The handle has a cloverleaf -shaped eye at the top. The profiled downwards, narrowing trunk is chalice -shaped, then has a position ring with four holes and four notches (to fix the arms and the decorative elements) and is then profiled spherical three times. The eight -pointed star -shaped oil box, which has a smashed ornament at the bottom around the eye, is attached to the trunk with a bayonet closure. On the eye hangs with a hook the profiled rod with the drip tray, in which the sign of an angel's head has been smashed on the edge. The S-shaped arms end up to the trunk in a curl and turn outside into a flat mounting part, in which the bulb and hollow rounds are screwed to the base of hung holders on the profiled round fat catchers. The four decorative elements consist of stylized flowers, two by two. Nuremb

Pair of vases. Culture: Chinese with French mounts. Dimensions: Overall (each): 12 3/4 × 6 1/2 × 4 7/8 in. (32.4 × 16.5 × 12.4 cm). Date: mounts ca. 1760-70, porcelain early 18th century.Chinese porcelain vases decorated with a celadon glaze enjoyed great popularity among French art collectors of the eighteenth century. Frequently they were fitted in France with gilt-bronze mounts that served to enhance the porcelain in the eyes of the potential buyer. The marchandsmerciers, who did so much to influence eighteenth-century French taste, were usually responsible for commissioning the gilt-bronze mounts, which were required to closely fit the shape of the vase. In the case of this pair of vases, the design of the mounts includes both Rococo and Neoclassical motifs, suggesting a date of manufacture between 1760 and 1770, a period of transition between the two styles. The mounts incorporate putti, floral swags, shells, and scrolling vegetation, all unrelated stylistically to the vase's mol

The Attarouthi Treasure - Chalice. Culture: Byzantine. Dimensions: Overall: 6 15/16 x 9 3/8 x 5 11/16 in. (17.6 x 23.8 x 14.4 cm)Diam. of foot: 3 9/16 in. (9.1 cm)Diam. of knop: 1 5/8 in. (4.2 cm). Date: 500-650.These well-wrought liturgical objects-chalices, censers, a strainer, and a representation of the dove of the Holy Spirit-were among the possessions of a Christian church in the affluent merchant town of Attarouthi in Syria, then one of the richest lands of the Byzantine empire. The chalices, censers, and strainer were used for the Divine Liturgy, or Eucharist service, in which Christians take consecrated wine and bread in commemoration of the Last Supper and Christ's death. According to their inscriptions, written in Greek with several spelling variants, many of the objects were offerings of local citizens to the major church of the town, which was dedicated to Saint Stephen, and to a smaller church dedicated to Saint John (probably Saint John the Baptist). In the early seve

Two-armed candlestick with a men's and a women's figure. The candlestick is composed of the following eight parts, of which only the first two are removable: the foot, the trunk, the two figures, the two fat catchers and the two candle holders. The tribe screwed in the foot is fixed with a nut. The thread attached in the strain with tin or lead has released later. The round profiled foot is over in a holland portion that narrows upwards and that is closed by a collar. The two diamond-shaped arms of the trunk are turned at the bottom around each other and there is a hexagonal base there and a hexagonal capital. They end in hexagonal pads for the two standing figures. The woman wears a long side, of which she ceases the skirt with her right hand, however, her feet are not clearly indicated.

Turban Helmet. Culture: Turkish or Iranian, in the style of Turkman armor. Dimensions: H. 12 1/4 in. (31.1 cm); Diam. 9 1/2 in. (24.1 cm); Wt. 2 lb. 9 oz. (1161 g). Date: 15th century.Helmets of this type are usually called turban helmets becuase of their large bulbous shape and the flutings that imitate the folds of a turban. Because certain dervish groups wore turbans wound with a prescribed number of folds to represent an important mystical number, it is likely that turban helmets were regarded not merely as armor but also as a kind of religious insignia, their very shape marking the wearer as a fighter in a Holy War.Turban helmets, together with mail-and-plate armor of matching decoration, were intended for the heavy cavalry and are recorded as early as the fourteenth century. The examples exhibited here appear to have belonged to the dynasty of Ak-Koyunlu (White Sheep Turkoman) that ruled northwestern Iran and Anatolia in the fifteenth century.

Cabinet 1640-1660 Augsburg. Cabinets made in the southern German town of Augsburg during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are famous for their ornate decoration, which was typically executed in ebony veneer and ivory inlay. This exceptional example also includes delicately carved figures, bronze mounts, and narrative panels made from ivory and stained wood relief. The exquisite craftsmanship of this decoration is matched in inventiveness by the cabinetís interior structure, which is part display case, part tool chest, and part safe-deposit box. Hidden compartments to the right of a built-in clock (a 1715 replacement of an earlier timepiece) contain a set of five medicine canisters and at least twenty-two other utensils, including hammers, scissors, and a mortar and pestle. These and the other compartments in the cabinet would often have housed jewelry, gems, and important papers, among other precious items. Thematically, the cabinetís decoration ranges from pure ornament to hunt

Pair of candelabra with Winged Victories ca. 1810-15 Pierre Philippe Thomire French Winged Victories, symbols of military triumph, were a staple of Napoleonic decoration. These candelabra are comprised of Hellenistic winged figures of Nike or Victory, arms upraised and supporting floral wreaths from which branch ten candle sockets decorated with fluting, acanthus leaves, and spirals. Torches of flowers in the center are supported by spirals. The rectangular bases with wreaths in relief and stylized artichokes support the figures above.Similar candelabra were designed by Charles Percier (1764-1838) for the boudoir of Empress Josephine at the Chteau de Saint-Cloud, where they were identified in the 1805 and 1807 inventories. Percier's original drawing of his candelabra (entitled Pieces of furniture in a "boudoir") is in the Metropolitan Museum's collection.. Pair of candelabra with Winged Victories.

Box with scene depicting Roman hero Gaius Mucius Scaevola before the Etruscan king Lars Porsena. Culture: British, London. Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): 1 3/4 × 4 9/16 × 3 5/8 in. (4.4 × 11.6 × 9.2 cm). Goldsmith: P R (British, early-mid 18th century). Maker: Chased by George Michael Moser (1706-1783). Date: 1741.Although this box is one of the finest surviving examples of eighteenth-century English goldsmiths' work, little is known about its manufacture and history, or even its intended function. The comparatively large size of the box suggests that it was not meant to contain snuff but rather may have served as a presentation box, intended to reward a specific feat or service. The box is marked with the initials "P. R.," which have been interpreted as the mark of a silversmith named Peter Russell, but this identification is far from conclusive. The only secure information is provided by the signature on the lid of George Michael Moser, followed by the date 1741. Moser was a chaser

Pair of Stirrups and Ring Bit 19th century Turkish If the shape of the stirrups, with their wide curved footplates and their flaring sides, as well as the ring bit, are typical of Turkish horse tack, their pierced decoration is European-inspired. The ring bit is a strong instrument distinguished by the fact that the curb chain is replaced by a ring attached at the top of the mouthpiece, going around the horses lower jaw. The ring would press the sensitive chin of the horse when the reins are pulled. Typical of the Islamic world, ring bits were introduced to Spain during the Arab presence, and then kept by the Spaniards for their light cavalry (used in the genette or jineta riding style). Brought into the New World during the Spanish conquest, they were also commonly used in many Latin American countries until the late 19th century.. Pair of Stirrups and Ring Bit.

These dealers also invented new models for porcelain by giving them pierced mounts and turning them into incense burners or potpourri holders. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
