The medallions come mounted to a wooden display above a plaque engraved "Limited Edition Bronze Star Wars Medallions." The wood and medallions exhibit minor wear from handling. Dimensions: 14" x 14" x 7" (35.75 cm x 35.75 cm x 18 cm)Additional Provenance: Noble Studio Certificate of AuthenticityFor the last four decades, William Plumb has been at the forefront of Star Wars and science fiction original art collecting. He was a pioneer in searching for artwork for his collection and began contacting artists to inquire about their works in the mid 1980s. Over time he developed personal relationships with many renowned artists including Ralph McQuarrie, Drew Struzan, Lawrence Noble, and Dave Dorman. In 1986, Plumb organized the "Space Fantasy & Reality Art Expo" at the Maturango Museum in Ridgecrest, California, to benefit the handicapped. The event was supported by contributions from Plumb's artist friends and even Lucasfilm - all of whom loaned materials to Plumb for the display.It was through these personal relationships that Plumb acquired many of the finest pieces in his collection. Throughout the years, Plumb organized or appeared at countless other events and shows, where he proudly displayed his collection and discussed his passion for Star Wars original art with both artists and fans. In 1996, Plumb hosted a panel at San Diego Comic Con on collecting Star Wars artwork specifically. In 2001, he and a small group of fellow collectors commissioned Lawrence Noble to produce the now-famous "Bronze Yoda." Plumb's bronze Yoda statue was perennially displayed at The California State Fair for fans to see and enjoy.Propstore is pleased and honored to offer these fantastic lots from Plumb's collection, including Noble's matching number Artist Proofs of the bronze Yoda and Darth Vader statues, sketches and paintings from McQuarrie, Struzan, Noble, Dorman, Kazu Sano, Tim Hildebrandt, John Gampert, Ken Barr, Vincent Di Fate, and many more.This lot is offered at a $100 starting bid with no reserve.Bidding for this lot will end on Thursday, March 14th.

* Bookplates. A collection of 46 bookplates engraved by John Augustus Charles Harrison (1872-1955), seventeen being on large paper and three bearing remarques and two signed in pencil by the artist, mostly armorial bookplates, including for the 8th Duke of Northumberland (seal armorials from 1919, two sizes), Thomas Trappes-Lomax, Lord & Lady Lee of Fareham, Ian Mackenzie, and Baron van Eetvelde, but sometimes with important pictorial elements, such as for Colman, Kruse, Arthur Shephard, and Thairlwall; owners of fully pictorial plates include newspaper magnate Alfred Harmsworth (WPB 1903), Ralph Cator, Maud King, Reginald Pontifex, and Herbert Wood, plus the engraver's own Garden of Eden pictorial ex-libris of 1896, and his last bookplate (a seal in black and in sepia dating from 1954 for his second son, Herbert), the majority in near mint condition with only half a dozen showing any foxing or signs of handling (and one folded), a few smaller ones hinged on to mounts but largely loose and all contained in a plastic folder, together with a copy of Brian North Lee's J.A.C. Harrison: Artist & Engraver (1983), with a biography and checklist of all of Harrison's bookplates, original printed wrappers, 4to, VGQTY: (2)NOTE:The collection comes from Harrison's archive. Whether armorial or pictorial, Harrison's ex-libris display the skill of a master copper-engraver. His work spanned six decades and resulted in the creation of some 350 bookplates. After training in Birmingham, Harrison was employed in 1891 by Waterlows where he worked for eight years as an ornamental engraver, then turning freelance before producing many stamps and banknotes while again working for Waterlows. From 1896 ex-libris were commissioned from him through London booksellers J. & E. Bumpus and bore the initials of their shop manager WPB. In 1908 Harrison severed the connection, partly out of frustration that his work was discredited. Other bookplates originated via Truslove & Hanson or by direct contact with the owners.

A DEEPLY-PIERCED AND HOLLOWED SCHOLAR'S ROCKProbably Qing DynastyAttractively and dramatically created to simulate a natural Lake Tai boulder as a stimulus to scholarly activity, the well-patinated surface with a multitude of pierced apertures, wood stand.

Chait Galleries，紐約，2003年5月9日歐洲私人收藏Hollowed and pierced rocks were highly regarded by the scholarly-elite in China because they recalled high mountains. The high peaks and ability to produce water, the life giving element, from the clouds swirling around them, were seen as providing the closest connection with heaven. Images of hermits within mountains appear to have emerged in early China in connection with times of political turmoil, such as the Six Dynasties (AD 420-589). At later times, however, these images became increasingly associated with the scholarly elites and their growing interest of disconnecting from the world of contemporary affairs to find solace in nature, where they could forge their identity as poets, painters and calligraphers.

During this time, he realised the futility of such self-punishment and eventually attained enlightenment through meditation, balance and moderation. This representation of the Buddha became especially popular in China during the Yuan dynasty and continued into the Ming and Qing periods. These representations were associated with the Chan school of Buddhism, which encouraged more individualistic paths to enlightenment.

