What you’ll find in this sale
Bronze & metal sculpture highlights
This selection features multiple sculptural themes that collectors consistently search for:
- Animal sculpture: a dynamic pair of deer on a stone/marble base, plus an elegant animal figure (sleek hound/horse form) ideal for modern or classic interiors.
- Figurative bronzes: graceful female forms, expressive movement/dance-style figures, and narrative compositions that bring “gallery energy” into the home.
- Decorative stands and mounted figures: statement pieces designed to sit proudly on a console, sideboard, or library shelf.
Clocks with presence
Clocks aren’t just timekeepers—they’re design anchors:
- A classic ornate mantel clock with architectural detail (a true focal point for a living room).
- A refined glass-case desk/display clock—minimal, elegant, and highly collectible for design-focused buyers.
Art glass and interior accents
For collectors of colour, cut, and light:
- A bold modern art glass vase with graphic geometry.
- A richly faceted green glass vessel that catches light beautifully.
- Sculptural crystal-style decorative pieces suited to contemporary interiors and display cabinets.
Religious & devotional objects
One standout is a gothic-style wall shrine featuring a Madonna figure, a timeless devotional accent that appeals to collectors of religious art and traditional interiors.
Porcelain figures & decorative candelabra
Decorative porcelain and figural candleholders bring classic “salon” charm—ideal for collectors who love layered, romantic interiors.
Why collectors love these categories (quick expert tips)
When you visit the viewing days, keep an eye on:
- Sculpture finish & patina (even ageing and pleasing tone often adds value).
- Base material (stone/marble bases can elevate presence and stability).
- Glass quality (clarity, weight, and crisp edges in cut patterns).
- Clock condition (case integrity, dial condition, and movement functionality).
- Restoration vs. originality (honest wear can be desirable; heavy repairs should be assessed).
