Corinthian capital (variation on a Roman type from the 3rd/4th century) Central-southern Italy, late 12th - early 13th century Greek Marble H 52 x W 50 x D 50 cm In this unusual variation on the Corinthian there are three orders of acanthus leaves, finelly indented with drill holes in evidence, which reach up to the top of the kalathos. Already in ancient times this type of capital was exported to Aquileia (Udine) a city destroyed by Attila in 452 and temporarily abandoned upon the arrival of the longboards in 568, as shown by a fragmentary example in the national Archeological Museum datable between the 3rd and 4th century.

Gabrielle MONTALD ♀ Née CANIVET, 1867 | 1942 Oiseau décoratif - Decorative bird - 1929 615 × 460 mm (sheet) | 64 × 48 cm (framed) Guoache and ink over gold ground on paper. Signed and dated l.r.: ‘G. Montald 29’. PROVENANCE Private collection, Belgium. RELATED WORKS Among Gabrielle Montald’s most significant autonomous bodies of work, the so-called Oiseau décoratif series occupies a central position. Although the motif appears as early as 1914, the majority of these works were produced between 1925 and the early 1930s. Following her international recognition at the 1925 Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, where her imaginative bird drawings were prominently exhibited, the series expanded in both scope and refinement. In 1927, three of the works shown in Paris were acquired by the Belgian government, marking the beginning of an institutional recognition that endures to this day. Rarely appearing on the market, a large part of Gabrielle Montald’s known oeuvre — including her textiles and bookbindings — is now preserved in Belgian museum collections.

An Empire bronze carousel automaton clock, circa 1815 This rare clock, entirely composed of chased and fire gilded bronze, takes the form of a hexagonal pedestal with chamfered corners, housing a movement with a circular white enamel dial on its front. A rich repertoire inspired by antiquity adorns this pedestal: winged griffins, musical putti, cornucopias, scrolled palmettes and rosettes, and, flanking the short sides, two horse heads, chased in the round, each supporting a "pike" enriched at the base with a corolla of lanceolate water leaves, and punctuated by a ringed tablet for one, and a laurel wreath. An imposing carousel, structured around a richly chased central column ending in a ball, distinguishes the clock. Three putti riding swans—one winged, the second wearing Mercury's helmet, and the third dressed as a court jester—each attempt to grasp the tablet's ring with a curved object. The clock rests on a projecting hexagonal base decorated with a frieze of alternating stylized palmettes and fleurons. A spring mechanism, wound with a key accessible on the rear right-hand chamfered edge of the pedestal, sets the carousel in motion. This mechanism is activated either when the clock strikes or, at other times, by operating a small lever visible beneath the keyhole. Height: 51 cm, Width: 26 cm, Depth 17 cm A very similar model is held in the clock collection of the François Duesberg Museum in Mons, Belgium. It differs only in its dial and, most notably, in the inscription "Nicolas Esterhazy, SOUVENIR D’ENFANCE" (Nicolas Esterhazy, Childhood Memory), visible on the front of the base. Also noteworthy is a clock of the same type, signed VAILLANT A PARIS, which was part of the collection of Countess Valtesse de La Bigne Ville d’Avray (1859-1910) and is now in private hands. Another similar example was presented at Drouot on September 15, 2016 (Mac-Arthur Kohn lot 83). It came from the former collection of the Marchioness of Tweeddale.
