1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:52684The 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL is an iconic classic car that has left an indelible mark on the world of automotive history. This masterpiece of engineering and design epitomises the golden age of automotive elegance and is instantly recognisable. Under the bonnet, the 1957 300SL boasts a 3.0 litre inline-six-cylinder engine with fuel injection, a revolutionary feature for its time. This engine produced an impressive 240 horsepower, more than the Gulling propelling the car to a top speed of around 160 miles per hour, making it one of the fastest production cars of its era. Its agile handling and superb performance on both road and track have solidified its status as a racing legend. The 300SL's elegant lines and iconic grille, along with its subtly curvaceous body, define the epitome of automotive design from the 1950s. The car's interior exudes luxury, featuring sumptuous leather seats, and a timeless instrument panel. Today, the 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster is highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts, a testament to its enduring appeal and its place as a timeless symbol of automotive excellence and style.This stunning 300SL is finished in the superb colour combination of Fantasy Yellow with a Pine Green leather interior, matching top roll and weaved carpets. The sumptuous interior is enhanced by the colour co-ordinated dashboard, ivory steering wheel and gear stick. This is the highly desirable closed in headlamps model and also benefits from a lower rear axle ratio of 1;3.89 for increased acceleration.Owned by its former owner since 1974, this magnificent 300SL has been totally nut and bolt restored by the renowned restorer Rudi & Co in Canada, respected for carrying out some of the finest restorations in the world. No stone was left unturned during the restoration, the paintwork is of excellent quality, the chromework is unblemished, the interior is an area of beauty and mechanically this car is as good as you could ever expect. The panel gaps look like they could have been set with a Vernier gauge they are so precise. The restoration was carried out circa 20 years ago which gives an indication of the outstanding quality of workmanship that Rudi Koniczek & Co in Vancouver, Canada are capable of. Supplied with a Mercedes-Benz Classic Certificate, this 300SL Roadster is accompanied by a Becker Mexico radio, tools, manuals and spare keys. This is a fabulous opportunity to purchase a Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster of the highest quality.Interested parties should note that this car will be subject to 5% import duty.
DEMETRE CHIPARUS. The authors figurine of a pretty girl in Pierrots carnival costume, made in Chrysoelephantine technique. The heroine is captured in a high note of singing or recitation. In the rage of the performance, she involuntarily spread her pockets, stretches on her toes, bowing her head cutely. The figure is placed on a cone-shaped onyx base, reminiscent of a circus pedestal. Art Deco. First half of the 20th century. Patinated bronze, ivory. On the back on the cloak are the signatures of the author H Chiparus, and the pilot Etling Paris. Height 22.5 cm. Literature: This figure is featured in Bryan Catleys Art Deco and other Figures, page 66. Width: 10cm, Height: 22.5cm, Depth: 7.5cm, Weight: 0.5kg, Condition: Good, Material: Bone
Ferdinando Pogliani (Milano, 1832 - Milano, 1899). A stunning Neo-Renaissance ebony desk with grotesque ivory and tortoiseshell inlays. It is a magnificent authors interpretation of the Renaissance era by the outstanding Milanese furniture maker Fardinando Poliani. Having gained fame as geniuses of the renaissance. Winner of many European awards. Supplier to the court of Napoleon III. A two-level rectangular table with folding panels, on truncated pyramidal legs, with a carved stiffening board and spherical supports under the legs. Skillfully recreates the businesslike archaism of forms and the elegant richness of decor. The geometric principle of organizing decor suggests an ingenious unity of squares, rectangles, rhombuses, and triangles in a symmetrical ensemble of tabletops. Against a dark background, ornate garlands with fancy animals, triangles of flowerpots and a central panel with a bone-engraved scene of love voyeurism behind the nymphs’ toilet are perfectly readable. The color of the composition is given by turtle elements scattered around the entire perimeter of the product. Allegorical scenes on the folding panels and stiffening boards enhance the atmosphere of sublime heroism. Thus, in the round medallions of the additional doors there are figures of a young naked man and an old warrior, who, wrapped in a cloak, warms himself by a smoking brazier. In the middle, on the board of rigidity, a young drinker is gracefully depicted sitting on a barrel of wine, which probably means the triumph of current life between the zeal of youth and the wisdom of old age. A worthy piece of furniture art by Italian craftsmen of the 19th century. Table dimensions. 68x78x48 cm. When opened, the length of the tabletop is 116 cm. Width: 78cm, Height: 68cm, Depth: 48cm, Weight: 40kg, Condition: Good, Material: Bone
