The Bedchamber Sword of Tipu Sultan (reg. 1782-1799), a fine gold-koftgari-hilted steel sword (sukhela) India, 18th Centurythe single-edged steel blade with flattened spine becoming double-edged towards the point, gold-overlaid inscription to spine, gold overlaid orb and parasol mark to one side, engraved inscription in English within a rectangular cartouche to the other, the steel hilt of typical tulwar form with dished disc pommel, convex pommel cap with hinged gold loop for sword knot, bellied grip and short waisted quillons curving slightly towards the tip of the blade, the hilt itself canted slightly forward, inlaid in gold with inscriptions in thuluth, bubri motifs to the edge, pierced hole to blade; the wood scabbard clad entirely in green corded silk velvet, with three silver-gilt mounts engraved overall with bubri stripes and floral motifs, the upper two with gilded iron suspension loops, the chape with impressed inscription-filled bubri motif (Haider control mark) to each side 105.9 cm. long; blade 92.9 cm. long; 109 cm. long (in scabbard)Footnotes:ProvenanceTipu Sultan (reg. 1782-1799), found in his private apartments following his death.Major General David Baird (1757-1829), presented by the Army of the East India Company in May 1799, thence by descent. Dix Noonan Webb, The Baird Jewels and Archive, Including Tipu Sultan's Sword, 19 September 2003, lot 3.Private UK collection.The inscriptions are as follows:THE SWORD OF TIPPOO SULTAUNFound in his Bed Chamber after SERINGAPATAM was taken by Storm 4th May 1799and Presented by the ARMY to MAJOR GENERAL BAIRD through their CommanderLIEUT. GENERAL HARRIS, as a token of their high opinion of his Courage and Conductin the Assault which he Commanded, and in which TIPPOO SULTAUN was slain.To the spine, shamshir-e malik, 'The sword of the king';To the hilt, ya allah! ya nasir! ya fattah! ya nasir! ya mu'in! ya zahir!, 'O Allah!, O the Helper! O the Ever-opener! O the Aider! O The Helper! O The Evident!.Impressed mark to chape, hayderThe Bedchamber SwordAs the cannons fired their last shots, and the waves of battle receded at Seringapatam, Tipu Sultan lay dead amid a heap of wounded, killed fighting hand to hand in the heat of the action. Major General David Baird, commander of the East India Company forces that day, who had previously spent almost four years in Tipu's dungeons, was led to the body by one of the sultan's courtiers. An eyewitness recorded that 'His eyes were open and the body was so warm that for a few moments Colonel Wellesley and myself were doubtful whether he was still alive' - Baird was able to look his adversary in the eye one last time (see Denys Forrest, Tiger of Mysore. The Life and Death of Tipu Sultan, London 1970, p. 293). Later, a sword was recovered from the defeated ruler's private apartments which was subsequently presented to Baird by the Army as a Trophy of his victory. In this way 'The Bedchamber Sword' became the symbol of the late sultan himself – his power and authority yielded to the British General in defeat. It was recorded by Francis Buchanan-Hamilton that 'The Sultan, lest any person should fire upon him while in bed, slept in a hammock, which was suspended from the roof by chains, in such a situation as to be invisible through the windows. In the hammock were found a sword and a pair of pistols.' (Francis Buchanan, A Journey From Madras Through The Countries of Mysore, Canara and Malabar..., London, East India Company, 1807, Vol. 1, p. 72). One can only conjecture that this was the same sword, but considering that it was presented as the Trophy to Baird signifies that it must have been one of his most prized possessions, and its importance would presumably have been known by Tipu's family and retainers at the time the prize was selected. Of all the arms and armour removed from Seringapatam after its fall which have subsequently been sold at auction, the present lot is undoubtedly the most important, with an unbroken provenance taking it back to the final day of the battle itself; moreover, to the bedchamber of the Tiger of Mysore himself. It is almost certainly the most important relic of Seringapatam still in private hands. The sword itself is a masterpiece of Indian art leaving aside its legendary history. With its wide straight blade and tulwar style hilt, it is of a type known in south-eastern India as a sukhela and typically associated with the sword of state. Furthermore, the fact that the blade is of Mughal manufacture, and perhaps of an earlier date, renders the weapon all the more worthy of its kingly ownership and this symbolic status. The gold-inlaid orb, a motif found on 16th Century German blades of the same design, is surmounted by the Mughal Imperial Parasol which was reserved only for the highest quality blades; the gold-inlaid Persian inscription to the spine reads shamshir-e malik, 'The sword of the king'. Topping off the regal blade is an exquisite calligraphic hilt, amongst the rarest types from the Indian sub-continent, decorated in the very finest gold-inlaid Arabic, listing invocations to God. For despite ruling a predominantly Hindu state, Tipu Sultan was a Muslim and a pious and doughty defender of the faith, his sword befitting the extremely high ranking Muslim he was. The sword was originally presented to Baird by Colonel Arthur Wellesley (later the 1st Duke of Wellington) who was convinced that the Major General had the best right to it. It is likely that this was a gesture of reconciliation from the Colonel, who had been made Commandant of Seringapatam the day after the storming, an appointment that had mortified Baird. When word of this gift reached the Prize Committee, however, they insisted that the sword be returned to them as it was not Welleseley's to give. This was, in part, due to the fact that General Harris wished to make it an official gift from the Army to Baird. Subsequently, an order was issued from head-quarters for the general and field-officers to assemble in Harris's tent where the sword was officially presented to Baird as a token of the Army's gratitude to him for his courage in leading the final assault on Seringapatam. After all, it had been Baird who had led the storming party into the deadly breach just hours before the city was conquered. 'P' indicates that this is a Premium Lot.

Y THE EDMONSTONE FAMILY DESK SEAL A SILVER MOUNTED TOOTH DESK SEAL, BY ASPREY & CO, LONDON 1930 the tooth with an applied silver collar, with pierced sides, the integral oval seal with an engraved crest above a heraldic shield, engraved to the sides NGAMILAND 15 SEPT 1929Dimensions:Length: 10cm, matrix: 30mm x 25mmNote: Note:CITES STATUS: African Lion Panthera leo - CITES Appendix II - Annex B (Added 02/01/2017) [Only the populations of India are CITES Appendix I (26/11/2019); all other populations are included in Appendix II] - Article 10 Exempt as a worked specimen in a finished state before 3 March 1947This specimen has been carved and fitted inside this desk seal that is clearly hallmarked and dated to 1929 with the location of Ngamiland (a North-West district area of Botswana). The only big cat species large enough for this specimen to have come from is either a lion or a tiger. All species of tiger's population range were on another continent from Ngamiland in the 1920s as were all populations of the Asiatic Lion, therefore this specimen could only have come from an African Lion. Following the CoP17 summit in Johannesburg in 2017 the trade in lion parts including bones, skins, teeth to trophy heads were banned from current wild populations but historic specimens appear to still be subject to the same jurisdiction as other specimens from Appendix II species. An Article 10 Certificate is not required to own or trade in specimens of species listed on Annex B of the CITES regulations.
