$3,950 USDEnglish Cameo Scent Bottle Circa 1900
Antiques:Scent, Perfume Or Cologne Bottles
We attribute this stunning bottle to Webb as they loved to do this color combination. It is comprised of 3 colors-clear, cranberry & white. They acid cut back the white & cranberry to the clear base leaving a softly textured, frosty background. The cameo floral pattern is a multitude of different shades ranging from white to various pinks to medium cranberry depending on the depth of cut of the pattern. The floral pattern has then been carved with wonderful definition lines giving the flowers & ...
$1,495 USDEuropean Hand Carved Figural Ivory Page Turner/Cutter
Antiques:Misc. Items
This delightful 19th. century ivory lady was a page turner/page cutter. For those of you not familiar with her purpose here is a short explanation. They would use page turners to keep antique manuscripts/books free from hand oil & soil while reading. Today our books have individual pages. In previous centuries the pages were continuous runs of paper that required a page cutter to slice the outer vertical side of the pages. Our lady is of lovely quality & condition. She has stunning detail in her ...
$5,650 USDFabulous French Parcel Gilt/Silver Scent Bottle Circa 1850
Antiques:Scent, Perfume Or Cologne Bottles
This French scent bottle has an amazing amount of cast silver work. The lid has Pan feeding grapes to a nude figure on top of six flared/curved panels accented with hand engraving & narrow (less then 1/32") channels of navy blue enamel. The collar of the bottle has an ornate design. Attached to the collar & adhered to the bottle shoulders are two mythological figures ( 1 1/8" & 1 1/4" tall). One is holding a bird, the other is blowing a conch shell. The bottle's center, in the front & back, has ...
$7,995 USDBlackamoor Hard Stone, 18Kt & Precious Jeweled Pin
Jewelry:Antique:Fine Carved, Cameo
We felt so blessed to find this amazing piece of jewelry. I call her our Nubian Princess as she is so stunning. If you are a lover of quality, unique antique jewelry she is a must for you! She has a beautifully carved onyx or jet head w/ hand engraved detail in the 18kt gold base. A few of my photos have been lightly over exposed to show the carving on her face & the engraving. She has emeralds, rubies & sapphires inserted into gold & diamonds inserted into silver on her dress bodice. Her head ...
$1,895 USDBeautiful European Art Glass Vase With Art Nouveau Silver Overlay
Glass:Antique:Silver Overlay
This vase is just gorgeous with its shaded glass & extremely well designed floral motif. The glass has been hand blown with clear blending to a wonderful deep amethyst. The blending/shading is just superb! It's exterior was given a chemical bath to give the vase a very, very fine grained, silky textured surface (right side of photo # 8). This bath also gives the exterior glass a light change in appearance. It gives the amethyst a faint dusty tone, the clear a frosted/icy effect & the entire vase ...
$8,500 USDGalle High Polished Cameo Glass Poppy Vase - Circa 1900
Glass:Antique:Cameo Glass
This Galle vase is absolutely stunning. You can find in our listings that I am very partial to Daum. But when Galle does shades of reds in their glass I feel they are really competing! The vase has great coloration & pattern definition. It appears to be blown in 6 layers with colors of 2 shades of a burgundy that has a hint of a brown cast, 2 shades of coral, clear & yellow. My photos show the burgundy browner then it actually is. The work master acid cut back the colors to several different ...

This circa 1925 jar has a beautiful deep peacock blue enamel with white trim over an engine turned pattern. The enamel has no chips/cracks/repairs. Any specks (photo1) & glassy/cloudy cast (photo 2) are REFLECTION! I can see some surface only bites & scratches to enamel. The silver lid is marked with a #1 Minerva for 950/1000 silver. The silver has no dents/rips/repairs. The lid is a slide on/off. Fits firmly in almost all positions with a lot of drag. The jar has a lovely wheel cut ribbon & ...

