A Napoleonic era bone prisoner of war model of the 40-gun frigate ‘Creolian’
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
A Napoleonic era bone prisoner of war model of the 40-gun frigate ‘Creolian’, the three masted barque with a planked hull, finely detailed with a carved poop deck and a female figurehead, intricate black thread rigging and a black plaque stating in gilt, Creolian. In the original glazed wooden case with a painted background of a sunset over a bay with ships on the horizon. French, circa 1800.
Provenance Ivan Roll Amis, d. 1 July 1970
Richard Henry Allen Amis, CBE, thence by descent
During the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815), large numbers of French soldiers and marines were taken prisoner. To help pass the time and generate a small income, they would make a variety of objects—including ship models—from simple, easily-sourced materials such as bone and wood for sale at local markets. Typically, the models were not made to scale and tools were limited, making the quality and attention to detail in this work even more remarkable. To realise a good price at market, the models were often named after famous ships of the time. It may well be that this ship was the ‘Créole’, a 40-gun frigate of the French Navy. She served in the Brest squadron, took part in Ganteaume’s expeditions of 1801 to Egypt, and was involved in the French acquisition of Santo Domingo (also known as the Era de Francia) and briefly detained Toussaint Louverture...

A Very Fine and Historically Significant George III Silver Mounted Powder Horn
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
This fine powder horn has silver mounts by the silversmiths Thomas Phipps and Edward Robinson, hallmarked for London, 1803. The charger on the horn has three adjustments and a side lever system and the wider end of the horn has a silver cap engraved with two crests, shields and family mottoes. The crests are for the Maitland and Dick families and represent the lineage of Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick Lewis Maitland. The Maitland line, represented by the lion crest and the motto Consilio et Animus represents the arms of the male line. Maitland’s father, also Frederick Lewis Maitland (1730-1786), had an interesting and successful naval career though was rather overshadowed by the later successes of his son. The martlet (small bird) crest and motto In Domino Confido is the female line, in this case Margaret Dick, daughter of Viscount Frendraught. The Dick family was important in the clan hierarchy in Scotland, being the head of Clan Crichton and heir to Clan Makgill at this time.

The large and interesting silver gilt trophy of Captain George
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
The large and interesting silver gilt trophy of Captain George Welstead, purchased with prize money from the East India Company, 1805, in the form of a footed cup with a separate cover, with two arched scrolling acanthus handles, incised and chased with a band of scrolling vines and a continuous thick garland of flowers suspended by two tied bows around two cartouches, one with a later applied panel showing the coat of arms of the East India Company (a shield surmounted by a helmet, flanked by lion supporters each holding a British standard, motto ‘Auspicio Regis et Senatus Angliæ’), the other with six putti driving a cart pulled by a pair of lionesses, the cover with a collar of pointed leaves and the Welstead family crest (a hind trippant), the foot with an inscription stating ‘A remembrance of the East India Company’s Present, to Captn G. Welstead, of four hundred guineas. June 11, 1805′. Assay marks for WH, London, 1795. English.
Condition: repairs to old damage on the stem.
Provenance: The collection of Carl De Santis, sold at Christie’s, 17th March 1999, lot 91
Sold subsequently at Sotheby’s 4th November 2011, lot 253
This is a fascinating documentary item. It is not, in itself, a presentation piece of plate. The wording makes it clear that Welstead was presented with money so he must have chosen to buy this piece with some of his prize to remember his success in the future. This also explains why the vase, probably bought second hand, predates the inscription by 10 years and has a later panel with the East India Coat of Arms applied to one side.
Unfortunately, the precise reason for the award of 400 Guineas to Welstead in 1805 is not recorded. At this point he was captain of the East Indiaman Euphrates and it is recorded in Shipbuilding & Shipping Record: A Journal of Shipbuilding, Marine Engineering, Dock, Harbours & Shipping, Vol. 68, pp. 134 & 162, that Lloyds of London presented him with a “silver tureen” for successfully refloating the vessel when she had run aground in the Hooghli river. It is quite likely the HEIC rewarded him for this same event.
Welstead received several gifts of silver during the course of his incredibly successful career, including having a bespoke presentation centrepiece commissioned for him through a subscription by the grateful officers on his ship circa 1825. A superb design drawing for an extraordinary chinoiserie silver centrepiece, made by the firm of Green, Ward & Co-rivals to Rundell Bridge and Rundell...
