Ann Carrington Tiddarren, 2024 Beads, brooches, and necklaces on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Ann Carrington is part magpie, part alchemist; working in the folk tradition, she creates pieces that take extraordinary amounts of time to complete. Some of the most collectable pieces she has created are part of her Pearly Queens series with coloured buttons sewn onto a crimson, or black background to emulate the 1st Class Royal Mail stamp. Carrington holds an official license from Royal Mail to produce stamp artworks featuring the Queen. Carrington was commissioned to make 'The Royal Jubilee Banner' for the Queen in celebration of her Diamond Jubilee. The banner hung from the stern of the Royal Barge 'The Spirit of Chartwell' as it made its journey up the River Thames on the Diamond Jubilee procession in the summer of 2012. Jacob Rothschild purchased the first Pearly Queen which now forms part of the Rothschild collection and was recently shown alongside Lucien Freud's famous portrait of the Queen at his exhibition 'Power and Portraiture'. The Queen also commissioned one (in red and gold) to accompany the banner made for her Diamond Jubilee. Collectors of Carrington's work include Elton John, Paul Smith and Lulu Guinness. The United Nations invited Carrington to help raise awareness of current issues through her artwork in 2010, her first piece for The UN was presented at their Human Trafficking conference in Luxor, Egypt. August 2016 saw a large retrospective exhibition of Carrington's work open at the Royal College of Art, London. The centrepiece of the exhibition, Devil's Trumpet, a floral sculpture crafted from cutlery, was acquired by the V&A for their collection and is on permanent display in the Silver Gallery.

A particularly fine example of Alexander Davison’s Medal for Trafalgar 1805 Alexander Davison’s Medal for Trafalgar 1805, pewter with copper rim and integral suspension rings as issued, nearly extremely fine and rare thus £2,000-£3,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- It has long been stated that the Davison’s Trafalgar medal was given exclusively to the surviving crew of H.M.S. Victory, which would suggest a possible striking and issuance of some 600-700 medals. Such a high number is in stark contrast to the seemingly low survival rate for these medals which might indicate a lower number of medals having been struck. Recent and ongoing research by Arthur Satterley and Sim Comfort has resulted in an article in press for future publication. Amongst other things they have sourced the letter of John Brown, preserved at The Caird Library, National Maritime Museum, London, written on board “Victory, Chatham, December 18th, 1805”. In it Brown writes: “There is three hundred of us Pickt out to go to Lord Nelson Funral. We are to wear blue Jackets white Trowsers and a black scarf round our arms and hats besides gold medal (sic) for the battle of Trafalgar Valued £7 1s. round our necks. That I shall take care of until I take it home to Shew it to you.” This might suggest that approximately 300 medals were struck and given to the 300 ‘Pickt’ men of H.M.S. Victory who took part in the funeral proceedings on 9th January 1806. It is also becoming increasingly apparent that the medal was both designed and struck by Thomas Halliday at his own expense, rather than Davison. Halliday, whose initials appear on the medal [H.F - Halliday Fecit], is recorded as being a quiet fellow who didn't trumpet, kept himself to himself, but nevertheless had a successful long term business in Birmingham from c.1803 into the 1830s.
