(Military) Officer’s 2nd type badge, silver-gilt; 1914-15 Star; British War and Victory Medals; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; Coronation 1937, mounted as worn, very fine and better (7) £60-£80 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, June 1998. O.B.E. London Gazette 1 January 1946. M.B.E. London Gazette 17 July 1919: ‘For valuable services in H.M.S. Iron Duke, 1st Battle Squadron.’ Stanley Francis Heraud was born in Bristol in November 1891 and entered the Royal Navy as a Boy Artificer in August 1907. An Engine Room Artificer 3rd Class in the battleship Superb by the outbreak of hostilities in August 1914, he removed to the cruiser Achilles in March 1916 and was present at her famous duel with the German raider Leopard on 16 March 1917, in the company of the armed boarding steamer Dundee - after a two hour engagement, including a torpedo hit delivered by the Achilles, the Leopard was sunk with all hands, among them Dundee’s original boarding party. Advanced to Acting Mate, R.N. in May 1917, Heraud served in the Iron Duke from June 1917 until July 1920, in which period he saw action against the Bolsheviks in the Black Sea, and assisted in the ‘wrecking of engines’ of the enemy ships based at Theodosia in the Crimea. For his services he was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire. An article published by Richard C. Witte (a sometime owner of Heraud’s full-sized awards) in the O.M.R.S. Journal gives further details: ‘In November 1919, Mate Heraud was detached, with three hours’ notice, to take over as Chief Engineer of the relatively new Russian battleship Volya which was interned at Izmid, Turkey, in the Sea of Marmora. She had been the Imperator Aleksander III in the Czarist Navy and had been under the German flag at Sebastopol from May 1918 until the end of the War. She had been taken to Izmid by the Royal Navy in April 1919 to keep her out of Bolshevik hands. She was in bad condition. In nine days, however, Heraud got Volya’s machinery in working order so she could be sailed back to Sebastopol - Denekin’s White Army victories made this possible. He was assisted by ratings from Iron Duke and the Russian sailors remaining in Volya. In the passage to Sebastopol, Heraud experienced a great storm and was without sleep for 35 hours, steaming 14 knots and arriving at Sebastopol just before dark. He reported that it was difficult to get through the Straits of Bosphorus on the way. Heraud remained with the Russians for a month as ‘British Engineer to the Russian Admiralty’, instructing the Russian Engineer Officers about Volya. He saved many letters he received complimenting him on the Volya trip, including one from Russian Admiral Nenkoff, Commander-in-Chief.. Between the Wars, Heraud served in Malta Dockyard in the mid-1920s and was Engineer Lieutenant-Commander in the new destroyer Amazon from 1928 to 1931, a ship with advanced and experimental machinery - her first major cruise was 20,000 miles around South America. Further seagoing appointments in the Wallace and Shropshire in the 1930s followed, the latter ship assisting in the rescue of passengers from the stricken Italian liner Ausonia at Alexandria in October 1935. Finally, about the time of the renewal of hostilities in 1939, he came ashore to take up an appointment in Chatham Dockyard, where his speciality was gunnery mounts. He was placed on the Retired List as an Engineer Captain in 1944, but actually remained employed at Chatham until 1947,, ansd was advanced O.B.E. in the 1946 New Year’s Honours’ List. He died in 1962. Note: The recipient’s full-sized medals sold in these rooms in December 2007.

