See Mitchiner, M., Medieval Pilgrim & Secular Badges, London, 1986; Spencer, B., Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges, Woodbridge, 2010. 630 grams total, 4-24cm (1 1/2 - 9 1/2"). Property of a Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, UK, reverend; by inheritance and descent from the collections of Charles Frederick Spink (1878-1945); holder of the Royal Warrant to provide medals for Queen Victoria and dealer in fine arts with the firm Spink & Son; the pilgrim badges found in London at Queenhithe, 1867 and at Steel Yard, 1863. The objects in this group were all the property of Charles Frederick Spink (1878-1945) at the time of his death and were kept in his private writing desk, of 'William and Mary' date (1690-1700); item (C) is a photograph of this desk showing the arrangement of drawers and slots in which the items were held. Charles was a member of his family firm Spink & Son Ltd, long-established dealers and auctioneers in fine arts, antiquities and coins and makers of medals and orders, including for the Royal Family and internationally; the firm famously continues to the present day. The pilgrim badges are interesting, and it is no exaggeration to say that the gothic tracery (item Aii) is a remarkable survival and largely intact (see Spencer, 2010, items 86 and 142 for similar but much smaller specimens of the type"). The armoured figure (item Ai) is of a type which appears in depictions of the martyrdom of Archbishop Thomas Becket, St. Alban (Mitchener, 1986, item 249) or St. Edmund (Mitchener, 1986, item 247) where the physical violence of the martyr's death is emphasised. [13] Fine condition. The pilgrim badges exceptional and rare.

* ARTHUR HENRY TURNER (BRITISH 1901 - 1970), CLYDE STEAMSHIP IN ROUGH SEAS mixed media on canvas board, signed 35cm x 46cm Framed and under glass. Provenance: Property of Lady Goodwin. Note: Arthur Turner, who was born in England in 1901, was a successful Glasgow shipbroker who moved to Aidengrove, Argyll Road, Kilcreggan (a village on the Rosneath peninsula in Argyll and Bute, West of Scotland) in 1929. Surrounded by ships in his working day, he was happy to relax in his peninsula home with paintbrush or pencil and to surround himself with pictures of boats. He built himself a studio in his house in Kilcreggan which looked out over the pier and the Firth of Clyde, and, in his later years, he was able to indulge his passion for painting ships and the ever changing moods of sea and sky. He died in 1970 at the age of 70.
