Antinea bronze and ivory figure by Chiparus – £41,000 at Ewbank’s.
Black marble bust of a Moor – £65,000 at Chiswick Auctions
Figurative art was the other big seller in early September, led by the waxwork of Medardo Rosso’s sculpture Bambina Ridente (see last week’s News pages) which topped a successful week of sales at Chiswick Auctions (25% buyer’s premium) when it more than doubled the top estimate at £180,000.
