A heavy and darkly patinated bronze Fang Ding style Chinese censer; the rectangular pierced cover very finely cast with an open-mouthed Karashishi/Buddhistic temple lion; 21cm high (probably mid-18th century) CONDITION REPORT: Weight 1,606g.

After Johann Heinrich Von Dannecker Ariadne and the Panther, a good 19th century patinated bronze study upon a heavy cream-veined green marble base with concave corners; 21cm wide x 23cm high CONDITION REPORT: This has a nice dark patination, the edge of the marble at the back where it is recessed there is evidence of very small chips although this doesn't particularly detract from the piece (see images). The bronze also appears to have some scratches to the back of the piece where the female subject sits upon the panther. There are also some very minor scratches, some on her right hand foot but generally the piece appears in reasonable order. Condition commensurate with age.
A heavy Chinese patinated bronze bottle-shaped vase; decorated in high-relief with Chilong dragons, each with a bifid tail amongst stylised Lingzhi fungus, impressed reign seal-mark to underside; 37.5cm high CONDITION REPORT: We think this piece is probably late 19th Century although the piece is quite darkly patinated. Generally reasonable condition (see images) with no major problems noted. It is lighter on the underside around the foot on the main body to the outside. The dragons appear to be reasonably well cast, there are some minor scratches and colour variations mostly to the outside of the piece commensurate with age. See images.

A bronze model of a sitting terrier-type dog together with a bronze model of a greyhound and a metal model of a wren (3), the wren 7cm high CONDITION REPORT: Looks OK with some minor paintwork away. We are not sure what the wren is made of but we do not think it is bronze, although it appears to be some sort or metal. The greyhound is in good general overall order with no major problems noted.

Zacharie Rimbez (French, 19th/early 20th century), a patinated and parcel gilt bronze bust of an Ottoman maiden, circa 1880-1890, with striped headdress and locks of hair flowing across the left shoulder, adorned with jewellery and medallions across a foliate cast garment, the head turned slightly to sinister, on square section tiered base with cartouche detail, 66 cm high CATALOGUE NOTES: This bust by Zacharie Rimbez is a prime example of sculpture in the Orientaliste taste, a romanticising take on Near Eastern artistic styles and subject matter fashionable in nineteenth-century France. Though the cartouche on the base of the present example is not inscribed, other versions of this model bear the name 'Saida', suggesting that this is a portrait bust of a particular person or character. This is very much in line with Rimbez' practice, as he often drew inspiration from Orientalist characters in history and fiction. A notable example of this is his bust of Armida, the Saracen sorceress from Torquato Tasso's Gerusalemme Liberata.A gilt version of the present model was sold at Christie's New York, Orientalist Art, 19 April 2006
