Both are unmarked, and the attribution to Nuremberg is based on stylistic comparisons, such as that of the small cast figures against the buttresses to similar examples by the Nuremberg goldsmith Sebastian Lindenast the Elder. The enameled and painted wild men, reminiscent of those in Albrecht Dürer's compositions, are heraldic supporters but may also be understood as symbols of virility and procreation.

Date: ca. 1750.Qualifying both as a work of art and as a scientific instrument, this compound microscope exemplifies the intermingling of artistic and scientific interests during the mid-eighteenth century. The microscope contains three convex lenses in its inner cylinder, which fits into a wooden tube covered with blue green shagreen (sharkskin). In order to look through the microscope, the ornamental finial cap of gilt bronze needs to be unscrewed. Passemant, ingénieur du roi, provided the optical elements of the microscope, but it is not known who made the beautiful gilt-bronze tripod stand. This instrument may have been made for Louis XV; a series of prints depicting scientific instruments from the royal collection at the chteau de la Muette includes three views of a microscope similar to this one.

Work tables resembling globes were the usual form for a lady's sewing or writing table around 1800 in Austria. Combining moving parts, secret compartments, and highly finished decoration, these tables were also a way for the cabinetmaker to show off his skill.

The end panels depict sainted English kings Edmund and Edward the Confessor. The choice of saints suggests that the chasse was made for Christ Church, Canterbury, a foundation rich in relics and, therefore, a full calendar of feast days. The saints represented here were mentioned in the early thirteenth-century calendar, or their relics were listed in the early fourteenth-century inventory.

Date: ca. 1250-1050 B.C..Bronze tripods and other vessel stands from Cyprus represent some of the finest metalwork produced in the eastern Mediterranean at the end of the Late Bronze Age. Some were cast in one piece; others, such as this one, were composed of pieces cast or worked separately and fastened together by means of hard-soldering. The decoration shows a blend of Mycenaean Greek and Near Eastern elements. The stands themselves have a wide distribution, having been found on Cyprus, Crete, and the Cyclades, as well as in mainland Greece, Sardinia, and Italy. Ancient repairs to this stand's rim are one indication that it was a valuable, treasured item that may have been passed from one generation to another.
