$210 USD SaleSALE French Antique Vanity Box for Jewelry, Ring or Watch Box w/ Beveled Mirror

A wonder small French jewelry box made of gold filigree and a beveled mirror. The French box is standing on four gold metal legs and sits evenly. The glass atop of the box is thick and beveled and is in great shape. The mirror is somewhat spotted as you can see in the pictures.

$850 USD SaleSALE Antique French Dresser / Jewelry Box Porcelain Plaques w/ Leather
Antiques:French Boxes:Porcelain
This is one of the nicest and most unique boxes I have found to date. This looks as though it should be in a Museum. It is a red leather box covered over with a ornate gold bronze filigree with all six sides showing porcelain pieces, hand-painted bouquets of flowers. The lining is superb, with a tucked, and buttoned, white, soft leather lining. This could have been added later as the gold trim around it doesn't look very old and I've never seen inside a French Casket that looked like this. ...

$125 USDCirca 1850's French Decorative Crystal Perfume Bottle w/ Repousse Top
Antiques:Perfume Bottles
I purchased this perfume bottle in Paris, the first time I went there. You would think you would find a lot of cool bottles there but actually you will find more here probably because most companies exported a majority of their perfumes w/ bottles to the US. This has a Repousse top with flowers, and it is hinged. The hinge is a tad loose and there is no glass inner stopper for it. However, the top snaps shut nicely. It is in beautiful condition. Circa 1850's. It seems to be sterling silver with ...

It closes securely and in staple condition for latching up the case. There is an ...

Antiques:Inkwells
We have here an Opalescent glass inkwell atop a enameled base of different colors of blues. It is beautiful. Not perfect. This has been professionally repaired as it broke on shipping.

This is quite a unique casket / jewelry box. It looks to be French but it is not marked. It has an enamel on the gold color bronze or brass that looks like Champleve enamel. The box is heavy and has beveled mirrors on all sides and the top. The initials engraved are "MS" which happen to be mine! But I was not the first owner of this fine box. It sets atop these heavy metal legs that look like Argyles. The box inside is in excellent condition with its pillow-tucked, plush interior of silk on the ...

FC stands for Francis Clark who opened up his Birmingham Shoppe in 1826. I cannot read the letter on this to tell you the exact date, but after 1846 he added a period in between the F and C. The outside is machine tooled and the edge is reposse. This is before 1846. This does have some age wear and some small ...
$165 USD SaleSALE French Enameled Vanity Jewelry Box / Watch Box

$175 USD19th Century Antique Silver Metal Skirt Lifter w/ Chain
Antiques:Accessories
The first time I ever saw one of these is in the Miami Antique Show. I had to ask what it was. Perhaps I had seen one before but never noticed or asked what it was. It is a tool made for women in the 1800's to hang off there belt or chatelaine to grab and lift their long skirts to walk through mud or water. The toothed gadget, grabs the skirt, like a pair a tongs grab a roll, and lift the fabric of the skirt up from the feet of the lady to protect the fabric of the skirt or dress. Pretty unique ...
