**Set of 3, 19th Century Allegorical Reverse Glass Paintings** This captivating set of **three 19th-century allegorical reverse glass paintings** presents richly detailed narratives imbued with symbolism and classical themes. Each painting is executed in the traditional reverse glass technique, providing a smooth and reflective surface that enhances the vibrant palette and fine detailing. 1. **Painting 1 (Left Panel):** This scene portrays a dramatic encounter, likely a moment of judgment or persuasion, set against a distant landscape. A figure in a flowing blue robe gestures emphatically toward a well-dressed couple, perhaps symbolizing conflict, intervention, or moral decision-making. The background includes a sweeping view of the countryside, with figures in the distance adding depth and context. 2. **Painting 2 (Center Panel):** The central panel features a pastoral scene steeped in allegorical significance. A central figure dressed in red, resembling a shepherd, commands attention under a radiant sunburst. Surrounding characters appear in moments of tension and repose, including a reclining figure and a soldier-like character. This composition evokes themes of guidance, struggle, and divine providence, with the bright sky and natural elements reinforcing the allegorical tone. 3. **Painting 3 (Right Panel):** The final panel depicts an intimate interior scene, with two seated women engaged in conversation, one gesturing emphatically as a standing male figure observes. The setting includes detailed furnishings, such as a writing desk, a red draped curtain, and objects hinting at scholarly or domestic pursuits. This tableau may represent themes of wisdom, counsel, or moral reflection, supported by the characters' thoughtful expressions and elaborate dress. Each painting is framed in its **original dark wooden frame**, complementing the vibrant colors and enhancing their display value. The set embodies the **19th-century European fascination with allegory and storytelling**, making it a significant piece for collectors of reverse glass art...

Basilius Besler Spurge, Glasswort & Pennywort Botanical Engraving, 1613 Original antique hand-colored copper engraving from Basilius Besler’s celebrated Hortus Eystettensis, published in Eichstätt and Nuremberg in 1613. This magnificent botanical plate depicts three plants identified beneath the image as: I. Cataputia vulgaris II. Parietaria sylvestris III. Nummularia Traditionally described as spurge, glasswort and pennywort, the plants are presented on a monumental scale, with the large central specimen surrounded by two more delicate flowering plants. The composition combines remarkably precise botanical observation with the decorative elegance for which Besler’s work is renowned. Basilius Besler (1561–1629) was a Nuremberg apothecary and botanist. His Hortus Eystettensis was created to document the extraordinary gardens of Johann Konrad von Gemmingen, Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt, at Willibaldsburg. First published in 1613, the work is considered one of the greatest achievements in botanical illustration and one of the most spectacular natural history books of the 17th century. A particularly attractive impression with strong, fresh hand coloring. Text is printed on the verso and is faintly visible through the paper.

Spetchley park, Bargello, silk, bed curtains adapted into wall hangings in the 19th century • The use of silk, patterning and size suggests that these striking Bargello hangings were almost certainly conceived as bed curtains. In the Green Chamber at Parham House the State Bed is hung with Bargello curtains, pelmets and valences c1620. Like the Parham bed curtains, the Spetchley Park bed curtains have two horizontal pattern repeats in each drop. Needless to say, surviving bed curtains from this period are exceptionally rare as they had value as hangings and for upholstering domestic objects when removed from the bed. • The Spetchley Park bed curtains are really beautiful and luxurious. They were made as elite objects and have not lost their gravitas or their character and charm. • The Spetchley Park bed curtains were adapted into wall hangings in the 19th century. They are versatile and could easily be reinstated as curtains or panels within larger curtains. • Bargello work has a classic timeless quality to it and blends with most decorative schemes whether period or contemporary Each panel is made from two sections of bargello. The step (pattern) comprising two rows of short vertical stitches over two threads of graduating numbers of stitches up and down with two rows of long vertical stiches over six threads of graduating numbers of stitches up and down. Worked in graduating shades of blue, green, brown, red, tan and ivory silks on a hessian ground. The four edges of each hanging are faced with a 19th century, dusky pink fan...

Splendid 17th-century Italian painting by unknown artist, but certainly a follower of Caravaggio, relying on style and drawing. The painting has a very beautiful gilded wooden frame, with a subtle greek with spheres and an overlying rectangular frame with sinuous flowers on each corner, very elegant and beautiful. The painting depicts one of the most depicted religious scenes ever, the scourging of Christ, and is entirely done in oil on copper. The scourging of Jesus is an episode narrated in the Gospels (Mk15:15-16; Mt27:26-27; Lk23:16-26; Jn19:1-17[1]). Scourging is a flogging, particularly bloody, by means of sticks, rods or cat-o-nine-tails, the latter instrument consisting, in the Roman typology, of a short stick to which were secured several strings ending in metal claws, leads and bone splinters that caused tremendous lacerations and fractures to the tortured person. Chains are used in this scene, both to immobilize Jesus Christ and to flog him, as we can see in the upper right hand of the scourger. According to some personal research, it turned out that the actual scourging of Christ was mostly depicted at the column, while this Christ is on the ground, so presumably Christ here is scourged during the Way of the Cross at one of those stages where he fell. The painting has a very dark coloring, which is why this painting is believed to faithfully follow Caravaggio's style of dry, authoritarian brushstrokes. The painting shows a figure agonizing on the ground that continues to receive beatings and floggings of all kinds, representing Christ; his face is crucified in a loquacious expression of pain, he turns his eyes to heaven as if to invoke God, but at the same time those same eyes admonish the wickedness and arrogance inherent in humanity. Christ has one hand resting on the ground in the act of holding himself, while the other takes a completely unnatural stance against the barren ground. His body appears hardened to wanting to parry the blows, his legs are curled up on his knees as he takes kicks from the soldier above him. Christ is depicted pinned down from the neck with a very large and strong black iron bolt held by the other soldier. The soldier on the right in the foreground wears a one-shoulder tunic with an orange tunic and blue pants. On his feet he wears gray shoes, at his waist he has a belt with an iron helmet...
