He was famed for his landscapes and village scenes, but by Japanese vases and, was also renowned for his often drastically detailed depictions of battles. coupled with the distinctive Die Plünderung nach der Schlacht (The looting after the battle), a 2ft x 3ft 9in glazes he created, they were a great success. Dalpayrat’s studio executed not only his (60cm x 1.14m) panel, which is coming up for sale at Karl & Faber in Munich own models, but also those of contemporary designers such as Alphonse Voisin- on November 14, is a typical example of his art.

Mitsukini Defying the Skeleton Spectre van-ham.com Ten minutes to make impact The French clockmaker Antide Janvier, who constructed his first mechanical globe when he was only 15, is primarily famous for his highly complex astronomical clocks and planetaria. He sold several extravagant timepieces to the French royal family, who rewarded him with the title of Clockmaker to the King. Among his other specialities were so-called audience clocks, an example of which, from c.1800, is being offered by Dr Crott in Mannheim on November 7. The mahogany case with two gilt bronze sphinxes is a reflection of the then current passion for Egyptian decorative motifs. As the name implies, these clocks were designed to denote the time – in this case 10 minutes – allowed to a supplicant to bring forth his petition. The 10 minutes are marked on a small subsidiary dial, while the main chapter ring indicates 24 hours. True to his fascination for all things astronomical, Janvier also incorporated a refined system for showing the age of the moon, on a small central disc, and the moon phases, which are demonstrated via a small rotating moon, fitted into the hour hand. The guide is €32,000-40,000. uhren-muser.de
