Exceptional and Very Rare 18th-Century George III Thomas Chippendale Period Mahogany Bookcase *English, circa 1770 – all original and highly authentic* An outstanding and extremely rare 18th-century George III period mahogany bookcase, in the manner of Thomas Chippendale, a true statement piece that combines refined architectural design, exceptional craftsmanship and superb, entirely original condition. The upper section is crowned by an impressive broken arch pediment above a finely carved blind fret frieze, giving the bookcase great presence and elegance. Below, a pair of beautifully panelled cupboard doors, retaining their original brass escutcheons, key and fully working lock, open to reveal generous shelving, ideal for books or treasured objects. The lower section is equally distinguished, fitted with two short and three long graduated oak lined drawers, all retaining their original swan neck brass handles. The whole is raised on classic original blocked ogee bracket feet, which, together with the original panelled oak backboards, confirm the authenticity and integrity of this important piece. Made in England circa 1770, this bookcase displays a superb, rich mahogany colour and a warm, mellow patina developed over more than two centuries. The surfaces, proportions and details are all in remarkable original condition, clearly reflecting the skill of the Georgian cabinetmaker and the careful stewardship it has enjoyed throughout its life. Bookcases of this calibre, period and originality are exceptionally scarce on the market. A very fine example of Georgian library furniture in the Chippendale tradition, this piece offers a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely period, all authentic masterpiece that unites grandeur, elegance and practicality. A superb focal point for a drawing room, library or study, and an ideal choice for any serious collector or refined interior seeking a museum quality statement piece of outstanding 18th-century craftsmanship.

Master of Torcello Venetian Master active in the second half of the XV century. Crucifix. popolar wood with polychromy. Higth cm 40 x 38 x 3,5 An exceptional masterpiece of the Venetian Renaissance, this small, carved, polychrome wooden Crucifix is certainly attributable to the Master of Torcello, active in Venice in the second half of the 15th century. Work created for private use and devotion, certainly to be included in an "Altarolo", but absolutely similar to the larger known Crucifixes of the same manufacture, such as the one on the island of Torcello (Venice) in the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta.

Gabrielle MONTALD ♀ Née CANIVET, 1867 | 1942 Oiseau décoratif - Decorative bird - 1929 615 × 460 mm (sheet) | 64 × 48 cm (framed) Guoache and ink over gold ground on paper. Signed and dated l.r.: ‘G. Montald 29’. PROVENANCE Private collection, Belgium. RELATED WORKS Among Gabrielle Montald’s most significant autonomous bodies of work, the so-called Oiseau décoratif series occupies a central position. Although the motif appears as early as 1914, the majority of these works were produced between 1925 and the early 1930s. Following her international recognition at the 1925 Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, where her imaginative bird drawings were prominently exhibited, the series expanded in both scope and refinement. In 1927, three of the works shown in Paris were acquired by the Belgian government, marking the beginning of an institutional recognition that endures to this day. Rarely appearing on the market, a large part of Gabrielle Montald’s known oeuvre — including her textiles and bookbindings — is now preserved in Belgian museum collections.

After the antique, attributed to the Chiurazzi Foundry, Naples, second half 19th century. Bronze on original Rosso Antico marble socle Chiurazzi model no. 1, after the antique in the Museo Nazionale di Napoli (inv. 5618) – “Bronzo da Ercolano 1741” Previously misidentified as Plato Height: 70cm After the antique, Chiurazzi Foundry, Naples, second half 19th century A finely cast bronze by the Chiurazzi Foundry, Naples, after the celebrated antique excavated at Herculaneum in 1741 and now preserved in the Museo Nazionale di Napoli (inv. 5618). The model is recorded in the Chiurazzi Foundry catalogue as “N. 1 – Dionisio o Platone – Bronzo da Ercolano 1741”, indicating both the foundry’s internal model number and the Naples museum inventory of the original. The figure’s soft modelling, elaborate curls and bound taenia are characteristic of Hellenistic representations of Dionysus, though early scholars, struck by the introspective expression, also proposed identifications with Plato or other philosophers. Modern scholarship accepts the Dionysian attribution. Chiurazzi held exclusive rights to reproduce works from the Naples collections, issuing casts directly from museum models for export to collectors and institutions across Europe and America. This example, with its even dark patination and original Rosso Antico marble socle, reflects the exceptional quality for which the foundry became renowned. Provenance: Private collection at Chateau De Pesselières, France. Reference: Fonderia Chiurazzi, Napoli, catalogue no. 1 “Dionisio o Platone - Bronzo da Ercolano 1741.”

Jan Boeckhorst (Münster 1604-1668 Antwerp) Henri IV at the Battle of Ivry, 17th century Pen and Brown ink, watercolour and gouache, heightened with whith and red wash on paper 20 x 29.1 cm In 1622, Maria de' Medici signed a contract with Rubens for two series of twenty-four paintings. The first series depicted her own life story, the other the heroic deeds of her husband: Henri IV. As was his custom, Rubens worked on this commission together with some of his pupils and assistants. The successful king had been assassinated 12 years earlier whilst riding through Paris in an open carriage. He had brought an end to the fierce civil war between Protestants and Catholics and did not shy away from doing the heavy lifting on the battlefield himself. What was intended to be a tribute to one of France’s bravest leaders turned out to be a damp squib. Due to turmoil at court, the series about the famous battle near Paris remained unfinished. This dynamic and finely worked drawing captures the dramatic moment of the Battle of Ivry (1590), where King Henri IV led his forces to a decisive victory during the French Wars of Religion. Executed in pen and brown ink and enriched with watercolour and gouache, the composition is animated by vigorous movement and strong contrasts of light and shadow. The artist heightens the scene with touches of white and red wash, emphasizing the glint of armour, the energy of the horses, and the intensity of the clash. The central figure of Henri IV, mounted and illuminated, commands the composition, surrounded by swirling troops and fallen adversaries. Ethereal figures above the battlefield introduce a sense of divine favour, a motif often associated with royal propaganda of the period. Despite its relatively intimate scale, the sheet conveys remarkable grandeur and narrative force, making it a compelling example of late 16th‑ to early 17th‑century battle imagery. We are grateful to Stijn Alsteens of the Fondation Custodia for his attribution of the drawing to Jan Boeckhorst.
