注意事项

Prospective purchasers are advised that several countries prohibit the importation of property containing materials from endangered species, including but not limited to coral, ivory and tortoiseshell. Accordingly, prospective purchasers should familiarize themselves with relevant customs regulations prior to bidding if they intend to import this lot into another country. No VAT will be charged on the hammer price, but VAT at 17.5% will be added to the buyer's premium, which is invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis.

拍品专文

These whimsical wall-lights are inspired by Pierre Delbee's celebrated 'Archimboldesque' wall-lights sold in the 'Boulle To Jansen Sale' at Christie's, London, 11-12 June 2003, lot 6. Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1527-93) is rightly celebrated for his series of anthropomorphic composite portraits made up of a variety of objects from daily life, both natural and man-made.
