In 1881 the firm had six employees but they expanded considerably towards the end of the century to Perth Works, a three storey building at 60 Garden Street that could have provided employment for up to a hundred hands. They built a solid reputation for their butchers’ and trade knives as well as some fine exhibition pocket knives.

A SILVER-DAMASCENED 'DRAGON' IRON HELMET, 14TH-17TH CENTURY 十四至十七世紀錯銀龍紋鐵頭盔Tibet. The exterior of the helmet made from nine curved platelets, seven of which are decorated with sinuous dragons, joined by nine scalloped rims with prominent central ribs, the upper tips of the ribs notched to enclose the base of the double knot plume. The front of the helmet reinforced with a scalloped plate decorated with a dragon head at the center framed by two further sinuous dragons. The lower edge of the helmet pierced to secure the three-tiered neck guard. Provenance: New York trade. Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Some wear, casting flaws, corrosion, encrustations, minor nicks and losses, light scratches. The silver inlays are well preserved.Weight: 1,980 g Dimensions: Height 42.9 cmThis type of segmented Tibetan helmet, used originally with a coat of lamellar armor, was probably derived from Sasanian Persian helmets of the 3rd century CE. During the 14th-17th century, Tibet was a disunited country where a number of regional secular rulers allied to religious orders vied for power and in which warfare was not uncommon. A sizeable armor production in Tibet was the result of this situation. The present helmet, with fine silver inlays depicting fierce dragons, is a rare example of this group.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related iron helmet, dated to the 14th-17th century, Tibet, in the collection of the National Museums Scotland, reference number A.1909.406 A.

Since 2015, Alexander Goetz has run Gallery 101, a dedicated art space in Kabupaten Badung, Bali.Condition: Good condition with extensive old wear, weathering as expected, age cracks, some with associated old repairs. Small nicks, scratches, and losses. Beautiful, naturally grown patina overall.Weight: 16.4 kg Dimensions: Size 128.5 x 78 cm This door was originally installed in a great thatched communal house belonging to an aristocratic, matrilineal Tetun clan. Such residences were usually embellished with painted walls as well as elaborately carved panels and doors. The floorplan reflected Tetun notions of the cosmos which held that humans lived on earth between the upper world and the underworld. The rear of the house was viewed as the women's domain and symbolized the sacred underworld. Following birth, a father carried his infant through the "female door" to the upper world, which was predominantly male.Most of such doors were decorated solely with tightly patterned geometric designs, while others singularly depict or combine raised carvings of breasts, animals, or ceremonial jewelry. In the case of figurative doors, they usually consist of a single effigy with a long angular frame or a half-bodied torso. Only very few doors actually depict male and female figures, like the two seen on the present door.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related door, dated c. 1915, in the collection of the Dallas Museum of Art, object number 2013.3. Compare a closely related door, dated c. 1900, combining male and female aspects in a single figure, in the collection of the Powerhouse Museum of the Museum of Applied Arts & Sciences in Sydney, object number 2002/6/1.

A RARE SANDSTONE MINATURE STELE FIGURE OF A MOTHER GODDESS WITH CHILDExpert's note: The composition of this small stele is closely related to that of the 'mother goddess and child' in the Norton Simon Museum, see literature comparison below. This becomes strikingly clear when the images of both statues are juxtaposed and subsequently overlaid. Thus, the present sculpture - although smaller in size - is proportionally identical to the one at the Norton Simon and most likely once served as a model for its creation. This makes it an exceedingly rare specimen of ancient sculptural work in general. It is also interesting to note that the attributes of the missing arms in the Norton Simon statue can be clearly reconstructed using the present sculpture as a reference. Lakshika Senarath Gamage, Assistant Curator for South & Southeast Asian Art at the Norton Simon Museum, stated in a note to the current owner that "based on the standard iconography, I agree with you that the sculptures would have been quite similar/identical."Central India, c. 600. Neatly carved in openwork and reticulated, seated in lalitasana upon a pedestal incised with a band of rings, the goddess supporting a child on her lap. The lower right hand holding a sword, a shield in her upper left, with a radiating halo behind her head, her hair tied into a high chignon, bejeweled with a pendant, earrings, armlets and a waist band.Provenance: Jean Claude Moreau-Gobard, Paris, and thence by descent in the family.
