Carved Italian Marble Sundial with Iron Gnomon
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-carved in Italy, this beautiful marble sundial has a turned iron gnomon that mirrors a thin twisted rope molding along the outer edges. Beneath the gnomon attachment are colored inserts that form a blue, red, yellow, and green compass rose, providing a colorful contrast to the cream marble with subtle tan and gray veining.
As the earth rotates on its axis, the gnomon casts a shadow onto the marble which is incised with Roman Numerals on a stylized scroll. Directly under the tip of the angled gnomon is “XII”, indicating noon. The numbers to the left of XII run counterclockwise, starting with “VI”. On the opposite side, the numerals continue in a counterclockwise manner, terminating in a second “VI” (which would be PM if the sundial...

Pair 18th Century French Creamware Lions Hand Painted Circa 1790
Located in Katonah, NY
This rare and charming pair of 18th-century French creamware lions was made circa 1790.
Each lion reclines atop a tall rectangular base decorated with rich cobalt-blue swags, bright yellow tassels, and vivid green trim.
The forms are bold and expressive. The lions' open mouths are painted in soft pink, and their manes are rendered in vibrant yellow and lined with dark brown, lending them an animated, almost theatrical presence.
The lions rest on what appear to be stylized, draped cushions, adding a sense of comfort and reality.
Their wide-eyed expressions and exaggerated features give the pair a whimsical character that blends elegance with humor—a hallmark of late 18th-century French design.
Unmarked but unmistakably French in style, these figures make a striking decorative statement. Whether placed on a mantel or console, they command attention and offer a playful counterpoint to more serious classical forms.
Dimensions: 6.5 inches tall x 6.75 inches long x 4.5 inches wide
Condition: Excellent
Price: $2,300
Decoration: Painted in yellow, cobalt, green, pink, and brown with molded drapery and tassel detail
Material: Creamware pottery
Style: French Neoclassical with Folk Art elements
Origin: France
Date: Circa 1790

Background of creamware
Creamware is the name given to a type of earthenware pottery initially made from white clays from Dorset and Devonshire combined with an amount of calcined flint.
Creamware was first produced in England sometime before 1740. Foremost among the pioneers of creamware in the Staffordshire Potteries was Thomas Whieldon. The young Josiah Wedgwood partnered with Thomas Whieldon from 1754 to 1759. When Wedgwood left to set up his own business, he immediately directed his efforts to developing creamware.
Around the same time, in the mid-18th century, French potters developed their creamware known in France as "Faience Fine...

12th Century Sandstone Zodiac Sundial
Located in Vosselaar, BE
A impressive and intriguing Spanish Zodiac dating back to the Romanesque period. This architectural fragment would originally have been part of the facade of a aristocratic house or the inner walls of a cloister. Knowledge of the Zodiac was the privilege of the upper classes and only kept alive trough the efforts of monks who safeguarded (and hid at the same time) books and manuscripts since antiquity.
This example is very rare, not only because of its age and size but also because it combines a Zodiac with a sundial. It is executed with great care and eye for proportion.
The sculpture was originally made out of two vertical slabs tightly positioned next each other. We fixed both stones together and finished with a natural mortar in between as they did in the 12th century...
