Giocondo Albertolli (Bedano 1742-1839 Milan) (Attributed to) Milan, late 18th century Wall lights Gilded metal H 72 x W 45 x D 37 cm These elegant gilt-metal wall sconces are attributed to the Milanese architect, designer and ornamentist Giocondo Albertolli, one of the leading figures of Italian Neo-classicism. Their design closely relates to the engraved ornament published in Albertolli's celebrated pattern books, particularly Ornamenti Diversi (Milan, 1782), which played a central role in disseminating the new classical taste throughout Lombardy and Northern Italy. The sconces display many of the motifs associated with Albertolli's ornamental vocabulary, including scrolling acanthus brances, finely fluted candle sockets and radiating drip pans. Their unusually tall proportions and boldly projecting arms give them a distinctly sculptural character, creating a sense of movement and depth rarely encountered in wall lights of the period. The open voluted arms, enriched with naturalistic foliage, closely resemble a number of Albertolli's published designs for girandoles and wall lights. Born in Bedano, near Lugano, Albertolli settled in Milan in 1774 at the invitation of the architect Giuseppe Piermarini. As Professor of Ornament at the Brera Academy he exerted a profound influence on the decorative arts of Northern Italy, providing designs for architecture, furniture, metalwork and interior decoration. His published engravings became an important source for craftsmen working in the Neoclassical style throughout the late eighteenth century. The present sconces are attributed to Giocondo Albertolli and were almost certainly produced by craftsmen working within the circle of artists and decorators associated with him in late eighteenth century Milan. Their refined design and high quality of execution reflect the sophisticated decorative arts tradition that flourished in Lombardy during the Neoclassical period.

Dries Criel
EOS Ring Sandblasted 18kt yellow gold and natural white diamonds Inspired by Eos, the Greek goddess of the dawn. She who brings the first light of day, casting a golden glow across the horizon before the world awakens. A symbol of renewal, radiance, and quiet transformation. Crafted in sandblasted 18kt yellow gold, the ring carries a serene warmth. Its matte surface evokes the first rays of morning light diffused through the atmosphere - gentle, luminous, and timeless. Rather than reflecting light sharply, the gold seems to hold it within, creating a subtle glow that feels both ancient and contemporary. At its centre rests an elongated, natural, step-cut diamond. Surrounding white diamonds accentuate the composition, enhancing the contrast between the softness of the gold and the crystalline purity of the central stone.

Farah Atassi (Brussels, 1981) The Shadow, 2026 Oil on canvas 195.3 x 114.3 cm Signed and dated on the back Provenance: the artist's studio Exhibitions: Farah Atassi, 'Metamorphosis', 26 June-31 July 2026, Almine Rech New York 'The Shadow' comes from a recent body of work in which Farah Atassi explored themes of metamorphosis and freedom. The central figure is a chimeric half woman-half flower that appears to flourish before our very eyes. Daphne - the nymph turned into a laurel tree to escape the god Apollo - comes to mind, a representation of transformation and transcendence. In 'The Shadow' the flower woman is organic, yet sculptural, retaining a distinct humanity that the artist has simplified, symbolised. While the composition is dreamlike and ethereal, a bold shadow brings a touch of realism, anchoring the twisting form to the pictorial plane. This work is a painting within a painting, a formal choice that allows Atassi to contrast two distinct realms while also interrogating the metamorphic potential of art. Notes of Magritte’s uncanny, atmospheric beauty emerge as the flower woman in 'The Shadow' is captured in the act of liberating herself from a canvas, striking out into the rosy dawn.
