Christophe Perlès
Set of Japanese porcelain with Kakiemon decoration, late 17th century The set consists of two dishes, two teapots and one covered bowl 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

Herwig Simons Fine Arts
Manierist Mascaron Italy, mid 16th century Istrian marble H 50 x W 40 cm An expressive Mascaron in Istrian marble of a lion's head holding a ring in his mouth. Istrian marble was widely used during the Renaissance, particularly in Venetian architecture, and its soft tones beautifully complement the intricate details of the lion's face and ring. This design is symbolic: lions represented strength, protection, and authority and gave the building grandeur, serving as a sculptural accent that elevates the aesthetic quality of the entrance or facade.

ulysses and his dog by joseph gott
Joseph Gott (UK, 1785–1860) Ulysses and his dog Life-size group in white Carrara marble H 185.5 cm Provenance: most certainly commissioned directly from the artist by Benjamin Rawson for the Nidd Hall Manor rebuilt in 1825; by descent: Elisabeth Rawson; by descent: Viscount Mountgarret (Sculpture still exhibited in 1902 in the Nidd Hall Manor); since 1989: property of Mr Alfred Brenner from the Brenner Verpackungen company in Germany Literature: T. Friedman and T. Stevens, Joseph Gott Sculptor, exh. cat., Temple Newsam House, Leeds and Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, 1972, p. 40, n° G40, pl. 39; F.S. Bonfigli, Guide to the studios in Rome... 1860, p.32 It depicts Ulysses, in a loincloth and cap, being recognised by his loyal dog Arg after a 20-year absence. This group or a plaster of this group was seen in Gott's studio in Rome by Bonfigli in 1860. Joseph Gott (1785-1860) was one of the most esteemed British sculptors of the early nineteenth century, gaining international recognition. He maintained close ties to Yorkshire through his patrons, particularly his second cousin Benjamin Gott, a wealthy Leeds industrialist. After relocating to Rome in 1822, he became part of a vibrant British artistic community. Known for his unique interpretation of classicism, Gott’s works often depicted charming, intimate subjects such as playful children and animals. His style combined classical influences with a romantic sensitivity, setting him apart from his contemporaries in Rome.
