Pair: Colour Sergeant J. Hutton, 93rd (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders) Foot, who served in ‘The Thin Red Line’ at the Battle of Balaklava and saw later service at the Relief of Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny, and afterwards at Umbeyla India General Service 1854-95, 1 clasp, Umbeyla (2184 Sergt J. Hutton, 93rd Highlanders); Army Meritorious Service Medal, E.VII.R. (Clr:-Serjt: J. Hutton. 93rd Foot) contact marks to IGS with top lugs clipped from clasp, good very fine, MSM extremely fine (2) £600-£800 --- James Hodgson Hutton was born in Bonaw, Argyllshire, in November, 1829. He enlisted into 93rd (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders) at Glasgow, in November, 1847. Serving for 21 years until 1868 - and awarded his LSGC as a Colour Sergeant in 1867 - he was later recommended for the MSM in March 1898, when he had a clear Defaulters' Sheet. The following has been extracted from a copy of 79th News: ‘During his time with the Regiment he saw all the fighting in which the 93rd took part during his long service yet was never in hospital once, even when wounded at the assault on the Secunderabagh at the Relief of Lucknow - a remarkable record - for he was also a veteran of "The Thin Red Line". He was entitled to Queen's Crimea (Alma, Balaclava, Sebastopol), Indian Mutiny (Relief of Lucknow, Lucknow), IGSM 1854 (Umbeyla), LS & GC, MSM and Turkish Crimea. He was appointed Lance-Corporal. Indecision about re-enlisting after his ten year engagement probably cost him further promotion. However, tempted by a further spell in China he re-signed and was immediately promoted Corporal at Dover, becoming Lance Sergeant at Calcutta when the Battn. disembarked there for service in India. He became Sergeant during the Relief of Lucknow, the many casualties amongst NCOs giving him his promotion. He was finally promoted Colour-Sergeant of No. 7 Company (Captain Gordon-Alexander's) at Rawalpindi, in 1861. He remained in that rank until he returned home from Jhansi, for discharge, in November, 1868. He served a further five years with the Permanent Staff, 2nd Lanark Militia as Musketry Instructor and four more years with the Dumbartonshire Volunteers at Cardross. He then served in a number of positions of trust until failing eyesight caused him to retire from active employment. On replying to a question of his impressions on seeing the 93rd for the first time, on its return from Canada in 1848, Colour-Sergeant Hutton stated, "it was then the finest looking and best conducted Regiment in the Army, and was composed almost entirely of Highlanders, the exceptions being Lowland Scots, and over 600 men spoke Gaelic in the Regiment." His obituary in The Thin Red Line in 1906 regrets his loss of sight in his later years but states that, with the true courage, however, which enabled him to storm the Heights of Alma, endure the privations of the whole of the Crimea Campaign, and take a man's part in avenging the horrors of the Indian Mutiny, the old warrior bore himself with soldierly spirit to the last. He was a splendid type of the Highlanders who under Sir Colin Campbell made the name of the "Ninety-third" conspicuous for its gallantry in the campaigns of the Nineteenth century.’
A Second War ‘Burma operations’ M.B.E., O.B.I. group of eight awarded to Subedar & Hon. Lieutenant Kanshi Ram, Bahadur, 1st Battalion, 17th Dogra Regiment, who was decorated and mentioned in despatches for his leadership in the Arakan and Imphal, to which distinctions he later added the 2nd Class of the Order of British India Order of British India, 2nd Class neck badge, gold and enamel; The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, M.B.E.

London Gazette 28 June 1945. The original recommendation states: ‘Sub. Major Kanshi Ram has been holding the appointment of Subadar-Major of this battalion since May 1942, when the Battalion entered East Bengal with the 14th Indian Division. Since then he has been with the Battalion throughout the first and second Arakan campaigns and, since mid-March 1944, in the Imphal Plain when the Battalion flew into Imphal with the 5th Indian Division, up to date. Throughout this period the Battalion has been engaged in hard and sustained fighting under the most difficult and trying conditions, and has emerged with a fighting record and reputation second to none; also during this period two successive commanders have been appointed to Brigade Commands. The part played by Subadar-Major Kanshi Ram in these successes cannot be either too strongly stressed or over emphasised. By his untiring endeavour, his tact and his sense of duty and discipline, he has throughout instilled in all ranks a spirit that has ensured that the Battalion has at all times been not only a happy and contented one but the first class fighting team that it has proved itself to be.’ Kanshi Ram was a Bhawal from the village of Brog in the Kangra district. Attesting for the 17th Dogra Regiment in June 1926, he witnessed active service in the 1st Battalion in the Burma operations of 1932 (Medal with clasp) and, having been appointed Jemadar in May 1936, on the North-West Frontier in the late 1930s (Medal & 2 clasps). Advanced to Subadar in July 1940 and to the war substantive rank of Subadar-Major in February 1943, he remained similarly employed in the 1st Battalion throughout the Burma campaign 1944-45, and was awarded the M.B.E. and mentioned in despatches (London Gazette 9 May 1946), as well as being awarded the Order of British India (O.B.I.), 2nd Class.

