BTW it’s a bit hard to see detail in your photo but what I can see is very pretty. I imagine it’s fantastic in all its glory.
Kiko thanks for that explanation! I did think it was likely off a robe but I wasn’t sure and had no idea what part. I wish someone had put that...
Very possible. Two generations of artists known.
Found this in the a box of sewing materials in an old home. Got it for nearly nothing. It’s so beautifully embroidered with such nice colors. I...
[ATTACH] I believe these are little sealing wax blocks meant to be melted to seal letter/documents. Not sure why the yellow one says danger?...
Wow even under a loupe I can barely make it out. Pretty sure it’s the French crab for .800 smalls though. Good eye!!!
Man those are sweet! That’s a good maker. You should do well on them if you bought them well.

story checks out then! So would mine be best termed as “continental 19th or early 20th c/Victorian”?
Bluumz was on the right track! I thought that price did look wacky. Sometimes I put stupid money prices on stuff I don’t want to sell but would...
Wow, impressed thanks! I just got some Portieux Opaline glass last week in a random lot. Now some Portieux crystal. Like learning a new word and...
Thanks! That color combo is basically spot on. Just different forms. Appreciated!
Lots of Chinese clasps have a gold wash/vermeil but are just marked silver I’ve noticed. How big are the sterling brooches? They look small, maybe...
