  • Grandfather Clocks and their cases – Brian Loomes

    Grandfather Clocks and their cases – Brian Loomes

    A first edition of this classic work published by David & Charles Newton Abbot, London in 1985.

    Largish quarto, 352 pages, illustrated throughout. A very good if not better copy. Heavy, unsuitable for Overseas postage, subsidised by Voyager in Australia.

    Brian Loomes was a Yorkshireman and new more about clocks than anybody. The book contains images of some of the greatest clocks the likes of which will surely never be made again. Now a collector’s book and maybe for the digitally challenged.

    Classic clocks for clock lovers – tick tock

    Published by Jonathan Cape, London in 1964. Octavo, 192 pages.

    A bit of age to the jacket, see image, and a previous owner has kindly spot pasted an article about the Shakespeare an Co bookshop in Paris which features in AMF being a favourite Hemingway haunt – as well as Joyce, Pound etc. otherwise very clean, top edge stained red as required. Still a very good example.

    Collectable Hemingway First Edition – our favourite book.

  • Original 19thC Watercolour – Australian Squadron, HMS Opal off the New Hebrides [Vanuatu] 1886 – D. F. Gillett

    Original 19thC Watercolour – Australian Squadron, HMS Opal off the New Hebrides [Vanuatu] 1886 – D. F. Gillett

    D.F. Gillett was an active British naïve marine artist in the late 19th early 20th Century. This painting is of an event in 1888, and we take that to be the year of the painting.

    A nice size, 38cm by 22cm in frame 65cm by 88cm. the wooden frame of unusual and pleasing design. The painting in very good condition, strong colours no fading or foxing.

    HMS Opal was an Emerald Class Corvette. Despite having steam power, she was fully rigged Barque. Built in Sunderland, England in 1875 she made her way to the Australian fleet and served between 1885-1890, mainly in the Pacific.

  • Stylish Deco Lady with Fawn and Borzoi – Designed by Peter Manfredi – Made by Pompeian Bronze, New York – 1920’s.

    Stylish Deco Lady with Fawn and Borzoi – Designed by Peter Manfredi – Made by Pompeian Bronze, New York – 1920’s.

    Simply the most stunning set of original bookends we have had. Exceedingly rare – not included in the key reference by Kuritsky and De Costa.

    Based in Brooklyn New York the business registered thirty copyrights for bookends – the last in 1930. Peter Manfredi was their top designer.

    Most bookends pairs are either identical or a reflection; rare as with this set to have a different subject for each. Clearly a pair because of the consistent and striking colouring and uniform patina.

    Original Pompeian Bronze label to the base of one.

    Very intricate designs hard to give them justice in the images. A trifle sign of age, overall in super condition for circa 100 years old.

    Large by usual standards – 23 cm high – circa 25 cm in length, hefty 2.7 kg the pair. Dependent on location there will likely be a postage supplement as they pack big for safety.

    Extremely Rare design by Peter Manfredi – 1920’s
