Lot 10
Ca. 200-300 AD.A bronze-cast phalera mount in the form of Cupid (Greek Eros) with fleshy features and curly hair. His cheeks chubby portray the features of youth, his stylised wings between his shoulders. An important object possibly a military phalera, with the upper body of Cupid in high relief. This was likely to have been worn on the breastplate of a soldier or formed part of a chariot fitting. Objects formed of bronze were ubiquitous in the Roman world, being used by the Roman military, for instance, for both practical and decorative purposes. The phalera is the sculptured disk (typically formed of bronze) on the breastplate, which was worn by Roman soldiers as a reward for the outstanding service, or as representation of military rank. In Roman mythology, Cupid (known as Eros to the Greeks) was the god of love. He is generally represented as an aesthetically chubby boy with wings, who carries a bow and a quiver of arrows. He is normally shown as a follower or acolyte of the goddess Aphrodite.Size: L:148mm (with stand) / W:110mm ; 735g.Provenance: Property of a North London professional; previously acquired on the UK art market in early 1990s.

New Kingdom, Dynasty 18-20, Ca. 1550-1070 BC.A fine Ancient Egyptian glazed faience ‘wedjat-eye’ amulet, more commonly known as the ‘Eye of Horus’, featuring a loop at the top for suspension, mounted in a 22kt gold oval eye-shaped pendant with suspension loop connected to a necklace. Horus was one of the most significant Ancient Egyptian deities, most commonly depicted with the head of a falcon, and the body of a man. The eye of Horus, also known as ‘Wedjat’, was an ancient symbol of protection, particularly for the afterlife, and was also used to deflect evil. For this reason, it was often worn or hung on the deceased at the burial. This symbol was highly influential in Egyptian life, with ancient sailors painting the image on the bow of their vessels to ward off evil.

Lot 475
Ca. 1550 AD.This sword could loosely be termed as a ‘Swept Hilted Rapier’ The hilt has no pommel as such, and the grip (which survives) resembles a modern kitchen knife handle flaring at one edge. The grip is textured and resembles a stag horn, three circular protrusions suggest that two halves of the grip may have been riveted together. The cross guard is roughly S-shaped. A portion of which forms a horizontal cross guard before dropping downwards, decoratively, parallel to the blade. The other end of the guard sweeps upwards and outwards, presumably to protect the fingers before coming to an abrupt halt, just before the flaring out of the end of the grip. The Pommel, Grip and Cross guard are very much an integrated unit on this rapier. The unit is completed by the addition of a further, knuckle bow, attached to the cross guard but hovering over the hilt, the whole circular plate is in line with the blade. The blade is one-sided, but sharply triangular in shape from the guard to the tip. There is some inlay into the blade, enhancing the value and prestige of an already valuable sword. Dating is difficult, but circa or later, the mid 1550’s is not, too far out. There is a little discoloration of the patina of the sword, there are some nicks into the acutely sharp blade, all in all the condition of this artifact is excellent. The item comes with an academic report written by Russel Scott; famous lecturer, reenactor, and expert of Viking and medieval artifacts.Size: L:1000mm / W:90mm ; 1.06KgProvenance: Property of a London private collector; formerly in a European collection; acquired from Peter Ing till collection in early 2000s (Vienna). Formerly in an old Austrian collection.
Lot 54
Late Period, Ca. 664-332 BC.A fine wedjat-eye amulet, also called the Eye of Horus, mounted in a 22kt gold eye-shaped pendant with a suspension loop connected to a modern necklace cord. Horus was one of the most significant Ancient Egyptian deities, most commonly depicted with the head of a falcon, and the body of a man. The eye of Horus, also known as "Wedjat", was an ancient symbol of protection, particularly for the afterlife, and was also used to deflect evil. For this reason, it was often worn or hung on the deceased at the burial. This symbol was highly influential in Egyptian life, with ancient sailors painting the image on the bow of their vessels to ward off evil. For similar examples, see Flinders Petrie, Amulets, Plate XXV.Size: L:21.2mm / W:16.7mm ; 4gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old British collection formed in the 1990s.
Lot 83
Ca. 100-300 AD.A wearable gold ring with an ellipsoid hoop widening at the shoulders, which are embellished with parallel grooves, and a bezel with inset oval garnet gemstone with an intaglio depicting a left-facing female bust, flanked by quiver and arrows; the latter lead to identifying this female portrait as a depiction of the Roman goddess Diana. Good condition, repaired. The item has undergone X-ray fluorescence analysis to confirm the metallurgical content suggesting its ancient origin and lack of modern trace elements. It also comes with a gemmological and historical report by an independent specialist Anna Rogers. In Roman art, Diana usually appears as a huntress with a bow and quiver, accompanied by a hound or deer. In Rome, the most important temple of Diana was on the Aventine. This temple housed the foundation charter of the Latin League and was said to date back to King Servius Tullius (6th century BC). Another important centre for the worship of Diana was Ephesus, where the Temple of Artemis (or Diana) was one of the Seven Wonders of the World.Size: D: 16.51mm / US: 6 / UK: M; 10.5g.Provenance: Property of a professional Ancient art and jewelry expert; previously with a London gallery; initially from a private British collection formed in the 1980s.

