Sergio Rodrigues (Rio de Janeiro, 1927-2014) Mucki bench, 1960s Jacaranda, Brazilian rosewood H 29 x W 300 x D 80 cm Produced by Oca Provenance: private home, Brazil First conceived in 1958 and produced by Oca, the Mucki bench is among Sergio Rodrigues’ most versatile and emblematic designs. Its low, rectangular structure with latitudinal slats and rhythmically placed wooden buttons reflects the refined balance between simplicity and sophistication that characterises Rodrigues’ work. This exceptional example, measuring three metres in length and an unusual 80 cm in depth, was made to measure in the 1960s - an extremely rare proportion that highlights the adaptability of Rodrigues’ design to specific commissions. Crafted in solid rosewood, the bench showcases the rich tonal variations and expressive veins of the wood, underscoring its sculptural quality. A remarkable and rare original, it remains in excellent vintage condition, bearing witness to the enduring relevance of Rodrigues’ vision.

paolo anesi
Paolo Anesi (Rome, 1697-1773) View of the Ponte Cestio from the Tiber island Oil on canvas 28 x 48 cm Provenance: anonymous sale, Paris, Hôtel Drouot (Maître Baudoin), May 31st, 1919, lot n° 98 (Vanvitelli, View of a city-houses rise on both banks of a river crossed by a stone bridge. In the foreground, on the ground to the right, a fragment of a fluted column and a broken capital); private collection, France Literature: Olivier Michel, Biographical Research on Paolo Anesi, in Publications de l'École Française de Rome, Vivre à peindre à Rome au XVIIIe siècle, vol. 217, 1996, pp. 319–334 Praised during his lifetime as one of the most brilliant vedute painters of the eighteenth century in Italy, Paolo Antonio Anesi nevertheless remains a figure whose life and work are still little studied. Active in Rome, Anesi never left his native city. The panoramas offered by its hills provided him with a multitude of striking viewpoints. The Aventine, one of Rome’s seven hills, appears to have been a favourite subject. To produce his painting, Anesi positioned himself on the Isola Tiberina, a small island in the middle of the Tiber, connected to the left bank by the Ponte Cestio and to the right bank by the Ponte Fabricio.

Goudji (Georgia, Bordjomi 1941) Oryx à la robe diaprée, 2025 Silver 1st title, serpentine, pyrite, crystal, Armour stone H 49 x W 38 x D 10 cm Provenance: the artist's studio Exhibition: Goudji, L'or du temps, 5 July-28 September 2025, Galerie Capazza (France) This oryx, with its serpentine goatee and crystal-adorned tail, is an African antelope. It sports horns and a coat draped in Armour stone, and wears a silver bell around its pyrite neck, ready to ring. 'When viewing Goudji's works, one is overcome by a disturbing feeling, that of being faced with original, powerful, dazzling masterpieces that delicately resonate with so many symbols that shape our visual culture and our common heritage, from Persia to Athens, from Babylon to Rome, from the Tigris to the Danube, winged griffins of malachite and lapis lazuli, birds with bold and daring beaks, reassuring ex-votos, kantharoi and cups worthy of banquets of the gods. Modest, always secretive, born into goldsmithing because he ardently wanted to be, constantly devoted to his craft, constantly exploring forms, constantly telling stories, Goudji has definitely entered into history.' by Olivier Gabet, 2025 (General Curator of Heritage and Art Historian - Director of the Department of Decorative Arts at the Louvre Museum)

Anastasis Russia, circa 1600 32.5 x 26.5 cm The Anastasis (resurrection) of Christ and the victory over the realm of death are central to this icon. Christ, surrounded by a radiant mandorla, tramples the gates of the underworld and pulls Adam up from a stone coffin by his wrist. Behind Adam stands John, pointing to Christ with his hand and addressing a group of Old Testament prophets and forefathers. To the right of Christ are Eve, Kings David and Solomon, and the prophet Daniel, amongst others. At the bottom right, Christ can be seen rising from his own tomb
