Including a divers e range of objects - richly-carved console tables and candle-stands, a spectacul ar mirror and clock, statuettes, bronzes and busts, etchings and engravings - th e works feature all manner of fantastic motifs. Angels and deities, foliage and flowers metamorphose into animals and mythological figures, abstract scrolls and invented ornaments.

Published alongside an exhibition at The Henry Moore Institute, Leed s and The J Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, 2008 - 2009.…
