Large pair of Swedish gilt metal and engraved glass mirrors after Precht Swedish, 19th Century Height 132cm, width 75cm, depth 5cm Crafted in 19th century Sweden, the design of this elegant pair of mirrors is after the work of the Precht family. Burchard (d.1738), Gustav (d. 1763) and Christian (d. 1779) Precht were synonymous with 18th century mirror production in Sweden and crafted exceptional pieces for the Swedish court. Mounted on an ebonised wood backing, the front of the mirrors is adorned with gilt metal frames and engraved glass detailing. The egg and dart motif is used for the gilt metal frames. The glass is engraved with floral and scrolling patterns, in between which are gilt metal mounts of a similar design. Centering each mirror is a large glass plane. Surmounting the mirror is a shaped, gilt metal, and engraved glass panel with adornments like the ones below. Topping these are gilt metal vases filled with rich bouquets. Celebrating the work of 18th century Swedish mirror...

Title: Ancient Bosphorus and Byzantium Map by Ambroise Tardieu, 1825 Description: Original antique engraved map of the Bosphorus and ancient Byzantium, titled “Plan du Bosphore de Thrace,” engraved by Ambroise Tardieu for the atlas accompanying Jean-Jacques Barthélemy’s Voyage du jeune Anacharsis en Grèce. This detailed historical map depicts the Bosphorus, the strategic waterway connecting the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara, with ancient Byzantium – present-day Istanbul – prominently shown at its southern entrance. Both the European and Asian shores are rendered in considerable detail, identifying ancient settlements, temples, rivers, forests, harbours and geographical landmarks. Byzantium appears opposite Chalcedon, while the Propontis, or Sea of Marmara, is shown to the south and the Pont-Euxin, or Black Sea, to the north. Of particular interest is the inset at lower right titled “Plan Particulier de Byzance,” providing a separate detailed plan of ancient Byzantium. It identifies the fortified city, harbour, temples, public buildings and other features associated with the ancient settlement. The map is an attractive combination of classical geography and early 19th-century cartography and is particularly appealing for collectors interested in Istanbul, Constantinople, the Bosphorus, ancient Greece and the eastern Mediterranean.
