Large late 19th century Victorian knot brooch (circa 1880). Silver, measures65 mm by 33 mm. Excellent condition - just a small cut at the rear, where maybe someone was trying to see if it was hollow or not (it is hollow). The pin covers this. Very arresting item, would look good against a black fabric.   « Less

Extremely good quality large Japanese puzzle ball and tall stand. Beautifully carved ball with black-eyed dragons and foliage carving to the exterior. Inside are at least eight diminishing size balls (possibly ten in total) - however, these are carved in fine pierced work of stars and circles, and there is some breakage to the work, it appears to be only two of the balls. The tall stand with carved figure at the base is made in five or six sections - there is a finely carved little fret-decorated cylinder about two thirds of the way up the stem, and there is a break below the cylinder where it joins the stem above the figurine. A good professional restoration here would easily solve this fault. (The quality of this piece deserves more than a quick home-done glue job). Whole would measure 22 cm to the top of the ball cup and the ball itself is 6.2 cm diameter. (8.3/4 inches by almost 2.1/2 inches).   « Less

Pair of unique and attractive regal-looking sconces...circa 1920's.  The frames are cast and come with a nice and mellow pewter finish.The frosted shades are in great condition, with only a couple of minor nicks where they go into the fitter...not seen after installation.  The shades are so different than the run-of-the-mill Edwardian types.  While it is obvious that they are pressed glass, that rim folding over is so unique.Electrical:  These sconces have been totally re-wired in our UL shop.  Normal sockets for everyday medium base bulbs were installed in each sconce.  We have also replaced the rotary switches, made by Leviton in the 20’s...and still made up to ONE year ago.  So these switches by Leviton are becoming even more antique as we note this.The sconce mounts with one normal sconce mounting all-thread to a normal electrical box from within the case.  All mounting hardware will be supplied.Measurements:  10 3/8” tall by 6 1/4” wide (including shade), and projects into the room from the wall 7 3/4”.  The backplate alone measures 10 3/8" tall x 4" wide.Price for the re-wired, complete pair:  $350.00 as shown.  Careful packing and shipping is $25.00 within the contiguous 48 states.Residents of Alaska, Hawaii and International Customers:  We quote shipping costs on a per order basis and invoice these costs separately.  If you would like a shipping quote before purchase, please contact us...we would be happy to provide one!   « Less

Very unique and lovely glass pendant having multiple light bulbs inside for a nice lighted appearance. Normally these are under-lit, but this one is done nicely and has been re-wired for safety with American style sockets and wire. This pendant has a lovely Edwardian ambiance with the lovely brass roses and leaves, and does remind one of the Art Nouveau style, but it’s a bit more than that too. Origin is continental...perhaps Czechoslovakia or similar states that gave rise to the term Bohemian glass, which is so appreciated today. Measurements: The overall pendant height is 28”. The maximum width is 9”. A complete mounting kit (American style) will be supplied with this very nice light. $895.00 plus $50.00 for careful packing and Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.
