Lot 45 | Ein Paar silberne Klinenbeschläge, römisch, 1. Jhdt. n. Chr.
Estimate value
€ 14 000
Zwei spiegelsymmetrisch angelegte Klinenbeschläge ansonsten gleichartiger Gestaltung, welche die Frontseite der geschwungenen Lehnen (fulcra) an den Enden einer Kline verzierten.
Unten innerhalb eines runden "Medaillons" die Büste eines Satyrs mit spitzen Ohren, wulstigen Augenbrauen und Stupsnase. Unterhalb der Ohren Zotteln am Hals. Das kräftige Kopfhaar nach hinten gekämmt. Um die Schulter ein Ziegenfell gelegt, das auf der Brust verknotet ist. Im abgewinkelten Mittelteil, etwas vom Rand nach Innen versetzt, ein gewölbter Rahmen mit einem Rapport aus eng gesetzten Winkeln mit eingerollten Enden. Darin ein gleichfalls im niedrigen Relief ausgearbeiteter Rebast mit Blättern, Trauben und Ranken. Am oberen, abgerundeten Ende ein detailliert ausgearbeiteter Leopardenkopf mit geöffnetem Maul. Davor ein Leopardenfell mit durch Punzen markierten Flecken. Die Flächen von Ziegenfell, Rahmen und Weinstock sowie das Leopardenfell vergoldet. Die drei Bildflächen separat gearbeitet und auf ein kompliziertes Stegwerk mit rechtwinklig abgebogenem breiten Rand gelötet. In diesem breiten Rand in regelmäßigen Abständen zehn feine Löcher, mit denen die Beschläge auf den Fronten der beiden Lehnen mit feinen Nägeln befestigt waren.
Handwerklich eindrucksvoll ausgeführte Beschläge eines luxuriösen Mobiliars, dessen dionysische Motive gut zu einem Symposion in einem vornehmen Haushalt passen. Sie dürfen als exemplarisch für die Lebensart von Angehörigen der römischen Oberschicht angesehen werden.
Abgesehen von minimalen Ausbrüchen und kleinen Rissen des unverzierten Randes in ausgezeichneter Erhaltung.
Länge in der Diagonalen 18,5 cm. Maximale Höhe 3,5 cm.
Provenienz: Süddeutsche Privatsammlung.
Two mirror-symmetric kline fittings of otherwise similar design, which decorated the front of the curved backrests (fulcra) at the ends of a kline.
Below, within a round "medallion", the bust of a satyr with pointed ears, bulging eyebrows and snub nose. Below the ears, bobbles on the neck. The strong hair on the head is combed back. A goat skin is wrapped around the shoulders and knotted on the chest. In the angled central section, slightly offset inwards from the edge, a curved frame with a rapport of closely set angles with curled ends. In it a vine with leaves, grapes and tendrils, also worked out in low relief. At the upper, rounded end a detailed leopard's head with open mouth. In front of it a leopard skin with spots marked by punches. The surfaces of the goatskin, frame and vine as well as the leopard skin gilded. The three picture surfaces worked separately and soldered onto a complicated bar construction with a wide rim bent at right angles. In this wide rim, ten fine holes were made at regular intervals, with which the fittings were fastened with fine nails on the fronts of the two backrests.
Impressively crafted fittings of a luxurious piece of furniture whose Dionysian motifs fit well with a symposium in a distinguished household. They may be regarded as exemplary of the lifestyle of members of the Roman upper class.
Apart from minimal chips and small cracks of the undecorated rim in excellent condition.
Length on the diagonal 18.5 cm. Maximum height 3.5 cm.
Provenance: Southern German private collection.
Place of origin:Roman Empire
