The trophy for the 1864 Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot: in the form of a large silver shallow dish & cover centrepiece, hallmarked London, 1863, maker's mark of John Samuel Hunt for Hunt & Roskell, inscribed on foot rim HUNT & ROSKELL LATE STORR & MORTIMER 2327, designed as a shallow dish and cover on an elegant stepped stem and base, the lid surmounted by models of stags, all on a stepped ebonised plinth with two friezes of stags and deer in raised relief in between Queen Victoria's royal coat of arms, the base with two sculptural still lifes of a jockey's cap, saddle, stirrups and whip resting on laurel, and with two plaques inscribed ASCOT, 1864, WON BY, MR. LONGFIELD'S GEM OF THE SEA, 4 YEARS OLD, CARRYING 7ST. 10LB., overall height of trophy when on plinth, 87.5cm., 34 1/2in., diameter of dish 39cm., 15 1/4in. Mr Longfield's Gem of the Sea caused an upset in the 1864 Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot by winning at odds of 40 to 1 under a ride from Harry Grimshaw. He beat 33 other runners and survived an objection on the grounds of crossing. The Royal Hunt Cup was first contested in 1843 and remains one of the highlights and great gambling races of the Royal meeting. The design of this trophy is a direct reference to the Royal Hunt at Windsor Park, from which the famous handicap at Royal Ascot derived its name. This also explains the presence of the Royal Coat of Arms engraved on the trophy. Stag were hunted by the Royal Buckhounds. It is typical of the high Victoriana offered as trophies on the racecourse at this period, particularly for the major races at Royal Ascot, Goodwood and the Doncaster St Leger meeting. The trophy was valued in the Racing Calendar at 200 sovs.
The trophy for the 1881 Chesterfield Cup at Goodwood: in the form of a Victorian silver sculptural group by Hunt & Roskell titled 'Sir Roger de Coverley and the Gypsies, Spectator,' hallmarked London, 1881, modelled with Sir Roger dismounted from his horse and having his palm read by the older of two gypsy women, in front of two dogs besides a suspended cauldron, all on a naturalistic base with a title plaque, on a large ebonised plinth set with a plaque inscribed GOODWOOD, 1881, with the original oak fitted carrying case bearing a printed paper label for Hunt & Roskell/Storr & Mortimer, with key, the group 37cm., 14 1/2in. high, 47cm., 18 1/2in. long and 34cm., 13 1/2in. wide. Sir Roger de Coverley was the name of a character by Addison in The Spectator published in 1711. An English squire of Queen Anne's reign, Sir Roger exemplified the values of an old country gentleman, and was portrayed as lovable but somewhat ridiculous ("rather beloved than esteemed," to quote from the text), and making his Tory politics seem harmless but silly. He is said to be the grandson of the man who invented the Coverley, an English and Scottish country dance with its steps reminiscent of a hunted fox going in an out of cover. The modelling of this sculptural group is based on Sir Roger's essay XVII in The Spectator when Sir Roger whilst riding out with a friend encounters two gypsy women, where upon his palm is read and the bachelor told that "... he is dearer to someone than he thinks." This same literary incident had earlier inspired the artist Charles Robert Leslie R.A. (1794-1859), born in London to an American family from Maryland, who exhibited a picture with this subject to kind reviews in 1829. Additionally, a similar group to the present sculpture is described in the 1851 Great Exhibition catalogue listed under 111 of the works in precious metals section designed and manufactured by Joseph Angell of the Strand. Hunt & Roskell's trophy was presented as the prize for the 1881 running of the Chesterfield Cup (Handicap) at the main Goodwood July festival meeting and was won Mr Henry Bragg's four-year-old colt Victor Emanuel ridden by John Osborne. The trophy was valued at 300 sovs. in the Racing Calendar and this was the prize for the victory, there were no cash winnings. It is typical of the high Victoriana offered as trophies on the racecourse at this period, particularly for the major races at Royal Ascot, Goodwood and the Doncaster St Leger meeting. Nearly always a horse forms part of the design but very often not in any sporting context. Literary inspiration, as is the case here, was often a favourite choice of designers. The winner of the race was Victor Emanuel, a son of the stallion Albert Victor who had finished second in both the Derby and St Leger but was the winner of many good races including the Middle Park Stakes, the Ascot Gold Vase and the Great Ebor Handicap. Victor Emanuel carried 8st. 5lb. and won the race by a length at odds of 100 to 6. PROVENANCE: Mr Henry Bragg, the winning racehorse owner of the 1881 Chesterfield Cup, Goodwood, and thence by family descent.
