Tom Worton was an unusual racing horse owner, as he was not a member of the elite ruling classes, but a publican of a well known drinking establishment in Walthamstow. As such, Victor Wild and Tom Worton were extremely popular winners with the public, as they bucked convention and ignited the imagination of the masses. The Ascot Royal Hunt Cup always provides one of the greatest spectacles of the Royal Meeting as a maximum field thunders up Ascot's straight mile course for one of the biggest betting races of the season. First run in 1843, originally contested on a right-handed course over 7 furlongs and 166 yards, although the race's distance was shortened to 7 furlongs and 155 yards in 1930, but was then extended to its present length in 1956. It is now run on a straight course on the second day of the Royal meeting, and usually features a large field. It is one of three perpetual trophies at the meeting, along with the Gold Cup and the Queen's Vase, which can be kept permanently by the winning owners.The previous year on October 5th, 1893 Victor Wild won The 'Hurst Park Club Cup' with a prize money of £1,000 and the trophy, sold in these rooms, The Connoisseur's Library Sale, 14 February 2024, lot 627.For the design of his silverware, Hancock engaged the services of some of the finest modellers and sculptors of the 19th century, including Louis Freret, Baron Charles Marochetti, H. McCarthy, Eugene Lamy, Marshall Wood, Raffaele Monti, Henry Hugh Armstead RA, E. T. Parris and Charles Bell Birch ARA.This cup was designed by Charles Bell Birch ARA (1832 - 1893) for Hancocks & Co.The two bas relief scenes are based on incidents from Alfred Lord Tennyson, Idylls of the King, 'Merlin and Vivien''Here when the Queen demanded as by chance'Know ye the stranger woman?' 'Let her be,'Said Lancelot and unhooded casting offThe goodly falcon free; she towered; her bells,Tone under tone, shrilled; and they lifted upTheir eager faces, wondering at the strength,Boldness and royal knighthood of the birdWho pounced her quarry and slew it.'and 'Geraint and Enid''For Arthur on the Whitsuntide beforeHeld court at old Caerleon upon Usk.There on a day, he sitting high in hall,Before him came a forester of Dean,Wet from the woods, with notice of a hartTaller than all his fellows, milky-white,First seen that day: these things he told the King.Then the good King gave order to let blowHis horns for hunting on the morrow morn.And when the King petitioned for his leaveTo see the hunt, allowed it easily.'

A Gujarat silk embroidery India (Gujarat for export to Europe), circa 173083.4 cm long x 91.5 cm wideProvenance: Charles Holme, founder of The Studio magazine. Holme travelled extensively with his wife, collecting a range of decorative arts on route. He was a friend of Arthur Liberty, who was also a fellow traveller.Literature: John Irwin and Margaret Hall, Indian Embroideries, 1973.A panel of fine cotton twill tamboured with polychrome silks in chain stitch with a floral meander of stylised fruits, flowers and leaves on delicate trailing vines. The fresh singing colours in shades of red, pink, rose, blue, yellow and green and the exquisitely poised embroidery, combine to impart a superlative lightness to the decoration, the motifs seemingly to float elegantly against the luminous white ground. The fruits and flowers are embroidered with variety and fantasy in equal measure and each element is composed with a sure sense of colour: curling leaves of yellow and green with a red stem, fantastic composite fruits and flowers with multi-coloured berries and petals. A total of nine colours are used.This textile is part of a group called “Trade Embroideries”, based on European chintz patterns and designed solely for export. The most important group of these embroideries that can be traced back to a known chintz pattern are known as the “Ashburnham House” group, several panels of which are held by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, these trade embroideries, also known as “Cambay embroideries” were, like chintz, all the rage in fashionable Europe where they were much coveted. Cambay was the main centre of production, hence the term, but fine embroidery in the Cambay style was also carried out in other Gujarat centres like Patan and later Surat. Condition Report: The panel loosely stitched onto a cotton covered wood frame; with one area of brownish staining to mid-section in a line; areas where fabric is puckered; losses to silk thread; some holes around, areas where packing cream thread is pulling; some tearing to bottom left corner

'Old Cornish Crosses' Printers blocks used in the seminal work by Arthur G. Langdon. Over seventy steel and wood printer blocks, in varying sizes with the smallest measuring 7mm x 16mm and the tallest measuring 230mm x 130mm, no condition issues (although none have been rubbed by the cataloguer).First published in 1896 by Joseph Pollard of Truro, Langdon took his influence from J. T. Blight's 'Ancient Crosses and Antiquities of Cornwall', but found ' it was necessary to re-draw all the ornate examples, since, practically, none of the ornament upon them had been shown'. By using a combination of sketching and rubbing it was 'then ready to be photographed to the required scale'. These fascinating artefacts, invariably inverted, almost retain the same grandeur as their original subjects.
