Delightful pair of English School portrait miniatures, depicting a lady and a gentleman, circa 1830. Both sitters wear black, he with a white stock, she with a white lace collar and what looks like a Wedgwood cameo! They are frame together in a red leather case. Condition is excellent. The case was probably originally just for her; it doesn’t close now with both portraits. A nearly illegible note on the back reads: “believe this to be Mi_ Bourne Rev C Griffiths wife Marcia Marie Bourne left b ...click for details

A charming pair of early 19th century English School miniatures on ivory, set into gold and gilt metal studs . The first depicts a young girl wearing a white dress and bonnet, her sweet face looking straight ahead. The other stud features a hairwork memorial scene of two doves on a tomb or plinth, surrounded by a garnet border. One can only guess whether the two are related! Condition is very good; slight fading of the girl’s face. The girl measures 9/16”; the doves are ½”.

A wonderful portrait miniature of a gentleman with pink powdered hair, by English master Henry Bone (1755-1834). This comical gent wears a blue coat, white waistcoat and white frilly cravat. The portrait is signed with Bone’s monogram and dated: “HB 1793.” A modern label on the reverse indicates the piece is in watercolor on card; I’m quite sure it’s ivory. Bone started his career painting china, eventually moving to London, where he enjoyed a successful career as a miniaturist, working in ena ...click for details
