KELT looks like a Celt motif line from Bijoux Bretons. I can't find the exact ring in their current line up, but I did find other pieces with that...
Ah yes, I too do the "This is the PERFECT place for safekeeping!" and "Damn, where did I think that was...." dance as well. :hilarious: MIL once...
You didn't give us an image of the Tiffany stamp so we can't really say on that part. As far as I know Tiffany's does not do authentication, but...
The (different) Ceres I have is a glass portrait glued to what I THINK is a ceramic disk. It's shiny like onyx on the facing side, but a grainy...
She looks very like hardstone in this image! However, I've been watching a piece on the Bay that is this same woman....which probably means this...
I agree that $35 is not too much to ask. They're quite beautiful antiques and meant for fine wear anyway. Add in the engine turned keywords and as...
I have made a spreadsheet of known carvings and then profile photos or etchings of the claimed sitters (Yes, I currently have no life) and it...

Aah okay, so what I'm seeing is he just didn't paint to the edge. Sometimes you can pin point a date range from the art supplier's active dates...
Looks like a painting to me as well. It's that salon style that wanted more polished looks with a solid varnish layer. I'd love to see the back...
Yay!!! I'm glad my suggestion worked and they didn't hassle you about the label. Hopefully pirateship will be an avenue for any other antiquers...
Does this mean you managed to get her home?!? :woot: She looks really lovely sitting there. The light makes her glow. Very pretty carving in the...
Well that's surprising and good! I think I'd remat them and consider them "sepia toned."
I'm sorry, they're raising fees but can't be arsed to buy an XRF for the facility??? :grumpy:
You're right Brad, that is some extreme acid damage. Might be the worst I've seen as well. I wish I knew paper conservator's magic methods for you!
Looks like a hobbyist piece. Signature style looks correct for 1926. You can get artist fixative spray at the art store to make sure it doesn't...
