About the Item

This rare and magnificent bas relief panel by Rudolf Mayer entitled "Handel Und Industrie" or "Work and Industry," makes fascinating use of German workers and a Native American to represent trade and Industrial Production in turn-of-the-century Germany. To the left is a young potter and an older blacksmith with a sailing ship in the background and to the right is a dignified Indian warrior, accepting compensation for his pelts. The jumble of European and American imagery is fascinating -- the presence of the Indian in loincloth illustrates the German fascination with Native Americans, though ironically he is shown accompanied by a German Shepherd! The relief's large size suggests that it was meant to hang in an institution or commercial setting; it is molded metal with a bronze patina.

"Algernon Sullivan Plaque, " Rare Bas Relief with Nude Figures by Jules Roine

By Jules-Edouard Roiné 1

Located in Philadelphia, PA

This rare and important relief sculpture honors Algernon Sydney Sullivan, one of the most admired and respected attorneys and civic leaders active in New York in the late 19th century. Born a Hoosier, he moved to New York by 1860, and though an ardent abolitionist, felt honor-bound to step forward to defend the sailors of the Confederate ship Savannah, captured by the Union early in the Civil War. He served in the public sector for a decade and fought the Tweed gang. Later, Sullivan created two of the more important and influential law firms in New York in his era -- one of them, Sullivan and Cromwell, continues today -- but he always remained supportive of the poor who could not afford to retain an attorney for legal assistance. In his honor, the Sullivan Fountain was erected in Van Cortlandt...

Austrian 19th Century Patinated Bronze, Giltwood and Ebony Wall Plaque

Located in West Palm Beach, FL

An exceptional and most decorative Austrian 19th century patinated bronze, giltwood and Ebony wall plaque signed K. Sterrer. The striking wall decor is centered by the wonderfully executed patinated bronze plaque depicting a handsome sculptor in his atelier draped in a flowing garment working on a bust of a woman resting on a stool while holding his hammer and chisel. He is standing on a wall bracket like element with an impressive open winged eagle above an acorn finial, a tied carpenter's square and a tied bell hammer with a caliper and fine foliate branches at his feet. In the background is a beautiful maiden also draped in a wonderful flowing garment siting with her legs crossed on the plinth of a capital where another maiden, possibly a statue, is standing with a globe and sextant in her hand with plaques, busts, wings and curtains above. The plaque is set within an elegant mottled giltwood frame with beautiful richly carved wrap around berried laurel bands with a fine angled ebonized Fruitwood border. All original gilt and patina throughout. Karl Sterrer...
