The Webb’s May Interiors auction presents another superb offering of quality antiques, collectables and designer furnishings�

We are pleased to be auctioning a rare Meiji-era formal court uniform, formerly the property of Prince Ito Hirobumi (1841–1909), Samurai of the Choshu domain, Japanese statesman and four times Prime Minister of Japan� Ito Hirobumi was responsible for establishing a cabinet, a civil service (1885) and a privy council (1888), which he headed� He supervised (1883–89) the drafting of the constitution of 1889 and was intimate adviser to the Emperor� In 1905, Ito forced an agreement making Korea a virtual protectorate of Japan and became

(in 1906) resident-general there� His assassination by a Korean in 1909 served as a pretext for annexation of Korea� His impressive dress uniform offers a close link to an extraordinary statesman and an important part of Japanese political history�

The sale opens with a Maritime section which consists of the collection of ex-Royal New Zealand Navy Servicemen’s Association and sailing memorabilia from Mr and Mrs Croix-Grut; they are believed to have been the first New Zealand couple to circumnavigate the globe in a yacht� Also on offer is a collection of vintage clothes, religious iconography, two impressive shoulder-mount taxidermies, one of a giraffe and one of a kudu, fine

Indian portrait miniatures, Victorian English porcelain, and a selection of good Victorian and Georgian sterling-silver tableware� The Oriental section covers Chinese and Japanese porcelain, bronze, textiles, jade, furniture and export-ware; as well, there is a fine selection of English and European furniture, clocks, rugs and chandeliers� Including a superb 19th Century Pollard Oak bureau bookcase� Plus two spectacular white rhinoceros horns�
