The END..........HAD TO GET OFF.....BLOODSUCKERS OF TIME THEY ARE!!!!!!!!!!! HOWEVER, just a couple of points of interest.....and I AIN'T buyin' NUTTIN!!!! First, for anyone interested: https://fineart.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?No=288&N=3166+793+794+792+2088+4294938462 Second, just posting a couple of items that REALLY caught my eye....s!!!!! I'm only posting the FIRST set of miniatures.....there were I think 9 (NINE!) more MINI Silver lots after this one!!! And THEN, a gorgeous Micro-mosaic platter!!
Stunning gorgeous stuff,can't look at it to long...my tummy starts rumbling and my brain swims-the classic symptoms of acute 'Billionaire Envy'.
And a "B"illionaire I'm not.....not even anywhere NEAR the "M" category EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT, LORDY I LOVE TO LOOK!!!!
It's like going to a Gallery or Museum-lord the stuff is beautiful.I must admit I do a lot of window shopping at Heritage,Sotheby's & Christies,and go 'slumming' (for things I can't afford either) at First Dibs. PS-Slight non-sequitur,two of my favorite fictional books about art & antiquity- 'The Goldfinch' by Donna Tartt & 'The People of the Book' by Geraldine Brooks (neither's a textbook-take the history in them w/ a grain of salt).
