Victoria (1819-1901). A deconstructed jacket, and Sir Henry Irving's bow tie
Est: £200 - £400
Victoria (1819-1901). A deconstructed jacket, and Sir Henry Irving's bow tie * Victoria (1819-1901). Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. A deconstructed jacket, 3 parts of a crimson velvet jacket, elaborately embellished with gold soutache braid forming large feather design and sewn to castellated edge, comprising bodice in 2 parts, bust 112 (44 ins), length 74 cm (29 ins), and a wide sleeve, 48 cm (19 ins long), a few small marks, together with: Irving (Sir Henry, 1838-1905). A bow tie belonging to Sir Henry Irving, white fine cotton twill bow tie, a little discoloured, 9.6 x 88 cm (3.5 x 34.75 ins), together with a pressed carnation, and a telegram from Martin Harvey to the secretary of the Dramatic and Literary Club, Grand Hotel, Birmingham, reading 'Warm greetings to all and many regrets at inability to be present', contained together in a Grand Hotel envelope inscribed 'Worn by Sir Henry Irving Friday 7th October 1904 Birmingham', plus 2 manuscript letters from Diane Pimm pertaining to provenance QTY: (2) NOTE: According to an accompanying (later) note this was a favourite jacket of Queen Victoria: 'given to a servant at Osborne House but cut up to stop her wearing it! This was often done by the Queen apparently.' Indeed, another garment lacking a sleeve which belonged to Victoria - a black mourning bodice - passed through these rooms last year. It seems reasonable to suppose that the Queen, whilst wishing her clothes to be repurposed - particularly for the benefit of those who served her - would have thought it unseemly for her staff to be seen wearing them. Provenance for bow tie: Given by Sir Henry Irving to George Claridge, a waiter at the Grand Hotel in Birmingham; bequeathed by George Claridge to his niece Dorothy Pimm (née Claridge); given by Dorothy Pimm to her daughter-in-law Diane Pimm; given to the current owner - private collection, Derbyshire. The Irving Literary and Dramatic Club, otherwise known as The Irving Club, devoted its attention to the study of dramatic literature and orchestral music, holding meetings once a week. Sir John Martin-Harvey (1863-1944) joined Henry Irving's Lyceum Theatre company in 1882, and worked there for 14 years, often playing the lead role on tour that Irving had played in London. He took over the management of the Lyceum Theatre from Henry Irving in 1899.
