BRUMMELL GEORGE: (1778-1840) English Dandy, known as ‘Beau Brummell’. Rare D.S., George Brummell, two pages, 8vo, Caen, 5th July 1834. The manuscript document comprises a set of accounts from January-July 1834 listing various payments including 12 pairs of silk socks, 4 pairs of drawers, various letters to England, cash and the services of a washer woman, totalling £1981.5. At the conclusion of the accounts Brummell has certified the figures, writing, in full, ‘I hereby certify that Armstrong has paid the above mentioned sums for me and they are all right and correct according to the receipts which I have examined’, adding his signature and date beneath. A light band of discoloration appears to the right edge of the second page, only very slightly touching the conclusion of the signature and a few letters of text. Otherwise VG Brummell was a popular figure in Caen, noted for the way he would tiptoe across the cobbles to avoid getting dirt on his boots. Here he struck up a friendship with the grocer and wine merchant Charles Armstrong, who also cashed bills and money orders, and is referred to in the present document.

British Political Medallion, copper d.31mm: NO EXCISE 1733 with foliage, countermarked R. REED / PAKINGTON FOR EVER with cup, bottle and pipes above, and roses either side, with a small countermark RR. This was a privately issued medalet to commemorate the withdrawal of the Excise Bill in the Commons in 1733, anticipating its defeat in the House of Lords due to protests and the burning of political effigies by the nation`s shopkeepers. The bill was meant to introduce inland taxes on tobacco and wine (as we have today). The `Pakington` in question may refer to the Pakington family, an aristocratic family who could have issued the medalets in celebration (aristocrats being consumers of much wine and tobacco). The countermarks are probably late additions to convert the medal into a copper-weight token. VF with a minor edge flaw. Unusual, interesting and most likely very rare. (with research and an old Seaby ticket)

Robert Russell-A Rare Tunbridgeware rosewood and marquetry tripod wine table the top with stylised leaf banding, the hexagonal stem with alternating stylised coral marquetry faces and on three down turned splayed legs, 45cm (1ft 5¾in) diameter, 74cm (2ft 5in) high.* The Tunbridgeware manufacturer Robert Russell was born in Tunbridge Wells in 1812. At first he probably produced Tundridge ware pieces with conventional tesserae mosaic and perspective cube work. At the Great Exhibition of 1851, he exhibited a Tunbridge ware marqueterie inlay lady’s work box fitted with a till. This distinctive style of marquetry can be seen on the border and the supporting column of this wine table. Rather aptly, Russell advertised his work as Tunbridge Wells marquetry.....analogous to the Tunbridge ware, but of a superior character. His technique involved cutting lobe shaped sections of contrasting wood veneers to form a central block, or in the case of this table, to form chains for border decoration, sometimes in combination with conventional mosaic bandings and blocks. In 1863, he included among his clients the Duchess of Kent, Baroness de Spith, Lady Ann Marie Dawson, Lady Mary Rose, Lady Franklin, Lady Cornwallis and Lady Harding. In 1871 his work force consisted of his daughter and unusually four women. Production seems to have continued until his death in 1873. see Brian Austen, Tunbridgeware and Related European Decorative Woodwares, Foulsham 2001, Third Extended edition, page 155-156, for the source of this information.