Ralph Hurst (American, 1918-2003), 'Goose', onyx, signed 'Ralph Hurst' and numbered '9282', on a revolving marble plinth, 31cm wide 15cm deep 21.5cm high Ralph Hurst was born in Decatur, Indiana, USA, and attended Indiana University. In 1953, he moved to Miami, Florida, where he was discovered and lured to Florida State University to become a member of the art faculty for twenty-seven years. Professor Emeritus Hurst fondly remembered his teaching experience in ceramics, constructive design, woodworking, synthetics, supervising art education majors and teaching elementary art education teachers on campus, as well as several years of in-service art classes to teachers in kindergarten and elementary classes in Dade, Palm Beach and Escambia counties. A highlight of his Florida State University career was receiving three faculty grants, one of which provided the opportunity to have a studio in Florence, Italy, carving in alabaster and marble. In 2002, Florida State University honoured Hurst with a retrospective in the Museum of Fine Arts, showing examples of his award-winning works in wood, marble, alabaster, bronze, steatite, ceramics, paint, and synthetics. Considered preeminent amongst sculptors in the US, and best known for his elegant and sensuous alabaster carvings of figures and birds, Hurst's strength as a sculptor was the strong repetition of rhythmic carving and graceful lines reminiscent of the classics. Hurst was quoted as saying 'In the hours of creativity, when I engage in shaping boulders into form and the form becomes alive and a thing of beauty, my spirit soars'. Condition ReportSome minor scuffing and scratches to the body of the goose. Some spotting along the back and tails. The plinth is mounted on a revolving plinth - to allow the sculpture to be rotated.

An original wand as seen used by Daniel Radcliffe as "Harry Potter" in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (Warner Bros. Pictures, 2010). This wand is composed of a resin material that has been hand-painted with an oil-based paint to simulate wood grain. The handle of the wand is highly detailed and textured, likely used in close-up shots. This type of wand can be seen during an intense battle between Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) and Harry while he is knocked unconscious in flight on Hagrid's motorcycle. Harry Potter uses this type of wand until it is broken when both he and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) are attacked by Lord Voldemort's snake Nagini. Hermione's use of a blasting curse backfires and causes the wand to break. Minor paint loss from use during production is present throughout the wand. Includes a DVD of the film. 1 x 14.25 inches

An original wand prop as seen used by Daniel Thewlis as "Remus Lupin" in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 (Warner Bros. Pictures, 2010 - 2011). This wand prop is composed of resin that has been hand-painted to simulate wood grain. The wand is completed with oil-based paint. Near the base of the handle is a gold-tone painted ring.Professor Lupin would use this type of wand throughout both films, most notably towards the beginning of Deathly Hallows - Part 1, when members of the Order of the Phoenix are attacked by a group of Death Eaters and Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) as they escort Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) to safety, and during the Battle of Hogwarts, where he and his wife, Nymphadora Tonks (Natalia Tena), lost their lives during battle. Minor paint loss from use during production is present throughout the wand. Includes a DVD of the film. 13 x 1.25 inches

* Bookplates. A collection of 46 bookplates engraved by John Augustus Charles Harrison (1872-1955), seventeen being on large paper and three bearing remarques and two signed in pencil by the artist, mostly armorial bookplates, including for the 8th Duke of Northumberland (seal armorials from 1919, two sizes), Thomas Trappes-Lomax, Lord & Lady Lee of Fareham, Ian Mackenzie, and Baron van Eetvelde, but sometimes with important pictorial elements, such as for Colman, Kruse, Arthur Shephard, and Thairlwall; owners of fully pictorial plates include newspaper magnate Alfred Harmsworth (WPB 1903), Ralph Cator, Maud King, Reginald Pontifex, and Herbert Wood, plus the engraver's own Garden of Eden pictorial ex-libris of 1896, and his last bookplate (a seal in black and in sepia dating from 1954 for his second son, Herbert), the majority in near mint condition with only half a dozen showing any foxing or signs of handling (and one folded), a few smaller ones hinged on to mounts but largely loose and all contained in a plastic folder, together with a copy of Brian North Lee's J.A.C. Harrison: Artist & Engraver (1983), with a biography and checklist of all of Harrison's bookplates, original printed wrappers, 4to, VGQTY: (2)NOTE:The collection comes from Harrison's archive. Whether armorial or pictorial, Harrison's ex-libris display the skill of a master copper-engraver. His work spanned six decades and resulted in the creation of some 350 bookplates. After training in Birmingham, Harrison was employed in 1891 by Waterlows where he worked for eight years as an ornamental engraver, then turning freelance before producing many stamps and banknotes while again working for Waterlows. From 1896 ex-libris were commissioned from him through London booksellers J. & E. Bumpus and bore the initials of their shop manager WPB. In 1908 Harrison severed the connection, partly out of frustration that his work was discredited. Other bookplates originated via Truslove & Hanson or by direct contact with the owners.
