A Rare c.1920-40 Crystal Ball On Fine Gilt Bronze StandOrigin: English Period: Early Mid Twentieth Century Provenance: Unknown Date: c. 1920 40 Height: 7. 5 inches (Overall) Diameter: 5 inches (The Sphere) Circumference: 17. 25 inches (The Sphere) Weight: 3. 9 kgs (The Sphere) The fine quality and well formed quartz (?) crystal ball sitting on an ornate moulded gilt bronze stand with floral swags surmounted by rams heads with curved horns terminating in tripod scroll feet survives from the second quarter

Painted in oils on canvas laid down on panel

With something of the feel of Richard Scarry’s influence about them

We can deduce that these pictures were painted in one of Carpathias large smoke rooms

in the 12th century

or moan about low wages

but does not suffer for it

such as this

Four rosettes sit in each corner giving light to the busy ground

waiting amongst grasses and mosses

though there are two holes on symmetrical sides of the skull

which may explain the physical incarnate presence of this relic

The painting is apparently unsigned and has some wear to its surface with a slight layer of craquelure but no holes
