SILVER LANGOUSTINE SPAIN, 20TH CENTURY

SILVER LANGOUSTINE SPAIN, 20TH CENTURY

A naturalistic decorative figure of a langoustine crafted by Spanish silversmiths from high-grade silver. The sculpture is created using casting techniques followed by chasing and careful hand finishing that render the structure of the shell, claws and legs of the marine crustacean.The figure is distinguished by expressive plasticity and precise anatomical modelling. The segmented carapace and tail form a dynamic silhouette, while the elongated antennae and legs enhance the sense of movement. A notable feature of the piece is its articulated construction: the body is composed of linked segments and the claws are mounted on small hinges. The silver surface combines matte and polished areas, emphasizing the relief of the shell and joints.Such silver figures were traditionally used as original decorations for a fish or seafood table, continuing the European tradition of naturalistic table ornaments.Marks: Full Barcelona assay mark; silver fineness mark “915”; additional maker’s mark and model number. The Barcelona assay control system in this form was used between 1934 and 1988.Dimensions: Height: 9 cm; Width: 20 cm; Depth: 9 cm.Weight: 124 g.Condition: Good. The articulated elements function correctly.

PORCELAIN PLAQUE WITH A GENRE SCENE “CARD SHARPS” KPM, BERLIN, TURN OF THE 19TH–20TH CENTURIES

PORCELAIN PLAQUE WITH A GENRE SCENE “CARD SHARPS” KPM, BERLIN, TURN OF THE 19TH–20TH CENTURIES

An exquisite porcelain plaque, finely decorated with delicate polychrome painting depicting a dramatic genre scene of a card game. The composition is inspired by a work of the French Baroque master Valentin de Boulogne (1591–1632), known for his emotionally charged Caravaggesque scenes. The moment captures the tension of the game: one player secretly hides a card in an act of deception, while his opponent watches closely. In the background, a third figure—a prompter—whispers instructions from the shadows. The use of chiaroscuro adds volume and atmosphere, echoing the influence of Caravaggio’s school.The painterly skill of Georg Nußmann, an artist of the KPM manufactory, is revealed in the realistic rendering of fabric textures, expressive facial features, and subtle color gradations. The painting elevates the porcelain to the realm of fine art, evoking the spirit of Baroque masters.Marks:Impressed sceptre mark with KPM initials, mark “Sz”, model number 237–158, corresponding to the Royal Porcelain Manufactory (KPM), circa 1901.Dimensions:Plaque: 16 × 23.5 cmWith frame: Height: 34 cm, Width: 41.5 cm, Depth: 7 cmCondition: Good condition, without restorations or damage.Provenance: Germany, Berlin, early 20th century.
