Expressive pair of Italian sterling silver clown figures by Sorini, Arezzo, late 20th century. Crafted in solid sterling silver with vivid polychrome enamel decoration, the composition depicts two highly theatrical circus clowns rendered with exaggerated proportions and animated gestures. One figure balances a miniature unicycle while the second presents a stylized flower connected by an elegant silver wire element, creating a playful interaction between the two sculptures. The figures exemplify the whimsical and technically refined silver production associated with the Tuscan silversmithing tradition of Arezzo during the second half of the 20th century. Their sculptural modeling, bright enamel palette, and humorous character place them within a broader lineage of collectible Italian decorative silver objects that merged craftsmanship with postmodern fantasy aesthetics. Both figures are marked “925” with Italian assay marks and retain engraved Sorini signatures to the reverse. A charming and unusual decorative ensemble, ideal for collectors of Italian silver, circus memorabilia...

Dramatic Pair of Silver Jousting Knights on Horseback Sculptures. Sculptures depict armored jousting knights mounted on caparisoned horses, captured in mid-charge with lances extended and swords at their sides. These works exemplify the romantic Historicism movement of the late 19th/early 20th centuries, when master silversmiths revived medieval themes with extraordinary craftsmanship. Each knight is rendered in full plate armor, complete with visored helmet, articulated breastplate, gauntlets, and decorative plumes. Both figures grasp long spears in forward motion while finely cast swords rest at their hips. The horses are equally detailed, shown in dynamic stride with raised forelegs, their armor and saddlecloths embellished with heraldic shields and ornate motifs. The sculptural bases are equally impressive, adorned with relief crests, cartouches, and gothic tracery. This era saw a resurgence of medieval tournaments and courtly imagery in art and decorative objects. Apparently unmarked but without a doubt Hanau Germany silver...

Completely hand-crafted in 18th century Spain, this sculpture of the Virgin Mary of Immaculate Conception stands 1.5 meters / 5 feet tall, is topped by a silver halo / crown, and was most certainly created for devotional purposes, to be displayed in a church or chapel. Besides its impressive size, this sculpture is an excellent, truly museum-quality example of the Spanish “Estofado” polychrome technique, developed during the Gothic period to imitate rich brocade fabrics. The finely carved “fabric” areas of the sculpture would be first covered in gesso, and then a layer of gold leaf would be applied. The gold leaf would then be painted over with various colors of tempera paints. Once dry, the painted surface would be incised or scratched away in patterns, revealing the gold beneath. The sculpture was professionally restored in 2022 by a firm that is often contracted by the Spanish government to work on historic building interiors and museum pieces. The virgin was carefully cleaned, repaired and its condition stabilized. A complete and fully-illustrated restoration report will be included with purchase. Often confused with the virgin birth of Jesus, the belief that the Blessed Virgin Mary herself was conceived “immaculately” without original sin has been variously defended and debated within the Catholic Church since the pre-Middle Ages. For centuries, artists struggled to create an acceptable visual representation of this highly abstract concept, in part taking inspiration from the Book of Revelation and other scriptural sources. In this case, we see the Virgin standing on a half moon (biblically inspired, though also an ancient symbol of chastity) with her long natural hair loose down her back, another indication of purity. Both her white tunic and flowing blue mantle...

An exceptionally large and rare French Art Deco original bronze sculpture circa 1927 by a well known artist Georges Lavaroff (1895-1991) It's quite uncommon to find this very large size and notably featuring the silver and parcel gilt finish. The artwork features a majestic female nude, adorned with a stylized cloak in alternating stripes of gold and silver, which showcases a pyramid shape. The Egyptian goddess is depicted as an undraped figure with arms outstretched above her head, holding a crescent moon. She wears a north star headdress that adds to her regal appearance. The cloak is embellished with stars and a comet, and the female figure rests on a bed of stylized clouds. The sculpture is presented on its original black and gold marble base. All of these attributes add to the uniqueness and value of the artwork, making it even more remarkable and sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts. Water bottle shown for scale. Documentation : Les bronzes Art Deco de Georges Lavaroff, sculpteur Russe a Paris 1930 Kastelyn et Mazzucotelli. Georges Lavaroff was born in Sibera in 1895. He studied medicine and painting.

A striking Colonial Peruvian devotional sculpture depicting the Virgin of the Rosary, carved in maguey wood and presented with an impressive antique silver crown and richly layered textiles. Created within the artistic traditions of the Andean world, the sculpture reflects the distinctive fusion of Spanish Baroque devotional models and local craftsmanship that characterized religious art in Colonial Peru. Particularly noteworthy is the use of maguey wood, a lightweight material traditionally employed in Andean sculpture and strongly associated with the religious imagery produced in Peru and the Cuzco region. The figure displays a serene and expressive face, glass eyes, delicately modelled hands and a commanding vertical presence. Its imposing silhouette is enhanced by elaborate period and later textiles, recreating the appearance these devotional images would have presented in churches, chapels and private oratories throughout the colonial period. The sculpture is accompanied by a substantial antique Peruvian silver...

This stellar powerful and conversational silvered bronze and sterling silver limited edition abstracted Love sculpture was commissioned by Christofle and designed and executed by a young Chinese woman artist named Xiao Hui Wang. She is a very accomplished and talented artist of photography sculpture, design and media art. She has exhibited internationally and has won numerous awards. Aside from all those talents she is a socialite, playwright, architect and author. This is the first time in Christofle history that a young Chinese artist, albeit a woman was asked to create this commission. She was a very special choice for Christofle. It is signed and numbered on the bottom. It is signed with the artists name not terribly legible, then Christofle then 08/66 then France. The base is very heavy and is sterling silver. The top is silvered bronze and was lacquered. The base cannot be lacquered because it is sterling silver so it will tarnish from time. You will be able to polish it. We have not seen another one on line or anywhere else. The original monumental sculpture was first created on the occasion of the Shanghai Expo and stands elegantly in monumental form at the flagship Hilton in Singapore. This is a great symbol of how the masters of silver which are Christofle have transcended the art of the table to the art of the living in sensuality. This is stellar sensual and sexy sculpture that will elicit conversation. It took over 40 hours to create just one. It created reflections of magnitude from the surface and each angle is a different representation. It is extremely heavy and came in its own crate from Paris. It is a piece de resistance of a great sculpture no doubt. This must be trucked because of its weight. This will need a great pedestal in your home or can sit on a large monumental cocktail...

Rare pair of bronze sculptures by Emile Hebért. Fine quality silvered and gilt bronze figures of a warrior woman and a poet women dressed accordingly with military attire and poetic words. Signed and foundry marked with the G. Servant mark. Pierre-Eugène-Emile Hébert, French, (1828 - 1893). A native Parisian, Hébert apparently lived and worked in the capital until his death. He was born in 1828, and studied sculpture privately, with his father Pierre (1804-1869) and Jean-Jacques Feuchère (1807-1852), both of whom pursued modestly successful careers in the Salon and as public sculptors beginning in the 1830s. Hébert learned extensively from their very divergent paths. Whereas Pierre Hébert...
