Ca. 500-300 BC. A striking Chalcidian helmet made of hammered tinned bronze, with a sharply flaring neck-guard, a short slender nose guard running to broad arching eye openings; the brow shows two slender eyebrows. The articulated crescentic cheek pieces with contoured edges are attached with hinges; a hole for the attachment of a chin strap is visible on each cheek piece. Chalcidian helmets are named after similar helmets depicted on pottery vases from the Euboean city of Chalcis. This type of ancient Greek helmet was a lighter and less restrictive form of the Corinthian helmet. The hinged cheek pieces were anatomically formed to fit closely to the face and tended to curve upward towards the eye, where large circular openings provided a wider field of view than the Corinthian helmets. Excellent condition; custom-made stand included. For more information on Chalcidian helmets, see Everson, T. (2004). Warfare in Ancient Greece: arms and armor from the heroes of Homer to Alexander the Great. The History Press, 116-124.Size: L:360mm / W:210mm ; 1.12kgProvenance: Part of private London Arms & Armour collection; formerly in an old German collection formed since the 1980s.
Ca. 1800 AD (or earlier). A large bronze statuette of goddess Venus standing on top of a round base with her weight on her left leg, the right leg bent at the knee. Her slender torso nude; her both arms bent; her head turned to her left, her gaze slightly downturned; the pupils recessed, her hair arranged in an intricate coiffure. Venus was the god of love, beauty, desire, sex, fertility, prosperity, and victory. She was an especially important god for the Romans as she was also the mother of Aeneas, their mythical ancestor.Size: L:275mm / W:90mm ; 1.32kgProvenance: Private London collection.
Ca. 100 AD. This remarkable marble female head dates roughly to the end of the first century AD (ca. 100 AD), during the reign of the Emperor Trajan (98–117 AD). The treatment of the hair, the large eyes, and the broad nose indicate a Roman production. However, the Greek influence is unmistakable: the Roman patrician families were philhellenes (‘admirers of the Greeks’) and enjoyed decorating their villas with original Greek statues or copies of Greek originals. For instance, archaeological excavations at the Emperor Hadrian’s villa at Tivoli (near Rome) have brought to light several marble copies of original Greek sculptures (which were often made of bronze). The statue to which this female marble head belongs may be a Roman copy of a Hellenistic Greek statue and may have adorned one such patrician villa.Size: L:200mm / W:165mm ; With stand: 6.6kgProvenance: Property of a London gallery, previously in old British collection formed in the 1980s.
Ca. 460-450 BC. A ceramic oinochoe in the form of a female head with dark brown hair swept back over the ear. Her elegant arched brow and large eyes are carefully picked out in a black pigment; her prominent nose sits above full, pursed lips and a strong chin. The vessel is equipped with a high, ear-shaped handle and trefoil rim. Oinochoai were an ancient Greek type of jug made from precious metal, bronze, or clay used to dispense wine during a symposium. It is often depicted in conjunction with a phiale during the pouring of libations for the gods at an altar. For a similar example, see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Accession Number: 01.8.7.Size: L:220mm / W:90mm ; 185gProvenance: Property of a Central London Gallery, acquired by a private British collector, formerly in Orange County, California, USA collection; ex-property of a New York Gallery; ex-Rhode Island collection, ex Sotheby’s, New York, USA, December 10, 2009, lot #82
Ca. 100 BC - 100 AD. A stunning helmet crafted from bronze, characterized by a rounded bowl with hinged C-shaped cut-outs for the ears. The neck guard of the helmet flares outward, extending the protection down the back of the wearer's neck. The horizontal raised ribs that adorn the occipital area of the helmet, served a dual purpose: not only did they add an element of visual interest to the piece, but they also provided additional structural reinforcement to the helmet. Additionally, the front of the helmet is adorned with stylized wings of Jupiter's thunderbolt, a motif that symbolizes the god's power and might. Roman helmets were an essential part of a soldier's protective gear, serving to safeguard their heads from various weapons and projectiles. These helmets were typically made from bronze, iron, or a combination of the two metals, and featured a wide range of styles and designs, depending on the historical period and geographic region. Cf. Christie's, The Axel Guttmann Collection of Ancient Arms and Armour, part 1, London, 6 November 2002, Lot 95. Robinson, R., The Armour of Imperial Rome, New York, 1975; Junkelmann, M., Römische Helme, Mainz, 2000, pp.138-141. Some repairs.

Ca. 100-200 AD. A stunning bronze figurine of a lion in a reclining position with its forelegs outstretched forward and a full, bushy mane. The lifelike facial features of the lion are so realistic that they appear almost as if they could come to life. The lion's face is finely detailed and conveys a sense of strength, power, and dignity. The eyes are piercing, the nose is broad, and the mouth is slightly open, revealing sharp canine teeth. The fur is carefully sculpted, the furrows and creases of the lion's skin clearly visible. The mane is full and wild, creating a sense of motion and energy. Lion figurines were an important symbol in ancient Rome, representing strength, courage, and power. They were often seen as guardians of important places and structures, symbolizing the power and protection of the Roman Empire.Size: L:100mm / W:120mm ; 715gProvenance: Private London collection; British art market 1990s.
New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, ca. 1550-1292 BC.

