Lot 1123
2nd-1st millennium B.C. With central socket and shaft; cutting blade set vertically at a right-angle; the short pick-adze blade arranged horizontally. Cf. Christie's, The Axel Guttmann Collection of Ancient Arms and Armour, part 2, London, 2004, item 21. 1.3 kg, 26 cm (10 1/4 in.). Acquired 1980-2015. Ex Abelita family collection. The earliest axe-adzes from the 3rd millennium B.C. were weapons and tools furnished with socket holes. Usually a socket was a more secure way of attaching the object to a wooden haft than having a tang. These weapons developed into a plethora of different forms in the 2nd millennium B.C., and the numerous new forms and were used until at least 800 B.C.
Lot 1226
Circa 85,000-40,000 B.C. Comprising twenty transverse style arrowheads. 149 grams total, 30-47 mm (1 1/8 - 1 7/8 in.). From Grotte des Pigeons in Taforalt, Morocco. From the Arthur Halcrow Versage collection, Reigate, Surrey, UK. The tang would have been inserted into a split handle or shaft material, like wood or bone, and then bound in position with cord, or with a binding agent which would have harden to form a permanent bond. The Aterian is the name given to a distinctive stone tool industry made by anatomically modern humans between about 80,000 and 40,000 years ago. The tools are found on sites in northern Africa between the Atlantic coast to the Kharga Oasis and the western edge of the Nile River Basin. The manufacturing process for these tools is derived from the earlier Mousterian methods for working stone, using prepared and shaped cores from which were struck off large flakes which were then often unifacially trimmed into the desired tool shapes. They continued with the same basic stone working processes, but with a major conceptual difference. The Aterian style tools are the first to have clearly been designed and manufactured to be mounted on handles, with the projectile points and the scrapers having distinctive prepared tangs at the base of the tool or projectile point.

Lot 1272
2nd-1st millennium B.C. Comprising four pieces of copper 'bun' ingot, two showing characteristic edge cross-section. 556 grams total, 28-58 mm (1 1/8 - 2 1/4 in.). UK gallery, early 2000s. These bun ingots were cast in shallow saucer depressions cut into rock where the copper ore was mined and smelted; they were then carried and traded across Europe before being broken up, melted down and having tin added to form bronze alloy; fragments such as these are frequently found as part of smith's hoards of, usually, worn out tools, weapons and raw material from the Late Bronze Age.

Lot 1292
2nd-1st millennium B.C. Comprising three pieces of copper 'bun' ingot, one showing the characteristic edge cross-section. 508 grams total, 54-69 mm (2 1/8 - 2 3/4 in.). UK gallery, early 2000s. These bun ingots were cast in shallow saucer depressions cut into rock where the copper ore was mined and smelted; they were then carried and traded across Europe before being broken up, melted down and having tin added to form bronze alloy; fragments such as these are frequently found as part of smith's hoards of, usually, worn out tools, weapons and raw material from the Late Bronze Age.

Lot 1635
14th-16th century A.D. Composed of tools, fittings, cleavers, sickles, spurs, rowels and various other miscellaneous artefacts. See Read, B., Identifying Detector Finds, figs.356-357, pp.62-63, for similar. 5.9 kg total, 15-35.5 cm (1/2 - 14 in.). Acquired 1990s-early 2000s. East Anglian private collection. The spurs in this group can be identified and chronologically dated due to the multipoint rowels, which are typical of mid-late 15th century A.D. The rapid development of the armour in 15th century did not influence the trend for necks of rowel-spurs to considerably increase in length, a style which persisted well into the first half of 16th century A.D.

RARE REGENCY MAHOGANY SLIPPER-MAKER'S WORK TABLE EARLY 19TH CENTURY the removable lift-off tray top revealing a three quarter gallery and compartmented interior, above frieze drawers to both short sides, raised on tapered end supports and downscrolling legs ending in brass caps and castors and united by a turned stretcher, with neoclassical gilt metal mounts throughout; containing a quantity of 19th century slipper-making tools and materials, leather soles, and wood lasts some stamped I THORPE/ STAFFORD and F. MACKIEDimensions:59cm wide, 87cm high, 42cm deepProvenance:Provenance: John George Joicey Bequest CollectionNote: Note: Women in the 18th and 19th centuries were expected to exhibit their needleworking skills in a variety of ways by making both decorative as well as useful items. The embroidery of slipper uppers became a widespread domestic pastime for the upper and middle classes, as slippers were usually worn by ladies at home. Patterns could be purchased or taken from magazines, and when the embroidered uppers were completed, they would be taken to a shoemaker for finishing. In 1847 the cost of making up a pair of worked slippers was 14 shillings, about the same price as a pair of ready-made French slippers. Not many people would have had the skill or equipment to undertake the whole process from start to finish, making the present work table so rare. The present table would appear to be a one-off, made and outfitted for an accomplished amateur slipper maker.
