Lot 572 – Egyptian Granite Cramp of Seti I

This large granite clamp formed a part of a building or temple during the reign of Seti I, as shown by the pharaoh’s cartouche. Such pieces were usually made of wood and have since deteriorated, making this an exceptional survivor of early architecture. Seti I is celebrated for expanding Egypt’s power and commissioning great monuments, including the temple of Abydos.

Lot 792 – Graeco-Roman Copy of the Venus de Milo Type
A striking representation of the goddess Venus and an enduring symbol of love and beauty. The Romans admired Greek ideals and adopted them into their own culture, making the image of Aphrodite the standard of beauty throughout the empire. This life-sized example reflects just that.

Lot 817 – Monumental Sabaean Offering Table
Measuring 48 cm × 85 cm, this impressive piece would have been a central feature of an ancient temple dedicated to the moon and sun deities. Monumental offering tables of this kind are extremely rare and were likely used for important ceremonies.

Lot 823 – Apulian Calyx Krater with Funerary Scene by the Varrese Painter
Created by Greek communities in southern Italy, Apulian kraters were placed in tombs as offerings. The renowned Varrese Painter was known for complex compositions honouring the dead. This finely preserved example, 51cm tall, would be a powerful statement piece in any established collection.
