Footnotes
The letter from the vendor accompanying this lot confirms that the award was given to him by Keith Richards. The vendor's parents were staff at Richards' West Wittering country retreat, 'Redlands'. In the early 1970s there was a major fire at the property and afterwards a number of salvaged items were left scattered on the lawn. The vendor was on hand with his father, Jack Dyer, the estate's gardener, to help with the clear-up. As a thank you, Keith gave this award to the vendor who was a young boy at the time. The scorched plinth is a testament to the survival of the award in the fire.
