Here is a lovely and very old serving spoon with a berry motif in the gold-washed interior bowl (the wash or gilt is very pale, and doesn’t show up in the photos). By its hallmarks (crowned leopard’s head, lion passant, and date letter “N” with “feathers”), it was made in London during 1768-1769. The maker’s mark is a script “BB”. It measures 8-1/2" x 1-3/4", and weighs approximately 56g. Just gorgeous!

This 3-piece set consists of a fork, spoon, and pate server. We were able to find the grasshopper mark for 800 silver, 1864-1893, on two of the pieces. They are between 7 and 7-1/4” each, and weigh a total 4.04oz. They show wear commensurate with their age, and the pate server shows signs of being overheated, perhaps in a dish washer (see last photo). I’m told it can probably be fixed fairly easily. It is still a very pretty and sweet set, and would grace any party or sideboard. More photos avai ...click for details

This fun little spoon is graced with a beautiful columbine flower, buds and leaves, beautifully realized in pale enamels and Sterling Silver. It is engraved: "Yellowstone Park" in fancy script in the bowl of the spoon. It measures 5-3/4", and weighs 19.1g, and I have no idea how old it is, but it is enchantingly pretty! (Please note that photographing this piece was very difficult, so in the photo of the whole spoon, the colors of the enamel are very washed out.)

Splendid mirror signed by Unger Bros, and also stamped “Pat. Applied For”. It is decorated with curly-cues and flowers and is very sweet indeed. The mirror is made out of beveled glass. It is 10-1/4” including the handle, and the mirror portion measures 5-5/8” across. It weighs 12.36 oz. There are blank places for monograms. It is in excellent antique condition, though the edge shows some dings, as is usual for these antique mirrors. Circa 1900.

Here is a lovely set of late Victorian era silver. The spoon is 9” long, the knife is 10-1/2” and together they weigh 6.22 oz. The bowl of the spoon measures 3-1/4 x 2-1/2”, the blade of the knife is about 4-1/2”. They are marked with the boar’s head for 800 Silver, and with a “J” and a “G” separated by a stylized grapevine for J. Granvign. (The mark on the knife is much clearer than on the spoon.) I believe the spoon bowl and the knife blade had a gold wash, as they are still very faintly gold. ...click for details

Here are four identical serving dishes, described to me by their owner as eggplant shaped. These came down to her through her mother-in-law, Nina, who came from a quite well-do-do family. They lived in France when Nina was young, and brought many beautiful antiques back with them (we also have a Sterling coffee/tea set from their collection, which we will be listing soon). These dishes are 950 silver (marked with the Minerva head with the 1), and Emile Hugo’s maker’s mark. Hugo was working in Pa ...click for details

This sweet little purse is in excellent condition. The top is base metal, unmarked, with a lady wearing hat that appears to be made out of a flower. Maybe she’s a fairy, if she is small enough to use a flower that way? The body of the purse is crocheted of a beige-colored string or thread, and then decorated with beads in a sort of spiky spiral pattern. The lid measures 2-1/3”. These were being made at the turn of the last century, and probably before. In excellent condition.
