Magnificent Pair of Gilt Bronze Lion Table Lamps by Henri Picard This exceptional pair of table lamps represents a masterclass in 19th-century French bronze casting. The lions are the work of the renowned Parisian fondeur Henri Picard, whose prestigious commissions included supplying the apartments of Emperor Napoleon III at the Louvre. Originally conceived as the flanking components of a monumental Gilt Bronze Surtout de Table (Centerpiece), these lions have been thoughtfully and expertly converted into a pair of sophisticated table lamps. This conversion breathes new life into the figures, allowing their sculptural grandeur to be appreciated at eye level within a modern interior setting. Each lion is cast in heavy bronze with an exquisite mercury-gilt finish. The quality of the chasing—specifically the tactile rendering of the manes and the powerful anatomical detail of the paws—is characteristic of Picard’s finest work. The lions are mounted upon substantial honed dark marble bases, raised on elegant gilt bun feet. The transition to lighting is seamless, featuring a polished, slender stem that complements rather than distracts from the bronze artistry. "It is rare to find Picard bronzes...

Pair of Antique 19th Century Penwork Display Stands Faux-Calamander Faux-Bois Turned Wood Watch Tazzas, c.1860 An incredibly rare and highly collectible pair of mid-19th-century English turned display stands or watch tazzas, dating to circa 1860. Masterfully turned on a lathe from a fine-grained hardwood, these diminutive pedestals have been beautifully hand-decorated utilising the historic technique of penwork and graining to simulate highly prized calamander (or coromandel) wood. The surface boasts a rich, warm honey-brown base, meticulously hand-painted with fine, undulating charcoal and jet-black "tiger stripes" that wrap entirely around the circular tops and baluster stems, perfectly capturing the prized faux-bois aesthetic. Each stand features a shallow, dished top with a finely raised rim, supported by an elegant, classical vase-turned column that tapers down to a stepped, circular plinth base. A key indicator of their exceptional age and authentic construction is the early, hand-cut wooden screw mechanism, allowing each pedestal to be effortlessly unscrewed into two separate components. Dating from the mid-Victorian era, small, high-quality turned tazzas of this scale were luxury items designed for the dressing tables, library desks, or bedside cabinets of affluent households. They primarily functioned as elegant receptacles to safely hold and display a gentleman’s or lady’s pocket watch...

Large 19th Century Florentine Heraldic Pietra Dura Plaque, Allegory of Peace, c.1890 This magnificent late 19th-century Italian Pietra Dura (Florentine mosaic) plaque is a virtuoso work of lapidary art, representing the absolute pinnacle of luxury commissions from the historic workshops of Florence. Often described as "painting in stone," this complex technique involves the meticulous cutting, fitting, and polishing of specimen hardstones and semi-precious minerals to create a seamless, fluid pictorial composition. Unlike standard, decorative multi-figure works, this specific plaque is a highly sophisticated, bespoke Heraldic and Allegorical Commission. Woven directly into the stone landscape are precise aristocratic charges: a prominent coat of arms featuring three chevrons, balanced by three doves perched in the trees. In European heraldry, the three chevrons traditionally symbolise amplified protection, faithful service, and the robust founding or fortification of a noble house. The three doves perched in flourishing branches signify peace, fidelity, and a family lineage rooted in prosperous, divine tranquility rather than bloody conquest. The plaque acts as a beautiful Allegory of Harmony and Peace, depicting a seated musician serenading a companion under the direct protection of the noble family crest. The master lapidary artist has seamlessly utilised the natural veining, variegation, and shading of choice jaspers, agates, chalcedonies, and colored marbles to simulate the organic textures of fabric folds, tree bark, and lifelike tones, all set against a flawless, solid black Belgian marble ground. History & Origin Technique: Commesso Fiorentino / Pietra Dura (Florentine Inlay Mosaic) Period: Late 19th Century (Circa 1880–1900) Origin: Florence, Italy Materials: Inlaid specimen hardstones (including jaspers, agates, and porphyry) on a black marble base. Dealer’s Comments "This is an absolute masterpiece of the craft, and its sheer physical presence is extraordinary. At 54cm square and weighing a very heavy 6.6kg, it is a truly substantial piece of lapidary art. What elevates this far above standard Florentine plaques...
