Property of an American lady; acquired 1970s-1990s. For a similar example see the Crow Collection of Asian Art, Dallas, Texas, USA. The large mounted figure is Tipu Sultan, 1750-1799, ruler of the kingdom of Mysore. He was known as the Tiger of Mysore and engaged in expansionist attacks against his neighbours. He remained an implacable enemy of the British East India Company, bringing them into renewed conflict with his attack on British-allied Travancore in 1789. In the Third Anglo-Mysore War, Tipu was forced into the humiliating Treaty of Seringapatam, losing a number of previously conquered territories, including Malabar and Mangalore. He sent emissaries to foreign states, including Ottoman Turkey, Afghanistan, and France, in an attempt to rally opposition to the British. In the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War, the forces of the British East India Company, supported by the Marathas and the Nizam of Hyderabad, defeated Tipu and he was killed on 4 May 1799 while defending his fort of Srirangapatna. These brackets are closely modeled on the stone carvings on the famous Horse Mandapa in the temple of Srirangam, near Trinchinopoly. 27 kg total, 91.5cm including bracket (36"). [2] Fine condition.

Richard Karlovich Zommer (1866-1939) Oil on canvas board Central Asian scene of figures of elderly men seated on a Persian carpet by well, decorative blind archway door behind, signed in Cyrillic bottom right, 50cm x 35cm Richard Karlovich Zommer was born in 1866 in Munich but studied at The St Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts from 1884 receiving high acclaim. Most of his works were produced at the end of the 19th century where he spent much of his time in Asia on an archeological exhibition and where had also worked as an ethnologist. The beginning of the 20th century saw Zommer going to Georgia where he produced works showing everyday life occurrences mainly taken from his extensive walks in the Caucasus Mountains. There is often a clear narrative in his works. Zommer was a great champion of the art and managed to avoid Georgian pressure to take a governmental job, however during the Stalinist regime of the 1930's there was further pressure on Georgian intellectuals and artists and in 1939 Zommer was forced to leave Georgia and his whereabouts become unknown.
