[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1768062, member: 2844"]I think the objects are there to be used in still life paintings, or as inspiration. They look too diverse in style and era to have been made by one person. It looks like the bust has just been taken out of a box, where it was wrapped in textile. There is also a French looking tureen, a very nice Chinoiserie vase, some brass candlesticks. The brush pot looks like an old apothecary jar missing a lid. And the Baroque/Rococo style plinth of the saint looks very Iberian: [IMG]https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/nmm-jpg.236877/[/IMG][/QUOTE]
