About me
Stucco bust
Amenemhet III.
Egypt (Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Denmark)
Very nice museum replica of an Egyptian bust. The unusually realistic portrait shows
Amenemhet III.
(1842-1795 BC), the last important ruler of the Middle Kingdom.
The head was believed to have been part of a statue and is considered to be one of the sculptural masterpieces of its time. The exact location is unknown; part of the ruler's crown is missing, part of the nose and parts of the ears are chipped off. The original has been in the Copenhagen's Egyptian collection since it was purchased in 1849
Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek
(AEIN 924).
The only slightly reduced replica was made after the original was cast by the museum,
second half 20th Century, plaster, hollow casting. Minimal patina due to age. Otherwise very nice condition
Height: 38 cm Weight: 2 kg

I enjoy beautiful things and it is my greatest pleasure to find them, to lure them into their stories, to spend time with them and then set them free again. Add to that a passionate interest in exceptional and high crafted objects. You surely know the exciting feeling when you see or experience something special, when the heart bounces in excitement and the joy inside it spreads. That's what I wanted more in my life and that's how this shop came about. The foundation stone was a study of literature and art history as well as cultural communication. Curiosity, thirst for knowledge and a lot of collaboration with amazing personalities in the art and design world are how I got myself to where I am today. Through antiquities, history becomes tangible in the literal sense, one can perceive it sensually. They calmly defy the constant change of fashions and the taste of the times. They are like a bridge between past and present. For me personally they are an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Some objects give up puzzles, lock themselves up; others quite frankly reveal their past. They radiate joie de vivre, astonish or enchant us; make a collector's heart beat faster or become good friends and a meaningful place in your lives. They may be bulky or controversial, but they are never boring. I believe the stories, the hands, and the tradition behind the objects are equally as important as their aesthetic qualities. Antique objects can adds so much value to your life, and I personally cannot imagine a home without it. Each piece in my shop has been thoughtfully and personally chosen. What unites them is their craftsmanship, care and attention to detail. Enjoy them.
