The Dowry Hand Carved Cabinet comes from the Swat Valley, a beautiful mountainous area of the Hindu Kush that straddles the Afghan / Pakistan Border. Most Families had one of these (of varying quality) and they were used for storing jewellery, clothes, a bride's dowry and even stocks of grain. The use of the adze rather than the plane indicates this is an earlier example, and is quite ornate compared to others in its use of chip hand carving. These Cabinets are now very hard to find and acquire as they come from a geographical area of civil unrest and warring factions. £100 - 150

Diana of Gabii - a large Continental life size plaster figure, standing, before a trunk on a shaped oval base, 183cm high, early 19th Century
This is a copy of the original marble which was excavated in 1792 from Bulargefe (Gabii) in Italy. It dates from around 1820. The original marble of Diana of Gabii was bought by Napoleon in 1807 and displayed in The Louvre in 1820 where it has remained ever since. Copies were made in composition which involved the construction of armatures of metal and hessian for strength and the body then modelled around them. Note how fine the modelling is and whilst it needs a little careful restoration it remains in fine original condition. A number of copies were made but it is doubtful whether many are still in existence today. This figure was found a few years ago in an old library in Belgium. £1000 - 1500
