Antique German 15th- 16th Century Infantry Armour with Bascinet, Sword
Halberd
Located in Doha, QA
This extraordinary and remarkably well-preserved ensemble represents a complete set of late medieval German infantry armour, dating from the 15th to early 16th century. Forged entirely from high-quality steel plates and joined with traditional leather straps for proper articulation and fit, the armour embodies the superb craftsmanship and engineering of the German armourers of the period.
The helmet is a finely made European bascinet, the classic combat helmet of the era. It features a gracefully pointed visor and hinged cheek plates, designed to provide both excellent facial protection and freedom of movement, while allowing sufficient ventilation and audibility during combat. The bascinet retains its original character and displays the subtle fluted detailing that became a hallmark of German armour-making in the transitional phase from the Gothic to the early Renaissance styles.
The suit is mounted on an antique wooden mannequin stand measuring 175 cm in height and includes its original linen undergarment and chainmail shirt...

Naomi Campbell. Signed Limited Edition with Allen Jones sculpted case.
By Allen Jones, TASCHEN
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Edition of 1,000 + 200 APs.
Hardcover with four fold-outs, signed by Naomi Campbell, 496 pages, 33 x 46.2 cm (13 x 18.2 in.), plus companion volume, 368 pages, within a multiple artwork by Allen Jones.
Supermodel, entrepreneur, activist, provocateur. Since her teenage rise to stardom, Naomi Campbell has dazzled the world with her looks, her strength, and her irrepressible spirit. The first black model to grace the cover of French Vogue and TIME magazine, she has been the face of hundreds of magazine covers, countless editorials and advertising campaigns, and a favorite subject for some of the best photographers of the 1980s, 1990s, and today.
This signed, limited, two-volume Collector’s Edition celebrates Campbell’s remarkable career amidst the greatest legends of fashion and photography with jaw-dropping images and exclusive autobiographical text. Volume 1 showcases the very best of Campbell’s portfolio, with photographs from the likes of Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, Richard Avedon, Anton Corbijn, Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Paolo Roversi, Mario Testino, Ellen von Unwerth, and Bruce Weber, and such unforgettable shoots as Peter Lindbergh’s joyful sequence of Naomi dancing as Josephine Baker on the beach in Deauville for Italian Vogue, or Jean-Paul Goude’s stunning composition of Naomi racing a cheetah for U.S. Harper's Bazaar.
Volume 2 features Naomi’s extensive autobiographical text, illustrated by magazine covers, ads, never-before-seen personal snapshots, video stills, and more. Naomi recalls her childhood; the beginning of her modeling career; her work with fashion’s greatest designers, including Azzedine Alaïa, John Galliano, Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld, Gianni Versace; and experiencing the meteoric rise to superstardom. Photographer biographies and an illustrated appendix are also included.
In a dazzling meeting of art and fashion, Volume 1 is presented in a multiple artwork by British pop art luminary, Allen Jones. Best known for his controversial fetish furniture...

Necklace compréssion by César Baldaccini, signed.
By César Baldaccini
Located in SAINT-OUEN-SUR-SEINE, FR
Rare pendentif dit coppression par César, signé.
« Ses parents, Omer et Lelia Baldaccini, italiens d’origine toscane, tenaient un bar à Marseille où César est né, avec sa sœur jumelle Amandine, en 1921 dans le quartier populaire de la Belle-de-Mai, au no 71 de la rue Loubon, dans le 3e arrondissement[1]. « Je suis fondamentalement un autodidacte absolu », dira-t-il[2]. À l'époque, il dessine et bricole des carrioles pour son petit frère avec des boîtes de conserve. Néanmoins, après avoir d'abord travaillé chez son père (il aide également un voisin charcutier pour un maigre salaire après avoir quitté l'école à douze ans), il va suivre de 1935 à 1939 les cours de l'École supérieure des beaux-arts de Marseille ; en 1937, il obtient trois prix, en gravure, en dessin et en architecture[3].
Non mobilisable pendant la guerre (il échappe également au STO), il vit d'arnaques avant de s'installer à Paris pour être admis, en 1943, à l'École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts avec Michel Guino, Albert Féraud, Daniel David, Eugène Dodeigne et Philippe Hiquily, comme lui dans l’atelier de Marcel Gimond. En 1945, il retourne à Marseille pour épouser Maria Astruc, avec qui il monte un commerce (ils divorceront en 1959). Il revient en 1946 à Paris où il occupe un atelier dans un ancien bordel au 21 rue de l'Échaudé, dont les chambres, à la suite de la loi Marthe Richard, avaient été attribuées à des étudiants[4]. Il y rencontre Émilenne Deschamps, qui deviendra par la suite une de ses égéries.
Devant l'impossibilité pour lui de travailler la pierre, en raison de son coût, il se tourne vers d'autres matériaux[3]. Dès 1947, il travaille le plâtre et le fer. En 1949, il est initié à la soudure à l'arc dans une menuiserie industrielle de Trans-en-Provence et utilise le plomb en feuilles repoussées et des fils de fer soudés. En 1951, il visite Pompéi et reste marqué par les moulages des corps des habitants pris dans la lave[3]. En 1952, il utilise des matériaux de récupération peu coûteux et réalise ses premières sculptures en ferrailles soudées : ses moyens sont alors toujours modestes. Ainsi, par manque d'argent et pour s'offrir du marbre, César va récupérer dans les décharges de ferraille les matériaux de ses premières sculptures : des tubes, des boulons, des vis qui deviennent des insectes ou se retrouvent dans les courbes puissantes de la Vénus de Villetaneuse (1962).
En 1954, il expose à la galerie Lucien Durand à Paris et obtient le prix « collabo » pour une sculpture intitulée Le Poisson[5], réalisée à Villetaneuse, ville où il travaillera une douzaine d'années grâce à l'aide d'un industriel local, Léon Jacques[6]. Il acquiert la célébrité lorsque son œuvre est achetée 100 000 francs en 1955 par l'État pour le musée national d'art moderne[7]. La même année, il expose au Salon de mai. L'année suivante, le MNAM achète Chauve-souris de 1954 et le musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris Le scorpion de 1955. À partir de 1954 (Torse, MOMA), il réalise également des sculptures en métal soudé, puis en bronze partiellement poli, de femmes plantureuses (Ginette, 1958, Victoire de Villetaneuse, 1965).
En 1956, il participe à la Biennale de Venise puis à la Biennale de São Paulo et à la Documenta II en 1959. En 1958, il signe un contrat avec la galerie parisienne...
