Two Maisons

French Scenery

A vintage oil painting on board. Awash with color. A view of a French village in your very own home. 10.75" x 15"

Regal Silver Medallion

Maybe it garnished a leather bag, maybe a belt, perhaps a shield? Cast of silver, filled with lead. A noble 2+" long. A beauty.

Order of the Academic Palms Medal

The Ordre des Palmes Académique was created by Napoleon. The recipient was most likely awarded for their contribution to the development of knowledge. A thing worthy of a medal don't you think? This one is adorably petit. 2.75" including ribbon and in it's original case.

Lady of the Seven Sorrows Medal

19th century brass medal hanging from a purple ribbon. Just over 1".

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......
