SALE Beautiful Victorian Silver/Gold Pin Brooch Basket

$55 USD SaleSALE Beautiful Victorian Silver/Gold Pin Brooch Basket

Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
A very unusual piece is this brooch with basket design. It measures about two inches long. It is made of sterling silver with applied genuine gold at each end and at the basket handle and its rim. The engraving is nicely done. It is fully marked with Birmingham anchor and dates to, I believe, 1890 with silversmith mark. A nice piece of jewelry for wearing.
SALE 19th Century Mourning Portrait Woman Weeping Dead Bird

$350 USD SaleSALE 19th Century Mourning Portrait Woman Weeping Dead Bird

Antiques:Primitives:Antiques:Portrait Painting
This is a nice little gem. Although the design is that of 18th century, I believe this is from the second-quarter of 19th century, watecolor on ivory substitute of the day. The subject matter is that of a weeping woman. I am not quite sure whether she weeps because of her dead bird or whether the bird represents her dead child. Whatever the reason, the sadness overwhelmes her. The portrait is beautiful to look at and to study; however, her sadness comes through the glass and reminds us that we ...

We have a nice one here that measures 7 inches long by 2.25 inches wide. The lid and the bottom are engraved with floral motif. The side ends have geometric designs. The back strap below the hinge and the side strap on the front have incriptions in two lines. There is an engraved owner's name on the underside of the cover. Over two-hundred years of polishing, the engravings suffer from wear. The hinge is in good original order. There is a small tubelike brass attachment soldered on the underside ...
SALE 19th Century Watercolor Silhouettes Politician and Advertising

$325 USD SaleSALE 19th Century Watercolor Silhouettes Politician and Advertising

Antiques:Primitives:Antiques:Silhouettes
This is an important find that has everything going for itself. First, it has advertisement of "Mallow Condensed Milk Company" and "Patent Washing Soda Company Limited Agency." If you collect Irish advertisement from the 19th century, this is great stuff. Second, these two fellows are Irish politician from Cork. The man on the left is John George McCarthy. The folowing is from Irish News, New Zealand Tablet, 1892, page 9. "With the deepest regret we announce the death of John George McCarthy, ...
