More than a Game: Sporting Medals & Shirts

Date: 14th Oct, 2022 12:30

Rare and important pieces from the earliest days of Association football will feature in this carefully curated specialist sale.

Topping the sale are two football shirts, one worn during the first official Irish Free State home tie vs. Italy in 1927, the other during Rangers only European trophy win in 1972. Further details are presented within.

Alongside these, we will include a English vs. Scottish XI medal awarded to Heart of Midlothian stalwart and early club legend, Bobby Walker. Dated to 1899, the award is an unusual survivor.

Alongside this is an interesting Rangers display said to have once hung in the halls of Ibrox itself. Mounted with share certificates dating from shortly after the club became incorporated in 1899, these are presented alongside a cheque made payable to the Gers most famous manager, Bill Struth.

Items of contrasting Olympic interest will also be offered. A most curious Wenlock Olympiad padlock will be sure to catch collectors’ eyes, this piece relating to the eponymous competition that inspired THE modern day Olympic Games. From the 21st century, an Olympic torch used in the lead up to the Athens 2004 homecoming games stands as an iconic symbol of those very Games.

Other Times, Other Places: Fine Furniture & Works of Art

Date: 13th Oct, 2022 12:30

The joy of antiques is their ability to transport us to other times and places, indeed a very different world than ours.

A fine salon suite takes us to Belle Epoque France of the late 19th and early 20th centuries when Toulouse-Lautrec haunted the Moulin Rouge and Gustave Eiffel built his famous tower.

We then travel to Russia with a rare Imperial biscuit porcelain figure produced by the Gardner Porcelain Factory: modelled as a peasant mother clutching her child, we can imagine the biting cold of Siberian snows.

A whirlwind tour of central Europe takes in the factories of Herend in Vienna and Zsolnay Pecs in Hungary; after a quick detour to the Ginori workshop in Tuscany we return to Scotland with two excellent examples of textiles, the first a William IV sampler worked by a Richmond Kilpatrick of Edinburgh with the second, a large and fine Paisley shawl of circa 1860 bringing us close to home.

Entries entries are invited for our next Fine Furniture & Works of Art auction on 2nd February. For a complimentary, no-obligation valuation, make an appointment to visit our Glasgow Galleries, or contact our specialists by clicking this link and completing the short form.
