From the golden age of speed, engineering and craftsmanship.

This beautifully handcrafted Bantam Midget Spindizzy is a high-quality replica inspired by the incredible tether cars that raced at over 150 mph during the late 1930s. Built in remarkable 1:8 scale with polished metalwork, mahogany wood, leather details and a beautifully engineered cockpit.

A true gentleman’s desk piece. More than a model; this is automotive art and high-tech nostalgia at its very best.

Now available in red at Brooklyn Antiques Gallery.

Carved Wooden Figure — circa early 20th century

A charming, expressive figure with a warm, original patina.
Carved in wood and finished with rich, time-softened tones, standing approximately 90 cm high.

With the posture of a discreet butler loyal, attentive… and never takes a day off.
One almost expects him to offer a tray or quietly announce your guests.

A decorative piece with character and a subtle sense of humour, equally suited for an interior or a curated collection.

Where engineering becomes sculpture in my own gallery

Early aviation was never just about speed. It was about distance, courage and the unknown. These machines carried pioneers across continents with little more than craftsmanship and conviction.

What continues to fascinate me is how pure engineering turns into form. Every line has a function, every surface a purpose, yet together they create something sculptural and timeless.

In my gallery different worlds meet. Aviation, railways and early transport, all driven by the same ambition to go further, to explore and to connect.

Not objects, but stories in metal.

If something here speaks to you, you are welcome to visit or reach out privately.
