Small engraved silver snuff box. Novo-Hispanic workshop. Mexico, Guanajuato. Dated 1768.5.8 x 7.5 x 1.5 cm.Dated and inscribed: "Guanaxuato. Aº 1768."Inside the lid, within a border, the name of the owner is engraved: "Soi de mi Señor Joseph de Areche" (I belong to my Lord Joseph de Areche.) In the centre, two eagles face each other.Thanks to the details provided by this box—name, year, and place—it can be confirmed with certainty that it belonged to José Antonio de Areche y Sornoza (Balmaseda, Vizcaya, 1728 – Bilbao, 1798), who was "Oidor" (judge) of Manila, Criminal Prosecutor of Mexico, Civil Prosecutor of Mexico, General Inspector of Peru, and a robed minister of the Council of the Indies.It is interesting to read about his career in the biographical reference from the Royal Academy of History:"Graduating with a degree and doctorate in Canon Law in 1756, he was a member of the Academia de Profesores of Santa María de Regla. Since 1752, he held a scholarship at the Colegio de Santa Catalina Mártir de los Verdes, where he later became rector.In 1759, Areche applied for the chair of Canon Law at Alcalá and was a substitute for others.Charles III appointed Areche to replace Pedro Calderón Enríquez as Oidor of the Audiencia of Manila by consultation on 5 June and by decree on 14 July 1765, a position he never occupied. He requested a loan of 5,390 pesos in Cádiz in 1767 (which had not yet been repaid twenty years later, according to his creditors). Areche departed for Manila with a licence on 14 April 1766. However, while passing through Mexico, Areche was appointed by the viceroy to fill the vacant position of Criminal Prosecutor of the Audiencia of Mexico, despite the court’s protests over the legality of the appointment. Areche’s work quickly earned him praise, and a year later, the ministers petitioned the King to make the appointment permanent, which was granted on 13 November 1767. (This snuff box is dated one year later.) Areche was promoted to the Civil Prosecutor's office on 17 January 1774, and impressed José de Gálvez during his visit to Mexico.While serving as Prosecutor, Areche supported the Court of the Acordada, seeking funds to improve the building.He was reported twice for possessing prohibited books, including Diderot’s Encyclopaedia and Voltaire's Thoughts. Notable for his severe and biting opinion of the Mexican population, he supported the military reforms of the General Inspector. When Gálvez became Secretary of State for the Indies in 1776, he appointed Areche General Inspector of the Kingdom of Peru on 25 March 1776, and simultaneously made him a member of the Council of the Indies so that he could "perform his duties with more dignity and authority". Shortly thereafter, Areche was also granted a pensioned knighthood in the Order of Charles III.Areche undertook a stormy and controversial inspection in Peru during the late 1770s and early 1780s, clashing with nearly all authorities there. He arrived to examine both the financial and judicial bureaucracies, root out corruption, investigate forced distribution, consider implementing a system of intendants, and reform the method of tax collection. Areche arrived in Lima on 14 June 1777. His disputes, first with Viceroy Manuel de Guirior and then with Viceroy Agustín Jáuregui, led to the replacement of both. With Jáuregui’s appointment in 1780, Areche was given the responsibility of Superintendent for Financial and Economic Affairs. His efforts to reform the Court of Audits and the treasury system were unsuccessful. Jorge Escobedo Ocaña y Alarcón restored the previous system of royal treasuries. Areche’s attempts to reform municipal finances in Lima also failed.His introduction of a “military contribution” or tax on free people of colour, although supposedly voluntary, faced opposition from those affected.He was ordered to return to Spain in 1781.

A QUEEN ELIZABETH II CORONATION CHAIR, 1953, produced by W. Hands & Son Ltd., numbered 375, covered with blue velvet bearing the monogram ER II beneath a crown, stamped and branded to the underside, one rail stamped "W.T" beneath a crown, 85cm high x 49.5cm x 43cm deepProvenance: Lady Nellie Holmes (1890-1974) and thence by descent.Born Nellie Florence Marshall in Barnsley, Yorkshire, in 1890, she married Horace Holmes in 1912. During the nearly 60 years of their marriage Nellie and Horace were active in the Salvation Army, both rising to the rank of general. She died in Bridlington, Yorkshire, in 1974. Lady Nellie Holmes attended The Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II along with her husband Sir Horace Holmes,  in seat numbers 375 and 31 respectively. Sir Horace Holmes's chair is offered in the previous lot (259).The Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was held on 2nd June 1953 at Westminster Abbey.The ceremony was a very large celebration with several thousand distinguished guests in attendance. The numbers of guests were fewer than George VI coronation, due to the reduction in seating behind the alter. Planning for such an important event took over 12 months. The design of the chairs and stools produced for the ceremony was taken from those created for the King George VI Coronation in 1937. The Ministry of Works were responsible for commissioning all furnishings for the coronation. As had been the case for George VI coronation furniture manufacturers based in High Wycombe, the centre of English chair making during this period, produced all of the chairs and stools. A range of companies manufactured the furniture including; B. North & Sons; W. Hands & Sons; Thomas Glenister Ltd.; Castle Bros. (all firms in High Wycombe); Maple & Co., and Waring & Gillow. The blue velvet coverings were made at Listers Mills in Bradford, Yorkshire.
