<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 11148646, member: 79705&quot;]I have been hording a major backlog for months (a year? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) because I acquire more often than I can be arsed to resize and properly post, so I&#039;m going to try and remedy that. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are four late 19th/early 20th c. that aren&#039;t top carvings imo but are pretty enough to go in the &quot;I can wear these without excessive worry&quot; part of my collection, and/or were a cheap thrill. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This Bacchante came in a lot with my Saulini and is set in 14K. She looks Art Nouveau to me. The carver added a background but got lazy with the grapes. I found her oddly charming, even with that sturdy neck. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]537523[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Another that I think has Art Nouveau look. She was inexpensive and I&#039;ve not seen any others with such an interesting free styling of shapes. Juno perhaps?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]537524[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>A coy Art Deco era Erato in silver with marcasites. She&#039;s got the simplistic carving style of the period, but I thought her well balanced and the leaves fairly nice. She&#039;s also a large 2&quot; piece when the others with similar framing are around 1&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]537525[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>An Art Deco period Psyche who also came in the Saulini lot. Framed in 14K and large at around 2&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]537526[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
