Agate Carving of a Seated Monkey By Alfred Zimmerman, Idar-Oberstein, Germany. Sold for US$ 15,000 (€12,075). Photo Bonhams.
Carved from a single piece of fine quality, translucent agate, fully utilizing the banded nature of the original rough to render the primate, with brown to the back, graduating to translucent grey to the front. The virtuoso craftsmanship of these carvings is best seen in the rendering of the hands and faces–in this case the observer can easily see the extreme fineness with which they have been carved. Signed with monogram AZ for Alfred Zimmerman. Height 3in
Offered in a custom-fitted ultrasuede box.

An agate cameo of Socrates, probably Roman. Photo Bonhams
Oval, in profile facing left, against a blue-grey ground, within a later gold mount, ring size N, length 16mm, width 10mm. Estimate £800 – 1,200 (€1,000 – 1,500) – Lot 4
Provenance: An American family, New York, formed 1930s-1990s.
Socrates, 470/69-399 BC, is credited as the father of modern Western philosophy. He was an Athenian citizen who devoted his life to philosophy but because he did not write anything, he is also an elusive historical figure. What we know about his life, his conversations, his beliefs (virtue in knowledge, self-awareness, etc), even his satyr-like looks, is from the subjective writings of his pupils Plato and Xenophon and the dramatist Aristophanes. Surviving classical portraits were probably rendered after his death. His image was worn by his followers and was later a popular subject in Roman, Renaissance and neo-Classical cameos whereby the wearer demonstrated his taste and refinement by his knowledge of ancient Greek culture.
