$55 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Late Victorian or Early Edwardian Era Brooch with Etruscan Design and Hidden Watch Chain Hook

Jewelry:Antique

This brooch, circa 1900, features an Etruscan design on the front. The reverse reveals a "hidden" hook for a watch chain. The hook is on a hinge and can swing back and forth. The clasp is in a tube shape but functions like a "C-Clasp"; the pin stem slips in and out. The pin is 2.25" long and almost .50" wide. Normal patina is present. Excellent condition - the brooch has a brassy gold tone finish while the pin stem is silver-tone. Please email us any further questions.

Collectibles:Tobacciana

This item will be removed from inventory at the end of November if not sold. Offers Welcomed - Motivated Sellers! The elephant figure on this unsigned piece shows what many designers call "good lines" - a sweeping curve from his crown to his button tail, smooth contours all around, and a deceptively simple aesthetic feel. He stands 4" tall, and his base is 8" long by 5 1/4" at its widest. This piece is constructed of heavy cast metal with a brown finish originally meant to simulate bronze. The ...

$55 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Sterling Silver Ink Blotter Roller

Collectibles

Dress up your vintage desk with this fine piece of sterling silver holloware. The ornate handle is marked "sterling" on each side, preceded by an unidentified symbol (see photos). The roller is wooden. Approximately 5 3/4" (14.5cm) in length, this piece is in great shape, with the only flaw being that the metal connecting the roller to the handle has oxidized with age (does not affect the great look of the item). There is some tarnish in the crevices of the handle. As many collectors prefer ...

$30 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Vintage Beaded Drawstring Purse with Tassel

Collectibles:Purse

Every so often I list a purse that is in need of TLC with the hope that someone can either fix it or enjoy it as is. I try to price them for condition and offers are always welcomed. This sweet drawstring purse caught my eye because of the simplicity and innocence of the beadwork. Almost surely handmade, the exterior of the bag is a black cloth while the gray interior of the header appears to have a shiny finish to it, and the liner of the lower part of the bag is brown. A very simple beaded ...

Collectibles

This item will be removed from inventory at the end of November if not sold. Offers Welcomed - Motivated Sellers! Measuring 7.75" in diameter, this beautifully rendered floral spray is also signed by the artisan. The signature is a tad difficult to make out; it appears to be "P Rossiy" or "P Rossi" with a line coming down from the "i". The colors are stunning, the scene elegant. There is one small spot on two of the white "dots" where a teeny portion of the white "dot" chipped off. Very minor ...

Standing approximately 2 1/2" (6 cm) tall, the casket measures about 3 1/2" (9 cm) by 2 1/4" (6 cm). The hinge is in fine working condition, although the lid seems to rest nearly yet not quite fit flush (very minor: the front leaves almost enough room to slip in the corner of a sheet of typing ...

$30 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Patchwork Quilt Stuffed Scottie Dog Pillow

Collectibles:Textiles

We love this vintage pillow! This cute Scottish terrier was pieced together from motley pieces of cloth in a multitude of colors. He looks very much like a patchwork quilt.

$75 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Vintage Sterling Silver Signed ANA Pin and Pendant Figural

Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling

This beautiful sterling silver pin also has an attachment for use as a pendant as well. The design on the front is reminiscent of looking at a sculpture - and indeed, the lighter silver design is a different piece of silver than the circular base. This is a piece that speaks of a talented silversmith and is the type of design that is open to your own interpretation...I, for one, think I see a creature on the left side with a fish in its mouth. I am still pondering on the rest. The marks on the ...

Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling

Offers Welcomed! Beautiful! This depiction of a flower and leaves is reminiscent of a breezy spring day; the flow of the design invokes movement to the piece which is quite nice.