After his father abdicated in his favor, he returned to Parma from London in August 1849 under the protection of Austrian troops and established an arbitrary reactionary regime that made him so hated that in March 1854 he was stabbed to death in the open street in Parma by an unknown man. The heir to the throne, Duke Robert (1854-1859/60), who was still underage, was succeeded by his mother, the French-born Bourbon princess Louise Marie of Bourbon.

Ausländische Orden & Ehrenzeichen - Frankreich : Insignie der Vereinigung der Eroberer der Bastille (Médaille - Insigne de L'Association des Vainqueurs de la Bastille).Das Zentrum aus Zinn, in aus Silber gefertigtem Rahmen in Form eines Lorbeerkranzes. Am besonders schönen, langen Originalband mit genähter Bandschleife. Mit altem Sammlungsetikett der Collection Laissus. Aufgrund der revolutionären Umstände, insbesondere der Annahme der Verfassung vom 10. August 1793, wurde das Tragen von Auszeichnungen als Symbol der verhaßten vergangenen Epoche der Unterdrückung und der Tyrannei (Ancien Régime) betrachtet. Durch Dekret der Nationalversammlung vom 20. August und vom 18. November 1793 wurden die ursprünglich an die Eroberer der Bastille verliehenen Dekorationen (Couronne Murale und Médaille d'Or des Gardes Francaises) abgeschafft und die Rückgabe der Dekorationen und deren Verleihungsurkunden bei den örtlichen Behörden angeordnet. Aus diesem Grund schlossen sich viele der ursprünglich 1054 als Eroberer der Bastille anerkannten Personen ( 100 Gardes Francaises und 954 Vainqueurs Bourgeois) zu einer Vereinigung, der Association des Vainqueurs de la Bastille zusammen, deren Mitglieder das hier angebotene Abzeichen trugen. Literatur: André Souyris - Rollande, Histoire des distinctions et des récompenses nationales, Band 1, S. 30 - 31. Schönes und sehr seltenes Originalexemplar aus einer der rennomiertesten Sammlungen zur Geschichte der Französischen Revolution. Foreign Orders & Decorations - France : Medal of the Association of the Conquerors of the Bastille (Médaille - Insigne de L'Association des Vainqueurs de la Bastille). The center made of pewter, frame made of silver in the form of a laurel wreath. On it's particularly beautiful, long original ribbon with sewn ribbon bow. With old collection label of the Collection Laissus. Due to the revolutionary circumstances, especially the adoption of the Constitution of August 10, 1793, the wearing of decorations was considered a symbol of the hated past era of oppression and tyranny (Ancien Régime). By decrees of the National Assembly of August 20 and November 18, 1793, the decorations originally awarded to the conquerors of the Bastille (Couronne Murale and Médaille d' Or des Gardes Francaises) were abolished and the return of the decorations and their award certificates to the local authorities was ordered. For this reason, many of the original 1054 recognized as conquerors of the Bastille ( 100 Gardes Francaises and 954 Vainqueurs Bourgeois) formed an association, the Association des Vainqueurs de la Bastille, whose members wore the badge offered here. Literature: André Souyris - Rollande, Histoire des distinctions et des récompenses nationales, vol. 1, pp. 30 - 31. Beautiful and very rare original copy from one of the most renowned collections on the history of the French Revolution.