Late Dynastic Period, ca. 664-332 BC. A bronze figurine depicting upright Osiris wearing an Atef crown, plumed on each side with ostrich feathers and decorated on the front with a uraeus cobra. The modelled face also wears a false beard, and his mummiform body holds the signature crook and flail, crossed over his torso. This would have been given as a votive offering to a shrine or temple of the god in exchange for his favour.Size: L:90mm / W:35mm ; 70gProvenance: Property of a West London gentleman; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market in the 1990s.
Late Dynastic Period, ca. 664-332 BC. A bronze figure of Osiris in mummiform position holding the crook and flail. He is depicted with a braided divine beard and wearing the atef crown with plumes of ostrich feathers which symbolises power and shows his role as king in the afterlife. Below this uraeus is depicted protecting him. Osiris was one of the most popular ancient Egyptian gods and was connected with male fertility. He was said to be the first Pharaoh of Egypt and was murdered by his brother Seth for his crown. Osiris was revived by Isis, his wife and sister, to conceive Horus, the son who would avenge his death. After death, Osiris became ruler of the underworld and God of the dead, which is why he is shown with the crook and flail, the symbols of authority for Egyptian rulers.Size: L:95mm / W:25mm ; 75gProvenance: Property of a West London gentleman; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market in the 1990s.
Late Dynastic Period, ca. 664-332 BC.

He is known firstly as a god of fertility and then as a god of the underworld. He is usually depicted as a gold or green-faced man, to declare his association with the underworld. Size: L:80mm / W:25mm ; 40gProvenance: Property of a West London gentleman; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market in the 1990s.
Ca. 200-300 AD. A terracotta oil lamp of a teardrop shape, with a small spout and a central recess for filling oil. The main body of the lamp is fashioned in the likeness of a frog, complete with detailed features such as bulging eyes, webbed feet, and a stylized back. The Romano-Egyptian terracotta oil lamp demonstrates the fusion of Egyptian and Roman artistic styles and techniques. The use of oil lamps was widespread in the ancient world, serving as a primary source of artificial light before the advent of electricity. The invention of oil lamps is believed to date back to the Bronze Age, and they continued to be used throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages. In addition to their practical uses, oil lamps also held symbolic and cultural significance, reflecting the artistic and religious traditions of the cultures that produced them.Size: L:72mm / W:58mm ; 70gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old London collection formed in the 1990s.
Ca. 640-430 BC. A bronze figure of nude kouros depicted kneeling on a flat block. His hands rest on his thighs, his head slightly down, with fine face details, almond-shaped eyes, a pronounced nose, and a mysterious smile. His hair rendered by incised parallel lines, drawn back and falling at the upper back. Kouros is a type of statue in ancient Greek art, depicting a naked young man. The naked figures of young men testify to an interest in the beauty of the human body. They are models of the human figure, not portraits of specific people.Size: L:110mm / W:35mm ; 210gProvenance: Property of a North London gentleman; previously acquire on the UK/European art market in the 1970s.
Ca. 500-300 BC. A helmet comprising of hammered gilt bronze. The domed crown with front with medial ridge, with contoured double curve above the brow continuing as an occipital rib around the helmet, with pronounced arched brows and narrow flared neck guard. The crown domed with a mask-like front featuring eyes that have been carefully cut out. The round sections are each accentuated with a separately applied moulded bank. A tear-drop shaped nose guard is reaching down, moveable articulated crescentic cheeky guards with contoured edges are attached by hinges on the sides, rounded, and tapering towards the thin allowing binding. The Chalcidian-Type helmet started to replace the Corinthian-type helmet on the battlefield in the 5th century BC due to its restrictive attributes. The new versatile Chalcidian form of battle helmet enabled the owner to adapt on the battlefield. The Chalcidian helmet enabled greater sensory perception as the helmet was lighter and made in with senses in mind. By the time of the Peloponnesian War (434-402 BC) the Chalcidian helmet was the most widely distributed helmet in the Greek ranks. Good condition, heavily restored. Cf. The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, accession number 54.2468. The British Museum, London, accession number: 1919, 1119.6. Bonhams, 7th October 2021, lot no 72. Literature: R.

Ca. 700-500 BC. A pair of cast bronze arrowheads, each with a lentoid-sectioned blade that has a raised midrib, a tang, and are sharpened to a point at the tip. The blade has a smooth surface that gives it a sleek, streamlined look, and the midrib adds further complexity to the design. The shape of the arrowheads is thought to have been designed to create an aerodynamic quality, allowing them to penetrate and stay in the target more easily.Size: L:45-50mm / W:15-20mm ; 20gProvenance: Private London collector, acquired on the Austrian Art market, formerly in an old USA collection formed since the 1970s.
Cyprus, ca. 1st millennium BC. A magnificent cast bronze spearhead featuring an ovate blade, which is accentuated by a raised midrib that runs down its center, dividing the blade into two equal sections. The blade is also distinguished by gently curved shoulders, which lend it an aesthetically pleasing appearance and enhance its aerodynamic properties. The tang is turned outward and culminates in a small discoid pommel that serves to balance the weapon.Size: L:385mm / W:45mm ; 580gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old London collection formed in the 1990s.
