Antique Meerschaum Sacred Heart of JesusThese antique meerschaum carvings are usually found under glass in simple pressed oval shaped, metal or ebonized wood frames. Someone married one to baroque style cast iron frame from the same era. I dont typically go for a marriage but this one was very nicely done and looks gorgeous. Refer to photos for size and condition.

This petite box is the perfect size for jewelry & small keepsakes

but I just couldn’t leave her behind

It’s a stunning example of Jugendstil design- Vienna’s cousin to the art nouveau moment

Very good condition with some tanning to the linen from age

mid-Victorian mother of pearl inlaid tea caddy made of black lacquer with two compartments for tea leaves

Presented in a gold wooden frame

The box is also heavily worn & split

Measures about 13” tall in very good condition with a small chip to the paint at the top and some wax residue on the base

some soiling to the silk interior

Condition is acceptable with a slightly shaky binding & quite a bit of wear to the covers
