CHRIS KNIGHT (born 1964); four hallmarked silver drinking vessels in the form of cones on cubes, Sheffield 1993, height 17cm, combined approx. 35.45ozt (4). Provenance: Commissioned by the Vlaams Instituut voor het Zelfstandig Odernemen (Belgian Arts Council) and subsequently purchased from the artist, 2003. Exhibited: Veiligheidsinstituut, Antwerp and then touring to Brussels, Kortrijk and Coventry, Een Schitterend Feest (A Sparkling Party), 1993. Knight wrote to the Firths thanking them for purchasing the set of four drinking vessels, explaining they were 'designed around thoughts on an informal dinner with friends, followed by a game of cards and discussion, the spirit of the design was one of contemplative playfulness'. Alan later wrote of their visit to Knight's studio: 'After looking at the pieces Chris had set out for us he took some items from the safe. A drinking vessel of extraordinary form was unwrapped - a cone shaped vessel on a cube base - and we liked the look of it. There were three more wrapped up in the safe. They had it seems been 'put away' since they were old works - 1993 - and had been commissioned for a Belgian Crafts Council exhibition. Pat was told the four would be a bargain £1800. I simply said 'I'll have them'. CONDITION REPORT: Appears good with no obvious signs of faults, damage or restoration.
An undisputedly fine motorcar, the Graham Hull-penned Silver Seraph marked Rolls-Royce's intention to reclaim its reputation as producer of `the best car in the world'. Following a long gestation period that dated back to the late '80s, the model was actually only made for four years - 1998 to 2002 - as a result of which just 1,570 examples ultimately vacated the factory in Crewe, making it a relatively rare breed. The company claimed the monocoque chassis to be 65 percent stiffer than that of the Silver Spirit it replaced. Power came from a BMW-derived all-alloy V12 engine of 5.4-litres, making it the first 12-cylinder car to transport the Silver Lady since the mighty Phantom III of 1939. The Seraph shared its platform, bodyshell and much else with the Bentley Arnage of the period. But while the twin-turbo V8-powered and more stiffly-suspended Arnage was aimed at the enthusiast driver, the Seraph was all about comfort and luxury. 'W801 VGO' was supplied new in 2000 by Jack Barclay. Its bodywork is resplendent in Silver that's matched to Black hide interior trim. The Rolls boasts a comprehensive and continuous service record, all the maintenance for which has been carried out by franchised Rolls-Royce agents, with the most recent attention having being supplied by Jack Barclay. The records evidently support the Seraph's currently displayed total mileage of just 29,942. The motorcar's impressive specification includes: burr walnut interior cappings; electrically-controlled sunroof; heated front and rear seats; lambs-wool over rugs; and a brand new set of White-walled tyres. The vendor makes no hesitation in branding the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and automatic transmission as all being 'immaculate', and is doubtless correct in saying that really good examples of the breed are rapidly becoming harder to find. This one comes complete with the aforementioned service books, receipts etc.
