King George V Silver Jubilee – George Charlton
£6,500King George V Silver Jubilee – George Charlton
A signed, oil on canvas view of the Royal procession along the Embankment during the Silver Jubilee of King George V in 1935. The 1902 State Landau carrying the King and Queen Mary is shown passing between the steps of the City of London School and the River Thames. This stretch of the Thames, originally known as Blackfriars Reach, was renamed King’s Reach in honour of the Sovereign in his Jubilee Year. The form of Joseph Cubitt’s historic Blackfriars Railway Bridge of 1864 (demolished 1985) can just be made out between the road bridge of 1869 and the rail bridge of 1886 by John Wolfe Barry and Henry Marc Brunel. The scholars of the City of London School can be seen waving and craning to catch a glimpse of the Royal couple as the carriage processes from St Pauls Cathedral to Buckingham Palace. The City of London School departed this site at Blackfriars in 1984 and the former school building now houses the British and European headquarters of the Financiers J.P. Morgan.£6,500 -

Plaster statue of Hermes fastening his sandle,
£1,850Plaster statue of Hermes fastening his sandle,
A French Mid-Nineteenth Century copy of the so called Sandal-binder Hermes. The Roman figure is held in the Musée du Louvre in Paris. The statue in the Louvre is a Roman marble copy of an original Greek Bronze by Lysippus. The appearance of the original, which stood in the Thermae of Zeuxippos in Constantinople, was described in detail by Christodoros of Koptos (491-518) : "There was Hermes ... He stood and fastened up the thongs of his winged sandal with his right hand, yearning to rush forth upon his course. His swift right leg was bent at the knee, and on it he rested his left hand, and meanwhile he was turning his face up to heaven, as if he were hearing the commands of his king and father" Three other complete copies of the Sandal-binder Hermes have been discovered or unearthed since Gavin Hamilton recovered the first complete antique figure from the swamp of the Pantello in 1749, thereby establishing it's identity firmly as Hermes and acknowledging it's status as one of the received masterpieces in the canon of antiquity. It appears to have been placed ornamentally in baths and gymnasia.£1,850 -

£900Rare example of a reversed engraving on glass, depicting Caroline of Brunswick, made c1821
Reverse glass printing is a process whereby a print is transferred to a sheet of glass, varnished and coloured to resemble an oil painting.
The Prince of Wales, son of King George III was introduced to his potential bride, Caroline of Brunswick out of need for money as he was in great debt. Caroline famously, short, fat, ugly and never changed her undergarments, and rarely washed. Her body odour was overwhelming.
Caroline was very popular with the London public whilst King George was not. Every day when attending the House of Lords her coach was escorted by the cheering mob. George IV’s Coronation was to be the 29th April 1821 but Caroline was told that she would not be taking part in it. Undaunted Caroline arrived at the door of Westminster Abbey on the day demanding to be admitted, but the doors were slammed in her face.
She died 19 days after her frustrated attempt to get into the Abbey and was buried in Brunswick, and on her coffin was inscribed… ‘CAROLINE THE INJURED QUEEN OF ENGLAND’.

Alderney Street by J. M. Whistler
£850Alderney Street by J. M. Whistler
A mounted black line etching in original frame by James McNeill Whistler printed in black ink on ivory laid paper. First published in the "Gazette des Beaux-Arts," in 1881 it depicts Alderney Street in Pimlico. First state of two. The sparing using of line and sketch-like quality in the image reflects an adherence to the theories of Frances Seymour Hayden, the champion and initiator of the late 19th Century 'Etching Revival', who advocated the use of a "learned omission". According to this theory the fewer lines there were on a plate, "the greater would be the thought and creativity residing in each line". This would later be relevant to the thought of the Impressionist movement. A copy is kept at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.£850 -
