A Dunhill Aquarium table lighter, the lucite panels decorated with fish and aquatic foliage 8 x 10cm (3 x 4in) The lucite (perspex) panel decorated with fish underwater was created using the reverse intaglio technique. This engraving technique carves into the back of the perspex which is then hand painted to produce a "3D" effect. It was a popular technique during the 1940s and 1950s but few artists today have the knowledge and ability to produce these works making them a unique and collectable art form.

§ William Scott (British, 1913-1989) Table top still life signed lower left "W Scott" gouache 26 x 37cm (10 x 14in) Provenance: Given by William Scott to the sculptor William Redgrave (1903–86); (Bill) Redgrave and his wife Mary in St. Ives, Cornwall; sold by Mrs Mary Redgrave to the present owner's mother, and thence by descent Other Notes: William Scott was born at Greenock, Scotland and studied at Belfast College of Art and later at the Royal Academy between 1831 and 1935. His time spent in France in the late 1930s inspired him to paint still lifes which were more traditional than his table top still lifes of the 1950s, which saw him working in a more abstract manner. Whilst serving in the Army from 1942 to 1946 Scott painted watercolours of soldiers and the local landscape. Scott returned to painting in earnest in 1946, concentrating on still-lifes of pots and saucepans, eggs, fishes and bottles on a bare kitchen table - simple objects chosen for their contrasting shapes. In original frame and mount, with some browning round the mount.
