King Charles’ main field army had been completely routed & divided as a result of the Battle of Naseby on 14th June 1645. During the course of three hour battle, the Royalist 12000 strong army which was nominally commanded under Charles I, but effectively commanded by Prince Rupert suffered heavy losses of approximately 1000 men and the Parliamentarian 15000 strong army lead under the command of Sir Thomas Fairfax suffered losses of less than 150 men. After which King Charles travelled through South Wales and the West, attempting to gather his forces together again and bolster allegiance. Whilst travelling from Brecon to Radnorshire, the King dined at Llancaiach Fawr Manor, the seat of Colonel Edward Prichard (c.16101655) on Tuesday 5th August 1645. The following night (Wednesday 6th) the King was welcomed by Sir Henry Williams, Bart. (d.1652) at Gwernyfed (now known as Old Gwernyfed). Charles dined in the banqueting hall at Old Gwernyfed, at the table and using the chair offered for sale in this lot. He is also believed to have left a cryptic message on the hall screen for Prince Rupert, which remains to this day. Sir Henry then guided the King to the ford over the Wye at Glasbury, where he entered Radnorshire and was received by the Lord-Lieutenant. Another tradition suggests Williams accompanied the royal party to Old Radnor. Sir Henry Williams is believed to be represented in the background of the Civil War commemorative window at Hereford Cathedral. The Old Gwernyfed table and chair offered for sale here are refered to and illustrated in ‘A Royal Journey through Breconshire and Radnorshire in 1645’, by Margaret R. Toynbee, published by the Radnorshire Society Transactions, vol. 20, 1950, pages 5-7. See Welsh Furniture, 1250-1950: A Cultural History of Craftmanship and Design, by Richard Bebb, pub.

She believes the work to be 'a contemporary partial copy of a hitherto unknown work by Philips Wouwerman from his late period around 1665'. She was unable to trace the work from which the main group has been copied, but says that the painting 'shows considerable resemblances with Wouwerman's interpretation of the genre "Soldiers before Sutler's Tents"'. Schumacher dates the panel to the last decades of the 17th century, adding, 'the unknown artist was a skilled painter and he indeed was proficient in copying Wouwerman's specific artistic style.'

The depiction of the months and their associated (mostly agricultural) occupations began to appear early in the Medieval period on church facades and interiors as well as in secular settings. They also appeared in illuminated manuscripts and started to become more common in stained glass in the 14th and 15th centuries. There is often a shared imagery amongst such depictions, which presumably came from a common source such as a series of woodblock engravings which may have circulated between the glazing workshops. The V&A has six such 15th century roundels, which it acquired in 1923 from the sale of the contents of Cassiobury Park in Hertfordshire (Museum nos.C.123-128-1923). (2) £100-150

The all-male kecak dance, still performed around Bali today, came about when Western travellers began to observe and influence local traditions.

Spies also fostered a school of painting inspired by his own modernist roots. Western paper and materials was provided and local artists were encouraged to draw and paint, and Spies often acted as an agent selling the pictures to Western tourists. Few of these artists are known by name, and many are known from only one example. In 1939 the community lost their key sponsor when Spies drowned in a prisoner of war boat. (1) £2000-3000

H. Anderson, a[n older] sister of the General’s. The said flag not to be given away but always kept in the family (Aunt Lucy)’, somewhat crumpled and contained in a first-world-war period cardboard parcel post box, plus a copy of ‘Letters of General C. G. Gordon to his Sister M. A.

Lot 361

On page 216 of the ‘Letters’ Gordon writes to his sister Mary Augusta (18221893) on 25 January 1881: ‘Now I want to ask you, Do you cling to the Chinese flags you have? - I do not mean those that have bullet holes. If you do, be honest and say so; if you do not, send them to me. Mrs W — wants them for the Gravesend ragged school; she does not care for them particularly, so mind and be honest’. It is known that General Gordon did give three of these flags to the Gravesend Ragged School (established 1851, demolished 1955) in 1873 via his eldest sister Mary Augusta, who after her brother’s death in 1885, donated three more. What became of the flags afterwards is not known. This flag would not appear to be one of those six flags. Mrs W. H. Anderson (nee Gordon, 1828-1899), who gave the flag to Lucy Gunton (born Jersey, c. 1835), married William Christian Anderson of the Royal Engineers in 1856. A recent additional note of provenance (which wrongly suggests that the flag was found with Gordon’s body at Khartoum) notes that the recipient of the flag from Lucy Gunton, Gordon John Trigg, was named after the General. The flag has remained in family hands by descent thereafter. The Victoria and Albert Museum, London, holds four banners once belonging to General Gordon, together with a letter of provenance by him. The Qing government divided their empire into eight ‘banners’ each required to contribute an army in times of war. These eight armies each fought under their respective banner. The kubuhe sanggiyan gusa is one such banner and would have directly represented the Qing governement, it was therefore imperative to retrieve it from the rebels. (1) £1000-1500

A rare and important album. The first man to open a bus company in Shanghai was the Chinese businessman Dong Xingsheng. His company, the Chinese Motor Bus, ran from 1922 until 1924. The British-owned China General Omnibus started up in October 1924 with twenty second-hand buses from the UK. By the end of 1929, the company owned ninety-six buses running over eleven routes. In April 1934, the company introduced the London trademark double-decker buses that ran between Zhaofeng Park and Hongkou Park. By 1941 the company was running 195 buses including fiftyseven double-deckers. The Japanese took over the business, eventually merging the bus and tram companies in 1958 into the Shanghai Public Transportation Company. (1) £500-800

Conditions of Sale and Business 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account. 3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 19.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission. 4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared. 5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due. 6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.

7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded. 8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer. 9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof. 10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to the Auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions. 11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the best bid, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions. 12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses. 13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots. 14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein. 15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
