This is a lovely antique oil painting on board of a stabled horse by the artist W H Wheelwright, a nineteenth century English artist well known for his paintings of horses, hunting, and racing scenes. 1857-1897.
This wonderful painting was likely commissioned by the owner of a stabled horse called "Lucy". The horse is saddled, and and the horse blanket is marked with the initials CP which are probably the owners initials. Beautifully painted, with rich colors and great expression. Signed and dated 1874.

Condition: Area of stabilization around the horse head where the paint was possibly lifting off. Otherwise fine. Size: 23 1/2 X 19 1/4 inches.

This is a truly lovely eye shaped Georgian memorial, or mourning, brooch. It is a bit different from the usual memorial pieces in that the tomb has the word “love” inscribed on it, as well as two doves nestled on the top representing love. The lady is holding a wreath in her hands and is dressed in a flowing dress of browns and cream. An exquisitely painted piece.
The brooch has a C clasp and a long pin, as well as a ring to allow it to be attached to a chain.
Condition: Fine
Size: 1 5/8 X 7/8 inch.
