Antique Oriental Silver Box with Figural Engraving Handcrafted Qadjar Design
Located in Wembley, GB
Oriental Sterling Silver Box with Figural Engravings, Handcrafted Persian Design, 18th C. An exquisite Antique Qadjar Oriental silver box, delicately hand-engraved with detailed figural and floral scenes, evoking the opulence of West Asian (Persiann) artistry. Crafted in the 19th century, this circular box features a continuous frieze of courtly musicians and noble figures within arabesque cartouches, surrounded by intricate foliate borders that showcase the exceptional skill of traditional silversmiths. Measuring approximately 6 cm in diameter and weighing about 72 grams, the box’s refined decoration reflects themes of celebration, poetry, and love – central motifs in Persian miniature painting and metalwork. The lid, meticulously etched with a symmetrical medallion composition, enhances its aesthetic balance and visual harmony. Likely made for betel, tobacco, or jewellery storage, this piece embodies both functional and artistic elegance. Its time-worn patina and fine repoussé and niello-style detailing suggest careful handwork rather than machine production, typical of mid-19th-century Oriental craftsmanship. Perfect as a collector’s item or a refined gift, this silver box adds timeless charm and cultural depth to any curated display of Eastern decorative arts. Dimensions: 6 cm Weight: 72 g Origin: Middle East or Persia (19th century) Material: Silver (tested) Antique Persian Qajar Engraved...

A Superb and very rare Engraved Thomas Cole Mantle Clock
Located in London, GB
An Exceptional English Gilt Brass Fusee Mantel Clock Attributed to Thomas Cole London, circa 1835–1844 An exceptional and rare English fusee mantel or table clock, confidently attributed to Thomas Cole, one of the most important and innovative English clockmakers of the nineteenth century. Although unsigned by Cole himself, this clock may be safely attributed on stylistic, technical, and constructional grounds. The multi-layered architectural case, the distinctive horizontal hatched backgrounds to the engraving, and the extraordinary quality and density of the engraved decoration are all diagnostic features associated with Thomas Cole’s work, as documented by J. B. Hawkins. Taken together, these elements place the clock firmly within Cole’s oeuvre and distinguish it from contemporary London production. The heavy gilt brass case is of imposing sculptural form and is engraved throughout to an exceptional standard, from the base and feet to the arched front, pierced side panels, domed top, and upper mounts. This totality of engraving, executed with deep, confident cutting, is characteristic of Cole’s finest work and reflects his reputation as one of the most gifted designers and engravers of his generation. The clock is fitted with an eight-day single-chain fusee movement, housed behind a glazed arched door. As noted by Hawkins, the retailer’s engraving has been fitted into the available space on the completed clock, indicating that the piece was supplied by Cole as a finished work and retailed subsequently. The finely engraved silvered dial is of typical Cole form, with rich rococo and floral decoration, black Roman numerals, and elegant fleur-de-lys hands. This style of dial appears on numerous documented Thomas Cole clocks...

One Hour of the Night Bronze Sculpture by Joseph Michel Pollet
Located in NANTES, FR
"One hour of the night" Bronze sculpture with black brown patina depicting a stretching woman. It rests on an oval base imitating the rock. Signed on the terrace "Pollet". Signature of the founder "Gautier & Cie". Total height: 35.5 cm. 13.9in width: 25cm. 9.8in depth: 13cm 5.1in Weight: 3.5 Kg In very good condition, note a small patina wear on the elbow. Joseph-Michel-Ange Pollet born in Palermo on March 11, 1814 and died in Paris on January 1, 18711 is a French sculptor. Born in Palermo to French parents, Joseph-Michel-Ange Pollet studied sculpture in Italy with Bertel Thorwaldsen, Valerio Villareale and Pietro Tenerani. He came to Paris in 1836, then stayed in Ghent in 1838. After another stay in Italy from 1843 to 1845, he settled permanently in Paris and exhibited for the first time at the Salon of 1846.

In 1840, for the bicentenary of his death, he produced the bust of Rubens, the original plaster of which is kept at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium. In 1848, he presented at the Salon a large plaster statue...
