Elaborately repousseed chased and engraved, this charming and practical hand warmer once lay concealed in the long sleeves of a rich Chinese, a comfort in the long, cold months. Deftly disguising the necessary reticulations, a host of very finely detailed birds, foliage and flowers form a harmonious design that covers the sides and top. At some time, maybe originally, the piece was entirely silvered, but almost all of that enrichment has disappeared from the outer surfaces, leaving nicely patinated warm, golden brass. The base has a small hallmark, but I cannot decipher the characters, Excellent condition, probably first quarter of the Nineteenth Century. Approximately 6 inches by 4-1/2 inches by 4-1/2 inches to the top of the copper swing handle.   « Less

You might have seen an identical pair of these on the BBC "Antiques Roadshow" a few seasons ago. The expert was viewing a woman's lifelong collection of scissors and scissor-like implements, and these he would not let out his hands! (I wonder if she got them back?) They really are fascinating: you open the chamber to receive the burnt wick, and when you close it, a guillotine rises up and chops off the used part, thus containing it and the acrid smoke. All in close-plated steel, the sleek design incorporates a point for picking out the bits from the melted wax and three charming bun feet. English, circa 1800. Condition is superb, with little wear to the plating and no rust. Approximately seven inches long by 2-1/4 inches wide by 1-5/8 inches high. BE THE FIRST KID ON YOUR BLOCK TO HAVE ONE!   « Less
