This extraordinary bronze sculpture, made in Vienna in 1940, depicts a crocodile in a dynamic, menacing pose, its jaws wide open in an aggressive expression that conveys strength and tension.

The anatomical rendering is astonishingly detailed: each individual scale is sculpted with minute precision, and the texture of the skin faithfully reproduces the roughness of the animal.

The curvature of the body and tail, which twists outward, gives movement and realism to the figure.

The slightly golden eyes, seem to peer at the viewer, reinforcing the subject's eerie and entrancing presence.

Gorgeous pair of Chinese benches dating from the early 20th century, made of fine exotic wood.

The black lacquered top is distinguished by a refined high-gloss finish, while the frame is embellished with exceptionally fine gilt carvings and bas-reliefs depicting elegant floral compositions that harmoniously frame their shape. 

Each bench features, in the center, a different decorative scene created entirely by hand with great skill, rich in detail, evidence of the high level of craftsmanship of the period.

Very elegant English Victorian writing desk from the 1820s.
