Description

We are delighted to present Fine Ancient Art & Antiquities ? The Prince Collection. Commencing on 21st June at 1:00 PM (BST), the sale will be held at the Apollo Art Auctions London showroom, 63?64 Margaret Street, W1W 8SW. Bidding is available in-room and online via the Apollo Art Auctions platform, as well as Invaluable, The Saleroom, LiveAuctioneers and Interencheres. Spanning from the prehistoric and pre-dynastic periods (c. 7000 BC) through the Bronze Age, Neo-Assyrian and wider Near Eastern civilisations, and onward into the Egyptian, Greek, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine eras, the collection encompasses over eight millennia of ancient art, extending into the Renaissance period (c. AD 1600). Among the most important provenances is the Kofler-Truniger Collection of Lucerne, assembled by Ernst Kofler-Truniger (1899?1989) and Marthe Kofler-Truniger (1918?1999), renowned for their collection of Egyptian antiquities, ancient glass, medieval ivories, enamels and early works of art. The auction also includes works from The Prince Collection, a private collection formed through direct royal ownership. A selection of Egyptian antiquities in the sale also comes from the collection of Prof. Dr. Martin Eduard Winkler (1893?1982), the German historian and Russian scholar whose icon collection later formed the foundation of the Ikonen-Museum Recklinghausen. The sale further features pieces associated with the Cairo antiquities dealer Nicholas George Tano (1866?1924), whose family gallery supplied private collectors and museums, including the Louvre, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Additional pieces originate from the collection of German ethnologist Erika Krautkr?mer (1932?2022), the Antwerp collection of Dr. Felix Lauwers (1924?2002), and the Munich collection of the German historical author and researcher Siegfried Obermeier (1936?2011).
