    Sold for (Inc. bp): £20,800

    Ex D.S. Lavendar, London, UK. Property of a North American gallery, acquired in 2012. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no.12121-214333.

    The inscription, a means of expressing agreement, has not yet been matched to a particular family motto. However, the Anglo-Saxon words and the possible later date of the ring suggests that this is a motto descended from one of the Marcher Lords, or Knights Marchers. The latter occupied the border land between Wales and England, and were granted special privileges and status by William the Conqueror, and were virtually independent rulers.
