These items formed part of the collection of the late Peter John Mitchell of the West Midlands.Peter found an interest/ fascination later in life in the collecting of any manner of items and was a regular and well-loved attendee at the local auction houses in and around the West Midlands and sometimes further afield. He had a good eye for detail and an appreciation of quality, coupled with a discernment for the finer things in life, namely fine writing equipment mostly by the prestigious manufacturer Mont Blanc and extending in a very large way to his passion for Royal Crown Derby especially his beloved “Old Imari” pattern 1128 and of course Waterford crystal. As can be seen from the breadth of items in his porcelain collection he enjoyed his chosen fields and was an active buyer, and I am sure he would have approved of the items we curated for his estate in his absence.James Lees

Sir John Fenn (1739-1794), High Sheriff of Norfolk (1790-91)- A George III silver desk seal, London, makers mark SB almost certainly for Susannah Barker, circa 1790, the banded collar above an oval matrix engraved with a coat of arms set against a castle with crest above and inscription below "NORFOLK", all within a collar of office, the matrix 22.1mm wide, 23.3mm high Note- The crests- a dragons head erased argent gorge with a plain collar azure thereon three escallops argent. The arms- argent, on a fess azure three scallops argent, all within a border engrailed azure. The seal is that of Sir John Fenn (1739-1794), as High Sheriff of Norfolk (1790-91). Although Sir John spent many years as a Justice of the Peace before being appointed High Sheriff in 1790, his main interests were antiquarian. A member of the Society of Antiquaries, he wrote their history. More memorably, he acquired the manuscripts of the Paston Letters, a rare exchange of correspondence between members of the mediaeval family of Norfolk wool merchants, still used today to shed light on the everyday life of the times. he published the letters in an annotated edition dedicated to the King. Following this, he was knighted in 1787. It is considered unusual that the arms are contained within a collar of SS, suggesting civic authority and dignity. The castle, however, on which the arms are set, was a convention adopted more widely by High Sheriffs. Interestingly, a silver-mounted lignum vitae desk seal, illustrated by Michael Finlay, Western Writing Implements, 1900, 9.184, not only bears the same inscription and another Norfolk High Sheriff's arms set on a castle but also the same makers mark. Susanna Barker entered her mark as a smallworker in London in 1778. She is known also to have made wine labels and nutmeg graters. She appears to have ceased work from 1793.
