19th century AD. A desk seal with tapered rounded handle in a dark brown/white banded agate, with rectangular green/red bloodstone seal face, finely cut incuse ornate 'WIN' initials in monogram, held in an engraved gold collar with fluted back and bands of ivy leaves and foliage ornament. 50 grams, 75mm tall (seal face 18mm) (3 (3/4)"). Property of a Warwickshire gentleman; formerly in the private collection of the famous actor Leslie Phillips; acquired 1950-1960. Born in 1924 in London, Leslie Phillips attended the Italia Conti Academy where he developed the slightly affected accent which became his trademark. He usually played a roguish, suave charmer, and also enjoyed successful comic roles in the early Carry On films and on radio’s The Navy Lark. He has appeared in more than fifty films, plays and TV series spanning six decades; and recently gained new fans through his appearances in the Harry Potter films. He was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 1998 Queen's Birthday Honours; promoted to Commander (CBE) in the 2008 New Year Honours. [No Reserve]
