A 19th century Chinese filigree white-metal and feather fan: the guards decorated in relief with plats, leaves, berries, buildings and figures; the main feather fan decorated with four figures amongst rockwork, trees, foliage and two figures either side of a bamboo plant. (44 cm wide (opened) x 25cm high) (Some damage commensurate with age)* Condition report: The filigree whitemetal sticks are all in good condition, with no losses or damage. Both guards have a split at the bottom at the joint between the plain and decorated section - both guards have an old whitemetal plate soldered behind the guard to provide reinforcement. One guard however still has some movement in this area and the other guard has a bend to the metal above this joint. One feather is detached from the stick, and the decoration to the feathers is worn throughout, with heavier wear towards both ends of the fan and heavy losses to the guard feathers.

G. T. Lyall executed a flank movement with his platoon and captured it together with prisoners and its guns. Later that day his much weakened platoon was held up by machine guns at the southern end of the wood. Lt. Lyall led forward his few remaining men, then rushed the position single-handed, killing the officer in charge, and took it with its machine guns, capturing numerous prisoners. Advancing, he secured his final objective and still more prisoners. On October 1st, near Blecourt, by skilful disposition of the weak company he then commanded, he overcame another strongly held position, seizing numerous guns and many prisoners. In these two days Lt. Lyall captured 3 officers, 182 other ranks, 26 machine guns and 1 field gun, and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. He showed throughout most conspicuous bravery, high powers of command, and skilful leadership.Lyall also served during WW2 in the Royal Army Ordnance Corps where he attained the rank of Lt Col.Given the award date of his V.C it would date from the post WW1 era, but as no rank is given on the engraved pommel it’s impossible to say exactly when in dates from.He died from a heart attack in 1941 while on active service in Egypt.Approximately 69.7cm length.Condition: generally very good.Some light service wear to the shaft and brass mounts.The compass would seem to operate as it should.

GUERCINO (GIOVANNI FRANCESCO BARBIERI) (ITALIAN 1591-1666) THE VIRGIN AND CHILD WITH AN OWLpen and brown ink, possibly bister 23.2 x 18.5cm; 9 1/2 x 7 1/4in43.5 x 38cm; 17 1/4 x 15in (framed)Property from a Private Collection, LondonProvenance: John Bouverie (d.1750) Anne Bouverie (d.1757; wife of the above) John Hervey (d.1764; brother of the above) Christopher Hervey (d.1786; son of the above) Elizabeth Bouverie (d.1798; aunt of the above) Sir Charles Middleton, later 1st Baron Barham (d.1813; by bequest from the above) Charles Noel, later 1st Earl of Gainsborough (d.1866; grandson of the above) Charles Noel, 3rd Earl of Gainsborough (d.1926; grandson of the above) Hon. Charles and May Noel (a wedding present from the above prior to the First World War ) Colonel Archibald Noel (inherited from the above, his mother) Thence by descent to the present owner (son of the above)Guercino’s drawings are widely celebrated for the virtuosity of their line and the sensitivity in which subject melds with graphic touch. Whether in caricatures, sacred groups, or mythological figures, Guercino imbued them with a remarkable freedom of expression, often concentrating on moments of heightened emotion and drama. Simultaneously, through the agility and unobstructed movement of their line, Guercino’s drawings permit his viewers to trace the artist’s mind at work. A diversity of graphic passages can be recognised in the present sheet - from careful parallel hatching to quick outlines and spontaneous squiggles. While the figure of the Virgin can be compared to that of Salome in Guercino’s painting, Salome receiving the Head of St John the Baptist of 1637 (Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rennes) and its associated red-chalk study (Royal Collection 902789, verso), the present sheet bears greater resemblance, in subject, style, and medium, to the pen and ink drawings of the 1620s, and in particular, The Virgin and Child with St Anne, circa 1620-25 (British Museum, inv. no. Pp,4.62).The finished nature of the present sheet further suggests that it was either intended as an end in itself or, perhaps, a preparatory study for an unexecuted print. In any case, the inclusion of an owl on the right-hand side of the composition is a curious addition. Owls, and bird imagery more generally, began appearing in Guercino’s oeuvre in the early 1620s (see the painting, Memento Mori, ca. 1622-23, in a private collection, as well as the drawings, Group of Figures, with Owl on a Pole, Art Institute, Chicago, 1922.493; A Young Man with an Owl on a Stick, ca. 1630, RISD Museum, Rhode Island, 2015.85; and The Bird-Catcher, ca. 1625-1632, Morgan Library, New York, 1979.8). In the seventeenth century, owls attracted a wide variety of interpretations, from enlightenment to salacious pursuit, all of which Guercino seems to have conveyed across several of his works. In this Virgin and Child, the owl’s presence would certainly bend the interpretation towards the clarity of spiritual vision, particularly considering the animal’s placement on the same level as the Virgin’s sightline. The sharp-eyed creature is, furthermore, an apt, if humorous, inclusion for an artist known to have been cross-eyed (il guercino being the Italian diminutive for guercio, the squinter).Adding to the fascination of this sheet is its exceptional, unbroken provenance traceable to the prestigious Bouverie Collection in the eighteenth century. John Bouverie (ca. 1723–1750) was an intrepid British art collector who amassed an array of important drawings by, among others, Michelangelo, Raphael, Rembrandt and an extensive group by Guercino. The latter may even have been acquired directly from Guercino’s descendants (see, Nicholas Turner, “John Bouverie as a Collector of Drawings” in The Burlington Magazine vol. 136, no. 109, p.91).
