A pair of 18th century embroidered garters, similar in style to the Jerusalem garters worn by 17th century pilgrims. Linen tape embroidered with colored silk thread, with crocheted ends and knotted fringes. The shorter garter measures 18 inches and features the motto “memento vivere”, or “remember that you will live.” The longer garter, measuring 23 inches, reads “nul bien sans peine”, or “no success without trouble”, or in current parlance, “no pain without gain!” Excellent condition.

A pair of beautiful early wedding garters with great American provenance. The white silk garters are embroidered in bright chenille flowers, with the motto “la vertu” (virtue) on one, and “m’attache” (is attached to me, tied to me, etc.) on the other. The garters belonged to Elizabeth Martin and date from 1702, when Elizabeth married her neighbor, Richard Dallam. The Dallams were a prominent Calvert County, Maryland, family and they had even more prominent grandchildren: William Paca, the thi ...click for details

Charming Georgian schoolgirl silk needlework picture of a young girl and her spaniel. The girl is holding out her hand to the little dog, which stands on its hind legs. The detail is incredible: from the little dog, to the window with trees beyond, to the rug with vari-colored squares, to the girl’s dress and blue sash, it’s all beautifully done. Very good condition; there’s a slight sheen to the girl’s face where the weave may have begun to wear. Later frame and backing. Sight size is 5 1 ...click for details

SOLD 

This lovely early purse comes from the collection of Emma-Henriette Schiff von Suvero (1863-1924), a member of an important Jewish family in Vienna. After her death in 1924, the collection -- including textiles, furniture and porcelain – was left with her family until 1939, when it was seized by the Nazi government and given to the Staatliche Kunstgewerbemuseum in Vienna (now known as the Museum für Angewandte Kunst (MAK). The collection remained at the museum until 2003, when it were rightfu ...click for details

SOLD 

I rarely feature beaded deco purses, but this one completely enslaved me! The ultimate deco purse, worked in steel and glass beads, it is wonderful in every way. From the stylish pediment celluloid frame with bronze highlights to the fabulous abstract landscape executed in steel and blue glass beads, the purse is a design masterpiece. The lower section looks like a cubist scene; blue glass and steel beads lend it a boldness to balance the frame. Above is an almost lacy forest and sky motif, ...click for details

SOLD 

Gorgeous cut steel beaded figural purse featuring a shepherdess in a landscape, circa 1920. She bears some resemblance to the Butterfly Catchers, except that she appears to be carrying a basket of flowers on her crook, and there seems to be a lamb to her left! The beads have retained their delicate pastel coloring; there’s no rust to mar their sheen. The beading is in great shape, except for a few pieces of missing fringe and some seam separation where the handle one lay. Measures 6 ½” by 5”; ...click for details

SOLD 

Rare early 19th century Masonic purse or pouch, possibly German, depicting Masonic emblems and symbols in brightly colored beads. These purses were often made for the Mason by his wife, expressly to hold his jewels or aprons. The purse is filled with Masonic iconography: it’s easy to identify the hourglass, compass, pillar, square, and acacia sprig. Other symbols are harder to make out. The owner may have been a surveyor or navigator: there is a globe (or possibly an astrolabe), and two fig ...click for details

$125 

Wonderful handmade Berlin woolwork purse, from a small, but choice collection, English, circa 1850. Berlin woolwork eclipsed sampler-making and cross stitch from the 1830’s to the 1860’s, when thousands of hand painted patterns (mass-produced in Berlin), including many for purses, were available to English women . Berlin woolwork was worked on canvas in soft German wools, using mostly tent, half-cross, cross and pile stitching. The craze for Berlin woolwork lasted until the late 1860’s, when W ...click for details
