Lot 257 Charles Louis Muller, French School 1815-1892 'Curiosity' oil on canvas, 115cm x 87.5cm


£2,000-£3,000


Age, which was created in 1957 by Dr Ing Fiorito, an aeromodeller from Turin. Cygan was quite a celebrity in the 1950s


and ‘60s and in 1958 he visited London’s Olympia, where he demonstrated how he could walk, turn, lift and accept spoken commands as well to respond to signals and light rays. Also featured are a collection of convex and concave mirrors,


from Victorian fairground distortion examples to a huge Second World War concave glass reflector from a Royal Navy battleship, alongside an oversized pair of Balmoral boots, commissioned by Rhodes Rawling of Halifax around 1880 to showcase their


boot-making skills at exhibitions. Very appealing are a pair of


diminutive, 9 x 6in (23 x 15cm), late


Victorian trade signs, probably made for a pet shop or street trader, one showing English lop-eared rabbits and the other a terrier with the line Dogs cropped in


artistic style. Although the pieces are for sale, prices


are as yet unconfirmed, so contact Nathaniel directly. www.mgoldstein.co.uk
