Maritime Art, Models & Militaria P

ridham’s is pleased to present our fall Maritime Art, Models & Militaria sale. This sale will feature the lifetime collection of the late Captain Philippe Iskander Georges. Captain Georges was born in Heliopolis, Egypt, in 1937. He attended James Watt Nautical College in Scotland and later Warsash Maritime Academy, Southampton, to attain his master mariner qualification. Captain Georges was at sea for 17 years travelling to every corner of the globe: from the Far East to Scandinavia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. On coming ashore in 1969, he continued his career with Saguenay Shipping in Montreal, and later with Canadian Pacific. Known as Phil, he was a lover of antiques and an avid collector of maritime paintings and memorabilia. Captain Georges was a larger than life personality and passed away in 2020. His collection will include some exceptional ship models, half hulls, paintings, and related memorabilia. He always hoped his collections would advance the awareness and appreciation of maritime life. Along with the Georges collection, Pridham’s is pleased to offer other fine inclusions from like-minded collectors in the marine and military collecting areas.

The term “Auctioneer” means Pridham’s Auctions & Appraisals (“Pridham’s “). | Le terme “Encanteur” signifie Pridham’s Auctions & Appraisals (“Pridham’s”). 2. Each lot is sold “AS IS” and “WHERE IS”. | Chaque item est vendu “TEL QUEL” et “OÙ IL EST”. 3. The descriptions are provided to help move along the process on auction day. No warranty regarding the descriptions, age or condition is made or implied. Additionally, under the Conditions of Sale applicable to the sale of any lot, buyers must satisfy themselves as to each and every aspect of the quality of the lot, including and without limitation, its authorship, attribution, condition, provenance, authenticity, age, suitability and origin. Lots are sold on an ‘as is’ basis, but the actual condition of the lot may not be as good as indicated by its outward appearance. In particular parts may have been replaced or renewed and lots may not be authentic or of satisfactory quality. Any statement in relation to a lot is merely an expression of opinion and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the lot. Please contact us for a condition report. 1-877-533-5877 or info@pridhams.ca. Safe previews are available. | Les descriptions sont inclues pour faciliter le processus le jour de la vente. Aucune garantie en ce qui concerne les descriptions, l’âge et condition est offerte ou implicite. En outre, conformément aux conditions de vente applicables à la vente de tout lot, les soumissionnaires doivent s’assurer de chaque aspect de la qualité du lot, y compris et sans limitation, son auteur/e, son attribution, sa condition, sa provenance, son authenticité et origine. Les lots sont vendus “tels quels”, mais la condition réelle du lot peut ne pas être aussi bonne que celle indiquée par son apparence extérieure. En particulier, des pièces peuvent avoir été remplacées ou restaurées, et les lots peuvent ne pas être authentiques ou de qualité satisfaisante. Toute déclaration relative à un lot est simplement une expression d’opinion et ne devrait pas être invoquée comme une incitation à soumissionner sur le lot. S.V.P. contactez-nous pour un rapport de condition. 1-877-533-5877 ou info@pridhams.ca. Des expositions sécuritaires sont disponibles. 4. The Auctioneer does its very best to point out condition issues. You have to examine each piece carefully; sales will not be set aside on grounds of condition, or of real or imagined misdescription. The condition reports are not prepared by a professional conservator or engineer. | Pridham’s fait de son mieux pour vous informer de la condition d’un objet.
