Featured New year auction wins

Happy New year my friends

A few local auction wins from Monday
Was supposed to pick them up today, but had too much whisky last night and didn't wake up till 3.00pm

Everything sold at £5 starting bid hammer price, but the Amber (if it is), took me to £11

There's so much cheap amber necklaces floating around at the moment, don't know if it's a good buy or not, looks big though

Just fun to show before receiving them

Got in a massive bidding war over a huge lapis necklace but relented

Any thoughts or ideas on the items appreciated

If the round beads are cherry amber, you scored! Even if bakelite, they are good. Like the dragon tray alot. Better than most we see.

 

I am not a joolie, but is sure is pretty.

 

I suspect the round ones are carnelian, Chinese on silk. Nice amber chips on that other one. The two silver necklaces look fairly modern, decent enough. That black and amber or whatever is interesting, as are the swirls.

 

The necklaces are nice, but I'm with Brad; that dragon tray is great.

 

I’ll take the dragon tray please!

 

yeah my favourite the dragon tray, quite small though i think its gonna be,sold as a pin tray

i think the red beads are glass, still nice though, described as carnelian, but nothing turns out as described, ever, so who knows

 

thanks obb, im interested to see about the black and yellow bead one. did a bit of research before bidding and there are examples of jet and amber bead together necklaces

doesnt look like amber from here, but maybe just needs a clean

 

the one that got away, sold at £32 but wish i had gone a little higher

 

really into japanese art at the mo
and they had about 5 or 6 lots of these
researching a full set is of 200
lots of 10 cards sold for average about £50

 

Happy New Year, Ches!

The dragon tray is amazing. Great score

 

thanks buddy, happy new year to you my friend

will be interesting to find out what metal it is, as the high relief points are worn silver coloured not brass or copper

 

I tihnk 32 was about all the money on that lapis. Not much left in it.

I wonder if that other one is copal.

 

yeah i'm in a similar thought about it. looking at others online at the moment, theres a huge amount of this type, even knotted. but not at this size

if when i get it and it looks to have no age in construction, i bet thats what it is

 

Love that dragon !

 

Any marks on the tray? It's lovely!

 

hi bakers

wont know untill tomorrow, if i can wake up at a decent hour that is

 

the lower points look like a gold wash

will get get some pics for you tomoz

 

its all in the face of the figure, thats screams authentic bosky

 

I liked those red, white and blue glass beads - Italian lampwork? I'd be busily restringing those and adding a clasp. The yellow and black glass looks like exactly that - 20s Czech if I don't miss my guess. The yellow may glow under blacklight though.

More like dyed "candy jade" or glass. But again, it's making my fingers twitch.
