Stunning Hand Carved Art Deco Era Bust Sculpture of an Olympian w. Laurel Wreath
By Otto Poertzel 1
Located in Lisse, NL
Solid wooden bust of an Olympic champion by (professor) Otto Poertzel (1876 - 1963). This stunning bust of a young male athlete is of museum quality and condition. Both the geometrical design of the wooden base and the fresh and energetic look and feel of this young male Olympian breath the spirit of the roaring twenties. You will hardly ever come accros a better proportioned, a more realistic or more 'soulful' bust than this wonderfully patinated athlete. It takes an incredibly skilled artisan to be able to create a piece of this quality, because it simoultaniously breathes both energy and serenity. For the mouth, nose, eyes and ears to also be of such perfection makes this antique an...

Italian Mid Century Poker Set Bottle, 1960's
By Gucci
Located in Albano Laziale, Rome/Lazio
This rare item is designed as a bottle and hides a poker set inside and is a real collectors item. All chips and markers are in place as well as well as the original dice. The bottle is made in wood and decorated with cow hide. We had an exact bottle like this previously produced in 1962, albeit with a little bit different design on the bottle that was stamped Gucci as seen in the pictures. This one does not have a mark that says Gucci but is similar inside on all parts. If you want to see more pictures of that piece let us know. The three last pictures are of the Gucci poker...
