Dedication and great skill are what you need to create a unique piece of this extraordinary quality – a massive 18ct gold (over 1.5 kilos) and amethyst table lighter in the form of a Lighthouse. It is set on top of a solid section of amethyst geode, 112 pounds in weight, beautifully cut to emulate a rocky shoreline, consisting of 9 rectangular cut AAA grade cut and polished amethysts. The base of the Lighthouse, also in 18ct gold, is engraved to resemble brickwork, and even has a ladder leading up to a fenced ledge with a small door. The glazed lantern at the top, also has ‘windows’ of bevelled amethyst and the body of the lighthouse and the lantern illuminate from within. The lighthouse lantern...

Sinke & van Tongeren exhibited this extremely rare Auzoux Gorilla by carefully taking apart the model and creating an exploded view of this historically important piece. When viewed from a particular angle all pieces come together to form the original shape. It was part of the exhibition called ‘TIER’ at MOA in The Netherlands The story of a remarkable 19th century anatomical model created just four years after Darwin unleashed a political storm with his theories on human evolution. The publication of Charles Darwin’s controversial On the Origin of Species in 1859 caused debates to rage about human evolution, debates which witnessed the politicisation of a creature whose existence had only recently been confirmed by modern science. On one side of the argument was the Darwinian camp; on the other were those opposed to Darwin’s theory, such as Richard Owen, the famed Director of the Natural History Museum and a man who, interestingly, coined the word ‘dinosaur’. Tales of the creature in question had endured for centuries, but up until 1847 it remained a myth, an unknown. This all changed thanks to the missionary Thomas Savage and the anatomist Jeffries Wyman who wrote a paper for the journal of the Boston Society of Natural History in which they described a new species: Troglodytes gorilla. (Later, in 1929, Harvard zoologist Harold Coolidge would apply the synonym Gorilla gorilla...
