Specialist note

Philip Guilmant was a British architect and designer. He moved to Mexico in 1954 and served on the commissioning committee for the construction of the full-figure Churchill monument in Mexico City. The present lot was given to Philip Guilmant by Lady Mary Soames, daughter of Sir Winston Churchill, in July 1975 to mark the unveiling of Nemon's full size statue of Churchill.
