A medieval English alabaster statue, possibly dating as far back as the late 14th / early 15th century, mounted on one of our exclusive large display plinths. Well weathered over the centuries, this 600-year-old statue depicts a medieval cloaked figure, possibly a monk, offering a glimpse into English architecture and sculpture of the Middle Ages. This sculpture is possibly made from Nottingham alabaster. During the 14th and 15th centuries, Nottingham was the centre of alabaster carving and painting. Alabaster works were mostly made as small alabaster models with religious themes. During the 16th century Reformation, many alabaster carvings were destroyed under King Henry VIII's rule, making any surviving examples even more significant. Provenance From the collection of Peter Hone (b. 1941). A master plaster caster, he is an expert and experienced collector, building up an extraordinary, museum-worthy collection of items in his one-bedroom flat in London W11...

A bronze portrait of Sir Winston Churchill by Rufus Martin, 2023 This head and shoulders bronze bust is instantly recognizable as Sir Winston Churchill. He is wearing a British Warm greatcoat with epaulettes and has a half-smoked cigar in the left hand resting on his hip. His right hand is raised in his trade mark V-for-Victory salute. Signed ‘Rufus Martin 1/12’. Sir Winston Churchill (1874 –1965) was a British politician, army officer and writer. He was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945, when he led Britain to victory in the Second World War, and again from 1951 to 1955. Churchill represented five constituencies during his career as a Member of Parliament. Ideologically an economic liberal and imperialist, for most of his career he was a member of the Conservative Party, which he led from 1940 to 1955, but from 1904 to 1924 was a member of the Liberal Party. This portrait of Churchill by Rufus Martin is striking for its juxtaposition of this famous historical subject and the free and contemporary choice of presentation. Churchill’s tenure during the Second World War infused the nation with calm and confidence, providing the British people with strong leadership during its darkest hours. Martin succeeds in portraying Churchill’s unshakeable belief in a successful outcome for the Allies through his defiant stance, unwavering gaze and Victory V gesture. Together with the recognizable “Bulldog” facial features and broad shoulders, this bust captures the subject in terms of character as well as being an accurate physical portrait . Rufus Martin trained at Wimbledon College of the Arts, London, though his aptitude for 3D design and sculpture was apparent from a very young age. His mother, a portrait painter, showed him the portrait sculptures of Augusta Savage, Jacob Epstein and Augustine Rodin, which inspired him to create a bust of his late mentor, Michael Howells. He sculpts ‘intriguing individuals, always hoping to capture some element of their past or current struggles and to create something for the good of the community they inhabit and wherever possible for posterity’ – an ambition he has most successfully fulfilled with this powerful portrait. After leaving college in 2017, with first class honours, Martin has won many prestigious prizes including the Tiranti Prize at the FACE, the Signature Art Award, the Chelsea Arts Club show for ‘Amy’, the True Blue Show, the Salmagundi Open Show, New York, Green & Stone Summer Show, the Chelsea Arts Society Summer Show, RBA Rising Stars, the Royal Cambrian Academy Open, the Binny Mathews & Sons joint show, The Next Big Thing and has been published in the Kings House...

Regal Guardians: A True Pair of Ralph Wood Type Pearlware Lions 1780-1800 This magnificent true pair of pearlware pottery figures—a majestic lion and its powerful lioness—exemplifies the high-quality decorative output of late 18th-century Staffordshire potteries in the manner of the celebrated Ralph Wood workshops. Displayed facing one another, these figures exude a regal yet charmingly naive presence typical of the period's finest folk-art ceramics. Each animal is masterfully modeled standing proudly on a slightly domed hollow base rendered in dynamic mottled green and brown glazes representing a grassy mound. The figures themselves are enriched with naturalistic brown glazes that flow and pool in the crevices of the modeling, dramatically highlighting the deeply textured mane of the male lion and emphasizing the sleek musculature of the lioness. The use of pearlware—a refinement of creamware with a whiter body and subtle blue tint to the glaze—indicates these were superior quality objects intended for prominent display. Dimensions 5 3/8 inches (13.65 cm) High 5 3/4 inches (14.61 cm) Long Provenance Produced in Staffordshire, England, circa 1780–1800. Historical Context Figures of lions and lionesses were enormously popular in 18th and 19th-century English pottery, serving as potent symbols of British national pride, strength, and imperial power. The Ralph Wood family of potters, working in Burslem, Staffordshire, were particularly renowned for their vibrant glazed figures, which are prized today for their distinctive aesthetic appeal and expressive modeling. The Ralph Wood pottery...
