Crouching Venus
Crouching Venus

Crouching Venus

Located in London, GB

A partial marble statue of the goddess Venus crouching at her bath. The goddess kneels on her proper right knee, with her left raised towards her torso, which curves over both legs. Traces of the arms can be seen on the top of the left leg, where they would have rested to cover her nudity. The marble is carved delicately to create a supple softness across the goddess’s figure: the gentle folds of her stomach and rounded breasts with pert nipples establish the physical sensuality appropriate for the goddess of love. The torso has been meticulously polished, lending greater emphasis to the fleshly modelling, while the stone of the legs has been left rough. A single curled lock of hair remains where it falls over the left shoulder, although the head and both arms are now missing. Depictions of the goddess in this pose are typically known as ‘Crouching Aphrodite’ or the ‘Venus of Vienna’, and are modelled after a 2nd-century B.C. Greek original attributed to Doedalsas of Bithynia. Venus was the Roman goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation – the Roman variant of the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Venus was central to many religious festivals, and was revered in Roman religion under numerous cult titles. Some believed her to be a daughter of Jupiter, but according to Hesiod’s Theogony, Venus was created, or ‘born’, of the sea foam after the severed genitals of Uranus fell into the water. This latter explanation appears to be the more popular theory due to the countless artworks depicting Venus rising from the sea...

Antique Horse Sleigh Bells on Original Leather Collar, c. 1880–1900
Antique Horse Sleigh Bells on Original Leather Collar, c. 1880–1900

Antique Horse Sleigh Bells on Original Leather Collar, c. 1880–1900

Located in Hannover, DE

An exceptionally rare and highly decorative antique horse bell collar dating to approximately 1880–1900. This authentic harness ornament features seven hand-crafted bells mounted on its original padded leather collar, retaining a remarkable level of originality and historic character. Unlike the utilitarian bell collars commonly found on working horses, the refined construction, carefully proportioned bells, and superior materials strongly suggest that this example was created for ceremonial use, festive processions, winter sleigh rides, or special occasions. The overall quality is notably above that of standard agricultural equipment from the period. The collar is fitted with six smaller side bells and one substantially larger central bell, creating a visually balanced and acoustically impressive arrangement. The bells display a beautiful aged surface with an untouched patina developed over more than a century. The original red and cream padded lining remains present, adding further authenticity and visual appeal. Particularly noteworthy is the outstanding craftsmanship throughout. The leather construction, bell mounting, proportions, and finishing details reflect the work of a skilled maker and demonstrate a level of quality rarely encountered today. Complete original examples of this caliber have become increasingly difficult to find. The collar remains in original condition and exhibits age-appropriate wear consistent with over a century of use and storage. Two bells show damage resulting from age and historical use. One of these bells has been professionally stabilized using an industrial-grade adhesive suitable for metal restoration, preserving the visual integrity of the piece while respecting its historic character. The repairs and condition details are clearly shown in the accompanying photographs. Today, this piece represents not only an important example of equestrian history but also a striking decorative object ideal for collectors of antique horse tack...

19th Century French Copper Cake Mold with Fruit and Foliage Design
19th Century French Copper Cake Mold with Fruit and Foliage Design

19th Century French Copper Cake Mold with Fruit and Foliage Design

Located in LA CIOTAT, FR

A charming 19th-century French copper cake mold, beautifully shaped with a deeply embossed fruit and foliage motif. The central decoration depicts a stylized fruit surrounded by generous scrolling leaves, creating a particularly attractive relief when viewed from either side. The design is framed by a pronounced fluted border, giving the mold a strong sculptural presence typical of decorative antique French kitchenware. Crafted from copper, the mold has developed a rich, warm patina with variations in color that enhance its authentic character. The outer edge is reinforced with a contrasting metal rim, while the original suspension ring remains in place, allowing the mold to be hung when not in use. Such molds were both practical culinary utensils and decorative elements traditionally displayed in French kitchens. The surface shows oxidation, small scratches, discoloration and traces of use consistent with its 19th-century age. These signs have been intentionally preserved as part of the character and history of the piece. Today, this antique copper mold...
