OSCAR NEMON (1906-1985): SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL a cast silver miniature bust, Asprey & Co. Ltd., London, 1973, signed 'NEMON' to reverse, also stamped 'ASPREY / LONDON', set on a slope fronted green onyx plinth, bust 4.5cm high, 9cm overallNemon and Churchill first met in 1951 at ‘La Mamounia’, the famous hotel in Marrakech. Lady Churchill, on later seeing a clay bust of her husband, which Nemon had secretly modelled in his hotel bedroom, wrote to him that ‘it represents to me my husband as I see him and as I think of him, and I would like to have it just as it is.’ A friendship blossomed between the artist and the couple, Nemon producing over two dozen versions of the great man, including in 1969 the large bronze featuring in the Member’s Lobby of the Commons, as well as the group of Sir Winston and Lady Churchill titled ‘Married Love’, a version of which can be seen at Chartwell. The only man apparently to sculpt Churchill from life, Nemon recorded in an unpublished memoir that his subject could be ‘bellicose, challenging, and deliberately provocative’, although an interviewer later reported that the artist felt the results were ‘not merely a likeness, but a biography of his life’. (https://winstonchurchill.hillsdale.edu/nemon-sculpture/ - accessed 20.09.2023)Nemon appears to have collaborated with Asprey's to produce two editions of this bust, once in gold in 1967 followed by one in silver in 1973, the silver versions more finely modelled than the earlier gold examples. For another silver bust see Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd., Devizes, 19 January 2019, lot 399 and for a gold example Bonham's, London, 27 January 2015, lot 273.

An Elizabeth II Parcel-Gilt Silver Cup and Cover, by Asprey and Co.

B. Holliday's "Finish Fast" (Fidalgo Javotte) 21-8-65' and 'Bilsdale Hunt Perpetual Challenge Cup'. James Porteous Wood was born in Edinburgh and went to the George Heriot School, though he left when he was only 14 as his interest lay in studying art, which he subsequently did at the Edinburgh College of Art. His early artistic expression was through watercolour painting, which he did around Ripon while based there as a non-commissioned office during the war. His talents were recognised in 1945 when he was elected to the Royal Scottish Watercolour Society. It was perhaps as the Director of Art and Design for Asprey that he was to make his greatest impact with commissions such as an 18ct gold bowl which was presented to President Eisenhower and a model of the Dome of the Rock which was commissioned by King Hassan of Morocco. With a diameter of some 175cm the creation has been described as the most important piece of silver ever exported from the UK. His works rarely appear on the market but what does appear shows a similar flare for design and the use of luxury materials. Two items by him, both marked for Asprey, were included in the exhibition Embellish: The Art of Hand Engraving, held at Tennants in the summer of 2023. They were both kindly loaned from the Pearson Silver Collection and included an 18ct white gold and quartz-set box made to commemorate the Chester Assay Office and a salver engraved as the Totalisator Spring Handicap trophy. Interestingly on each of those examples credit is given to those involved in the creation of the item, the salver for example also being made by craftsman Keith Tasker and the box engraved by Theodore C. F. Wise, a nod perhaps to his interest in encouraging young talent, which he also did by sponsoring an annual art prize at Mallaig High School. With non-transferable CITES A10 licence no. 24GBA105BNYPB. Fully marked on one side near rim and further part marked on cover bezel. The marks are generally clear. The base further stamped 'Asprey London; and engraved 'Designer Porteous Wood' and 'Craftsman K Tusker'.

The wood base with fading and some holes where plaques were originally attached. There is some glue residue to the base as well.
