One of the lots for our forthcoming Fine Art & Antiques Sale on the 10th of June is this fine figure of Neptune and Thetis. Bearing the initials of Friedrich Augustus, this dates the figure to either Friedrich Augustus II (1836-1854) or Friedrich Augustus III (1904-1918) this corresponds to the Meissen crossed swords mark 1825-1924. This particular model, from the Mythology range, was initially commissioned for Catherine the Great and the figure of Thetis is rumoured to have been based upon her.

The results for this auction are now online.

One of the highlights of this auction was the oil on canvas by Salvatore Petruolo, depicting "A Dusty Road at Sorrento". There was a great deal of interest, and five phone bidders, four of whom were from Italy. The painting finally sold to a buyer in the room for £18,000 plus buyer's premium.
