Vintage Jewellery & Accessories
One of the sections that stand out for me in this catalogue is the memorial jewellery, there are various pieces that stand out for different reasons. A really interesting piece is lot 24, a mid 19th century enamel Yale college fraternity pin with personal inscription 'Arthur M Lee, N, Class of 62. This was mentioned in a New York Times article published on January 3, 1864. Also lot 29 is a stunning piece, this mid 19th century 15ct gold blue and white enamel and turquoise scrolling ribbon design sentimental brooch shows that sentimental jewellery isn't always dark and morbid in appearance.
Fobs and seals proved popular in our January auction so we have
another great selection in this sale. My favourite is lot 309, a novelty seal depicting a monkey in Sherlock Holmes style attire.
The amber market is still very strong so we have some exciting pieces for you, including lot 481, a natural amber cabochon ring with a crane fly inclusion, it?s amazing to think that fl y has been preserved in the amber for years and will be for years to come.
The final section of the catalogue is a collection of clothes we have received from a Dame of the British Empire. The are some exquisite clothes and stunning outfits within this collection, a rare chance to purchase designer and couture pieces that are in great condition, a lot of which have only been worn once for high profile events.
