Ottoman Costume Prints Pair, Imam & Court Official, Hand-Colored 1749 A refined and visually striking pair of 18th-century hand-colored engravings depicting figures from the Ottoman Empire, dated 1749. These elegant costume plates present, on one sheet, an Imam of the Great Mosque, richly dressed in flowing robes with fur trim and a distinctive turban, and on the other, a high-ranking court official or commander, posed with staff and ceremonial attire. Together, they form a beautifully balanced and complementary composition, ideal for display as a decorative pair. The engravings originate from a celebrated European publication documenting Ottoman court life and costume, produced during a period of heightened Western fascination with the East. Each figure is rendered with fine engraved detail and delicately enhanced with original hand color, capturing the textures of luxurious fabrics, the structure of ceremonial garments, and the dignified bearing of the subjects. The generous margins and visible plate marks further emphasize their authenticity and 18th-century origin. What makes this pair particularly desirable is the harmony between the two figures. The Imam, standing frontally with a calm, composed presence, contrasts elegantly with the more dynamic posture of the official figure, who leans slightly and engages the viewer with a sense of authority. The color palette—soft greens, purples, and warm neutrals—works cohesively, making the pair highly suitable for framing and interior placement. These prints are ideal for use as a statement piece above a console, in a study, or within a curated gallery wall. Their subject matter appeals to collectors of Ottoman history, costume prints, and decorative works on paper, while their aesthetic quality makes them equally attractive to interior designers seeking authentic antique elements. Note: Interior mockups shown are for inspiration only. The print is an original antique and is sold unframed. Condition is good for age, with light age toning, scattered spotting, and minor handling wear consistent with 18th-century paper. The sheets retain full margins and show the original plate marks. Colors remain fresh and attractive. Framing suggestions: These prints lend themselves exceptionally well to dark walnut or ebonized frames with wide ivory or warm off-white mats. A symmetrical side-by-side hanging enhances their visual impact, particularly in a refined, warm-toned interior. For a more contemporary setting, a clean gallery-style presentation with generous spacing will highlight their elegance.

Napoleon Bonaparte on Horseback, L’Empereur – French Hand-Colored Print, 1843 This striking 19th-century hand-colored print depicts Napoleon Bonaparte in one of his most enduring and carefully constructed visual roles: the calm, commanding emperor on horseback. Shown mounted on a poised grey horse, Napoleon is rendered in his characteristic attire—dark coat, bicorne hat, and the red sash of the Legion of Honour—projecting authority, discipline, and control. His composed posture contrasts with the dynamic movement of the horse, a visual device frequently used in Napoleonic imagery to suggest mastery over both men and circumstance. Behind him, attendants and officers follow at a respectful distance, reinforcing his position as supreme commander. The sparse landscape keeps the focus firmly on Napoleon himself, turning the scene into a timeless emblem rather than a specific battlefield episode. The caption beneath the image, “L’Empereur,” leaves no ambiguity about the subject and reflects the iconic status Napoleon held in French visual culture long after his fall. This print originates from *Histoire de l’Empereur Napoléon* by P.-M. Laurent de l’Ardèche, published in Paris in 1843 and illustrated after designs by Horace Vernet, the most influential Napoleonic painter of the 19th century. Vernet’s imagery played a crucial role in shaping the posthumous legend of Napoleon, blending historical reference with idealized representation. Such prints were intended both as historical illustrations and as objects of admiration, suitable for framing in bourgeois and official interiors. As an equestrian portrait, this work belongs to a long artistic tradition associated with power, leadership, and imperial legitimacy. It remains highly appealing to collectors of Napoleonic history, French military art...

Sergio Bustamante Signed Sterling Silver Sun and Moon Link Bracelet, Mexico, 1980s Dimensions: 7.5" L x 0.5" W Weight: 32 grams Marks: “925 MEX” and “DB-925” (Sergio Bustamante maker's mark) A sculptural, celestial-themed bracelet by celebrated Mexican artist Sergio Bustamante, crafted in sterling silver. The piece features alternating links of expressive sun faces and crescent moons, each individually modeled with Bustamante’s signature surrealist features. The three-dimensional sun medallions radiate stylized flames, while the moons are cast with distinct facial features, gazing thoughtfully to the side. This work is clearly signed with the Bustamante hallmark “DB-925” on the reverse of each sun element and also marked “MEX 925.” The bracelet fastens securely with a hidden hook-style clasp, consistent with mid- to late-20th-century Mexican artisan jewelry. A superb and rare example of Bustamante's wearable art, this bracelet stands out for both its craftsmanship and its whimsical yet mystical iconography—perfect for collectors of Mexican modernism or celestial-themed adornments. Further Documentation: DB-925 MEX This is a known signature mark associated with Sergio Bustamante’s sterling...

Diana of the Ephesians Antique Engraving, Montfaucon Antiquité Expliquée 1721 This original early eighteenth-century copper engraving depicts the famed Diana of the Ephesians (Artemis of Ephesus), one of the most recognizable and symbolically rich cult images of the ancient world. The plate originates from Bernard de Montfaucon’s monumental antiquarian publication *L’Antiquité expliquée et représentée en figures*, published in Paris in 1721, a foundational scholarly work that systematically documented classical antiquities and helped establish archaeology as an academic discipline. Montfaucon’s encyclopedic project sought to gather visual knowledge of ancient civilizations through carefully engraved illustrations based on surviving sculptures, coins, manuscripts, and earlier collections. This engraving presents the Ephesian Artemis in her distinctive archaic form: a rigid frontal figure crowned with a mural headdress, arms extended, and a body covered with symbolic registers. The multiple rounded forms across the torso—traditionally interpreted as fertility attributes—reflect the goddess’s role as a universal mother and protector of nature. Bands of animals, mythological creatures, and sacred motifs reinforce her association with cosmic order, fertility, and the natural world. Unlike the athletic huntress Artemis familiar from Greek sculpture, the Ephesian Diana represents an older Anatolian cult tradition absorbed into Greco-Roman religion. The engraving therefore documents not only a sculpture but also Enlightenment-era attempts to understand ancient religious symbolism through comparative study. Montfaucon’s precise linework and balanced composition exemplify the refined craftsmanship of Parisian copperplate engraving during the early 18th century, combining scholarly accuracy with strong decorative appeal. Today, engravings from L’Antiquité expliquée are highly regarded by collectors of classical antiquity, archaeology, and early academic illustration. The graphic symmetry and sculptural clarity make this image particularly suitable for interiors ranging from traditional libraries to contemporary gallery walls. This original antique engraving is offered unframed, allowing flexibility to select a frame that best suits the intended interior. Condition: Good antique condition with age-related toning and light discoloration to the paper, consistent with early eighteenth-century prints. Minor edge wear and handling marks confined mainly to the margins. Plate impression visible. Blank verso. Framing tips: A dark walnut or ebonized frame with a wide ivory mat enhances the classical presence of the figure. For a modern interior, a slim black frame with generous mat spacing creates a museum-quality presentation emphasizing the engraving’s symmetry.