This circa 1925 jar has a beautiful deep peacock blue enamel with white trim over an engine turned pattern. The enamel has no chips/cracks/repairs. Any specks (photo1) & glassy/cloudy cast (photo2) on enamel is REFLECTION! I can see some surface only bites & scratches to enamel. The silver lid is marked with a #1 Minerva for 950/1000 silver.

Collectibles:Scent, Perfume Or Cologne Bottles
This circa 1925 bottle has a beautiful deep peacock blue enamel with white trim over an engine turned pattern. The enamel has no cracks/repairs. I did find with a 10 power loop some surface only flake shaped chips to the top white 1/32" wide rim & a few minuscule surface only bites & scratches to balance of enamel. The silver collar on bottle & interior of lid is marked with the #1 Minerva for 950/1000 silver. The bottle's collar & lid's screw on threads are intact & screw easily. The rectangle ...
$595 USDSterling Cuff Links with a Black Boy - Alligator Motif
Jewelry:Antique:Fine Victorian
These circa 1900 cuff links where probably a souvenir from Florida or Georgia. They will be an outstanding addition for either a cuff link or Black memorabilia collector. They are in excellent, un-repaired condition with no dents, holes or cracks. These were very well made. The boy's face/head has wonderful detailed design in excellent well defined condition. The alligator's even have eyes & lines in their feet for claws. Both backsides of the heads have the marks of: "G. & C. CO." (either the ...
$295 USD835 Silver & Amber Art Deco Bracelet - Circa 1930
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This Deco bracelet has 6 wonderful butterscotch colored, gracefully rounded, polished rectangles of amber with the top & bottom rims having a somewhat curved arch shaped facet (photo # 3). The amber rectangles are firmly seated in their silver frames. They all appear to be original to bracelet as I see no disruption to the frames. They measure approx. 13/16" wide x 1 1/8" tall. The amber is all intact with no cracks, chips, nicks, deep scratches or repairs. You can of course find the occasional ...
$695 USDPastoral Scene Guilloche Enamel & Glass Dresser Jar
Collectibles:Vanity Items:Enamel
This lovely jar is unmarked but probable Austrian circa 1930. The top is a lovely very pastel yellow over an engine turned (a form of machined pattern) white metal lid. The enamel lid has a hand painted 1 1/8" dia. scene that has been accented with applied gold foil under the clear topcoat. (An addition to the enamel done only to the best pieces.) The enamel has no chips, cracks or repairs. With a 10 power loop you can find the normal, occasional, surface only, minuscule nick/scratch. The rim of ...
$2,250 USDFire Glow Art Glass Vase With Sterling Overlay
Glass:Antique:Silver Overlay
We believe this wonderful cased red glass vase to be Loetz Fire Glow. The glass has no signature but the majority of Loetz is unsigned. On my computer the photos make the color a deep medium crimson. But I would call the color a medium toned scarlet with the exterior having a glossy look due to the clear glass casing. The glass is in super condition with no chips, cracks, deep scratches or repairs. If you look in the interior of vase you can see & feel a few bubbles that have burst. But NONE on ...
$295 USDWebster Sterling Owl Mini Dresser Jar
Antiques:Vanity Items:Victorian
This great piece was a rouge pot or vaseline jar. The silver definition in that dimensional poofy owl face is still excellent. The beaded accent design around top's rim is still rounded. Top fits very firmly. When I hold lid to light there are no holes. The rounded lid rim has some normal uneven surface to it-see picture w/black arrow for an example. The jar is round w/10 cut panels/sides. Interior rim has an area of normal slight roughness & a less then 1/32" nick. The exterior has a few nicks ...
$1,295 USDPaul Poiret's Rosine "Nuit de Chine" with Original Box
Collectibles:Scent, Perfume Or Cologne Bottles
This Murano glass bottle with bakelite handles was designed for the 1913 introduction of "Nuit de Chine", one of Poiret's earliest perfumes. The bottle has no nicks, chips, cracks or repairs. I would rate the clear/cleanness of the glass as excellent minus as it has faint, light interior speckling - almost like a dusty look (photo # 7) . The bottle's neck & top neck rim are enameled in gold. The top of the neck has a small thin line of wear & the neck rim has definite wear (photo # 7). The ...
