Cast iron standing horse doorstop by Hubley, #345. Circa 1930s. Unmarked. This horse retains almost all of its original dappled grey painted surface. The figure is well modelled with wonderful detailing of the anatomical features. Excellent condition, some minor wear along the top of the neck and on one side of the horse.

This exceptionally well executed 18Kt white gold and diamond filigree ring is centered by a high quality approximately 0.25Ct full cut diamond. The center stone is flanked by a smaller diamond on either side, which will bring the total weight of all diamonds to an approximate 0.30 Ct.
This strand of malachite Tibetan Prayer beads has been somewhat dulled with time and use, but the color patterns of the beads are still clear and beautiful. The coral counter beads are a bit lighter color than appears in the photo. I am dating them conservatively as pre 1950 but it is possible that they actually are from the later Qing dynasty. If open up, the total length of the mala would measure 39 inches.
