Rolls Royce silver Spirit of Ecstasy bookends, mounted on carved marble bases with fitted silver elements and dating to the late 1930s.

Each bookend is formed with a demi-lune stepped plinth base in marble, rising to fluted column supports. The mounts are surmounted by miniature Spirit of Ecstasy mascots cast in solid silver, immediately identifying the pieces within the Rolls Royce design language of the period.

The silver elements are hallmarked for Saunders and Shepherd, London, and dated 1937, the final year of the Rolls Royce Objets de Bureau series. The front of each bookend features a sterling silver initial plaque, engraved “P.P”, and bearing matching hallmarks.

These bookends form part of the celebrated series of sterling silver desk objects commissioned by Rolls Royce between 1926 and 1937. Produced in limited numbers and presented as gifts to selected individuals connected with the company, they were never offered for public sale.

The pair retain strong historical significance, representing both the closing year of the series and the enduring association between Rolls Royce and the Spirit of Ecstasy.

Tea chest with Chinoiserie decoration, of rectangular sarcophagus form with a slightly tapered body and angled lid, raised upon four brass ball feet and dating to the Regency period.

The exterior is decorated in penwork with a central band of foliage and blossoming flowers running across the body. The faceted panels to the lid are each finely detailed with Chinoiserie scenes, adding variation and interest across the surface.

The chest is fitted with twin loop handles to either side, complementing the brass feet and providing balance to the form.

Opening the tea chest reveals an interior lined in red paper, fitted with two removable tea caddies, each decorated with further Chinoiserie penwork. To the centre sits a hand made etched glass sugar bowl, completing the original fitted arrangement.

The tea chest dates to the early nineteenth century, circa 1820, during the Regency period.

This antique apple fruit tea caddy is turned in sycamore and modelled as a natural apple, dating to circa 1800.

Carved in a rounded form with a naturalistic button stalk to the top, closely echoing the shape of the original fruit. The surface has developed a warm colour over time consistent with early nineteenth century sycamore.

The caddy retains its original steel escutcheon to the front with matching hinge to the rear. When opened, the interior shows traces of the original silver foil lining, traditionally used to preserve the freshness of tea.

Fruit tea caddies were produced as both functional and decorative objects, reflecting the importance of tea drinking within the home at the turn of the nineteenth century. Their sculptural forms make them particularly desirable to collectors.

A well preserved example of an early treen tea caddy with strong colour and form.
