FRANS FRANCKEN THE YOUNGER (FLEMISH 1581-1642) THE TRIUMPH OF NEPTUNE AND AMPHITRITE Oil on panel 63.5 x 89.5cm (25 x 35 in.) In a carved and gilt wood frame Provenance: The Dukes of Croÿ, Brussels, probably since the 17th century and thence by family descent to Karl Rudolf, Duke of Croÿ (1859-1906), who married in 1888, Marie-Ludmilla Princess and Duchess of Arenberg (1870-1953), Chateâu de L'Hermitage, Condé sur L'Escaut, France, until the First World War, and thereafter at Chateâu 'La Solitude', Brussels Thence by descent Sale, Sotheby's, London, Old Master Paintings, 7 July 2005, lot 1, where acquired by the present owner Beneath a tempestuous sky bathed in a silvery glow, sea creatures, mermaids, river gods, and tritons parade to celebrate the union of Neptune and Amphitrite. Amphitrite, a nereid and daughter of Nereus, initially rejected Neptune's marriage proposal and sought to avoid him, finding refuge in the farthest reaches of the ocean. However, Neptune sent dolphins to find her, convincing her to accept his proposal-a mission later honoured with the creation of the star constellation Delphinus. Born in Antwerp in 1581, Frans Francken was a Flemish painter who achieved significant success during his lifetime. The son of the renowned artist Frans Francken the Elder, he began his training in his father's workshop before becoming a master in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke. Francken's versatile talent allowed him to work in various genres, from religious themes to mythological subjects, inspiring artists such as Jan Bruegel the Elder and Peter Paul Rubens.The triumph of Neptune and Amphitrite was a subject treated by the artist frequently, with different variations of the composition; for which see U. Härting, Frans Francken der Jüngere, 1989, pp. 310-11, cat. nos. 279-95. The closer example is a smaller panel sold at Christie's, London, 28 November 1975, lot 34, in which the right-hand side of the composition and the distant landscape differ. In other renditions, Francken usually depicted a gathering of gods on the distant shore, but here, this is replaced by Neptune's entourage in the background.This painting's provenance is notable, likely remaining uninterrupted until its auction at Sotheby's. The Croÿ family, a prominent force in the Southern Netherlands, Burgundy, and France in the 17th century, held high positions under Spanish rule. Their patronage of the arts was equally influential. In the 15th century, they amassed an extraordinary collection of manuscripts, later acquired by Margaret of Austria. Charles III de Croÿ, Duke of Croÿ and Prince of Chimay, built a vast collection of paintings, jewels, and manuscripts, including eleven works attributed to Veronese. The family also had ties to the Arenberg family, renowned art patrons and collectors in the 18th and 19th centuries. Condition Report: Two horizontal lines of wooden supports verso, which correspond with cracks to the panel recto (see online images). The higher of the two cracks approx. 10cm and running from the upper right edge. The second crack runs the width of the panel under the feet of Neptune and Amphitrite. There is some associated overpaint here which is visible in a natural light. There is a small vertical crack (approx. 3cm) running up from the lower right corner, this then extends up the full length of the panel as a lighter crack, but no split. Light craquelure throughout. Rubbing and abrasions to the framing edges. Inspection under UV light reveals retouching to the aforementioned areas of cracking, as we all one or two very light spots of retouching. There is a heavy green varnish which may be obscuring further restoration.Condition Report Disclaimer

Gillman saw five years service in Ireland, promoted to Lieutenant in 1892, before taking on a period of service in India where he enhanced his already fine skills in horsemanship excelling at Polo and Pigsticking. During his service in India, Gillman was to win the Rook Rifle included in our February sale, the rifle butt being inlaid with a silver plaque engraved ‘R. M. Academy Steeplechase 1st Prize, Presented Presented to W. Gillman 9th May 1888'. In November 1898 Gillman returned to Woolwich where a lot of time was passed taking part in Drag Hunting and Polo until war clouds formed and in 1899 and he was sent to South Africa to take part in the second Boer War 1899-1900. Appointed to an Ammunition Column he took part with the French Cavalry Division in the Relief of Kimberley as well as being present at the surrender of Cronje at Paardeburg, the Battle of Driefontein, and the capture of Bloemfontein. Promoted to Captain in 1900, Gillman acted as staff officer in the Aro Expedition of Southern Nigeria being awarded the D.S.O. leading a storming party being ‘the first over a stiff stockade’. Further service in Africa saw Gillman promoted to Major in 1905 and then received Lieutenant Colonel in 1914 having worked with the War Office under the Director of Military Operations.Webb Gillman saw extensive and varied service during the Great War receiving numerous awards and being mentioned ten times in despatches. At the outbreak of WWI in 1914 Gillman assumed command of the 114th Field Battery in the 1st Division taking part in the retreat at Mons, the battle of Marne, and seeing severe fighting during the crossing of Aisne. Gillman acted as special liaison officer between Sir John French and Sir Douglas Haig during the first battle of Ypres rallying troops drifting back after some of the most vicious fighting of the battle. He next saw service in Gallipoli under Sir Charles Monro where he distinguished himself bolstering the confidence of soldiers from Privates upwards earning the complement ‘I don’t know how we should have ever got out of this show without Webb Gillman’ following the successful evacuation of the Dardanelles.1916 saw promotion to brevet colonel and in 1916 Gillman was sent to Mesopotamia acting as liaison officer between the War Office and Mesopotamia Expeditionary Force. He next received Major General and in 1917 he was selected to command the 17th (Indian) Division. Gillman eventually returned home in 1919 and was given command of the Catterick Camp Demobilization centre. His next appointment was that of Commandant of the Royal Military Academy in September 1920 where he stayed until 1924 when he was appointed as Inspector of Royal Field Artillery at the War Office. In 1926 Gillman was permitted to go as guest to the French Government as Military Attache on Marshal Petain’s staff in Morocco during operations against Abd-el-Krim in the Rifi country. He was the only foreign officer to receive this permission. In March 1927 Gillman was sent to Singapore as head of a Commission report on the defences of the new naval base. In October of 1927 he took up duties as Master General of the Ordnance and by 1931 was promoted to General. The case measures 74cm x 20cm. Upon Webb Gilman's death on the 20th April 1933, the rifle was passed through the family eventually being inherited by his grandson John Charles Webb Gillman (b.1948 d.21st November 2014) It is unknown when the rifle was rechambered to .22lr calibre but the current vendor took possession of the rifle from John Gillman as he no longer wished to renew his firearms certificate. The rifle has had an old reblue, this finish is now starting to wear and show signs of age. The bore is mirror bright, with a decent rifling pattern showing minimal signs of wear. There is a very small amount of wobble between barrels and action with the forend removed. The action works correctly with a strong spring. The stock has very minor split in the area between the butt plate and the silver plaque. The upper corners of the forend have small chips and are slightly rounded. The stock has some dents and marks throughout but nothing to defacing. Some screwheads show signs of being worked with an incorrect-size screwdriver. The case shows signs of a hard-working life and is going threadbare in places. The canvas has worn through on the corners. There is a section of the lid that is coming apart at the joints. The inside has some stains and wear to the lining. There is small rip to the label. Some of the partitions are slightly loose but still stuck in place. The book has some light foxing spots, there are stains to the tops of some pages where at paperclip has been in place and then rusted in position.

