Ficelle Dramatique,
£200Ficelle Dramatique,
Framed Chromolithograph by T (Theobald Chartran) picturing Victorien Sardou, French dramatist, playwright of the original 'Tosca' and developer, along with Eugene Scribe, of the 'Well Made Play'. Much maligned by 'socially radical' playwrights, his method of composition which focused on concise plotting, compelling narrative and a solid structure shorn of intellectual or philosophical pretensions was nonetheless adapted for use by figures such as George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde and J.B. Priestly. Shaw in particular affected to scorn Sardou's creations as 'Sardoodles' but still condescended to employ a Sardou structure on his breakout success, 'Man and Superman' in 1902.£200 -

Songye Luba mask (B)
£200Songye Luba mask (B)
The people of Songye are mainly known as a farming community, however they also take part in hunting and trading with other neighbouring communities. The distinct Songye style is easily recognisable in the Kifwebe mask by the mass of closely carved lines and bold shapes such as the protruding sagittal crest and X carved mouth. The intertwining of the red, black, and white colours in these masks are said to symbolise the struggle between good (white) and evil (black and red) - the combination of these colours embodying the positive and dangerous force held within the mask. Further, it is believed that the sagittal crest and conical protrusion contain the magical strength of the mask.£200 -

Picasso's series "Mes dessins d'Antibes" is a fantastic study of Homeric, mythological Antibes (Greek Antypolis).

A framed and mounted three-quarter-length mezzotint portrait of Sir Archibald Macdonald, 1st Baronet by by Henry Meyer. Sir Archibald Macdonald, 1st Baronet (13 July 1747 – 18 May 1826) was Scottish-born English lawyer, judge and politician. Born at Armadale Castle on The Isle of Skye, he was sent to England early to keep him away from Jacobite influence. He attended Westminster School from 1760 from where he went on to Christ Church, Oxford, graduating B.A. in 1768 and M.A. in 1772. He was subsequently called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn. Initially a Whig he later joined the King's party and as King's Counsel he was an enthusiastic prosecutor of Radicals, including the pamphleteer and agitator Thomas Paine for his Rights of Man in December 1792. A convivial man, he was nicknamed ‘the Arabian knight' in his lifetime for apparently having 'a thousand and one tales'. He is shown sitting in armchair, in wig and judicial robes; books, quill pen, inkpot by window at left£190 -
