to take off the lid of another opening several hundred yards from the camp as soon as it was dark. They blocked the pipe from the latrines to the sewer and turned on all the taps there and in the wash-house and left them on all afternoon. The fact that all the prisoners of war had been pushed by the sentries to the centre of the camp provided an excuse for their presence by the sewer opening, and Coutts and seven others climbed down and crawled along. It took them two hours. Corporal Coutts is broadly built and twice stuck in particularly narrow spots. The artificial washing down they had given it made a considerable difference to the conditions, but even so two of them passed out as soon as they reached the opening and fresh air. They waited till they came round and then split up into parties of two and three. Corporal Coutts joined Corporal Ward and Trooper Nicholas. They knocked at the door of a house and were taken in. From there they gradually made their way down to Agion Oros peninsula, going north first to Langadas and then down through Evangelismos and Zagliveri receiving food and shelter wherever they stopped. Trooper Nicholas got malaria badly and through weakness and lack of medical attention died on 7 October 1941. Corporals Coutts and Ward stole a boat near Smerna and made for Imbros. Ten miles away bad weather forced them to go back. The effort was too much for Ward who died on 10 November 1941. Corporal Coutts spent most of the winter in a hut he built on the hills. With spring his strength began to return and he joined up with Lieutenant Thomas and Corporal Peacock in April. On 5 April they got a boat at Klephttikon and sailed for Imbros. Bad weather forced them to go back. On 16 April they tried again from Nea Skete, but had to return as round the point a strong light was flashed on them and they heard voices. They were joined by 2 Cypriots and a Greek officer on 2 May 1942 and on the same day Private Theodoros Georgiou, No. 4230, 232 Company, R.A.S.C., who has been recommended for a D.C.M., reached them. On 4 May 1942 they left with him and arrived at Turkey on 6 May 1942. Corporal Coutts not only did an excellent escape, but in spite of the death of his two companions - which must have been hard blows to bear - his frustrated attempt to reach Turkey and his own personal weakness, he struggled on in Greece alone. Finally with L/Cpl. Peacock and Lt. Thomas he made two more attempts to reach Turkey and only just failed owing to bad weather. He escaped thanks to sheer dogged courage.’ M.M. Second Award Bar London Gazette 21 December 1944. The original recommendation (for a D.C.M.) states: ‘On 16 July 1944 Sergeant Coutts was commanding a platoon of a company ordered to reinforce Barbee Farm. His platoon HQ was twice attacked with grenades, and on both occasions he beat off the attack with his own grenades. Almost immediately afterwards he killed four of the enemy with a Bren Gun as they attempted to infiltrate into his platoon positions. Later, during the action when the members of his posts were killed or wounded and the post was occupied by the enemy, who were able to infiltrate another platoon position, he personally dealt with them with a 2 inch mortar. During the day the position was under direct fire from enemy riflemen and LMGs, and was frequently mortared. Quite regardless of his own personal safety Sergeant Coutts moved to and fro in platoon position, organising its defence and the evacuation of wounded, and encouraging his men. When the company was ordered to evacuate Barbee Farm Sjt. Coutts platoon was given the task of protecting the left flank. The Bren group detailed by him to cover his own flank was under fire from three directions. He remained with this gun and was wounded. He refused to leave his position until his platoon was clear from Barbee Farm. Throughout the day Sergenat Coutts displayed complete disregard for his personal safety and set an example of leadership and fighting spirit of the highest order.’ John Davie Coutts served with the York and Lancaster Regiment in Palestine, and during the initial stages of the Second World War. He volunteered for service with No. 52 Commando, which was formed in the Middle East. In February 1941 the latter amalgamated with other commando units to form ‘Layforce’, under the command of Colonel R. Laycock. No. 52 Commando formed part of ‘D’ Battalion, and as such fought during the Battle of Crete, 20 May - 1 June 1941. Coutts was taken prisoner of war by the Germans at the fall of Crete, 1 June 1941. He was transported to a prisoner of war camp in Greece, and from here successfully escaped (see recommendation above). One of the men whom he finally escaped with was Lieutenant W. B. Thomas, and the latter went on to publish his memoirs called Dare To Be Free. Coutts, or ‘Coote’ as he is referred to, features extensively in the book from the point at which they met in April 1942: ‘Well, it’s certainly nice to be able to speak English again,’ said the tall, fair lad as he came in the door, holding his hand out to me in greeting. ‘My name is John, Sergeant John Coote, of the Middle East Commandos, and I am very glad to meet you, I’m sure!’ I [Thomas] i...

Manbahadur Limbu, 7 G.R.’, mounted for wear, M.M. on incorrect riband, nearly very fine (5) £800-£1,000 --- M.M. London Gazette 28 June 1945. The original recommendation states: ‘Period 16 May to 15 August 1944. Naik Manbahadur Limbu was in command of a section at the road block at Mile 33 on the Tiddim Road. On the night of 17/18 May ‘44 the enemy attacked in strength, Naik Manbahadur Limbu thereupon left his bunker and counter attacked the enemy with grenades, killing 7. Himself wounded in the shoulder, he then went to one of the bunkers, took a Bren gun and firing from the hip killed a further 5 enemy, the remainder fleeing. Throughout this action and in the fighting during the next ten days this NCO set a magnificent example of leadership, initiative and offensive spirit in his determination to close with and destroy the enemy.’ Manbahadur Limbu was a Hindu from Phaben village, in the district of Dhankhuta. He served with the 1/7th Gurkha Rifles as part of the 17th Indian Light Division in Burma during the Second World War.

