2007 Auto Union Type C Pedal Car                                                                    - Entered from the Gilder Group Collection - No. 28 of 999 produced worldwide Christmas may still be several months away, but will no doubt spring to the mind of many a doting parent when they see this miniature masterpiece - number 28 of just 999 half-size pedal car versions of the all-conquering Auto Union Type C 'Silver Arrow' of the late 1930s. These beautiful mini replicas were built by Audi's fabled Quattro GmbH division and unveiled to great acclaim at the 2006 Paris Salon. Would-be drivers don't require the talent of a Rosemeyer or Stuck, just a pair of willing feet and a body under 1.35 metres tall. The pedal cars were born from Audi's search for a signature piece to spearhead its lifestyle collection. The Type C was already one of the best-selling period models in the company's miniature range and it was realised a pedal car version would ably mirror the company's heritage on a far larger scale. The technical drawings originated in the company's own tool shop and each example comprises no less than 900 components. The spaceframe chassis and bodies were hand-crafted in aluminium and trimmed in leather. There are seven forward speeds, a hydraulic disc brake and wood-rimmed steering wheel that can be removed to aid entry - just like the full-size originals.

ARTHUR JACQUES LEDUC (1848 – 1918): NESSUS AND DIEANEIRA depicting the centaur Nessus carrying Dieaneira on his back, on a rectangular base, signed, missing sceptre 72cm high This popular story from Greek Mythology teaches us about a wild centaur named Nessus who attempts to violate Dieaneira as he ferries her across the river Euenos. Heracles hearing his wife’s screams, shoots Nessus with a poisoned arrow, which pierces his chest. As he lays dying, Nessus persuades Dieaneira to take a sample of his blood, telling her that a potion of it will ensure Heracles fidelity to her forever. Later, when Heracles casts aside Dieaneira in pursuit of a princess, she attempts to win him back by soaking his tunic in the potion. The centaur's toxic blood burns Heracles to death. In despair, Dieaneira committs suicide. The Bronze Revival The desire for porcelain, which had driven out the fashion for bronze statuettes in the 18th century, took a change in direction. The popularity of Sevres biscuit reproductions by leading sculptors energised the interest, making way for resurgence in bronze. Between 1820 and 1900 there was a combination of contrasting artistic ideals. Traditional representations of biblical and mythological subjects found themselves challenged by the need to portray more realistic subject matter, rather narrating what was happening to the people of the time. Sculptures depicting figures weighed down by grief, slavery, and fear of god exposed the harsh conditions of existence for the common person in the 19th century. Another transition was that it was now the bronze foundries, organised into an association, who were in control of production, as they often held the sculptor under contract. If a sculpture was favourably received on public exhibition at the Paris Salon, the artist would either commission the foundry to produce an edition for sale, alternatively the foundry would buy the rights to make an edition, thus democratising the art form and making it more attainable to the general public. La Maison Barbedienne was the most significant French manufacturer of bronze sculpture and works of art during the 19th century. Founded in 1834 by Ferdinand Barbedienne, the company employed over 400 workers housed under one roof at the factory on Rue de Lancry. This included a design studio for the drawing, study and composition of models, a sculpture studio for plaster, wood and marble, and a workshop for the mathematical reduction and replication of sculpture invented by Achille Collas, amongst others. This golden age ended at the turn of the century when the small industrial sculpture gradually lost its allure with the emergence of new demands for innovation from customers and moderation by sculptors. Following Barbidiennes death in 1892, the firm was carried on by his nephew Gustave Leblanc until 1952, which reflected the general depreciation for the bronze art. T.D.

