This is a stunning brooch of three large turquoise stones and eight pearls set in a conforming vermeil setting of very fine work. The stones have the lovely matrix and the pearls set them off beautifully without overpowering the turquoise. The effect is heart stopping without being gaudy. The pin is large, measuring a full three inches. The back is filigree. This is a modern Chinese piece made in the old style.
This is a stunning bracelet of sterling silver and sparkling marcasites. The bracelet is flexible...to a degree, not floppy. It is made of alternating bands of sterling and marcasites that are irregularly spaced and in a slight wave form. The clasp has a button to open and close it. It is new so it is in perfect condition. The diameter of the interior is approximately 2.5". It is marked 925.
Offered here is a wonderful leather (or faux leather) settee that is new, made to look aged. The legs have beautiful carved knees on cabriole legs with a pad foot. The leather is toned with faded embossing around the edges of the seat and the back, and there is nailhead trim all around the seat and the back. The back has a hand painted crest that is quite impressive looking. The arms are slightly down swept and curved. This is a very handsome piece for an office or a library. It measures ...click for details
Offered here are a pair of delicate 14K yellow gold earrings with small freshwater pearls. They are for pierced ears and measure not quite 1" in length. They are new and never worn.
Offered here is an interesting pair of brass candlesticks that have been patinated. The color, I should say colors, are deep and mysterious and very beautiful. They range from charcoal to light charcoal, blue, green, iron red and ochre and give the candlesticks kind of a "refined industrial" look, if that's not too much of a contradiction in terms. They are very handsome, quite substantial and are 9.5" tall and 6" at the base.
This is one of a pair of fabulous pillows made by hand from an antique oriental rug and having an inset panel of needlepoint tapestry. The back of the pillow is covered in brown velvet. It has an opening through which the inside pillow can be removed and the cover cleaned when needed. This closes with buttons. The pillow is approximately 25" square.

This very pretty French perfume bottle has a decidedly art deco look to it. It is blue glass with a wonderful stylized flame stopper in brilliant red glass. Not new, but never used. About 5.5" and perfect.
I bought this bowl several years ago and am so fond of it that I have only just decided to sell it. It is by a California potter, whose name I don't remember, who did wonderful things with glazes. The red is splashed with white and the combination is stunning. The bowl is signed with the potter's monogram and dated 05. The bowl is 9.5" in diameter and 2" deep.