A POLYCHROME AND GILT-LACQUERED 'FOREIGNER' TABLE SCREEN, KANGXI PERIODChina, second half of 17th to early 18th century. Finely painted to one side with a red-haired Dutchman standing on the grassy ground and wearing a characteristic buttoned robe tied at the waist, a boy attendant standing behind him and holding a long blood-stained sword, two lanterns hanging above them. The other side with a gnarled branch with flowers, leafy vines and a butterfly. The frame decorated in gilt lacquer with lotus scrolls and other floral and geometric designs against a black ground.Provenance: Estate of Sear Hang Hwie Pao (1937-2009). Old illegible collector's label attached to frame. Pao was one of Canada's leading dealers of Chinese porcelain and works of art. His antique store, Pao & Moltke Ltd., owned together with his wife Mrs. von Moltke, who descended from a German and Danish noble family, was a fixture in Toronto's trendy Yorkville area from the 1980s to early 2000s.Condition: Old wear, natural age cracks, minor losses and touchups to the frame but not the screen itself. Overall superb condition for a lacquer table screen from the second half of the 17th century.Weight: 352.7 gDimensions: Size 24.5 x 19.3 x 11.4 cmThere was a fascination with all things European at the Qing court during the 17th and 18th centuries. This 'occidentalism' may be directly compared with the fascination of 'chinoiserie' that was sweeping Europe at approximately the same time. This interest in foreigners, their clothes, customs, and belongings is reflected in works of art of the period (see Auction result comparison). Scrolls depicting tribute bearers from foreign lands were commissioned by the court, on which male and female figures from various countries were shown in their different costumes. Reflecting the imperial view of China as at the center of all nations, the scrolls also reveal a certain curiosity about those outside the Middle Kingdom. On one such handscroll in the collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing, many of the figures are described as being from the West and the attributes of each couple are discussed in both Chinese and Manchu (see Splendors of a Flourishing Age, Macau, 1999, no. 42).Interestingly, however, the present figure is devoid of the typical caricatural elements, such as an overtly large nose and eyes or a grotesque expression. Moreover, he is depicted with long earlobes, which are normally seen on Buddhist figures, but were also regarded as lucky in China. The long sleeves and boy attendant are also typical elements of Chinese art that usually did not appear in depictions of foreigners. This suggests a certain respect for the depicted foreigner that went beyond curiosity or fascination. Perhaps he is a Dutch missionary, as indicated by his curly red hair and buttoned robe. One such Dutch missionary was George Candidius (1597-1647), the first missionary to be stationed on the island of Taiwan, who stayed there from 1627 to 1637.Auction result comparison: Compare a famille rose spirit barrel depicting a Dutch drunkard, wearing a similar buttoned jacket, dated to the Qianlong period, at Bonhams London in Fine Chinese Art on 12 May 2016, lot 299, sold for GBP 25,000, and an ivory figure of a kneeling Dutch foreigner, with a similar hairstyle, at Bonhams London in Fine Chinese Art on 16 May 2013, lot 366, sold for GBP 31,250.康熙時期漆金彩繪《外族人像》桌屏中國，十七世紀中葉至十八世紀初。桌屏一面可見彩繪一位紅髮荷蘭人站在草地上，腰間繫著一件極有特色的係扣長袍。身後站著一位童子侍從，他手裡拿著一把染血的長劍。頭部上方掛著兩個燈籠。桌屏另一面描繪著精美的牡丹花卉，鮮花怒放，花團錦簇，旁邊飛舞著一隻蝴蝶。桌屏框以金漆裝飾，黑色地上飾有纏枝蓮紋和其他花卉和幾何圖案。 來源：Sear Hang Hwie Pao (1937-2009) 收藏。畫框上有難以辨認的收藏家舊標籤。Pao是加拿大中國瓷器和藝術品的主要經銷商之一。 他和妻子創立了Pao＆Moltke Ltd古玩店，他們的古玩店從1980年代到2000年代初期曾是多倫多時尚的Yorkville地區的熱門店鋪。 品相：舊時磨損，自然老化的裂紋，輕微缺損。屏框處有修補。對於十七世紀下半葉的漆繪桌屏來説，其總體狀況極佳。 重量：352.7 克 尺寸： 24.5 x 19.3 x 11.4 厘米 拍賣結果比較：一件粉彩醉酒荷蘭人物，穿著相似外袍，乾隆時期，見倫敦邦翰思Fine Chinese Art 2016年5月12日lot 299, 售價GBP 25,000；一件象牙雕荷蘭人像，相似髮型，見倫敦邦翰思 Fine Chinese Art 2013年5月16日 lot 366, 售價GBP 31,250。

A PAIR OF ‘EGG AND SPINACH’ PORCELAIN QUAIL-FORM BOXES AND LIDS CHINA, LATE QING DYNASTY TO REPUBLIC / MINGUO PERIOD Naturalistically molded as two recumbent quails. All enhanced in vivid ‘egg and spinach’, ‘arlequin’ or ‘famille verte’ enamels combining green, yellow and brown enamels. With a rare attention to details as visible when looking at the bases where the legs are depicted. H: 10,3 cm - L: 17 cm Note: Fighting quails (anchun 鵪鶉) seem to have amused elites in Song times, when raising them appears to have been widespread. Information on how to raise and fight quails is preserved in a rare manual entitled ‘Anchun lun’ 論 (Discussions on Quails) published in 1715. The quail signifies courage because of its fighting spirit. It is often used as a visual pun (or rebus) because it is pronounced the same as the word ‘peace’ (an 安). 一对带盖鹌鹑造型瓷盒 中国，19-20世纪 NOTE: CONDITION REPORTS AND MEASUREMENTS It is up to the bidder to satisfy themselves prior to buying as to the condition of a lot.

