An absolutely exceptional original work of art on canvas, inscribed verso:
“Erland Tait
Science, Religion and Art (in various states of disrepair) discussing new developments in energy efficient mechanisms and the effects on modern music”.
This work is breathtaking in size at 5ft 10”!
All the subjects depicted are collecting passions of ours: classical sculpture, skeletons/osteology, and anatomy and the ecorche figure.
We hope this gets to live at Belle and Beast for a very long time! We love it!

This wonderful, large old vertebrae from a horse or cow has been hand painted to depict the priest John Wesley, being an English cleric, theologian and evangelist who was a leader of a revival movement within the Church of England known as Methodism (the few of these types of pieces which have been documented state they were made to poke fun at his new evangelical religion of the period).
This outstanding piece of unsigned folk art is a very rare thing indeed and is a must for any wunderkammer. We absolutely love it!

The best witch’s ball we have seen let alone had to offer you.
This huge (bust is life size), original 19th century (or earlier) example is aged to perfection, complete with its handcrafted original copper topper.
The ball is hand blown mercury glass: the top portion still has a high shine but the bottom portion is foxed in the most beautiful way.
A golden orb, like the sun, to chase away the darker elements in life.
Dimensions:
All approximate
Diameter from edge to edge 26cm

A wonderful, very large (40cm!) crystal gazing ball and stand, adorned with the most beautiful winged putto.
The cherub is reminiscent of an Atlas figures, holding the weight of the ball on their back.
The base of the stand is well rubbed silver plate on brass. It is marked for exceptional maker Mappin & Webb, and was retailed by Lyons (of Lyons cake fame, founded 1884).
The ball is a later addition as it is fairly smooth whereas very early ones are rippled. It nestles perfectly in the stand. It’s huge at around 20cm alone! It’s extremely heavy.
These are very rare things and becoming so far to find, so do not miss out. This is a stunning, show stopping, unusual example.
The perfect centerpiece on a gypsy table, or addition to your wunderkammer. A great piece for any interior.

An awesome old shop sign for J P Joyce, famously of Beaumaris, Anglesey.
The contents of this old chemist were dispersed when the shop shut and now this wonderful sign can adorn your home or commercial space! It would look superb lit up or as a light box, but displays excellently as is.
