Mid-century modern ceramic tile mural featuring an abstract depiction of two classically dressed female figures engaged in agrarian work. One raises an amphora-shaped container, while the other holds a bundle of wheat and a sickle, symbolizing harvest and sustenance. Composed of individual ceramic tiles mounted on a wooden backing, the mural exhibits a textured, earthy surface with a crackled glaze finish in warm tones of brown, cream, black, and ocher. The geometric stylization and minimalist forms reflect the modernist aesthetic popular in mid-20th-century decorative arts. A monogram is present in the lower left corner that resembles an E and M, suggesting the artist's signature or studio mark. The rear of the piece shows numerical markings, indicative of a structured assembly process. This substantial mural serves as a striking example of mid-century ceramic artistry and would be an impressive focal point in any interior.Issued: c. 1960Dimensions: 22"L x 57. 25"HCondition: Age related wear. Small crack on the lower cheek of the left figure. This panel is very heavy.

Deckelvase mit Blumen-WeichmalereiKPM Berlin um 1900Porzellan, polychrom bemalt, Reliefgold. KPM Szeptermarke, roter Reichsapfel mit KPM, 1. Wahl. H. 21 cm.Kleine Deckelvase der Königlichen Porzellanmanufaktur (KPM) Berlin, Amphora-Form mit volutenfömigen Blatthenkeln, aufewölbtem Deckel mit vollplastischer, bekrönender Rosenknospe ebenso wie auf dem Gefäßkörper mit Rokoko-Kartuschen in gold, auf der Wandung Blumenmotiv in sog. Weichmalerei. Die Weichmalerei beschreibt einen Stil in der Porzellanmalerei, der insbesondere in der KPM Berlin ausgeführt wurde. Wo vorher "Blumenmalerei in alter Manier" bestellt wurde, tauchen um 1890 in den Auftragsbüchern zunehmend Begriffe wie "Neuberliner Blumenmalerei" oder die "zarte weiche Blumenmalerei" auf. Der Manufakturmaler Alexander Kips, der von 1888 bis 1908 die künstlerische Gesamtleitung der KPM innehatte, förderte den Weichmalereidekor in hohem Maße. In der Zeit des Jugendstiles erfreuten sich Objekte mit Weichmalerei größter Beliebtheit.Weichmalerei für im Jugendstil hergestellte Blumenmalerei verwendet, es werden keine grellen Farben verwendet, sondern nur blasse helle Farbtöne. Wie der Name vorausnimmt, handelt es sich um eine Malweise, bei der durch den Verzicht auf scharfe Konturen ein weichzeichnerischer Effekt erzielt wird. Durch die Gestaltung eines diffus wirkenden Hintergrundes wird dieser weiter verstärkt. Die meist aufwendigen Ensembles, die zumeist Blumen zeigen, erinnern mit ihrer Lebendigkeit, der spannungsvollen Tiefen- und Farbenwirkung, nicht mehr an die strengen Buketts des 18.Jh., sondern markieren einen neuen Meilenstein in der Entwicklung Berliner Porzellankunst.Provenienz: Nachlass von Dr. Alexander Eugen Herzog von Württemberg (1933-2024).

Set of Three Terracotta Hanging Pots This collection comprises three handcrafted terracotta hanging pots featuring a traditional amphora-inspired design. Made of unglazed red clay, each pot has a rounded, bulbous body tapering to a pointed base, with faint horizontal marks indicating hand-thrown construction. Small looped handles near the rim allow for suspension, with each hanging pot secured by rope or cord: two with natural beige twine and one with a white synthetic cord. The pots vary slightly in suspension materials but are similar in size, their approximate estimated dimensions being 20–30 cm in height and 15–20 cm in diameter. Their natural reddish-brown finish, absence of decoration, and rustic appearance suggest functionality over ornamentation, suitable for planting or storage. The form and aesthetic draw inspiration from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern pottery traditions and, while influenced by historical styles, these items are likely reproductions from the late 20th or early 21st century. Suitable for decorative or functional use, these pots are a cohesive display of traditional craftsmanship.

6th-5th century B.C. A section of scale armour coat composed of 162 overlapping tongue-shaped scales mounted onto a cloth panel, each with three holes to the top and some with one or two holes to the right for fastening onto the original leather backing. Cf. similar scales from Egypt, dated circa 590 B.C., in the Metropolitan Museum, discovered in the palace of Apries, accession no. 09.183.7a–v; Cernenko, E.V., The Scythians 700-300 BC, Hong Kong, 1998, pp.7ff., pl.D & E; for identical scales see Полин, С.В. & Колтухов, С.Г., ‘A Scythian Burial in a mound near the S.Nadezhda in Crimea’ and Лихачёва, О.С., ‘Elements of Scythian tradition in the complex of armament of the Altai forest-steppes population, in the 6th-3rd centuries B.C.’, in Russian Academy of science, The war and the military in the Scythian-Sarmatian world, Proceedings of International Scientific Conference in tribute to the memory of A.I. Melyukova (Kagal’nik, 26–29 April 2014), pp.119-126, and pp.162-171, pl.3, p.126, fig.2, p.165. 165 grams, 16 x 12 cm (6 1/4 x 4 3/4 in.). From the private collection of a London gentleman, from his grandfather's collection formed before the early 1970s. Accompanied by an academic report by Dr Raffaele D’Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate number no.12469-231236.The favourite armour of the Scythian noblemen was composed of scales, usually protecting the torso, sometimes the entire body (kataphraktoi). The Scythians found that the most efficient method was to arrange the overlapping ‘fish-scales’ as a corselet made of a number of bronze and iron plates, which then protected the wearer against sword and spear thrusts. Our scales correspond well to bronze scales found in May 1961 in an accidentally destroyed burial in a barrow, near the village of Nadezhda Sovetsky district. They were discovered together with iron scales, a Greek Corinthian helmet, fragments of an amphora, five arrowheads and fragments of an iron sword. Most of these bronze scales were oblong in shape, with a sub-rectangular upper end and a rounded lower end, but slightly bigger than our scales.
