Awarded as a polo trophy to a team which included the Maharajah of Ratlam, and decorated with Indian landmarks, this fantastic piece is a large gilt-metal, silver, and ebonised wood framed sporting trophy, dating to c. 1927. The landmarks include the Jama Masjid, Delhi, the Golden Temple, Amritsar and others, and these images are interspersed with images of deities on thrones, animals and portraits, centred by a monogram 'EI'.'

Metcalfe (No. 1), Captain C. T. I. Roark (No. 2), The Maharajah of Ratlam (No. 3), and Lt. Col. the Hon. J. D. Y. Bingham (Back), who won 6 goals to 5 in 1927 (recorded in one of the plaques on the wood frame).

- Very Large OphtalmotropeLocated in Peekskill, NYWhat is an ophthalmotrope? An ophthalmotrope is an apparatus for demonstrating the movements of the eye and the action of the different muscles which produce them, consisting essentially of a model eyeball to which are attached strings and pulleys to duplicate the line force of the muscles. We think this example is most likely French from the early 20th century. The base is marble with paw feet. It’s also quite large at well over 3 foot tall. This instrument is very complete. It also includes additional parts to set the mechanics up in a different way. In the pictures above the strings are attached to a keyboard. The alternative replaces the keyboard with string guide with a dozen hanging tubular weights. This is one of the largest and most decorative examples we have seen. I have only seen pictures of ophthalmotropes and never one this fine and complete. It’s as rare and impressive show piece. This item was also used in the movie Knives Out,Category