A Second War ‘North Russia convoy operations’ O.B.E., Soviet Order of the Red Star group of six awarded to Chief Engineer Officer J. Mummery, Mercantile Marine, who displayed great courage when his ship was bombed and set on fire by enemy aircraft off the Kola Inlet in July 1943 The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, O.B.E. (Civil) Officer’s 2nd type breast badge, silver-gilt; 1939-45 Star; Atlantic Star; Pacific Star; War Medal 1939-45; Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Order of the Red Star, silver and enamel, the reverse officially numbered ‘364373’, complete with screw-back fitting, all mounted court-style for wear, extremely fine (6) £1,200-£1,600 --- Provenance: Ron Penhall Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, September 2006. O.B.E. London Gazette 29 August 1944. The original recommendation states: ‘The ship has now returned from North Russia after a lengthy stay. She was attacked and heavily bombed by enemy aircraft which resulted in serious damage, and she subsequently caught fire. The ship was laden with timber at the time, and the fire reached such proportions that she had to be beached and flooded. Chief Engineer Officer Mummery ably assisted the Master in fire-fighting operations, the fire was subdued, the vessel refloated and temporarily repaired, thus enabling her return home. Throughout, Chief Engineer Officer Mummery displayed high qualities of courage, resource and seamanship.’ Soviet Order of the Red Star London Gazette 11 April 1944. The original recommendation states: ‘Mr. Mummery served as Chief Engineer Officer in the Llandaff in North Russian waters for a considerable period. He was outstanding when the vessel was set on fire by enemy aircraft. Fire-fighting was continued for three days, but the vessel had to be beached and flooded.’ One of just over 21 such awards to British personnel for the 1939-45 War, six of them to members of the Merchant Navy. James Mummery was born at Goole, Yorkshire in March 1891 and qualified for his Mercantile Marine 2nd class certificate in April 1917, his 1st class certificate in June 1921, and was appointed an Engineer in May 1922. He does not, however, appear to have qualified for any Great War campaign awards. In the 1939-45 War, Mummery was among many Merchant seamen to find themselves “stranded” in the ports of North Russia following the suspension of further convoys in the summer of 1943, in his case aboard the Llandaff. It was a frustrating period that prompted the men to refer to themselves as the “The Forgotten Convoy”, and, more seriously, a period of great danger - for enemy aircraft were constantly on the prowl. So it was on 24 July 1943, when the Llanadaff was bombed 20 miles north-east of Kildin Island off the entrance to the Kola Inlet: ‘Bomb entered after main hatch through top sheer, port side. Vessel’s side blown out, deck set up, mast buckled and apparently extensive damage between decks and possibly No. 4-5 bulkhead. Cargo set on fire. Pipes in engine room and tunnel fractured. Derrick blown overside and cargo winch destroyed. Further report will be furnished when full extent of damage is known’ (Captain’s report refers). Notwithstanding this serious damage, the Llandaff safely reached Loch Ewe in convoy RA. 54B in December 1943. Mummery, whose Soviet Red Star was supplied to the British authorities on 21 March 1944, remained in the Merchant Navy until 1960. Sold with original letters from the Director-General, Ministry of War Transport, notifying the recipient of his award of the O.B.E., dated 28 August 1944; the Foreign Office notifying him that he had been granted permission to wear the Soviet Order of the Red Star, dated 17 April 1944; General Register and Record Office of Shipping and Seaman, Cardiff, communication, dated 19 May 1947, confirming the recipient’s entitlement to the above described campaign awards; and two Russian banknotes; together with a quantity of copied official papers, gazette extracts and other research, including a photographic image of the recipient.

Exquisite silver teapot-samovar, St. Petersburg, early 20th centuryMasters of the First Silver ArtelAn exquisite teapot-samovar, made in the workshops of the First Silver Artel in St. Petersburg at the beginning of the 20th century, is an exceptional example of Russian classicism. This samovar, which was an invariable attribute of table setting, stands out with its complex relief decoration and three-dimensional pattern, reflecting the highest skill of jewelers of that time.The body of the samovar, made in a hemispherical shape, is installed on a rectangular stand resting on legs made in the form of lion`s paws. These elements emphasize the monumentality of the item and its connection with the traditions of European silver art, especially popular in Russia in the first half of the 19th century.The central part is decorated with a relief palmette and spiral decor, giving the samovar a special decorative richness. The low tap, designed in the form of a lion`s head, emphasizes the richness and symbolism of the product. The shoulder of the samovar, smoothly turning into a hinged lid, is also decorated with a geometric pattern, and its top is a stylized pine cone - a popular motif in the decorative arts of that era. Curved side handles, decorated with sculptural decor in the form of lion heads, enhance the overall monumentality of the composition. The samovar embodies the experiments of the masters of the First Silver Artel with forms and motifs inspired by the famous products of English masters of the 19th century, in particular, the works of the great Paul Storr (London, 1771-1844). This item embodies the fusion of Russian and European styles, which was characteristic of the jewelry traditions of the workshop of Julius Rappoport, and later of the First Silver Artel. Their craftsmen created a wide range of items: from small desk items to vases, candelabra and even large formal decorative elements for dining tables, known as surtout de table.Hallmarks: Hallmark of the Moscow District Assay Office with the initials of the manager Ivan Sergeevich Lebedkin (appointed in 1899); Hallmark with an image of a woman`s head in a kokoshnik, facing left, with the initials IL and the hallmark 84, dating from the period 1899-1908; Hallmark of the First Silver Artel (ICA), active in the early 20th century in St. Petersburg.Dimensions: Height 33 cm.