An important 18th century Lombardy ebony banded walnut and ivory inlaid twin pedestal desk, the top and sides inlaid with a scenes from Homer’s Iliad, after original drawings by John Flaxman RA (1755-1826), within moulded shaped ebony cartouches, fitted with three frieze drawers over hinged cupboards, inlaid with allegories representing Hope and Faith, on later castors.UK APHA Registration of an ivory item Submission reference: D99UXPKP W.118cm D.61cm H.82.4cm LOT ESSAY BY DR. ARABELLA CIFANIThe scene is taken from a drawing that the English sculptor and draftsman, John Flaxman(1755–1826), made to illustrate the passages of Homer's Iliad, a commission proposed to him in 1791 by Georgiana Hare-Naylor while he was living in Rome. Here is represented a rare episode, with Polydamas, a character from Greek mythology soothsayer, adviser and valiant warrior, friend and lieutenant of Hector, who fought in the Trojan War and who, in the twelfth book of the Iliad, advises Hector not to cross a dangerous moat that was part of the defence at the Achaean port and also advises Hector not to continue the siege. Hector will not listen to him and will face death at the hands of Achilles (Homer Iliad 12.60).‘’Then verily Polydamus drew nigh to Hector, and spake, saying: “Hector, and ye other leaders of the Trojans and allies, it is but folly that we seek to drive across the trench our swift horses; hard in sooth is it to cross, for sharp stakes are set in it, and close anigh them is the wall of the Achaeans.’’ Homer - Iliad 12.60John Flaxman, sculptor and draftsman, a leading proponent of English neoclassicism, created 34 drawings for Homer's Iliad in Rome in 1793, which were engraved on copper for the first time in Rome by Tommaso Piroli in 1793 ("L'Iliade et the Odyssée d'Homère gravéepar Thomas Piroli d'après les desseins composés par John Flaxman. 94 gravures ", Francesco Romero publisher, Rome, 1793). The meeting Flaxman and Piroli was a happy union, sealed by a public success that also provoked real acts of editorial piracy. "The reprints followed one another in various original editions or copies of the branches in different European cities, attesting to the vast success achieved from Flaxman's inventions masterfully translated and propagated with the burin of Piroli. Two years later, the plates for "The Iliad" were republished in London. In 1805, publishers Longman, Hurst, Rees and Orme printed new editions of both series, including eleven extra illustrations commissioned from Flaxman (five for "The Iliad" and six for "The Odyssey").The style of the ivory inlay perfectly reflects the spirit of Flaxman's engraving, the figures in fact retain their taste for graffiti, which was an absolute novelty at the time. Flaxman avoided the background landscape, setting and detail, focusing on figures rendered with pure outlines. It has long been known that Flaxman drew on and synthesized a wide variety of visual sources in the development of his outline illustrations, combining classical figuration from "Etruscan" reliefs, sculptures, engravings and vases with forms derived from medieval and early Renaissance sources, life studies and observational sketches of daily Italian scenes and characters. Flaxman's style of illustration has been discussed and celebrated by a multitude of critics across Europe and has had a demonstrable influence on artists such as Ingres, Goya and Blake.The cabinet is also enriched with other ivory inlays, representing divinities and allegories, including the allegory of Hope and Faith.GORRINGE’S are grateful to Dr. Cifani, for her identification of John Flaxman’s designs, used in the ivory inlays on this desk.Overall a little evenly faded to a light walnut tone with old dents, small losses and splits throughout commensurate with age, ivory inlay looks to be mostly complete but some small losses notably to the right side of the top, the doors to the drawers are fitted with English locks but no escutcheons suggesting the later addition of the veneers, cupboard doors have Italian locks but no key, lower front right corner is broken with the foot now come loose, minor dents and scuffing elsewhere around the base.PLEASE NOTE:- Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which they are interested BEFORE the auction takes place.
