North African Maghribi Manuscript Leaf Gold Illumination, c. 14-15th Century North African, c. 14-15th century Print: Height 39cm, width 31cm Frame: Height 73cm, width 62cm, depth 4cm This Qur’anic manuscript leaf originates from North Africa and is written in the characteristic Maghribi script, recognisable through its rounded contours and extended horizontal profiles. Workshops across the western Islamic world developed this calligraphic style, creating manuscripts where geometry and devotional clarity worked in harmony. The present leaf originates from that tradition, reflecting a script that was developed and refined over many generations of scribes. The parchment carries black ink text with red diacritics, punctuated by gold and polychrome rosettes that divide the verses. Along the right margin, larger teardrop motifs enriched with blue, white, and gold create a sense of both structure and ornamentation. These features are typical for Qur’anic manuscripts produced in North Africa in the late medieval period, when symmetrical and elaborately illuminated pages became the hallmark of regional craftsmanship. Set within a giltwood frame and layered mount, the leaf’s colours gain a striking clarity, making the piece even more impressive. Its craftsmanship and historical resonance give it a natural place within any serious collection of Islamic manuscript...

Pair of 19th century British equestrian oil paintings British, 19th Century Boards: Height 25cm, width 32cm Frames: Height 35cm, width 42cm, depth 4cm This attractive pair of 19th-century oil paintings beautifully captures the elegance and charm of Victorian sporting art. Rendered with fine detail and vibrant hues, the paintings are enhanced by their original wooden frames and equal dimensions, making them ideal for display as a complementary set. Each artwork features a 19th-century racehorse alongside its jockey, portrayed with striking use of colour and a keen eye for character. In the first composition, a chestnut horse is shown being led across an open landscape by a gentleman in stylish rural dress, likely the owner. The jockey, seated confidently atop the animal, wears vivid blue silks. The lower right corner bears a faint signature, and the reverse of the canvas includes indistinct handwritten text, presumably of the horse’s name. The second painting shows another similarly hued racehorse, this time in profile, with its jockey dressed in bold yellow silks and a burgundy riding cap. The back of this canvas is clearly marked with the name ‘Red Robin’. Rich in colour and full of period charm, this matched pair of antique equestrian paintings would appeal to collectors of horse racing...

Early 20th century English oil painting of a chapel by Frank Moss Bennett English, 1918 Canvas: Height 35cm, width 25cm Frame: Height 57cm, width 47cm, depth 6cm This atmospheric oil on canvas by noted English painter Frank Moss Bennett (1874–1952) captures the quiet beauty of the Martyn Chapel within St Mary’s Church, Puddletown, Dorset. Known for his affinity for architectural subjects and historical scenes, Bennett presents here a masterful interpretation of medieval ecclesiastical design. Executed in November 1918, the painting demonstrates Bennett’s refined technique and keen eye for architectural accuracy. His skill in manipulating colour and light is evident throughout the work, particularly in the vivid portrayal of the chapel’s stained-glass window. Multicoloured light dances across the aged stonework, adding warmth and depth to the sacred interior. St Mary’s Church, originally built during the Norman period, retains many 12th century features alongside elements from later restorations. Bennett was deeply inspired by Dorset’s heritage buildings and natural scenery, and this location featured frequently in his body of work. The canvas is presented in a richly carved giltwood frame. It is signed and dated ‘FMB / Nov 1918’ at the lower right and inscribed on the reverse with the title ‘The Martyn Chapel, St. Mary’s, Puddletown’. An artist’s biography is also affixed to the back. This fine example of early 20th century British painting...
