Gorringe's Spring Fine Sale - 12th March 2024 starting 10am
This Spring sale has a number of lots with a connection to India. Philip has unearthed a rare copy of the scarce coloured edition of Emily Eden’s major work Portraits of the Princes and Peoples of India, 1844, one of just a handful of copies published in this particular format (Lot 16). From the same family descendants comes her album recording the voyage to India including eighteen watercolour sketches taken on board the naval frigate Jupiter and one of her journals written upon her return to England (Lots 17 & 19). A separate valuation found one of Arthur Devis’s depictions for ‘Arts, manufactures and agriculture of Bengal’ (Lot 201). A rare opportunity as many of these are now in public collections. Elsewhere a particularly large and detailed example of a John Frederick Herring farmyard scene is offered along with a smaller beautifully detailed oil of coach horses (lots 206 & 207). This sale also features a group of items relating to Winston Churchill and the sculptor Oscar Nemon including a maquette for ‘Married Love’, the depiction of Winston & Clem (Lots 5 to 11). Two iconic photographs of Churchill are also on offer as well as two chairs form his London home at 28 Hyde Park Gate. Elsewhere we have the usual offering of a wide range of silver, watches and jewellery along with an array of collectables and curiosities within the other departments.
