The following three lots, because of their date-range, may have belonged to General George Vaughan Hart or either of his sons, John Richard James or George Vaughan, or all three men. FOUR PAIRS OF GENTLEMAN`S PANTALOONS, CIRCA 1790-1820, in varying weights of unlined white cotton, three pairs with a four-button waist and one pair with a two-button waist, three pairs with tie-flies and one with a button-fly, all with French bearers, with tie-tighteners at knees and centre backs (varying conditions but all with staining and some damage). Pantaloons were fashionable wear for European gentlemen from the 1790s until circa 1820 and were worn in civilian clothes as well as in naval and military uniform, frequently being made in stretch cotton kerseymere and generally worn with pumps or soft knee-length boots of the type known as `hessians`. These pantaloons resemble what would now be known as `jodhpurs`, a type of legwear derived from the Indian pajama trousers, and this fact, together with their very light weight and manufacture from thin cotton, may indicate that they were made in India for wear in the 1790s by General George Vaughan Hart. However, British naval officers also wore white pantaloons, with hessian boots, until the 1820s and so they may equally have been worn by Commander George Vaughan Hart during his early days in the Royal Navy.
Wallis - The Duchess of Windsor handwritten letter to Baroness Kitty de Rothschild on Boulevard Suchet notepaper - their Paris home with the Duchess`s WW crowned cipher dated Saturday 18th (March or November) 1939: Kitty Dear, I hear from Antonio that you have returned from your triumphal tour, every letter I received from America spoke of your charm, chic etc. I am having endless trouble finding furniture - the house is really empty except for a tiny boudoir and half of a dining room, but if you and Eugene would have a picnic dinner next Friday the 24th we should so love to see you. I hope this latest ....... has not affected you - dinner 8.45 and a black tie for Eugene. We shall be just 4, always affectionately Wallis Wallis and Kitty were both divorced Americans who re-married well and had a close friendship. The de Rothschilds gave sanctuary to King Edward VIII during the abdication crisis at their Austrian castle. Kitty died in 1946. The Windsors house on Boulevard Suchet went on to become one of the most well furnished homes in Paris.

A rare Poiret for Liberty velvet house robe, circa 1930, of double-layered contrasting purple and crimson velvet, frilled collar, with simple tie belt threaded through gold lace edged openings, embroidered to the velvet lining in chain stitch `Liberty by Poiret`, chest 96cm, 38in. When Paul Poiret`s business empire crumbled in the late 1920s (he became bankrupt in 1929, also the year his wife divorced him) he became a freelance designer as a means of scraping a living. In 1933 Printemps commissioned him to design a ready to wear range but it ended in failure due to Poiret`s inability to make affordable clothing. This rare example of Liberty clothing must have been a similar venture. Edna Chase the celebrated US Vogue editor wrote of a visit to Paris where she came across him one morning "I hated the hotel coffee, so would walk to a small nearby restaurant run by Sherry`s for my breakfast. On several mornings I saw Poiret there, looking soiled and shabby and someone told me he was completely broke and that Sherry`s gave him his breakfast." cf `Always in Vogue` Edna Woolman Chase, p.120.
