A fine antique Louis XVI fireplace in a beautifully veined Seravezza marble. The fireplace has a moulded shelf which rests over a stop-fluted frieze, framed by acanthus paterae over elegant jambs.

French, mid 19th century.

Notes: Seravezza marble has been one of the most sought after since antiquity. Widely used by the Etruscans, the Tuscan quarries were later purchased by the Medici family, who used the marble for many of the buildings in Florence. Michelangelo was sent to open the quarry and improve access to it, but it has since closed, making fireplaces in this marble particularly sought after.

Notes: Time Recorders like this one would have been used to record the times workers came in and out of their place of work. Blick was started around 1900. In 1917 the company bought the sales rights for the Follet time stamp (USA). Blick was one of the two largest manufacturers of time recorders in the UK. In 1920 the National Time Recorder Company agreed to market their machines as 'Blick National' in the UK. In 1922 the company 'Blick Time Recorders Ltd' was established and in 1927 the word 'National' was was dropped and all machines being sold under the Blick name.

A rare pair of large cast iron Handyside urns after the the Medici Vase. These urns were manufactured by the renowned Andrew Handyside & Co Foundry, and as illustrated in the catalogue, are a near pair, with a different subject to the bas-relief friezes. The right is a faithful copy to the original Medici Vase, now on display at the Uffizi in Florence. Both are mounted on their original pedestals.

English, c.1851.

Notes: The Handyside Foundry exhibited this model at the Great Exhibition of 1851, as it was, and still remains, one of the most popular subjects from antiquity.

Having returned from his uncle's engineering business in Russia, the young engineer Andrew Handyside took over the Britannia iron works in Derby in 1848, a foundry that was known for the quality of its casting, owing to the fine sand that could be found in the region. He made a wide range of materials in cast iron, from garden ornaments, to iron buildings and bridges.
