click for details		Kensington House Antiques (301)942-0955 SOLD, PLEASE VISIT US AGAIN!
A magnificent early Victorian locket of carved elephant ivory. The carving is of such a level that the French city of Dieppe, renowned since the middle ages as a center of ivory carving, is the most likely origin. The workmanship is so perfect that when the cover is closed, the viewer cannot see that the piece is a locket. The hinge is completely concealed, and the only visible mechanical piece is a small gilt pin near the bottom that acts as a sort of latch to keep the cover closed. Many ca ...click for details

click for details		Kensington House Antiques (301)942-0955 $425
Victorians were fascinated by astronomical events such as the regular appearance of comets. Halley’s comet, in particular, created a world-wide sensation and inspired jewelry designs for many years. Comet jewelry, such as this brooch worked in 14K gold and turquoise, usually displays a rounded head attached to a tail. This piece is quite unusual, however, in that it interprets the traditional comet shape in the Etruscan Revival style. The micro-beaded and wirework decoration is of the finest ...click for details
