From ancient Cyprus to modern-day Australia, these captivating pieces offer a glimpse into the artistic expressions of different eras. Marvel at the Bas relief from the Anzac Memorial in Sydney, Australia, where intricate details tell stories of sacrifice and bravery. Feel the bone china Prometheus Vase's delicate beauty as it transports you back to 19th-century craftsmanship. Travel even further back in time with the Bronze wheeled vessel-stand from 1225-1100 BC, an artifact that speaks volumes about ancient Cypriot culture. Then immerse yourself in allegorical wisdom through An Allegory of Wisdom's oil on canvas masterpiece from 1879. Experience contrasting emotions when faced with Descending Night's bronze sculpture from 1914, its brown patina evoking a sense of melancholy. In contrast, Thais captures elegance and allure through its gilt bronze and carved ivory composition atop a marble base. Witness exoticism come to life with Kora's gilt cold-painted bronze figure on a red marble plinth or admire the rare silvered bronze figure of an exotic dancer on a black marble base. These sculptures celebrate sensuality while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. Sunburst shines brightly as an early 20th-century piece crafted from gilt and cold-painted bronze resting upon an onyx base—a true testament to human creativity pushing boundaries beyond traditional materials. Explore unexpected intersections between art forms as musical motifs adorn A Wurlitzer 42 Victory Jukebox from c. 1943-45—where figures dance alongside melodies within this wooden case adorned with painted panels. Finally, Les Amis de Toujours invites us into the roaring twenties through its bronze and ivory statuette featuring exquisite gilt and silver cold-painted patinas—a celebration of enduring friendship during times of change.
