An icon of 20th century design, this furniture is part of important collections such as that of the MoMA in New York. Vitra has manufactured the Charles and Ray Eames Lounge Chair using the same manufacturing methods since the 1950s.Charles and Ray Ames, a husband and wife artistic couple, worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and film, and are responsible for numerous designs that have become classics of the 20th century. Charles Eames studied architecture for two years at the University of Washington, then began his career working in a studio on residential housing projects. In 1938 he moved to Cranbrook, Michigan, to continue studying architecture and design at the city's Academy of Art. He eventually became a teacher there, heading the industrial design department. Together with Eero Saarinen, the son of his teacher Eliel Saarinen, he designed the trophy for the Organic Design Prize, awarded by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1941, after divorcing his first wife, he married his colleague at Cranbrook, Ray Kaiser. Together they settled in Los Angeles, where they remained for the rest of their lives. In the late 1940s, Ray and Charles designed their home together, known as the "Eames House", now considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. In the 1950s the couple continued to work in architecture and furniture design, pioneering the use of new techniques and materials such as fibreglass and plastic resin in the manufacture of chairs. They are currently represented in the Design Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others.

SWORD OF PRUDENCE A George III gilt-etched and blued-steel presentation sword, late 18th / early 19th century, engraved to the gilt metal quillons on one side 'SWORD OF PRUDENCE' and on the other, 'Presented to the Rt Hon.ble C. J. Fox, with the warmest respect / BY A BRITON & A LOVER of his COUNTRY', with double-edged blued steel and parcel-gilt blade, gilt-etched on one side 'Consider well weigh Strictly Right & Wrong, / Resolve not quick, but once resolv'd be Strong', above a martial trophy and British emblem, on the other side gilt-etched with the figures of Prudence, Justice and Britannia; wire-bound grip and gilt metal vase-shaped pommel; with the original wood and gilt metal scabbard, original crimson fabric covering worn98cm long Provenance: Presented to Charles James Fox (1749-1806) and by descent.By repute presented by the Earl of Ilchester to a relation of the present owner.Charles James Fox (1749-1806) was the leading Whig statesman of the late 18th century, and political opponent of the Tory Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger. Fox's political career lasted over 38 years. Fox championed the causes of liberty, religious minorities, the French Revolution and was a fierce opponent of the King, George III. The King’s eldest son George, Prince of Wales was a Fox-ite ally and regularly wore a buff-coloured waistcoat, indicating his political support for the Whig party.Edmund Burke’s eulogy of Fox, in the House of Commons, after he took on the tyranny of the East India Company, 1 December 1783: "He well knows what snares are spread about his path, from personal animosity…and possibly from popular delusion. But he has put to hazard his ease, his security, his interest, his power, even his…popularity. …He is traduced and abused for his supposed motives. He will remember that obloquy is a necessary ingredient in the composition of all true glory: he will remember…that calumny and abuse are essential parts of triumph. …He may live long, he may do much. But here is the summit. He never can exceed what he does this day." The quotation was used by President (at the time Senator) John F Kennedy as the Frontispiece to his book Profiles in Courage, 1956. The inscription on the blade is taken from Charles Churchill's poem "Night, an epistle to Robert Lloyd", 1761.

The name Anoakia was created from the first two letters of Anita, the oak trees on the land, and the last two letters of Arcadia.Anita Baldwin (1876-1939) was the daughter of Elias Jackson ‘Lucky’ Baldwin (1828-1909) and both were significant figures in the history and development of Southern California. Not least in establishing Arcadia as a City and Lucky Baldwin became its first Mayor. Anita was an independent and philanthropic woman who inherited a love of animals from her father and when she built her home she also established a breeding farm for livestock and purebred horses. She also established the Anoakia kennels. The California Poppy is the State flower of California and an article in the Pasadena Star News, dated April 5th 1916, has the headline “California Poppy is used as a trophy Design by Mrs Anita Baldwin. Granted copyright by U.S Government to owner of Anokia (sic) Kennels.” The article goes on to say: “The California poppy is the design of the trophy, the flower forming the bowl, while the stem is in the shape of the leaves. The design is one that has been greatly admired and for that reason Mrs Baldwin had it copyrighted.”Sotheby’s Paris, April 15 2010, sold an American punch bowl, without hallmarks and makers marks “..in form of the Californian poppy, comprising large punch bowl and stand, 12 cups and a punch ladle, engraved ANOAKIA”. The Roseberys coffee set shows similarities to the Sotheby’s punch set. (Sadly, preservationists were unable to save the Anoakia mansion and it was demolished in 2000, the site is now a gated community known as Anoakia Estates.)(112 ozs). Some tarnishing to all surfaces, with light wear, some old marks and rubbing. Normal wear to bases and underside of tray and some stains to top of the bases of the receptacles.Only the sugar tongs are marked with maker's marks and 'Sterling', all other parts of the set anonymous without any guarantee marks. Metals tested - the silver-coloured metal handles and bases test as 925 standard and the metal beneath the gilt as 800 standard. Presumed American because of the 'Anoakia' inscription.
