It remains in excellent overall condition.One of the most important and influential artists in the history of jazz, Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong (1901-1971) was known both for his innovative and original trumpet-playing as well as his distinctive baritone. Born and raised in New Orleans, Armstrong first gained notice in the 1920s before joining the Creole Jazz Band with his mentor, "King" Joe Oliver. He then came to the attention of bandleader Fletcher Henderson, who brought Armstrong to New York, where his quickly became recognized for a bevy of hit songs including "Hello, Dolly," "What a Wonderful World," and "When You're Smiling," all of which helped him to cross over from predominantly Black American audiences to recognition as a seminal American artist around the world.This lot will be auctioned on Thursday, December 7th.

THE COTTON CLUBSpecial Italian Poster (55" x 109")Fine+ Folded Orion, 1984While the imagery here for Francis Ford Coppola's The Cotton Club may be simple, the visual effect of both the trumpet and movie title on such a massive size via this special Italian poster makes for one truly memorable display. A folded poster with standard extra light bends running parallel with the horizontal fold lines, scattered creasing, some border edge wear including tiny tears and crimping, plus there are two tears, one only in the left lower border and the other a longer one on the left side center that goes into the black background - both are reinforced on the back with archival tape. But the poster itself has a clean image and is in decent condition.Francis Coppola transported audiences to 1930s Harlem with this crime drama focused on the musicians and dancers at a jazz club, where they mix with members of New York's underworld. Richard Gere stars alongside Gregory Hines, Diane Lane, Bob Hoskins, and Nicolas Cage.This lot will be auctioned on Friday, December 8th.

Collection of Cantonese white metal trumpet-shape specimen vases, some probably Wing Fat, 16cm and smaller, some with glass linings, some weighted bases. Qty: 18 Condition report:There are 11 vases all approximately 14cm in height, but with some height variation. Four of the eleven have glass liners, although one is heavily chipped. They all have weighted bases, although one has fallen out so the weight of that vase (without the weight) is 54.5g, so as an estimate the gross silver weight may be in the region of 600g. The marks to the inner rim of the neck are mostly rubbed. Soe have repairs to the rims, and are distorted a little at the base of the vase.There are four spill vases with pierced cylindrical body raised on three bamboo style feet, with bamboo leave bodies, and two similar shape vases but with a prunus design to the body and feet. The shape of these varies and some no longer stand upright. Two of the bamboo design vases are missing a bamboo leaf at the top of their supports. All have their glass liners although they are quite ill-fitting. Each weighs approx 35g, so approximately 210g in total. Marks partly rubbed. The dragon embossed vase is 68g, more clearly marked, shape generally good. Height 16cm.
