The town of Elora and the surrounding area, including the Elora Gorge, are long-time tourist attractions. The bridge is a rare example of this type of bridge in Ontario, and this view on the teapot appears to be taken from a photo by either Thomas or John R. Connon, a father and son, both photographers who resided in Elora who took photographed Elora in the 19th century. This view was taken between 1860 and 1890 (reference: Archives of Ontario). The teapot is a nice early example of souvenir ware from that area. This item is in very good condition with no chips, crazing, losses, damage or repairs other than a touch of wear to the upper rim's gold trim and a tight hairline crack in the lid (visible from the front and back).

An beautifully tailored vintage Art Deco black velvet full length evening coat c1930s. This elegant mid 1930s period coat has a rich claret or intense raspberry red upper lapels and cowl hood interior (it was very difficult to get the red colour correct in photos) and it could be worn with the hood over the head or with the edge rolled back slightly, showing an arc of striking deep red velvet around the face. It is lined in ivory-cream satin with panelled construction and pile-pleated shoulders. The coat has typical 1930s bias panels so the coat has an elegant feminine flare when you are walking. It has an interior pocket, and a satin interior tie belt that can be tied to the additional facing velvet loop to allow for a more fitted waist. Both the velvet and satin are excellent quality. It measures 18" from shoulder to shoulder, 55-1/2" from shoulder to hem and it has a approximately 27" waist. It has no tailor tag, so was a custom tailored piece - it is of high quality workmanship and it is in excellent original condition with no damage, disintegration, flaws, repairs or signs of wear other than a small 1/2" flap tear at the shoulder and some creases (which may be fixable with steaming, but I don't have the equipment or expertise). Please note that the closeup of the tear and collar shows a white crease and white around the tear - this is halogen reflection. There is a little lint showing on the coat also. All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted; all items are vintage or antique and may have slight signs of gentle use. Tracked surface shipping to the U.S. starts at $17 (other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $95 if paid with a credit card. Items paid with a credit card will be shipped to confirmed addresses only. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US. PLEASE NOTE: we DO NOT accept PayPal.
