Victorian Hair Comb with Paste Stones

This piece speaks for itself! It is from the Victorian era. Beautiful! It has the look of tortoise shell but I have not verified that. I do know it is from the late 1800's - 1920's based on the person it was purchased from. Intricately decorated with paste stones and geometric design.

Fabulous Pheasant Feather Hat

This hat is constructed of pheasant and bird feathers. It is absolutely stunning! Would fit in today's eclectic fashion with ease. I believe it is from the early 1900's, perhaps 1920's. Great display piece.

Northwood's Brilliant Display of Color in Grape Arbor Pitcher

Grape Arbor was a pattern that Harry Northwood used before the carnival glass era. It transitioned into the iridescent treatment from custard glass. Northwood began production of carnival glass in 1908. This pitcher is in amethyst base glass and its colors are stunning!

Carved Shell Brooch/Pendent Three Graces Marked "500"

Depicted on this brooch are the Three Graces, known in Greek mythology as goddesses of such things as charm, beauty, and creativity. This brooch is well made; carved in shell. The shell is somewhat translucent when held to the light.  It has the look of a Victorian or Edwardian brooch; it is stamped "500" indicating that the gold content is 12k. Due to the closure on the back,  a roll over clasp, I estimate this piece to be c1920-1930, late Edwardian. The oval brooch measures 1 inch x 7/8 inch.

The Three Graces Bezel Set 12K Gold

The pin is straight and functions well. The piece does double duty as a brooch or might also be worn as a pendent since it has a loop at the top. Currently there is a chain on it. I do not believe it is the original chain and the quality is not as good as the pendant.

Antique Baby Photo in Victorian Frame Brooch Original Box

Green and white "stones" encircle the brass frame. The stones appear to be green and white jade.

Antique Baby Photo in Brooch Late 1800
All of the stones are present but 3 have sustained some damage. The are no longer slightly domed but flattened down. The frame was originally a brooch but the pin has gone missing over the years. The C clasp is still attached, dating this piece to the late 1800's.  The celluloid materials covering the picture has crackled due to age but it is still in place and protects the small photograph.





Baby Picture in Jade Studded Brass Frame Late 1800


The small frame is made of brass. It does show tarnish, even small areas of verdigris.  The back of the frame shows considerable patina. It is also marked "?lock pat.pend." The first letters are under tarnish.

The stones at the clock positions of 11, 12 and 1:30 have been chipped.
Baby Brooch in Original Box




The brooch frame comes in its original box. The top of the box says "Best Wishes" so I am inclined to think the photo is of a living child.
