$2,995 USD12 Exquisite Encrusted Gold French Chargers Dinner Plates: MINT!
Porcelain
Rare elegant vintage French plates with a huge gold border, acid-etched with rich and elaborate decorative bands, and surrounding a simple gold trimmed band of cobalt blue. The center is white, and will protect these plates from all those irksome knife and fork marks. These large dinner sized plates are in perfect condition. They cannot possibly have been used; so they are as new for you whilst likely dating from 1930's or 1940's. We did not test the gold, but it is so brilliant we believe it is ...
$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.

$495 USDAssembled Antique French Sterling & Crystal Lidded Bowl Underplate

$1,195 USDAntique French Sterling & Crystal Oil & Vinegar Cruet Set
