Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century BCE. A large bronze oil lamp with a nautical theme. Two women's busts in the style of a ship's figurehead project from the short sides of the elongated bowl. Two youths, standing, nude aside from laurel wreaths, and holding large kilikes (wine drinking vessels) form the hooks for twin chains for suspension. The linked chains are hooked onto twin dolphins whose tails join together; above them is an additional long chain terminating in a large loop. Size: 7" L x 10.2" W x 26.5" H (17.8 cm x 25.9 cm x 67.3 cm).Cast using the lost-wax process, this piece displays the technical prowess of Roman artisans. This piece, made of precious metal, would have been an expensive and treasured item, perhaps an heirloom. The design has a rich iconography, much of it relating to the nautical. The ship's figurehead-style women may be goddesses; the Romans favored military, mythological, or monstrous figureheads on their ships. The dolphins, meanwhile, remind us of a powerful and common motif in Roman artwork. The Romans were in part a maritime empire, and the iconography of the sea included dolphins, who they seem to have believed carried souls to the Fortunate Isles, perhaps because they could pass through the air-breathing terrestrial world and into the watery depths that claimed so many Roman sailors' lives. The youths, meanwhile, are not explicitly nautical, but their drinking vessels suggest that they may be at a Symposium, a drinking party for the wealthy. Perhaps this lamp belonged to a family who had become wealthy through maritime trade or naval prowess.See a similar example at the Harvard Art Museum (1990.71).

Ancient Near East, probably Syria, ca. 9th to 8th century BCE. A well-carved stone bowl, made to be set into a wall or a tomb and have libations poured through it, with a thin-fingered hand cupped around the underside of the bowl and a flanged, wave form rim on the pipe that extends from one side of the bowl. The upper exterior of the bowl is carved with a rope-like motif immediately under the rim. Custom stand. Size: 3.9" L x 2.5" W x 1.65" H (9.9 cm x 6.4 cm x 4.2 cm); height on stand: 4.25" (10.8 cm).Stone libation bowls have been found throughout the ancient Near East and ancient Mediterranean, but based on frequency of finds, they seem to have originated in the region of modern day Northern Syria. They vary in material used, and in stylistic complexity, of which this stone version is a fine example.See a comparable item, with lion iconography instead of a hand, from the Christie's New York June 4, 2015 auction (Lot 157), that sold for $12500. For a similar example with a palmette on the bowl's base, see no. 233 in O.W. Muscarella, "Ladders to Heaven: Art Treasures from Land of the Bible." Provenance: Ex-private East Coast, USA collection Condition: Intact, with some minor areas of surface encrustation. Iconography is in excellent condition. All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

Historic Original Photograph Album Belonging to Eva Braun and Retrieved from Her Room in the "Fuhrer Bunker" Berlin in April 1945, The original "owner", Photographer Edward "Dixie" Dean and one of Fleet Street's top Photographers obtained the album personally in Hitler's Bunker from a Russian Soldier whom he watched take it from Eva Braun's bedroom drawer shortly after Hitler and Eva's suicide. Edward along with Richard Dimbleby and Rex North were among the first journalist to visit the Chancellery and Bunker and included in this lot is a typed account of his hair raising trip through Russian lines to Berlin, his experiences in the Bunker and later at Buchenwald. Also a list of "War Souvenirs from Hitlers Chancellery" has Eva Bruan Photographic album noted at the top and is signed by Dean and dated August 11th 1945. The next item in securing provenance is a fascinating article in the Daily Mirror of July 16 1945 which features the Album with photographs of some of its images, including a double page clearly from the Album, under the heading "Eva Braun Treasured Photos of a handsome S.S.Man" with the sensational claim that Hitler's mistress may have had a secret love affair with one of his personal bodyguard! As to the Album its cloth binding is in the form of a stylised swastika in grey and red with the image repeated in miniature on the rear and neatly laced. It measures 330 x 230 mm. The images of which there are 73, in various sizes and all very clear, include a number of Adolf Hitler. Among them is one of him sitting on the Berghof veranda looking intently at a document, while another shows him in almost a "Chaplainesque" stance making a salute as he walks towards the camera down the Berghof path and others show him with crowds outside the Berghof. In addition there are a number of images of Himmler in uniform with other SS men, and both Goebbels and Goering. Others show Hitler's guard detachment both on duty and in relaxed pose at the Berghof and the Reichs Chancellery. Others show a torch-lit meeting and one of Hitler's cars and plane etc. Most images are captioned and almost all can be removed from their corner clips, revealing descriptions and in some instances dates on the reverse (in most cases early to mid 1930's). In summary a unique Photograph Album with a clear and unambiguous provenance that takes it back to Eva Braun's ownership in the Bunker in 1945 through to the present day with all the appropriate and essential documentation. An opportunity to acquire a powerful visual statement from the seat of Nazi power that belonged to the "first lady" of the Third Reich and without question was with her at the last stages of the war in the Fuhrer Bunker in Berlin, 1945.In 1983, Dean decided to sell his treasured war souvenir and entered it into an auction held by Warwickshire based Auctioneers Warwick & Warwick, it then was purchased again, almost immediately, by one of the bidders who "was unable to get through by phone at the time to increase (his) bid" This owner a Mr R.A.Palmer retained the item for over 30 years, he intended to open a Military museum with this and other items of significance that he had purchased, sadly this never happened and the album along with other items were found after his death, it was purchased by the current vendor directly from Palmer’s family. Very few significant artefacts liberated from the Fuhrer Bunker in 1945 exist today in the open market, especially with such concrete provenance dating all the way back to the time of liberation.
