About Brigitte Martini Kunsthandel

19th Century Gilt Carved Center Table Egypt Style Ismail Pasha Gezireh Palace
Located in Epfach, DE
This fascinating 19th century table, created in the style of ancient Egypt, is an outstanding example of the Egyptomania of the time. Made between 1867 and 1870, the table impresses with its elaborately carved, gilded and polychrome-painted surface. The table top is made of original black Belgian marble, which gives the piece a noble appearance.
This table was a central component of the exhibition Egyptomania: Egypt in European Art 1730-1930, a groundbreaking show that was shown in 1994 at the Musée du Louvre in Paris, the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. The exhibition illuminated the profound fascination that Ancient Egypt exerted on European art, architecture and design from the 18th to the early 20th century.

18th Century Wine Jug George III England 1kg Sterling Silver Peter & Ann Bateman
By Peter and Ann Bateman
Located in Epfach, DE
18th Century Wine Jug George III England 1kg Sterling Silver Peter & Ann Bateman
This impressive wine jug, made in 1795 during the reign of King George III, is an artistic example of the work of the renowned silversmiths Peter and Ann Bateman. The jug rests on a curved base with an elegant fluted profile on the rim and is decorated with a surrounding frieze of leaf motifs in fine ‘bright-cut’ engraving.
The indented stem and the amphora-shaped body with vertically curved walls give the jug a classic look. The curved mouth rim with beak-shaped spout ensures harmonious lines, while the hinged lid is domed in the centre and crowned by a spherical knob. The curved wooden C-handle stylishly rounds off the design and provides a comfortable grip.
The wide frieze with leaf and flower motifs on the wall, executed in extremely fine ‘bright-cut’ engraving, is particularly noteworthy. The front of the jug is also engraved with initials, giving the piece a personal touch.
The wine jug bears a full set of London silver stamps on the underside, which prove its authenticity and the year of manufacture. Works by Peter and Ann Bateman are recognised for their high quality craftsmanship and can be found in major collections worldwide. This exceptional sterling silver example combines elegance and the finest engraving skills and is a valuable collector's item of late 18th century English silver...