Ca. 100-300 AD.A garnet intaglio depicting a stag. The majestic creature faces right, its muscular body rendered in profile and captured in a dynamic pose of graceful movement, as if caught mid-stride. Situated in the background are delicately etched trees, serving as a contextual backdrop for the stag's presence. The intaglio is housed within a possibly later gold ring. The ring itself features a round hoop, exhibiting a rounded exterior and expanded shoulders. Within Roman glyptic art, animal representations held a multifaceted significance, encompassing both mythical and naturalistic elements. Such depictions often conveyed symbolic meanings, drawing upon the broader cultural and religious beliefs prevalent in the Roman world. The stag, for instance, embodied notions of strength, agility, and virility. Its depiction in a dynamic pose, as if captured in the midst of running, further emphasizes the animal's vitality and energetic spirit. Size: D: 18.95mm / US: 9 / UK: R 1/2; 5.31g Provenance: Private UK collection; Ex. old Swiss family collection formed in the 1990s.
Ca. 618-907 AD.A hollow molded terracotta figure portrays a lady in a kneeling position. The figure's attire is meticulously rendered, with a striking contrast between the vibrant red skirt and the white bodice. The artist has paid careful attention to the facial features, using black pigment to delineate the lady's visage, while accentuating her lips with a vibrant shade of red. The hair is expertly styled into a double topknot, adding to her refined and sophisticated appearance. In the lady's hands rests a waist drum, an instrument that holds significant cultural and ceremonial value in the Tang Dynasty. Musician figures were prevalent during this period, reflecting the dynasty's appreciation for music and performance as integral parts of courtly life. These figures were often placed in the tombs of the affluent, serving as companions and entertainers for the deceased in the afterlife. Mingqi, or "spirit objects," held a crucial role in Tang Dynasty funerary practices. These replicas of everyday objects, including figures like this one, were crafted with great care and placed within tombs to accompany and serve the deceased in the afterlife. The Tang Dynasty believed in the continuity of life beyond death, and mingqi played a vital role in fulfilling the needs and desires of the departed. It was believed that these objects could provide comfort, protection, and entertainment in the spiritual realm. This piece has been precisely dated having undergone Thermo Luminescence analysis by Ralf Kotalla, an independent German Laboratory. The samples collected date the piece to the period reflected in its style, whilst also showing no modern trace elements. Its TL certificate with the full report will also accompany this lot. Cf. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Accession Number: 23.180.4–.7. Size: L:250mm / W:135mm ; 1.38kg Provenance: East Anglian private collection; formerly acquired in the early 1990s in Hong Kong.
Ca. 100-200 AD.A silver legionary eagle portrays the iconic bird in a commanding and unmistakable form. Rendered with meticulous craftsmanship, this depiction presents the eagle in a dignified standing pose, its powerful wings elegantly folded against its back. The small head, complete with a meticulously crafted beak and recessed eyes, conveys a sense of intensity and alertness. The intricate detailing of the body, skillfully imitating the intricate plumage, further accentuates the artistry involved in its creation. In the context of the Roman army, the eagle held profound symbolism and played a crucial role. Serving as a standard, the eagle was carried by the legionary eagle-bearer at the forefront of Roman military formations, embodying the spirit, power, and authority of the Roman legions. It represented the unity, loyalty, and discipline of the soldiers, serving as a rallying point and source of inspiration on the battlefield. Size: L:2.85mm / W:12.6mm ; 8g Provenance: Private London collection, pre-2000s.
2004 Bentley Arnage R Transmission: automaticMileage:80000The Bentley Arnage was launched in 1998, a large luxury saloon car that replaced the previous Bentley Turbo saloon. Built by Bentley Motors in Crewe, England from 1998 to 2009, the Arnage and its Rolls-Royce sibling named the Silver Seraph, were introduced in the Spring of 1998 and were the first entirely new designs for the two marques since 1980 when the Silver Spirit and Mulsanne models were introduced. In 2002, Bentley updated the Red Label as the series two Arnage R. This model was launched to contrast the Arnage T, which was developed to be a sportier variant. The Arnage R features two Garrett T3 turbochargers fitted to the engine as with the RL. Bentley quote the Arnage R as being an unrivalled example of the Grand Touring philosophy, making every journey a unique experience of power, luxury and control. A place where two very different worlds are perfectly united. Tradition and technology in absolute harmony.Finished in deep blue with a full luxurious cream leather interior, this facelift Bentley Arnage R was first registered on 23rd August 2004 and has been owned by our vendor, a private gentleman, since 2017. The car recently competed a 1,000 mile UK trip without fault and we are informed it drives beautifully. Recent expenditure of more than £10,000 over the past 24 months with Stewart Walker Bentley & Rolls Royce after previous maintenance with Jack Barclay in Mayfair shows a no expense spared philosophy to maintenance. Comprehensively serviced by main dealer and specialists, the car had new OEM tyres fitted just last year and we are told has cold air conditioning and no warning lights, picknick tables, two Bentley umbrellas and a Bentley car cover, indeed a lovely car, one of the last made by hand in crew Crewe. This is a wonderful luxury saloon car that to this day oozes understated class while still offering effortless power, the only question is drive or be driven?
