$725 USDAntique French Ebonized Wood Carving Pine Bough & Holly
Antiques:Art
This carving is on the unusual side. Rather than a square or rectangular panel, this piece is more crest like. It is comprised of a bough of holly on one side, pine on the other, with pine cones! A delightful piece, ready to hang, and very nice quality carving. I would say the styling is French Empire. The staining on the wood is quite black; although in the pictures it does not appear so. That is a function of the lighting. This is a beautiful sculpture! See pictures for dimensions.

$630 USDVictorian Papier Mache Blotter Mother of Pearl Inlay & Gilt Painting
Antiques:Accessories
Truly beautiful and very well preserved Victorian papier mache blotter. Blotters were used with 'dip' pens, to absorb the excess ink which liberally flowed from getting all over desks, and from blurring on the paper upon which the author was writing. This blotter is generously decorated with mother of pearl inlay integrated into a floral bouquet with enamel and gilt. The gilt painting at the top and bottom cover is very like that of both Adam's and Jennens and Bettredge. It has mother of pearl ...

It has silver fittings, top and bottom, very decoratively engraved and set with cabochon turquoise alternating with charming applied blossoms. The very top cabochon is of reddish hue, possibly a garnet. At least that would be consistent with the overall quality of this piece.

$1,195 USDRare Antique Jansenist Ivory Crucifix Original Gilt Gesso Frame
Antiques:Art
The Jansenist movement originated in the 1600's somewhat in response to Jesuit teaching of free will. The Dutch theologian and Roman Catholic bishop, Cornelius Jansen, emphasized predestination as opposed to the Jesuit teachings of free will. Also a less assuring doctrine, proposing that salvation was indeterminate and impossible without Divine Grace, along with declaring no resistance to Divine Grace could be undertaken by Man. The branch was deemed heretical by Rome, and outlawed in 1712. This ...

$395 USDAntique French Tortoise Shell Coin Purse c. 1860 Inlaid with Pewter and Abalone
Antiques:Accessories
Good antique French small coin purse. Inlay or pique is intricate and well executed; flowers and leaves are in both pewter and abalone, or mother of pearl. I think there is too much color for mother of pearl. Also, the stems appear to be made of gold. The original silk lining is in good condition, with some minor fraying at the very bottom of the purse. The purse is in good overall condition. There is a very small hairline at the hinge on one side. The pewter shield in not monogrammed, hence it ...

$695 USDFab 19th Century French Butcher Block Attached Knife
Antiques:Accessories
Now this piece I am going to have a very hard time selling. It is seeping with old world charm, rustic as can be, the ultimate French Country kitchen accessory. Clean as a whistle but very clearly used extensively at one time. The chopping block has a deep worn depression. The knife is rough hewn from what appears to be steel, due to oxidation. This monster is heavy, at least 10 pounds. Sturdy, solid: can't you just see it on your counter! Condition in one respect is irrelevant, as the obvious ...

Spectacular antique French Vernis Martin egg decorated with Chinoiserie! Hand painted and gilt with a large figural scene, featuring an elegantly dressed seated woman with a fan, and two architectural scenes adorned with foliage and birds. The egg is mounted on silver, guaranteed by the Boar's Head punch for small items. I frankly do not know if the egg was mounted later; the hallmarks date from the late 1800's. The silversmith is a rare female master: Maria Remy, of Paris, active from 1896. ...
$695 USDAntique French Bronze Box Enamel Portrait Cabochons Pearl Borders
Antiques:Accessories:Antique French Box
Fabulous antique French box decorated elaborately with pique, pearl borders, enamel cabochons and a fine enamel cartouche, a portrait medallion. The interior of the box is lined with wood; for cigarettes, tobacco? It's large, 5" long, so I think it is not a snuff box. The bronze dore body is machine decorated. Condition is good; the inside clasp is broken. There are some minor losses to enamel and pique. The box is not signed, other than marked "Made in France" on the bottom. The work is fine ...
$695 USDAntique French Hand Painted Gilt Porcelain & Dore Box Violin Shape

$875 USDAntique Heart Shaped Dore Bronze Frame Mascerons, Putto
Antiques:Accessories:Decorative Arts
The 22 carat gold gilt on this frame is so brilliant that it proved almost impossible to photograph. It has to be newly regilt. The rococco repousse decoration is in Renaissance style. Interlocking circular flourishes are accented with bound foliate fronds; on this ground appear six mascerons and eight putto, or cherubs. Four of the putto are mer-babies, as each has a swirling tail instead of legs. The four putto with legs carry out the famous torch and bow motif; two putto hold torches, two ...

$625 USDAntique French Dieppe Ivory & Silver Wax Seal, Sceau
Antiques:Accessories:Decorative Arts
Pristine condition characterizes this lovely Dieppe ivory wax seal. It is on the large side, nearly 4" tall. There is a very decorative silver cartouche attached to the front of the sceau, hand chased. The silver base is hallmarked with the crab silver guarantee; I am unable to make out the numeral between and beneath the claws, so the fineness is indeterminate. The ivory is truly splendid. Sadly, there was a bit of soil on the front that I did not detect until editing the photos, of course! The ...
