$65.00
Measuring 2 1/4" in diameter with a total depth of 7/8", this is a wonderful example of the lush 1930's style of design sometimes called Louis XIV. The compact is made of brass with rhinestone gems. The photo is original to the piece as I got it, but can easily be changed. The side of the compact has an overall machined design. The top is three dimensionally filagreed. The compact mirror appears to be original and is bevelled. There are no damages or repairs to the compact.

$115.00
Measurements: 1 1/2" tall x 3/8" base diameter This is a finely detailed figural bottle in the form of a champagne bottle with a "gilt foil" cover on the "stopper." The bottle unscrews to hold ??????. The seal is tight when the top is closed so this may have been used as a very small perfume vial. The base is clearly marked "sterling." No damages or repairs. Note: True color is a soft, dusty rose

Measurement: 1 1/2"diameter x 5/8" deep (with slighly domed top)

This tiny jewel of a compact is in excellent condition except for the aging of the interior mirror. It contains a puff with ivory ring and cap - made of feathers and silk! The puff is consistent with the 1915 age of the piece, but I do not know if it is original. I purchased the compact with the puff. The guilloche enamel is perfect...

This charming doll's head is dated from the turn of the last century and is in very fine condition except for several tiny paint chips to the paint on the hair - easily touched up - and very fine black paint "dust" barely visible to the left of the nose - also easily removed. She is, as you see from the photo - named "Marion" in gold letters. On the back of the shoulders, in raised letters, it reads: Germany.

This finely detailed box and/or compact, is deeply engraved with the design details picked out by black and cobalt blue enamel. The sterling body is undamaged, with a very tight closure. The enamel is also undamaged except for slight wear abrasion consistent with the age of the piece.

$95.00

Measurements: SIZE: 6.5-7; WEIGHT: 1/2 oz sterling silver; WIDTH:5/8"

Elegant free form design.

This band is marked "sterling 925." Also marked with the letters SA - possibly the initials of the South African modernist designer: Ilana Saka Abramovich, however I am unable to guarantee attribution it to a specific studio.

I do believe that the ring dates to the 1970's.

Measurements:

CHAIN: 24" (copper and brass); BAIL : 1" (brass); PENDANT: 2 1/4" diameter (copper, silver, brass)

This is a beautifully designed and patinated necklace with matching pendant - possibly by Casa Maya of Mexico City. It is signed with most of the word: Mexico. I believe that the script name on the back is the name of the former owner.

The piece is in fine, undamaged condition with good patina.

I have not polished it at all.
