Pair of Ivory Figures, 18th Century, Germany
This finely carved pair of ivory figures portrays two beggars—identifiable by their worn garments and modest belongings, including a walking stick and a travel bag. The lifelike depiction of people on the margins of society reflects the growing interest in everyday life seen in 17th-century Dutch genre painting. Executed in the manner of Wilhelm Krüger (1680–1756), a German sculptor celebrated for his intricate ivory work
Minor restorations; CITES certificate (EU only).
Provenance: Dutch private collection.

A rare wooden casket with polychrome and gilded pastiglia relief, Italy, 15th century.

The box is adorned with four finely executed scenes from the life of an unknown martyr — beautifully preserved and remarkably vivid after centuries.

Dimensions: 15.5 × 10.4 × 9 cm

In overall good condition for its age, with minor losses to the surface and possible retouching to the polychromy. The ball feet are likely later additions.

🕯️ In 2002, the Lowe Art Museum (Miami) presented Pastiglia Boxes: Hidden Treasures of the Italian Renaissance from the collection of the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica (Rome).
📖 A richly illustrated catalogue was published in English and Italian.

📍Provenance: Dutch private collection
