Set of Chantilly porcelain with Kakiemon decoration, 18th century The set consists of one jar, one covered ewer, three cachepots, one cup and one saucer The term 'Kakiemon' is attributed to a group of Japanese porcelains whose characteristics are a subtle decoration in fine translucent overglaze enamels and a milky white unblemished body called 'nigoshide' in Japanese. Kakiemon porcelains were exported to Europe in large numbers where they were extremely popular. Compared with blue and white porcelains, Kakiemon was very expensive

bert de leeuw
Bert De Leeuw (Antwerp, 1926-2007) Gedenksteen voor een Onbekende, 1955 Mixed media on canvas H 128 x W 96 cm Titled, signed and dated on reverse of canvas 'Gedenksteen voor een Onbekende 55' Literature: Bert De Leeuw, Monografie, Antwerpen, uitgeverij Pandora, 1997, ill. p. 51 Bert De Leeuw was a self-taught artist, excelling as a painter, draughtsman, sculptor, and engraver. He began his career in advertising but switched to art full-time in 1962. Known for his abstract and informal style, De Leeuw's early works used thick, textured materials to evoke interstellar spaces. He was a co-founder of the influential ‘G58’ artist group in Antwerp, which played a pivotal role in post-war abstract art. Over time, he transitioned from painting to sculpture, focusing on geometric forms and public art. De Leeuw exhibited internationally, including at the Paris and Tokyo Biennales, and won multiple awards, including a 2nd prize from 'De Beers' for jewellery design. He was later honoured as a 'Knight of the Order' by Leopold II.

emile claus
Emile Claus (Sint-Eloois-Vijve 1849-1924 Astene) Girl in flower garden, 1896 Oil on canvas 35 x 27 cm Signed upper right 'Emile Claus' Signed and dated on reverse: Juni / IF / E.C. Provenance: collection Vullers, Brussels Literature: De Smet, J. e.a., Retrospectieve Emile Claus, exh. cat. (Ostend: PMMK, 1997); De Smet, J. e.a., Emile Claus en het landleven, exh. cat. (Ghent: MSK, 2009); Eeckhout, P., Retrospectieve tentoonstelling Emile Claus 1849-1924, exh. cat. (Ghent: MSK, 1974) A pioneer of luminism in Belgium, Emile Claus (1849-1924) often managed to capture the beauty of rural life in his works. In ‘Girl in flower garden’, this fascination is perfectly illustrated by the serene expression of the girl and the colourful flowers in the background, which merge in harmony.

luigi carrubba
Luigi Carrubba (Tunisia 1907-? Rome) Diana the Huntress, circa 1937 Bronze with black patina H 108 x L 100 x D 47 cm Signed 'Carrubba Luigi Roma Febbraio XV' Literature: E. Zorzi, Uno sguardo d'insieme alla XXI Biennale d'Arte di Venezia, in 'Le vie d'Italia turismo nazionale, movimento dei forestieri, prodotto italiano', XLIV, 6, 1938, p. 750 Luigi Carrubba, a Tunis-born sculptor who later settled in Rome, rose to prominence in the late 1930s, gaining recognition through major Italian art exhibitions. His works, including bas-reliefs and sculptures, were featured in events such as the Venice Biennale and regional exhibitions, where they were celebrated for their quality and scale. One of his notable sculptures, The Hunt, which may correspond to the work presented here (based on the similarity of subject and date) highlights Carrubba's mastery of dynamic forms and stylised bodies. This work exemplifies his skill in capturing movement and emotion through simple, refined lines. Carrubba continued to display works like Maternità and L’estate at the Venice Biennale, where he earned recognition amongst the emerging talents of the time.
