George Washington: A Choice, Large-size Battersea Enameled Curtain Tie-Back. So called because they were produced, along with a variety of small, lidded boxes, in Battersea, England. Some of the motifs were clearly intended for the American market, like this one. Similar drawer pulls were also made, but the size and long 1½" brass post identifies this as a tie-back. These enameled pieces are prone to crazing, and this is an exceptionally fine example, with only two trivial fine hairlines noted for accuracy. Diameter is just under 2".
