Featured Your “Grail”?

I would like the Waterhouse Lady of Shalott at the Tate, please. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lady_of_Shalott_(painting)

 

Guess what... A Lalique cicada! Or even a Lalique sketch with insects

 

These (or any) Hagenauer horses. Or any Hagenauer really!

I'm lucky enough to own this one but mine is sadly quite damaged and awaiting repair when I can find someone able to do it.


Oh, and a bigger house please.
World peace,
Brexit done,
and a properly waterproof really warm coat!

 

Right now I would settle for my car working as my holy grail.

Love to see what others wish for.

 

I would love a Large ( 5 0r 6 carats would do nicely ) Flawless Natural Alexandrite Gem with Intense color change from Green to Red.

I do have some small natural Alexandrites with fair color change, even Have a natural Alexandrite cat's eye, but nothing bigger then .75 carat,

 

I'd say your holy grail is a brand new cargo van for all those estate sales.

 

I wouldn't mine of those either, preferably set in 18k Imperial Russian gold.

 

Hard to choose one thing but maybe this.....

 

NOW, yer Cookin'!!!!!!!

 

If the Sphinx fell for Oedipus after he answered her riddle?

 

For me, also at the Tate, it's the Millais Ophelia:

 

Or some actual bidders on eBay!

 

WAAAAAY too many wonderful things out there to want, to just pick ONE....I just can't!!!!

 

I'd go for a Meeks Henry Ford pattern parlor set. Top of the tree when it comes to materials and craftsmanship. I had a photo but of course it was "too large" and I don't feel like fighting it at the moment. Anyway, E-Boo has the very set I wanted forever and ever; not sure if it's still listed or not. A moot point, since I don't have the scratch.

 

Twenty or thirty years ago, I might have been able to give a better answer. So many beautiful and interesting things out there. Now, I'd be happy with the financial security, and the sense of having choices.

That said: a small handful of nice snuff boxes would be... um... nice.

 

I believe I'd go with a Sabino trifecta: elephants, gazelles & panthers

 

What I really want is a cure for MS, and other auto-immunes, but you can't put that on a shelf or in the driveway.

They said holy grail, not impossible dream.

 

When one has good health, one has everything!

May your wish come true!

 

I would like one of these please...