Sicily, Selinos AR Tetradrachm. Circa 455-415 BC. Artemis driving slow quadriga right, holding reins in both hands, Apollo standing on her right, discharging an arrow; barley grain in exergue / River-god Selinos standing left, sacrificing with phiale over flaming altar, holding laurel branch in left hand, cock before altar, bull behind to left, standing on pedestal decorated with laurel garland, surmounted by selinon leaf; ΣΕΛΙΝΟΝΤΙΟΝ around. W. Schwabacher, Die Tetradrachmenprägung von Selinunt, MBNG 43, 1925, 18 (Q8/S23); SNG ANS 698; Rizzo 3, pl. XXXIII. 16.88g, 27mm, 6h. Extremely Fine. Beautiful old tone with gold highlights around the devices. From the Ambrose Collection; Ex Gorny & Mosch 199, 10 October 2011, lot 81; Ex UBS 67, 5 September 2006, lot 5438. Selinos was one of the first Sicilian cities to issue coins, commencing c. 540-530, striking staters probably initially on the Corinthian standard, but later on the Attic. The early staters, which depicted a large selinon (celery) leaf as the obverse type, were eventually superseded by Syracusan-inspired chariot designs such as the present type, which retain the early emblem of the city on the reverse as an adjunct symbol. Two other subordinate elements of the design are present which have attracted considerable attention - the cockerel before an altar, and the bull set upon a platform. Since the bull and its platform vary considerably in form and style from one die to the next, a local statue is ruled out as a possibility. A. H. Lloyd (N.C. 1935) considered these two symbols to represent the long-standing friendship of Selinos with Himera, since the cockerel was the principal type of Himera (see lot 163), and he identified the bull as the infamous brazen bull of the tyrant Phalaris of Akragas, in which he is said to have roasted his enemies alive, on the basis that Himera was one of the important acquisitions of Phalaris in his quest to become master of Sicily. Both symbols are rendered in exquisite detail, the miniature bull easily the equal of any Thourians. The principal element of the reverse however is a real tour de force. The figure is the river-god Selinos, portrayed as an idealised nude youth holding a phiale and carefully detailed laurel branch, set with a wreath of laurels about his brow. The level of anatomical detail lavished on this depiction of the river-god is nothing less than sublime; from the toned calves and well-built thighs and torso, to the rippled skin above the knee and the hollow in front of the elbow, no effort has been spared on the part of the engraver. We should not be in any doubt that the individual responsible for this masterpiece was certainly in the first rank of die engravers active in mid-late fifth century Sicily.

Diademed head right / BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY, Apollo seated to left on omphalos, holding arrow and resting left hand on bow which is set on ground; monogram in each outer field. Newell, ESM 177; SC 379.6; HGC 9, 128g. 17.14g, 30mm, 7h. Extremely Fine. Well struck and centred; engraved in very fine style and very well preserved for the type. Ex Numismatik Lanz 112, 25 November 2002, lot 229; Ex Münzen und Medaillen Basel list 530, 1990, no. 4. Antiochos I was the son of Seleukos I and Apama, Seleukos' Persian wife. His date of birth is unknown, but was probably circa 320 BC as he was old enough to lead the Seleukid cavalry at the battle of Ipsos in 301. When Seleukos was assassinated in 281, Antiochos was probably in Ekbatana, where he had maintained court ruling the eastern satrapies on behalf of his father since 294. With his accession, Antiochos faced immediate attacks by Ptolemy II in Asia Minor and revolts of the cities of Syria. He left his eldest son, Seleukos, as governor of the eastern satrapies and marched west to meet the threats, which he soon overcame. However, it was not long before his attention was once again drawn to disturbances, this time from a menacing force of warlike Celtic tribes that had crossed over the Hellespont in the winter of 278/7 and invaded Asia Minor, and also shortly thereafter, renewed hostilities with Ptolemy II (First Syrian War, 274-271 BC). After defeating the Celts and receiving the title of Saviour (Soter) by the Greek cities of Asia Minor, Antiochos concluded an uneasy truce with Ptolemy which allowed him to focus on public relations and administrative work in Asia Minor. His subsequent reign was relatively peaceful, with the exceptions of sedition by his son and co-regent, Seleukos, whom he was forced to execute and replace with his younger son, the future Antiochos II, and the loss of northwest Asia Minor to Eumenes I of Pergamon. The figure of Apollo seated on the omphalos gained prominence under Antiochos, publicizing his supposed descent from the god, and became the characteristic reverse type for most Seleukid precious metal coinage down through the reign of Antiochos IV.

Marc Antony AR Denarius. Antioch or military mint travelling with Canidius Crassus in Armenia, 37 BC. ANTONIVS•AVGVR•COS•DES•ITER• ET•TERT, bare head right / IMP•TERTIO•III•VIR•R•P•C, Armenian crown, decorated with three stars over crossed bow and arrow. Crawford 539/1; CRI 297; RSC 195; Sydenham 1205; Kestner -; BMCRR East 172. 3.76g, 20mm, 5h. Extremely Fine. Very Rare; in remarkably high state of preservation for the issue. Sear suggests that this type marks the successful invasion of Armenia in 37 BC by Antony’s general Canidius Crassus, which was undertaken as a prelude to the Triumvir’s attack on Parthia in the following year. This issue has a celebratory nature that was ultimately to be dashed by Artavasdes’ betrayal of the Romans at a most critical juncture, resulting in a disastrous defeat for Marc Antony. Sear also comments that the fine style of the engraving tends to suggest that this issue was struck by Antony at his headquarters in Antioch, rather than by a military mint travelling with Canidius Crassus in Armenia.