$450 USDDelightful English 9Kt Gold & Cultured Pearl Photo Pin
Jewelry:Antique:Fine Victorian
This great pin's center pops out to insert a picture of that special person in your life. The window fits very firmly! The photo is then accented by half pearls. When viewing with a loop all pearls appear to be original except for one. They used an old pearl of great color match. The only reason I found it was the prong mounting. The pin & C clasp look to be original. We find no repairs. The backside is marked 9ct. gold as well as a makers mark. The makers mark was not as deep as the ct mark so ...
$365 USDGorham Sterling Tea Ball - Model B149
Silver:Tea Balls & Strainers
This sterling tea ball has the most wonderful body. It is comprised of lightly rounded, swirled ribs (for want of a better word) that have been pierced with the holes in the same flowing curve. Even the bottom of the tea ball has the continuation of the swirl pattern ending in a final solid focal point. The ball has then been decorated with a lovely lid comprised of a circular floral motif. Check your collection for this tea ball carefully as Gorham used this bottom with several different ...
$2,995 USDStunning French Jeweled Sulphide Scent Bottle With Orig. Silver Cap
Antiques:Scent, Perfume Or Cologne Bottles
Wow, this one is tough. Rich researched every book on European scent bottles he owns and could not find one word or picture about this type of bottle. His book on Portrait Sulphides mentions colored sulphides but shows no pictures of them. So, here goes - This rare colored sulphide was made by inserting a gold foiled, jeweled (the term for the raised enamel dots) and hand painted enamel on metal plaque between two layers of glass while the bottle was being blown, just as Portrait Sulphides were ...
$2,895 USDLovely Pastel 12 1/2" Tall Galle Cameo Glass Vase Circa 1905
Glass:Antique:Cameo Glass
The colors on this vase are just wonderful. It was blown with five colors-clear, white, sage green, lavender (maybe 2 separate shades) & peach. The unusually large amount of peach gives the floral design a warmer, more lush look than is normal in this design. The entire vase is acid cut back cameo, which gives it a very, very fine grained some what silky texture as well as giving the clear area that ice look that Galle seemed to favor. The shading/blending from dark peach at the base into ice in ...
$450 USDAllan Adler Sterling Hand Hammered Serving Spoon
Silver:Vintage:American
Adler was a Los Angeles CA. silversmith who learned his trade from his father-in-law (Porter Blanchard). He opened his own business in 1939 & later expanded into doing items for famous department stores such as Marshall Field & Neiman-Marcus. He is most well known for his hand hammered items. We are pleased to be able to offer this wonderful, large, solid sterling spoon. It measures 9 1/8" long with a bowl that is 3 3/8" long x 2 5/8" at widest point. The spoon weighs 4.8 ozs = 4.37 troy ozs. ...
$3,250 USDAustrian Guilloche Enamel on 935 Silver & Cut Glass Jar
Collectibles:Boxes, Cases & Caskets
This gigantic circa 1930 jar has a beautiful 4 1/8" dia. hand painted enamel scene accented by an engine turned (form of machined patterning) guilloche enamel 2 color border. Please excuse the white glassy look on the enamel photos-it is reflection. The scene was done by a very nice artist. Note the subtle shading of dusk above the mountains, the ruffle of her skirt, the graceful hand & foot & even a touch of blush to her cheeks. The border is comprised of an interior narrow white & an exterior, ...
$495 USDWhiting & Davis Baby Mesh Peacock Bag Purse
Collectibles:Purses Or Bags
This circa 1925 bag is a highly desirable bag for a mesh purse collector. The pattern is identical on both sides as well as the depth of color. The bag has never been hung in sunlight to fade or bake the paint. Paint is in excellent condition. With inspection by my eyes I find no rips or missing mesh. With inspection with my loop the wiring of mesh to frame is all intact with the exception of wire to two holes (holes 2 & 3 from an underarm hinge). Someone has used a small jump ring & re-secured ...
