A top-featured lot is this 20in-long Portuguese caravel, an exploration ship from the 16th century, made by hand from sterling silver. Boasting very rich and detailed silver filigree work, only two of these pieces were made, the other being in the collection of the Gold Museum in Gondomar, Portugal. This is the only example available for sale, and it is estimated at $18,000-$22,000.

Measuring 33in in width, this Balinese gray water buffalo skull was created by Indonesian craftsmen, carving a marine theme directly into the bone. It carries a markedly modest $350-$400 estimate.

Barovier and Toso of Venice, Italy created this pair of giant wall lamps in fluted mouth-blown art glass and brass. Dating to the 1960s, the pair is estimated at $1,500-$2,000.
