The term "Maundy" derives, like "mandatory," from the Latin "mandatum" - meaning command.

Superb Deco Brooch - Like a Dufy Seascape in Sterling

Estate Jewelry: Silver: Deco Pre 1930: item #151766

Hand-crafted with great artistry, this very special silver brooch reminds me of Dufy's wonderful paintings of the French Riviera. They share the same gaiety and freedom of line. All that's missing is color, so this would be a moonlit view. This wonderful jewel definitely *is* European, stamped with the old 0900 sterling mark and fitted with quite an unusual early safety clasp. Probable dating is 1920s - while Scott Fitzgerald was in France, writing "Tender in the Night" - and I'll bet the pin wa... Click for details

Estate Jewelry: Silver: Arts and Crafts Pre 1920: item #151729

Unusual stones, mounted simply but artfully, are a hallmark of the most interesting Arts & Crafts jewelry and this blister pearl brooch from a New England estate is a splendid example.

Size is a restrained 1" wide, but this jewel makes a major statement due to the depth and remarkable color of the stone, as well as its graceful silver f... Click for details

Estate Jewelry: Silver: Deco Pre 1940: item #151725

This impressive vintage bracelet has a lot of presence, due to the size of its segments. Each of the 4 ornate floral plaques measures 1 1/4" square and holds a vivid emerald-cut stone that's prong-set and open at the back. The metalwork is very finely detailed, featuring both repousse and applied decoration. The jewel is unmarked, but probably made of rhodium, a metal in the platinum family which shares platinum's toughness and silvery white no-maintenance shine. Length is about 6 1/2", making i...
