Joachim Murat on Prancing Horse 19th Century Bronze Figure, a cast bronze knight, equestrian figure on a green marble shaped base, probably inspired to a famous painting and depicting Joachim Murat  the king of Naples and of  Two Sicilies,  wearing one of his uniforms on a prancing horse. The figures of the knight and the horse are embellished with gilded elements,  beautiful fire gildings decorating the profile on the edge of the base and the gilt flag on the ground under the horse, featuring the map of the conquered territories. The sculpture has an original burnished patina, an oxidized silver finish that creates an elegant contrast with the gilding and underlines the high quality chissel of this antique French handwork. This ancient bronze sculpture is in excellent condition, it is of French origin and dates back to the mid-19th century.

A lovely carved figural Black Forest inkwell in the form of a Dog's head, with great detail and retaining two large glass eyes. The hinged lid opens to reveal an inner original glass ink bottle. Dating to the late 19th century, of Swiss origin,  it is in excellent condition.
