18th Century Architectural Model of a Doric Column
Located in Richmond, London
An extremely rare, exquisite architectural model of a Doric column. England, third quarter of 18th century.
Why we like it
Exquisitely carved with accents in gold, this rare survivor from Britain’s golden era of Classical architecture may have been intended for an architect’s office or the study of a gentleman architect like Lord Burlington (1694–1753), famously known as the "Apollo of the Arts" and the "Architect Earl." Such exquisite decorative objects were copied from ancient Greek and Roman originals, which aspiring architects could view and sketch during their “Grand Tour” across Italy, Greece, the Ottoman Empire, and beyond.
The only comparable example we have encountered was a set of three columns previously owned by Sir Albert Richardson (1880–1964)—architect, historian, writer, artist, teacher, and former President of the Royal Academy—sold by Christie’s London, 19 September...

He was one of the most important sculptors of the Art Deco era.
Sculptures of Chiparus represent the classical manifestation of Art Deco style in decorative bronze and ivory sculpture.
Traditionally, four factors influenced his creative activity
*the Russian Ballets of Serge Diaghilev's, Nijinsky and Rubinstein
*ancient Egyptian art,
*French theatre, music halls and cabarets
*Early motion pictures and fashion magazines with dancers, stars and models
Which made him create figures with a long, slender, stylized appearance. like the faces of “Persian Dance” and the dress in “Starfish Girl” exactly reproduces the sketch for Goldfish's dress from the ballet “Underwater kingdom” by Lev Annensky.
After the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered in 1922, the art of ancient Egypt...

Large Scale Early 20th Century Shipbuilders Model of Sant'Antonio Steamship
Located in Gloucestershire, GB
A Highly Interesting Large Scale Shipbuilder's Model of the Sant'Antonio Steamship, Early 20th Century.
This intricate model was almost certainly made as a shipbuilder's model for presentation to the original owner of the vessel. The name plate identifies her as the Sant'Antonio and details on the funnels reading OES presumably refer to the name of the shipping firm who owned her at this point in time. The vessel herself must have been enormous and this model, probably made to scale, is extremely large but it is also highly detailed. See for example the details of the rigging, the winches, the porthole-type cabin windows and the series of lifeboats. There are functioning doors and latches, moving propellors and the original paintwork, vividly rendered in blue, red and white.
This piece is a beautiful example of early twentieth century model making, possibly made in Italy judging...