$245 USDFrench Nude Enamel, Silver & Wheel Cut Glass Travel Bottle
Collectibles:Scent, Perfume Or Cologne Bottles
Beautiful sapphire blue w/white rims on this perfume-lotion travel bottle. The top has a scene w/ 2 nude ladies stamped into silver w/ translucent enamel over it. The sides of the lid have the engine turned pattern under enamel. There is no restoration to enamel. There is 1 minuscule, way way to small to measure, nick to top that looks like a speck of dust (see that white like spot at below their feet). Remember this is in a 7/8" circle!!! When viewed w/a 10 power loop you see it is a nick. The ...
$1,995 USDAustrian Guilloche Scenic Enamel on 935 Silver & Cut Glass Jar
Collectibles:Boxes, Cases & Caskets
This is the most stunning enamel scenic jar. I can't decide what I love more. The exquisite shading of the enamel or the superb hand cut glass jar. Please excuse the glassy look on enamel photo #1-it is reflection. The inserts of enamel scene on photo #5 were taken to high light two different aspects of the enamel. The left side insert was taken at an angle to show you the beautiful shading of colors & top quality artistry without the translucent enamel shimmer & the underneath engine turned ...
$2,250 USDRetro 14kt. Rose & White Gold, Diamond & Ruby Ring
Jewelry:Vintage:Fine Gold & Gem
The Retro period was approx. 1938-1952. This great ring is a lovely example of that period at some of it's best. The ring mounting & shank are a beautiful, rich rose gold. The mounting area has great design flow & depth with swirls, curls, open work areas & definition lines in the leaves that hold the eleven smaller diamonds. The smith used white gold to mount the two largest diamonds as well as the extending stems & prongs for the other four medium sized diamonds. The gold is in excellent ...
$2,250 USDPair of German Pierced 800 Silver Vases
Silver:Antique:European
It is so great to find this circa 1900 pair still together after all these years. They have such a super shape with the flair at the top to allow your flowers to fan out. The lovely stamped pattern is comprised of swirling curly leaves, pheasants & beautiful dimensional blown out flowers with piercing (open work) thru out. Be sure to look at my photos #'s 5-8 of the close up of patterns in the enlarge mode. I stuffed the vases with material to help show you the wonderful pierced work. They also ...
$3,495 USDLovely Galle Cameo Glass Floral Vase Circa 1900
Glass:Antique:Cameo Glass
I love everything about this vase from it's shape to it's colors to it's floral motif. I think it is the prettiest piece of Galle we have had in the 12 years I have worked for Rich & Galle is not my favorite cameo company. Those gray glassy looking spots in photos # 7 & 9 are reflections. When I look at the exterior I think it is comprised of two base colors-plum & amber. But when I look down into the interior I see four-plum, cherry, amber then a touch of icy white next to some flowers & buds. ...
$995 USDTall Tiffany & Co. Sterling Vase
Silver:Antique:American
This lovely vase is approx. 14 3/16" tall with a 4 5/16" dia base & a 2 11/16" dia. top rim. Above the knob it is a vase, from the knob down it is weighted. It has a 3/4" tall hand engraved border that encircles the vase just under the top rim. Just under that border is a hand engraved floral pattern that is 6 1/8" tall x approx. 2 1/4" at widest point. The floral pattern is on both the front & back of the vase. The presentation area on the front has a swirly, artistic set of initials of LH. The ...
$1,895 USD14kt. Gold, Cultured Pearl & Onyx Cameo Pin/Pendant Circa 1900
Jewelry:Antique:Fine Carved, Cameo
The workmanship on this cameo is just superb! All the fine detailing on the design is amazing. Look at her delicate facial features, hair, jewelry, lace around her neck, headpiece & veil. There is even faint lines carved into her dress representing pattern in the material. The black background portion of the onyx has a super high polish. This cameo was done by a master craftsman & took some time! The onyx is in excellent condition with no cracks, deep scratches, nicks or repairs. I found with ...
