Gianfrancesco Susini (Firenze 1585-1653) (school of) Bagpiper Bronze, bronze patina Overall 21,5x7x7 cm Bronze 15,5x6x4,5 cm The original bronze invention was attributed by Bode to Giambologna, but the Dhanens rejected this idea. According to Avery this sculpture is close to Giambologna's themes, but it could more correctly be ascribed to the workshop of Gianfrancesco Susini. This rare casting is known in three examples, one in the Berlin State Museum, the other in Williams College of Art, Massachusetts, and a third in the Collection of Michael Hall. Following these indications, our casting is also attributed to the school of Gianfrancesco Susini.

Inkwell with Satyr Padua school16th-17th century Bronze, dark brown patina 23,5x23x20,5 One garland missing, minor casting defects Central body supported by three crouching lions, laying on a structure with three feet in the form of winged monsters. The lid is surmounted with a seated satyr, turning to the left. The object is decorated with garlands and masks of various kinds.An object of great taste, it has the typical materiality of late Renaissance Paduan castings: thick, bituminous patina that can be found in many of the 15th-16th century objects of this area. Likewise, the masks depicting long-eared satyrs cane inspired by Riccio’s figures.The satyrs of the Candelabro Pasquale of Andrea Briosco, called Riccio (Basilica del Santo in Padua) can be distant prototypes of our satyr.The sculpture is rather crude and has very little cold cast finishing. Some small casting defects have not been removed, making it rather rare and interesting.Recently, an inkwell very similar to ours attributed to the school of Giuseppe de Levis was seen at auction.This inkwell can be attributed to a Veneto foundry, probably 17th century. Reference bibliographyGiovanni Mariacher, Bronzetti Veneti del Rinascimento, Neri Pozza ed., Vicenza, 1993, cat. 54 and 76 (for a satyr with long ears) with relevant pictures.
Tridacna Shell Padua school Probably 17th century Bronze, patina, traces of gilding 6,5x18,5x13,5 cm This rare bronze was made from a direct cast of a real shell.In the Renaissance, castings from life were often made in the Paduan area, following the taste for Nature-Artifice theme. Snakes, lizards, toads and spider crabs were covered with refractory material and placed at high temperatures, leaving a perfect cast of their bodies to be used as a mold for later castings. Small studiolo objects such as inkwells, candlesticks and paperweights often concealed philosophical meanings related to the role of art in emulating nature. This tridacna falls into this category of objects.Shells were often used as ink vessels and in the production of Severo da Ravenna and Gerolamo Campagna they were supported by satyrs in compositions of bronze inkwells. A similar large shell supported by a kneeling man is attributed to Girolamo Campagna (Museo Correr, Venice; Vittoria and Albert Museum, London). Another shell, part of an inkwell, is attributed to the workshop of Severo Calzetta da Ravenna (Castello del Buonconsiglio, Trento).This shell shows no signs of being part of another object (there is no holes or pins). It could be an autonomous work, representing itself and the union of nature and artifice.Bronze tridacne shells are present in works by Francesco Bertos (Venice 1678-1741), such as basins with small putti musicians playing on the edges.

Peretti Family Buckle, Probably 17th centuryBronze, brown patina12x9x2 cmThis rare antique clothing item was probably a buckle for a leather belt. It is embossed with the noble coat of arms of the Peretti family (to which Sixtus V belonged): three mountains surmounted by a star supported by a pair of rampant lions.Eleven Mascarons France19th century Brass and gilt brass From 11x9 cm to 19x20 cm Amusing collection of mascarons in eclectic taste, probably made in the 19th century. Possibly decorations of furniture and cabinets in Empire style.The smallest mascaron depicts a Bacchus, two large ones Hercules with a lion skin and winged head of a goddess, a group of five features a female heads surrounded by ribbons and pearls.Delightful and decorative collection BibliographyEnrico Colle, Angela Griseri and Roberto Valeriani, I Bronzi Decorativi in Italia, Electa, Milan, 2011, (see especially chapters dedicated to Eclecticism).
UNITED KINGDOM. Lot of 9 gold coins.Coin 1: Victoria, 1837-1901, Half-Sovereign 1890. London. No JEB Low shield DISH L511. Mintage: 2,243,200. 19.3 mm. 3.99 g. 917/1000 Gold. (AGW=0.1176 oz.)No half sovereigns were struck in 1888 and 1889 in an attempt to steer the public towards greater use of silver coins, which were less prone to wear than the half-sovereign and so more cost-effective. The double-florin (4 shillings) piece was produced 1887-1890 to offset for the half-sovereign shortage, but weighs 22.6 grams and measures 36 mm. The public was not happy about carrying around the equivalent value of the widely used half-sovereign (10 shillings) in silver coins. Production of half sovereigns recommenced in 1890 with 2,266,023 coins.Having experienced lots of issues with the Jubilee coinage in the run-up to the Queen’s Jubilee, the Mint continued making tweaks to the design in the following years. To improve metal flow, the reverse shield was redesigned and moved slightly lower (sometimes called wide date as the lower part of the shield pushed the date further apart). However, the Mint continued using the high shield dies from 1887 production runs until 1892, the later ones being very rare (1891 is ultra-rare). For 1890, both types are common, the new lower shield type coins slightly more prevalent than the high shield.Coin 2: Victoria, 1837-1901, Half-Sovereign 1885. London.
