I agree that after testing you should give it a whirl on the Bay. If you were going to "trash" it or be disinterested in it, then it's a good...
That looks all Arts and Crafts to me. I wonder if the mark was an address?? for the studio since those pieces tended to be produced small-scale.
I'm no help but I wanted to say it's a lovely brooch. :happy:
OMG I don't even wear much costume anymore but I'd wear that! I adore Egyptian collar pieces and that is extremely fun. Someone is really going to...
I had wanted to have a gentleman portrait cameo. I really enjoy seeing them (and love Bronwen's board full). I came across this one, poorly...
I saw that one and laughed. Such a bizarre stone placement. It's....unique at least?
Now I'm curious what Lady Victorian renactors are getting up to "in the field" to be so rough! ;) I just assumed they'd want their fancy duds to...

Oh dear once you start keeping nice, but empty, frames they have a way of multiplying...Ask me how I know. :hilarious: I've had more than one...
Those metallic metals were super popular in the 80s-ish so very possibly contemporary. I don't know that it means much to a piece like this to...
These are really great. They have nice composition. I'm glad you're getting new acid free mats and some uv-resistant glass put on them. I'd...
It is amazing how you think you've looked a piece over thoroughly, especially with how small they are, and still manage to find new things later....
Buying from auctions/auction houses that aren't run by the Bay or similar are a thing I've never done and might be dangerous to learn how to do....
Bloodstone is on my list for someday. As is an antique box! Did Raphael come with his? Really exquisite little carving and beautiful frame. You...
@PepperAnna the bulldog might be "incomplete" but I think he's my favorite. Such character in a great stone with a fantastic frame! Bloodstone is...
[ATTACH] My least spectacular cameo as she's just a Pretty Lady type, but I thought she was better carved than the others I've seen. She was...
