Measuring 39.75 inches long x 17.50 inches high, this untouched, all-original, single-sided, porcelain, circa 1930-40s sign is an extraordinarily RARE piece of Black American history-- an artifact of the "Jim Crow" era when segregation of the African American race was unfortunately, most commonplace.
The origin of this sign is unknown, but given its very substantial size and weight, it likely once hung as a directional sign in a major bus or railroad station, designating the "WHITES ONLY" are...

One of Taxco's foremost modernist designers, Enrique Ledesma is a master when it comes to setting gems against oxidized, minimalist backgrounds and the hinged bracelet at hand proves the veracity of my assertion. Open-backed topaz and color-change sapphire, one of each, seem to float on a silky gris-sourris platform drawing attention to their strong color and to the asymmetry of the design. The bracelet has an inner circumference of 6 7/8" (clasped) while its width varies between 1 1/4" in the...
