A Vision of Vesuvius | Jacob Philipp Hackert

Upcoming in the May edition of Five Centuries, this dramatic painting by Jacob Philipp Hackert captures one of the most celebrated natural spectacles of the 18th century.

Our next Five Centuries auction offers collectors the opportunity to acquire fine art, furniture, silver, and decorative works spanning the 16th to the 20th century."One of the pleasures of putting together our Five Centuries sales is seeing what interesting and special things we uncover in our travels. There’s always something new (or rather, old) that captures my attention or has a fascinating story to tell.&nbsp;Our May Five Centuries offering is no different and delivers on all fronts. It’s full of a diverse variety of furniture, paintings, works of art, and objets to tempt buyers and collectors alike. &nbsp;With nearly 600 lots on offer, we kick things off with Act Two: Property from The Eccentric Trading Company, lots 1-67, a wide-ranging group of pieces from the London theatrical props house, The Eccentric Trading Company, a continuation of our fantastic single-owner auction last year, The Secret Life of Props.&nbsp;That’s followed by a compelling group of paintings that were on long-term loan to the National Trust for Scotland and displayed from 1973 until recently at The Georgian House in Edinburgh, sold on behalf of The F T Wayne Pictures Settlement Trust. These combined with our usual assortment of pieces sourced from across the UK and spanning the past five hundred years, guarantees not to disappoint. I hope you enjoy exploring the sale as much as we have enjoyed working on it." &nbsp;- Douglas Girton, Head of Fine Furniture &amp; Works of Art&nbsp;
