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...

Antique Lion Figures French Creamware 18th Century
Located in Katonah, NY
We are thrilled to offer this exceptional pair of creamware lions, each elegantly resting on a tall base adorned with sumptuous swags of dark blue "curtains" with gleaming yellow tassels and trim.
Crafted in France, these figures are unparalleled and truly a masterpiece of 18th-century creamware.
They date back to the late 18th century, circa 1790. Each lion's head and mane is exquisitely painted with vibrant yellow and lined in striking midnight brown. Their mouths are painted in delicate pink, adding an extra touch of charm.
Not only are these lions a sight to behold, but they will also bring a touch of humor to your home. Their jovial expressions make it impossible not to laugh along with them.
Leisurely resting on cushions draped with rich fabric and tassels, these friendly lions exude a very French attitude, seamlessly blending formality and friendliness.
Placed on a mantel, they would undoubtedly be the focal point of any room, commanding attention, and admiration from all who see them. These lions are genuinely a one-of-a-kind treasure that is not to be missed.
Dimensions: 6.5 inches tall x 6.75 inches long x 4.5 inches wide
Condition: Excellent
Price: $2,300
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 of the pioneers of creamware in the Staffordshire Potteries was Thomas Whieldon. The young Josiah Wedgwood partnered with Thomas Whieldon from 1754-1759. 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...

Italian Carved Limestone Baluster Form Armillary Sundial with Circular Plinth
Located in Dallas, TX
Topped by a four-ring iron armillary sphere with a lancing arrow gnomon, this sundial is supported by a baluster form column. Hand-carved from Italian limestone, the light gray stone has developed a striking patina of green, dark gray, and brown and features some visible fossil inclusions (most noticeably to the entablature). The bulbous column, which has been embellished with several slender protruding rings and thick lobes of gadroon, sits on top of two demi-lune stones that form a circular base. Our Italian baluster form sundial would make a fantastic garden ornament in a garden, courtyard, or front yard...

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...
