$765 USD Offers ConsideredRare Georg Jensen 'Blossom' Pierced Spoon - 1910 - 1925 - Tea Caddy Spoon / Bon Bon Spoon
Silver:Vintage
Blossom is one of Georg Jensen's loveliest and most desirable patterns. It is also the most demanding for his silversmiths to create, the costliest, and I think, the only period Art Nouveau silver pattern still in production. The blossom was designed by Jensen himself in 1905, a pure expression of his Art Nouveau aesthetic, and used on his famous teapot as a finial, but it was not until fourteen years later that he designed a full line of cutlery in the Blossom pattern. Although you can still ...
$155 USD Offers ConsideredSilver Plate Crumber W/ Carved Ivory Handle - SP
Silver:Antique
A lovely antique crumber with a big, beautiful, chunky ivory handle displaying a nice grain. This is a fine piece with beautiful decoration, and must have been used at some very fine tables indeed. I believe it was made by the British firm of Elkington. Elkington invented the process of electroplating silver, and produced exceptionally fine objects for which they received many awards and Royal Endorsements and Warrants. They were known for the high artistic quality and fine design of their ...
$100 USD Offers ConsideredSix Cased Butter Knives or Spreaders - Silver Plate - SP - R. & B.
Silver:Antique
A lovely cased set of silver plated spreaders or butter knives adorned with poppies. Particularly charming with one side displaying the front of the blossoms, the other side the back... very Victorian in concept. Condition is nice, the plating is in great shape, and the knives show only expected wear from normal use, each measuring in at 5 1/2" long. The box retains it's original fittings and creamy lining, has a fine old clasp in good working order, and measures 7" x 4 3/8" x 1 3/4". The mark ...
$165 USD Offers ConsideredSP Basket w/ Flowers, Applied Leaves & Twisted Handle - Wilcox - Meridan, CT - Silver Plate
Silver:Antique
This is a complicated little basket. The body has a charming pattern of flowers that is engraved and etched, with each flower having a repousse center; it reminds me of the patterning on "chintz" china. The serpentine edge and foot each have an applied strip, and the swinging handle attaches with graceful twisted ends like a vine. There are also two applied leaves on the outside of the basket where the handle attaches. Condition is good with a few spots on the inside bottom where the plating has ...
$1,100 USD Offers ConsideredGorham Aesthetic Movement "Olive Spoon and Fork" - 1880's - Gilded Sterling Silver - Gilt - American Flatware
Silver:Antique
This fabulous piece of antique Gorham sterling is cast in the form of a naturalistic olive branch complete with an olive and leaves. It is so stunning my first reaction was a gasp. The elongated bowl of the spoon is part of the casting and is decorated with hand engraving to look like an olive leaf with hand cut piercing where the veins of the leaf would be. The applied, cast olive is elegantly smooth with a beautiful matte finish while the leaves are hand engraved. The cast spear, or fork, ...
$225 USD Offers ConsideredSterling Silver Mustard Pot w/ Cobalt Blue Glass Liner by Frank M. Whiting & Co. & Mustard Spoon by Watson Co.
Silver:Antique
A fine pairing of a mustard pot and spoon from two of Attleboro, Massachusetts' major silver manufacturers. The pierced body of the pot cradles a cobalt blue glass liner, and supports a solid silver shield meant to display a monogram or name, although fortunately, it has never been engraved. The finial and handle add to the classic design, and the cobalt glass peeking through is very pretty. The little mustard spoon or ladle has a lovely curve, and a simple, timeless design. Condition is great, ...
$225 USD Offers Considered12 Towle Sterling Demitasse Spoons - Flatware - American
Silver:Antique
A beautiful set of small, antique demitasse spoons. I believe the hallmark is a Towle mark. The pattern is very similar to Towle's 'Arlington', which was introduced in 1884. I believe these are of similar vintage. It is a beautiful set in a hard to find size. These little spoons are just 3 78" long... very dainty. The pattern is in deep relief, and although they are small in size, the handles are substantial, not flimsy at all. They have a nice weight in the hand. There is a monogram ("MEB") on ...
$1,295 USD Offers Considered19th C English Sterling & Opaline Glass Frame - British - Picture Frames
Silver:Antique
Antique hallmarked British sterling... THE BEST! This wonderful sterling frame has so many outstanding features it's hard to know what to tell you first... swooping silver curlicues, thin contoured glass shaped like a mushroom cap, and the loveliest robin's egg blue ring of mouth blown opaline glass encircling this stunning piece. Total quality... yummy! The hallmarks tell us that this beauty was originally created in Chester, England in 1899. I believe the maker's mark, "H W K", is that of ...
