The trophy is in fair to good condition. There is loss to one ear tip

The mirror is in very attractive decorative and untouched condition

The grandson of the founder

age and imperfection but importantly retaining its clarity and intended use

though importantly the individual fingers all remain in tact

Date: 1837

The piece has not been retouched or refinished in any way

Alfred Horton died in 1886 and the business was then carried on by Harry Allday alone

Siegel of Siegel & Stockman

as commanders decided the images (many containing naked women)

The site had an extensive history first as an Augustinian Priory and then as convent

while innocuous looking objects at first sight

thus he could well have been fashioned for advertisement purposes rather than from a father to his son
