    • Rare French Enameled Urn


      Very, very rare, and very very beautiful. I've only seen one other example of this work many years ago in Paris. A soft faded blue and white with hints of brown, enamel over cast iron. A pair of lions masks grace the sides. Thought to be manufactured in  le Bourget by C.H. Paris et Co. Early 19th century. The interior base of the urn has rusted away and we see traces of rust through the enamel as viewed in the photos but otherwise in good condition. 13.5" wide, 12.75" tall. Please contact me for a freight quote, this piece is very heavy.

    • Sterling Silver Filigree Case


      Can you imagine the workmanship involved? I bought this from a dealer friend (Bernard) who has had it in his personal collection for 25 years. It's enchanting to hold. There is a hallmark but I haven't been able to identify it. Heavy in the hand. About 3.25" x 2.25". The inside was originally vermeil and bit's remain. What will you put inside? I envision love notes, a bird feather, a single perfect stone, a sprig of lavender......
