Gold and Agate Snuff Box Belonging to Anne, First Duchess of Buccleuch
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
This oval gold snuff box is inscribed with a crest of ‘a stag trippant’ within mantling of upright ostrich plumes tied with a bow, all below a ducal coronet and above a cypher of the entwined initials ‘B.A.B.’ for Anne of Buccleuch. English, circa 1670.
Provenance: Anne, 1st Duchess of Buccleuch
Anne Scott, 1st Duchess of Buccleuch (1651-1732) was a wealthy Scottish peeress. After her father died when she was a few months old, and her sisters by the time she was 10, she inherited the family’s titles. She was married, at 12 years old, to James, 1st Duke of Monmouth, the eldest illegitimate son of Charles II, then 14. Following the king’s death in February 1685, James spearheaded an anti-Catholic revolt to depose the new king, James II, and claim the throne from his uncle. The brief Monmouth Rebellion ended in defeat and James, by then Duke of Monmouth and Buccleuch, was executed for treason. The Duchess had six children by Monmouth, and a further three by her second husband, Charles, 3rd Baron Cornwallis, whom she married in 1688. She died in 1732 and was succeeded by her grandson, Francis, Earl of Dalkeith.
The style of chasing used on this box is very reminiscent of a signed piece in the Gilbert...

OriginaAntique 17th-Century Map of Guizhou Province, China – (Qveichev) by Blaeu
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Antique 17th-Century Map of Guizhou Province, China – "Qveichev" by Blaeu, Richly Illustrated and Colored
Description: This remarkable map of Guizhou Province, historically known as "Qveichev," was created by Johannes Blaeu and published in 1655 as part of his *Novus Atlas Sinensis*. This atlas, developed in collaboration with Jesuit missionary Martino Martini, marked the first Western attempt at a comprehensive geographic representation of China. Blaeu’s map offers a detailed depiction of the mountainous terrain, rivers, and towns of Guizhou, a province known for its rugged beauty and cultural diversity.
The map is adorned with two decorative cartouches, each reflecting the artistic and cultural influences of the time. The title cartouche in the lower-right corner features two figures in traditional Chinese attire, symbolizing the blend of European cartographic mastery and Chinese heritage. The upper-left corner includes a secondary cartouche with an explanatory key, adding a touch of elegance to the map’s functionality. Towns, mountains, and rivers are meticulously labeled in Latin, showcasing Blaeu’s dedication to detail and accuracy.
Crafted using the copperplate engraving technique, this map demonstrates exceptional precision. The hand-coloring enhances its visual appeal, highlighting borders and geographic features with vibrant tones. Blaeu’s work is not only a tool for geographic understanding but also a piece of art that embodies the spirit of exploration during the Dutch Golden Age.
Guizhou Province, historically known as "Qveichev," is renowned for its breathtaking natural landscapes, rich ethnic diversity, and historical significance. As one of China's most mountainous regions, Guizhou is characterized by dramatic karst formations, lush green hills, and cascading waterfalls. The province is also home to a variety of ethnic minority groups, including the Miao, Dong, and Bouyei, whose traditions, colorful costumes, and vibrant festivals make the region culturally significant.
Famous features and important places include Huangguoshu Waterfall, one of Asia's largest and most iconic waterfalls, located near the city of Anshun. Zhijin Cave, a vast karst cave system, is celebrated for its stunning stalactites and stalagmites. Kaili is known as the cultural center of Miao traditions, with picturesque villages and celebrated festivals. Zunyi holds historical importance for the Zunyi Conference, a pivotal event in the Chinese Communist Party's history. Fanjing Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands out for its unique biodiversity and sacred Buddhist sites.

Circa 1691 Frederick de Wit Map: Middle East with Arabia, Persia & More
This exquisite hand-colored map, circa 1691, by Frederick de Wit, illustrates the Middle East, spanning from Turkey and Egypt to Afghanistan, with a detailed representation of the Arabian Peninsula.
The map's detailing in Arabia is based on Nicolas Sanson's influential 1654 map, which was one of the most accurate and detailed depictions of the region up to the mid-seventeenth century.
The decorative title cartouche is richly adorned with images of exotic figures, animals, and a merchant ship, symbolizing the region's historical trade importance. Additionally, a mapmaker is shown working with traditional tools, adding a touch of authenticity to the cartographic art.
This is the fourth state of the map, published between 1691 and 1696. The map measures 21.8 inches in width by 18.5 inches in height, featuring a sharp impression, with minimal staining and a carefully repaired centerfold separation at the bottom.
