A stunning Ormolu statue of Napoleon Bonaparte on an ormolu column fitted to a round wooden base with small bu feet. Produced in France around 1860 as a desk ornament it has survived very well. The ormolu is in bright untouched condition and with the wooden base gives it that extra lift.

I believe that this superb silver plated Ink Stand is possibly Dutch in origin. The casting is very deeply under cut and of very fine detail. The scene is of Baccus riding a donkey in a procession led by Pan like figures one playing pipes another blowing a horn. A third is by the side of Baccus holding a wine chalis. Following behind is a maiden with a tambourine all set in a landscape. There are further figures of angels and puttes set in a frieze running around the outside. Under the hinged lid are two compartments for ink wells to sit. (these are missing and would have been of glass) The lidded compartment sits on a tray with raised border and sits on four shaped feet.

C.1900 Probably Belgium or French in origan and could have been carved from a fruitwood. This is an excellent carving of a nun holding her hands in prayer. The detail is as fine as you will see in wood carving, with excellent detail to the folds in her habit and sharp features to her face. There seems to be no damage visable anywere. She is carved standing on a steped base which has been added to a later marble base which has saved her falling over and causing chipping or bruising to the wood.

Dating from around 1880 this was most certainly a Grand Tour Piece. It depicts a bronze puti or cherub holding and plucking a harp. He sits on a marble turned pillar on a square base

19th Century brass free-standing match safe in the form of a Toby Jug. Details include buttons, ribbon and wrinkles to jacket. Heavier casting. Hinged lid at hat in full working order, however it is a little slack. This does not distract from overall presentation of the piece.

C.1860 A fantastic Victorian Silver Gilt Filigree Tussie Mussie or Posy Holder. Probably Italian in origin and produced around 1860 for formal evening wear or as a bridal accessory. In very good overall condition with only the smallest amount of missing filigree, only obvious on very close inspection.

A Superbly detailed miniature hand carved marble figure of DANTE. Collected around 1860/1880 by someone on the Grand Tour through Italy The carving is of fantastic detail, the head and shoulders carved on a turned column made from a single piece. I believe the carving is from serpentine marble but not completely certain.
