For serious collectors of historic silver a late Victorian presentation shield fits the bill in a number of ways. It was designed by King Edward VII when he was still Prince of Wales

& he commissioned renowned Edinburgh silversmith Thomas Smith to produce it. It marks the Princes Honorary Presidency of The Smithfield Club of Londons famous

Smithfield Livestock Market & was presented to Sir John Gilmour Bart. who had been made a Baronet by Queen Victoria in her 1897 Jubilee year. The quality of workmanship

Is very high & measuring 19 ¾” x 11 ¾” it weighs 1665 grammes in all. The guide for this spectacular piece is £4750/ 5250.

Also in the silver section representing the illustrious Bateman family is a William Bateman silver spirit kettle on stand of unusual pumpkin shape with acanthus details.

It carries his London hallmarks for 1822. The overall height is 13” & weighing a substantial 1515 grammes it has an estimate of £2250/2400.

Franz Zaver Bergman was born in Vienna Austria in 1861. He inherited a foundry business from his father & became famous for his cold painted bronze figures.

The model number 2365 of a Jay bird has a factory stamp on the underside of the tail. It is 6 ¾” high by 11” long as has a reasonable guide of £150/250.

Troika was an Art pottery in St. Ives & Newlyn in Cornwall which operated from 1962- 1983. The sculptural style of Troika pieces soon gained market recognition,

with the London stores Heals & Libertys stocking their goods. Alison Brigden was head decorator from 1981-1983 & 2 vases with her monogram are priced at

£60/100 each & are 3 /2” & 4” h.

The McIntosh firm in Kirkaldy Scotland was one of the foremost makers of contemporary furniture in Britain in the 1960’s & 70’s. Drawing influence from the popular

Scandinavian designers of the time simple yet elegant pieces with clean lines were to the fore. A late 1960’s teak sideboard has 2 pairs of cupboard doors

Flanking 4 drawers on raised legs. It stands 84” wide & 30” high & bids of £200/300 are anticipated.

The overall height is 63” & bids in the region of £250/350 are anticipated.

With the easing of lockdown we are happy to welcome people to view in the saleroom, but will be keeping our booking system with timed slots so that you can view in comfort without feeling crowded. On entering the saleroom we do still require face covering & fresh gloves due to the multiple handling of the lots- we would rather stick to the safest methods possible for the sake of both customers & staff alike.

We will be continuing with the timed auctions for the foreseeable future- it is impossible to predict when “normal” auctions could safely resume.
