A Napoleon III ormolu-mounted tortoiseshell and brass-inlaid 'Boulle' marquetry mantel clock, the mounts cast by Auguste Delafontaine, third quarter 19th century, the arched case surmounted by a figure of Chronos, the repousse brass dial with enamel Roman numerals within a laurel wreath border, above a glazed panel behind figures of the Fates, flanked by uprights headed by scrolling pilasters surmounted by shells, the apron inlaid with the inscription CUNCTA CUM TEMPORE REGUNT between scrolling feet, the sides and back inset with glazed panels, on a conforming bracket, the mounts stamped AD, the twin train movement stamped EM 7370 and 10.6, 114.5cm high, 44.5cm wide, 22cm deepNote: This clock is a direct copy of a Louis XIV period clock and bracket, attributed to the workshop of André-Charles Boulle, with movement by Antoine Gaudron, which is now in the Louvre, having been gifted in 1985 by Jean-Paul and Michel Fabre (OA 11029). In the 1732 inventory of André-Charles Boulle's atelier, a clock of this model is listed as 'une boeste contenant les modeles de la pendule a Parques avec le Temps isolé', clearly indicating a clock depicting the three Fates with Time 'isolated', watching the three sisters from above as Clotho divides the thread of life, Lachesis measures it, and Atropos cuts it. The model derives from a design by Boulle, published by Mariette in 'Nouveaux desseins de meubles et ouvrages de bronze et de marqueterie inventés et gravés par André-Charles Boulle', circa 1715. The Delafontaine bronze factory was first established in the late 18th century by Jean-Baptiste-Maximilien Delafontaine (1750-1820), and was subsequently under the direction of Jean-Baptiste's grandson, Auguste-Maximilien, under whose tenure the present clock was most likely produced. In 1870, located at 10 rue de L'Université, the firm created decorative works of art of the highest quality and was a main competitor to the Barbedienne foundry.Please note that Roseberys do not guarantee the working order or time keeping of any timepiece.

Rectangular window panel set in modern lead cames with loop to each upper corner; design of sea-beasts in profile with their curved tails bound with thick collars, conch shells between. 500 grams, 39.3 x 12.5 cm (15 1/2 x 4 7/8 in.). [No Reserve] with De Baecque Vente Aux Encheres, 5 March 2022, no.40.
Cretaceous Period, 145-65 million years B.P. A pair of Charonosaurus sp. hadrosaur eggs on a matrix retaining evidence of the original leathery surface. 7.6 kg total, 26 x 14 cm (10 1/4 x 5 1/2 in.). From a Lincolnshire, UK, collection, 1990s. Property of a Cambridgeshire gentleman.Dinosaur eggs are known from about 200 sites around the world, the majority in Asia and mostly in terrestrial (non-marine) rocks of the Cretaceous Period. It may be that thick calcite eggshells evolved during the Cretaceous (145 to 65 million years ago). Most dinosaur eggs have one of two forms of eggshell that are distinct from the shells of related modern animal groups, such as turtles or birds; however, some eggs closely resemble the type of shells seen in present day ostrich eggs.
2nd-3rd century A.D. Comprising a plain hoop with hook-and-eye fastener, discoid shield decorated with filigree border of three bands of twisted wire and seven granules; to the centre, a bezel of spirally twisted wire; a broad hoop from previous pendant attachment. Cf. Ruseva-Slokoska, L., Roman Jewellery: A Collection of the National Archaeological Museum, Sofia, 1991, item 32, for type. 3.31 grams, 18.24 mm (3/4 in.). [No Reserve] Acquired on the UK art market in the early 2000s. From the David John Dennis collection of ancient jewellery. Property of a Californian, USA, collector.David Dennis started collecting items when he was a 10 year old boy during the Blitz in London gathering parts of nose cones from shells and other pieces of shrapnel that had fallen from the skies. After the war he turned his attentions to cigarette cards, postage stamps, bank notes, coins and eventually ancient artefacts, predominately Roman jewellery. Now living in Cumbria with his daughter he decided it was time to part with his collections.
2nd-4th century A.D. With 'swan-neck' junction; facetted, round-section tapering shank; shallow bowl shaped like a flask in profile. Cf. Riha, E., & Stern, W.B., Die Römischen Löffel aus Augst und Kaiseraugst, Forschungen, in Augst 5, 1982, for discussion; cf. Jackson, C.J., The Spoon and its History, in Archaeologia, vol.53. 19.7 grams, 17.5 cm (6 7/8 in.). Property of a Bedfordshire, UK, private collector. Accompanied by an illustrated collector's identification tag.The spoon's shaft tapers to a point; it was used for extracting seafood or snails from their shells. Spoons executed in precious metals were highly valued items in this period in history, so much so that historians and classicists see them recorded in inventories compiled for noble households. Cochlearia like this one have even been discovered in treasure hoards. The absence of Christian symbolism or of a Christian inscription on this spoon might suggest that it dates from a pre-Christian era, or that its owner/commissioner was pagan.
