Self portrait 'Gemini
The painting was executed in oil on fine linen canvass, and painted in 1982. It is sold as seen, and needs
to be mounted on a stretcher frame. It will be sent rolled on a cardboard core, and inside a cardboard tube
for further protection. There is slight damage around the edge from storage in this condition, but it can be
hidden inside a frame, or removed by reducing the ample edge.
Size: painted area 60 cm x 69 cm

Gold work embroidery 'Tree of Life'
The panel is executed in gold work on white cotton canvass. The pommegranet motif is based on the sumptuous
15th century brocades, and emulates with embroidery effects then achieved by weaving, such as the
looped gold thread, and the spared areas were plucked to recess the embroidery. The outer leaves
have silk satin inserts. The panel is mounted on a padded cardboard backing, and could be displayed
in this form, or re-mounted in a frame or incorporated into a garment, such as a wedding dress or cloak.
Size: 36 cm diameter
Copy of Victorian cape
This cape is a near as exact copy of a Victorian cape made in good quality pure wool with brushed felt-like surface ('fulled')
with a stylised floral appliqué motif on a shoulder cape. It was copied from an original by tracing the shape
and also the pattern of the motif.
colour: black
condition: good, though only worn once, it is no longer in mint condition through storage, and there are a few tiny moth holes,
just a couple or so millimeters across. There are about four near the collar, under the shoulder cape (not visible when worn),
and on the edge of the hem allowance, at the back, also not readily visible, except when holding it up to the light and meticulously
looking for it.
closure: hook and eye
length: 90 cm (35")
hem circumference: 3.9 meters (approx 12 feet) - nearly full circle
Antique Pleater
The label reads:
The Anglo-American Domestic Pleater
for making every description of side and box pleats
James Hammett
350 City Road
London
Directons
Tuck in the pleat with knife the desired width, keep in place with the holder, lay on the
press board, turn over and press with hot iron, all goods put on pleater right side up.
All looks in good working order. The 'knife' seems to have been repaired, as it has a rough
screw holding the metal plate to the wood, but judging by the wood and varnish, it appears
to be original and matches the wooden holder and the box.The base frame has 39 grooves.
The steel strips of the top frame have very slight surface rust marking, which can easily be
rubbed off. In case of interest in original state, I have not attempted to renovate it, though it is
in a fairly good condition, and would require little attention to make it a working tool again.
Size of box: 14" x 11 1/2" x 3"
base frame: 13" x 10"