When examined under UV light there are numerous areas of inpainting. The most extensive areas of inpainting are: the area surrounding the delftware jug, the background in between the man and the severed cow head, along the edges, and on and around the man's face.

There is also a horizontal line running between the length of the work about nine inches from the bottom. It is possible that the work was folded in the past, causing this crack. There is wear to the frame including: small losses, worm holes, and drill holes. The painting has been reinforced within the frame with thirteen pieces of wood, please see photographs of the verso.

DALMORE 12 YEAR OLD 1980S 75CL HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT 40% ABV / 75cl Dalmore have worked hard to position themselves as one of the world's foremost luxury whisky brands. Their elegantly packaged crystal decanters will be familiar to frequent flyers, as they often adorn the high-end display cabinets of duty-free shops in airports around the globe, carrying price tags that suggest they’re targeting those travelling on a 1st class ticket. Of course, a premium brand needs a premium product, and thankfully, Dalmore’s spirit lives up to the hype.They have a complicated distillation process that utilises mismatched stills to produce distillates with different characteristics. These are then vatted together, before being filled into the distillery’s preferred Sherry casks, all under the watchful eye (and discerning nose) of their legendary Master Distiller, Richard Paterson.

Make & Model:Wolseley, Hornet Date of Reg:CDX409C Colour:Green cc:998 Fuel Type:Petrol Mileage:87857 Transmission:manual Summary:This 1965 Cumberland Green and Snowberry White Wolseley Hornet MkII benefitted from a full repaint a few years ago by a previous owner. The engine has also been replaced with a later 998cc unit. The vendor has replaced the clutch slave and master cylinder as well as fitted four brand new tyres and a new battery. The Hornet was registered in May 1965 and is showing 87,857 miles on its odometer. Its last MoT expired in April 2019 after being tested the previous year at an indicated 86,735 miles. However, as an historic vehicle, it no longer requires annual testing. The vendor reports that the Wolsleley runs and drives well and is reliable, although the right front indicator is currently inoperative. Paperwork includes the current and a past V5C, old tax discs, MoTs back to 1996, a large stack of invoices and a write-up from a previous owner detailing the work done during his ownership.
Make & Model:Triumph, Stag Date of Reg:PHJ256K Colour:Yellow cc:3000 Fuel Type:Petrol Mileage:113951 Summary:This Triumph Stag was built in 1971 but seems to have been re-registered in March 1993, perhaps because it had fallen off the DVLA's database. Six registered keepers are recorded on the V5C and the odometer shows 113,951 miles. Its last MoT expired in April 2024 after being tested the previous year at an indicated 113,951 miles. However, as an historic vehicle, the Stag is now MoT-exempt. The vendor tells us that the car has a water leak, which is suspected to be the heater matrix or radiator, so this will need to be resolved. Having not been used for six months, its battery is also no longer holding charge, and the vendor feels that it would benefit from a service as well. The head gasket has been replaced and there's also a heavy duty timing chain, electronic ignition, immobiliser, overdrive gearbox and the right-hand floorpan replaced plus other welding. A new clutch and brake master cylinder has also been fitted. The vendor has owned the car since 2022; prior to that it was stored for eight years. Paperwork with the Stag includes the current and past V5Cs, print-out on online MoT data back to 2006, a large amount of assorted invoices including one for a replacement engine in October 2010 and a replacement overdrive gearbox in October 2011, MoT certificates back to 1997, and a photocopy of the old Passport to Service book stamped up to 48,745 miles in in the 1980s. There's also a Heritage Certificate showing that the car was once New White and photos of a full respray from 2004.
