Away with the faeries
Posted 27/10/2006 by legalweekblogs.com SU
Later this month (16 November) partners with more cash than they know what to do with have the chance to buy an historic piece of legal memorabilia when a much-treasured work of art goes under the hammer at auction house Bonhams.
No, Nigel Boardman - oil painting that he is - has not been put out to pasture by Slaughter and May.
Instead, a "whimsical" (it says in the brochure) picture by 19th-century artist A Duncan Carse - depicting the ancient tradition of the Lord Chancellor's Breakfast, accompanied by an appropriate number of "goblins and faeries" - is up for sale. The painting is expected to fetch between £6,000 and £8,000 and would look good hanging on the wall of any place where ancient traditions and mythical figures from olde English folklore are appreciated.
Such as the reception at One Bunhill Row.
