A sixteenth century seated bronze Buddha with traces of the original gilding. Over the centuries, this devotional figure has acquired the most magnificent patina. The figure conforms to the Chien Seng style, which emerged from China in the 3rd century. This saw the Buddhist iconography shift from Indian models to encompass the Chinese decorative style and also Daoist and Confuscion ideals. Seated in virasana with his right hand in bhumisparshamudra and wearing the Buddhist monastic robes known as samghati, his face has been modelled with a serene expression.

Thailand or Laos, 16th century.

A pair of salt glazed pottery models of the Warwick vase, each resting on classical square plinths. Perfect for display both indoors and out.

The Warwick vase was a Roman marble vase discovered by Gavin Hamilton at Hadrian's Villa in 1771, where he had sought and was given permission to excavate the marshes on the site, where it was discovered in need of restoration. It was sold to Sir William Hamilton, who passed it to his nephew Sir George Greville, 2nd Earl of Warwick, where it was placed in the gardens of Warwick castle. It now resides in the Burrell collection, Glasgow.

A pair of English stained, painted and leaded glass windows. Very much taking their cue from the Pre-Raphaelite movement, the design for these windows harks back to the medieval period, in both the composition and the dress of the subjects. The twin scene depicts the seasons, spring and autumn, with a woman admiring the blossom on a tree, whilst the man gathers wheat with a scythe.

English, mid-19th century.
