A Douglas Hayward grey flannel three-piece suit made for Sir Roger Moore in For Your Eyes Only1981A jacket, pair of trousers and waistcoat in charcoal grey, labelled on each 'Hayward - 95 Mount Street, London W1Y 5HG', and handwritten 'Roger Moore', dated '04.08.80' and numbered '14594'; identical to the suit worn by James Bond in the Eon Production For Your Eyes Only during the helicopter scene, Footnotes:'Alright, keep your hair on!'James Bond [Sir Roger Moore] in For Your Eyes Only (1981)In the pre-title sequence, Bond wears the Hayward grey flannel suit as he wrestles for control of a remotely hijacked helicopter over the streets of London. Bond identifies the culprit as a wheelchair-bound 'Blofeld' on a nearby rooftop (credited simply as 'bald-headed man with white cat'), and promptly dispatches the assailant by dropping him into the Beckton gas works in East London.For Your Eyes Only marks the first film that Douglas Hayward made the suits for Sir Roger Moore's Bond. Following the more flamboyant costumes of the 1970s peaking with Moonraker (1979), Moore's fifth outing as Bond saw a return to a more traditional style reminiscent of Sean Connery. To achieve this look Douglas Hayward was hired as tailor, replacing Angelo Roma, and would have made more than one suit for use in the filming of the scene. Since 1963 Hayward had established himself as a highly regarded tailor, dressing stars including Michael Caine, Steve McQueen and Terence Stamp among many others.Please note that the shirt and tie are for illustrative purposes only and are not included in the lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Listed from 1876-1902 as 'cabinet makers, upholsterers, decorators, glaziers and parquet flooring manufacturers' it is not surprising that they undertook commissions for many of the great country houses, promoting the firm at twelve or more of the 19th British, European and American exhibitions including the 1851 Great Exhibition. Howard & Sons moved to Berners Street, London from 1847, the address frequently seen stamped on their furniture.

A LATE VICTORIAN OAK CENTRE TABLE BY GILLOWS, LATE 19TH CENTURY The drawer stamped 'GILLOWS 16534', the lock stamped 'HOBBS & CO LONDON', the cushion shaped frieze and arcades to all four sides 75.5cm high, 82.5cm wide, 50cm deep Literature: S. Stuart, 'A Survey of Marks, Labels, and Stamps used on Gillow and Waring & Gillow Furniture 1770-1960', Regional Furniture, 1998, pp. 58-93. https://bifmo.furniturehistorysociety.org/entry/gillow-company-1862-1897. Accessed 25 June 2023. This table is in the 'Jacobethan' style fashionable from the latter part of the 19th century, a style comprising Renaissance, Elizabethan and Jacobean motifs. 'Several combinations of marks and numbering systems seem to have been utilised by Gillow's branches [London and Lancaster] during the nineteenth century' (Stuart, p. 81). The impressed '16534' stamp on the drawer of this table denotes the Gillows' pattern number, entered into the relevant Gillows' Estimate Sketch Book on the page opposite the drawing, sometimes with the journeyman's name responsible for the work. The Estimate Sketch Books, however, only survive for Lancaster, not for London, and not all of Gillows' designs are included (ibid., pp. 66, 72). In circa 1884, when this table was probably made, the omission of an 'L' prefix to the pattern number suggests that the table was probably made in London rather than Lancaster; an 'L' prefix identified Lancaster from circa 1870. This suggestion is reinforced by the 'GILLOWS' stamp, also on the drawer, rather than 'GILLOWS LANCASTER' or 'GILLOWS & Co LANCASTER' (ibid., p. 65). If this table was made in London, it was probably at Gillows' 'works' at George Street, Grosvenor Square, established in 1881, and as Susan Stuart suggests, London may have had their own numbering system (ibid., p. 79). Condition Report: N.B. The photograph on page 60 of the catalogue shows a key resting on the corner of this table top - this key is not for this table, the key is part of lot 123. There is no key for this table.Overall there are some scratches, marks, dark stains, knocks, cracks and abrasions consistent with age and use.Observations include:Open joins to the three plank top. The top has a slight bow, raised slightly to the front with a small gap between the frieze and top.There are chips generally to some edges and corners including the top, supports and feet.There are impressions to the drawer front where the swing handle touches the drawer front.The table has the same carved decoration to all four sides, the legs are carved to all four sides.One carved rectangular capital to the frieze above a leg is missing one narrow section.Please see the additional condition report photographs as a visual reference of condition.