$295 USD Offers Considered19th C Victorian Sterling Baby or Doll Rattle w/ Whistle, Mother of Pearl Teether / Handle & Bells - MOP
Silver:Antique
A marvelous antique baby rattle with two sterling bells, each with a rattling 'bit' inside, a whistle on one end, and a mother of pearl teether on the other. There is a small ring on one side through which to pass a ribbon and pin this little pretty to a baby or doll's clothes so it won't get lost. The sterling body is decorated with the words "Hey Diddle Diddle" on both sides, and the attendant 'cat with fiddle', 'cow jumping over the moon', and 'little dog laughing' are all depicted. Found ...
$95 USD Offers ConsideredAntique Sterling Wishbone Sugar Tongs - Two Pair - Flatware - Sold Individually
Silver:Antique
Two wonderful pair of 'lucky' wishbone sugar tongs. This quirky design is sure to bring a bit of a giggle to your tea or coffee service. Condition is great, the hidden spring mechanisms are still tight and operational. Both pairs are marked "Sterling 49", and they both have a makers mark that I cannot quite see, but maybe you can. One pair's former owner marked them with some personal identification numbers, "x31014." One pair is monogrammed with an "O" and the date "1907," the other with the ...
$895 USD Offers ConsideredPair of Antique American Sterling & Crystal Swan Salts or Condiments - Theodore B. Starr - William B. Durgin
Silver:Antique
A delightful pair of swans fashioned out of sterling silver and crystal. These beauties are meticulously detailed, with an almost seamless transition between the two materials. Exquisite craftsmanship. Condition is great, with no chips, cracks, dings, dents, or other imperfections that I can see. A bit of tarnish, you can give them a higher polish if you wish. Each swan measures 3 3/4" long, 2 1/4" wide, and 2 3/4" tall. The mark is from Theodore B. Starr, who was a jeweler and retailer of fine ...
$310 USD Offers ConsideredPair of Gorham Sterling Candlesticks w/ Adapters & Decorated Hurricanes - Candle Sticks - FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING
Silver:Vintage
These lovely Gorham sticks have matching Gorham reticulated adapters and slim glass hurricane shades decorated with a wreath like, wheel-cut design. As we all know, the Gorham name is synonymous with quality. These classic sticks display a series of rings around the base, and one simple line circumscribes the edge of the top. The reticulated cut outs on the threaded adapter echo the wheel-cut design on the shade, and this makes me think that they were designed to work together. Condition is ...
$215 USD Offers ConsideredPair of Rogers Sterling Candlesticks w/ Adapters & Decorated Hurricanes - Candle Sticks - FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING
Silver:Vintage
A classic pair of Rogers sterling weighted candlesticks with matching reticulated adapters and hurricanes decorated with a beautiful wheel-cut design of grapes. These lovely sticks have a ring of tiny molded flowers around their bases and the tops of the candle cups. Very pretty. The screw-in adapters are marked with a patent number, and the mouth blown shades appear to be original. Condition is fabulous. There are no chips or cracks in the glass and no dents or other problems with the silver ...
SOLDSOLD American Sterling Silver Frame - Webster Company - North Attleboro, Massachusetts
Silver:Vintage
A refined little sterling frame, circumscribed by a classic beaded border and crowned with an Art Deco style finial. Simple and elegant as can be. Condition is great, with no dings or dents that I see. It retains the original blue velvet backing and easel stand that stay in by friction, or it can hang from the triangular finial, your choice. There's some tarnish inside where it doesn't show, but outside it's polished to a warm glow with a nice dark patina in the crevices of the design. Signed by ...
SOLDSOLD Victorian Sliver Plated Ladle with Mother of Pearl Bowl
Silver:Antique:M O P:Silver Plate:Shell
A lovely decorative piece of tableware right out of Victorian times. This small ladle was fashioned from a shell by using its natural shape as the bowl. The MOP displays beautiful rainbow like colors, and the handle is attached to the shell by means of three tiny rivets through two decoratively shaped plates, one on each side of the shell. I like to think of this little ladle serving a dill sauce for poached salmon... yum! There is some expected wear to the plating and the bowl has a bit of a ...| Items 1 - 15 of 15 | Page 1 of 1 |
