Ɏ A RARE KYOTO SCHOOL IVORY NETSUKE OF A CARPENTER SLEEPING ON A PLANK
Est: €1,000 - €2,000
Ɏ A RARE KYOTO SCHOOL IVORY NETSUKE OF A CARPENTER SLEEPING ON A PLANK Unsigned Japan, Kyoto, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868) Finely carved as a young carpenter fast asleep on a plank of wood, gently holding a hand plane as he rests his head, a ruler to the side, and a hammer supported on his foot. Dressed in a voluminous robe, finely incised with a hatched design, one sleeve to the back with the bare arm resting atop the timber. Generously excavated, asymmetrical himotoshi to the underside, the larger hole of oval shape. The ivory bearing a naturally grown, deep patina. LENGTH 3.5 cm Condition: Very good condition with wear and expected age cracks. Literature comparison: The work shows some affinities to the rather understated early ivory netsuke of Masanao of Kyoto, particularly the movement of the body, oval himotoshi, and decorated garments. For a related example of a boy and tub see Sagemonoya (2000) Netsuke: The French Connection, pp. 56-57, no. 41. Auction comparison: Compare a closely related ivory netsuke of a boy with a scroll and dog, Japan, 18th century, at Galerie Zacke, 27 May 2022, lot 168.

A FINE SET OF VICTORIA CROSS MINIATURE DRESS MEDALS worn by Captain A F B Carpenter VC RN, together with original VC medal box. The Original Victoria Cross is exhibited in the Imperial War Museum, assorted ephemera and documents relating to Captain Carpenter, also letters documenting James Carpenters Military exploits. (qty) Note: On the night of 22/23 April 1918 a small carefully prepared British naval force comprising 4th Battalion, Royal Marines and 250 blue jackets attacked Zeebrugge and Ostend on the Belgian coast. Its purpose was to block the channels which led to the German naval base at Bruges, the home of more than thirty destroyers and torpedo boats and about thirty U-boats. The raid was led by HMS Vindictive under Commander A F B Carpenter, accompanied by two ex-Mersey ferry-boats, Iris II and Daffodil, carrying more troops. They were to attack the German batteries on the one and a half mile-long Mole, which protected the canal exit at Zeebrugge. While the Vindictive was still a few hundred yards off the Mole, she was sighted by the Germans and came under heavy fire, which killed the commanders of both the naval assault force and the Marines. The Marines in its fighting top, under Lieutenant Rigby, opened answering fire on the Germans, but all of them were soon killed or disabled except Sergeant N A Finch, the second-in-command, who remounted a Lewis gun and began firing again. As Vindictive approached her destination, 100 yards away Iris II also reached the Mole. Because of the heavy swell both ships had difficulty securing a mooring. On Iris II, Lieutenant Commander G N Bradford climbed a derrick which was projecting over the Mole and, clutching an anchor, leapt on to the Mole, only to be killed by German machine-gun fire. No-one else from Iris II was able to make a landing. She was subsequently hit by two German shells and it was assumed that she had been sunk whereas in fact she managed to reach Dover that afternoon. Meanwhile, on the Vindictive, Carpenters seamanship and calmness had allowed the landing of its troops to proceed. Under the cover given by Sergeant Finchs Lewis gun, Lieutenant Commander A L Harrison led A and B Companies towards the seaward batteries, despite his jaw having just been broken by a shell fragment. He was killed almost at once and every man with him was either killed or wounded. It was during this part of the assault that Able Seaman A E McKenzie, firing a Lewis gun, distinguished himself by his gallantry. Soon afterwards, Captain E Bamford, commander of B Company, led an assault on another German battery. As part of the operation the British succeeded in destroying a section of the Mole near the shore consisting of a 300 yard steel viaduct, which allowed the tide to scour the harbour. Its demolition prevented the Germans bringing up reinforcements during the attack and also cut the railway along the mole, diminishing its value to the enemy as a defensive feature. Two old submarines, C1 and C3, manned by volunteer crews of two officers and four men, had been packed with explosives and towed across the North Sea. The hawser of C1 broke before the action began but Lieutenant R D Sandford succeeded in ramming C3 under the viaduct and setting the fuses. The engine on their escape vessel refused to start and C3s crew were forced to paddle, though some, including Sandford, were wounded by German fire. They were rescued by a picket boat, commanded by Sandfords elder brother, Lieutenant Francis Sandford, and taken out to HMS Phoebe. Sandfords second-in-command, Lieutenant John Howell-Price, was awarded the DSO, and Petty Officer Coxswain Walter Harner, Leading Seaman William Cleave, Engine-Room Artificer Allan Roseburgh and Stoker Henry Bindall were all awarded the CGM. The various attacks on the Mole were, however, largely diversionary in purpose. The chief object of the raid was to block the entrance to the canal itself. There were three blockships, the light cruisers HMS Thetis, HMS Intrepid and HMS Iphigenia. Thetis became entangled in the German defence nets and ran aground short of the canal mouth, but both Intrepid and Iphigenia were successfully scuttled. Their crews of more than 100 officers and men were taken off by Motor Launch No 282, commanded by Lieutenant P T Dean RNVR. Although his steering gear failed, Dean was able to manoeuvre using his engines, even going back to rescue an officer in the water. Though ML 282 was hit many times, Dean succeeded in transferring the men to HMS Warwick. The Zeebrugge Raid was daring in conception, and conspicuous for the gallantry of its execution. It did not, however, achieve its principal purpose. By early May U-boats were able to work their way around the blockships and once again reach the North Sea. At the same time an attempt had been made to block the canal exit at Ostend but this failed and a second raid against Ostend was mounted on 9/10 May.
