**Good Christofle Belle Epoque Silverplate Jardiniere.
Overall Condition: Good.
There is a small repair above one of the feet, about 5/8" diameter and visible as a black spot on the interior. Otherwise fine, with no dents or breaks noted. Visible casting marks and screw-heads on the interior, suggesting the piece is lacking a liner. The silvering is attractively worn to the light yellow (bronze?) base metal at the highest points of relief throughout. Very hefty. Marked (on the underside) with the Christofle trademark and "Christofle" alongside the serial number 1492909. A nice decorative piece. |

Overall Condition: Very Good.
Slight downward dent and faint horizontal scratch on the thumb-piece of the first standard example. Both are very slightly out of round thanks to some light bumps, but neither have any major dents.

|
**French First Standard (.950) Silver Desk Magnifier.
Overall Condition: Good.
Moderate wear with scattered pinpoint dents and scuffs on the handle. Narrow 3/4" split on either side of the handle near the end, presumably a result of the later addition of the lens frame; a very short (1/16") split at the finial end. Lens good, with no significant scratches noted.

|
|
381 |
|
**Large Italian .800 Silver Punch Bowl.
Overall Condition: Good.
A couple of scattered small dents, the most significant about 3/16" near one foot. The piece has evidently been given a coat of protective lacquer, which has started to yellow in some spots and crackle in others, especially near the rim. The gilt interior has extensive oxidation, particularly under the rim. No monograms or evidence of their removal. We recommend a professional removal of the lacquer and cleaning.

**Fine Austro-Hungarian Empire Eleven-Piece Third Standard (.800) Silver Lady's Travelling Toilette.
Overall Condition: Very Good.
One or two small dents on the base of one candelabrum, but otherwise in quite good condition, with minor wear consistent with minimal use. Scattered green spotting on the reverse of the mirror frame, with some minor losses and scratches at the lower edge of the mirrored plate. Note that the mirror easel is silverplate, though the frame itself is properly marked. Each piece marked with either the Austro-Hungarian large "Dianakopf" or small "hundkopf" third standard mark (assay office code "A" for Vienna) in use 1866-1922; and with the "four leaf clover" trademark of Alexander Sturm; the mirror additionally with his maker's mark "ASt". The case has a shrinkage split running its length on the lid, but is still sound; the lining has some very light soiling. Quite an impressive set with no significant condition issues. |

This table is actually an earlier table in part, which was rebuilt and restored around 1900. The top, drawer front and sides all appear to be ca. 1800. There are minor losses and repairs to the inlay on the top, along with surface wear and scratches. There is a 4" piece of loose crossbanding and some odd bits of scattered small inlay which need to be re-glued. There are two scratches in the penwork panel. The legs have repaired cracks. The table is extremely sturdy and structurally sound. |
|
|
466 |
|
**Italian Neoclassical-Style Commode:
The top has some shrinkage cracks due to age: one that runs almost full width and two smaller ones near the outside edges. Some of the string inlay is missing around the drawer edges. There are minor veneer ripples to the sides of the case. The finish on the front appears to have some splatter marks, possibly from water. |
|
|
467 |
|
**Italian Marble Bust of "Apollo Belvedere":

|
|
547 |
|
**Victorian Burl Amboyna and Ebonized Parlor Cabinet:
Generally in excellent condition, with tight construction and a finish which is probably original and also in excellent condition. As evidenced in the catalogue/online photograph, there is some significant loss to the silvering of the mirror backs. The upper left mirror surround is cracked in two places and missing the tip of a volute. The shelves below that are missing some veneer trim at the junction of the shelf with the mirror frame. There are a few odd losses to the beading, and some beading is replaced at the lower edges surrounding the porcelain plaques. The original beading is brass--the replacement appears to be carefully carved wood. The plaques on either side of the drawer are perplexing. They consist of a beaded surround over glass covering a gold leaf decorated panel. The gold leaf is clearly old and unadorned. We are uncertain whether it is an old replacement or a period design technique. |
|
|
549 |
|
**Victorian Mahogany Bookcase:
NOTE: This piece is from the Victorian period and dates to the mid-19th century.

**Early George III Sterling Silver Coffeepot.
Overall Condition: Good.
The lid is a possible later replacement or marriage. The finial has been professionally repaired, probably having been broken off at some point. Likewise, a rough area of silver solder on the underside of the foot suggests a possible repair. Otherwise, the piece seems to be in very good condition, with no condition issues beyond the expected signs of age. The handle is tight; and the lid hinge has slight give but is entirely sound. The repousse decoration is of later date as noted. Hallmarked (on the underside) with: 1) the sterling lion passant; 2) the London leopard's head; 3) the date letter "L" for 1766-1767; and 4) the "S.W" maker's mark of Samuel Whitford. The lid interior is part-marked with the lion passant and a (date?) letter "W" (in script), suggesting it is not original. |
|
|
555 |
|
**Associated Pair of George III Sterling Silver Butter Shells.
Overall Condition: Good.
Both pieces have several narrow lines of silver solder along the grooves on the underside where the upper sharp edges have worn through and been repaired. These professional repairs are mostly invisible on the upper side; they are noticeable in a few spots on one shell. The other shell is dented very slightly downward on one edge. No monograms/crests or evidence of their removal. Each piece hallmarked (one under the handle, the other on the edge) with: 1) the sterling lion passant; 2) the London leopard's head; 3) the date letter "A" (for 1796-1797) or "I" for 1804"; 4) the George III bust duty mark (the 1804 example cusped); and 5) the "TW" script mark of Thomas Wallis II or the "IC/TH" in a trefoil maker's mark of Crouch & Hannam. |
|
|
556 |
|
**George III Irish Sterling Silver Gilt Salver.
Overall Condition: Good.
No dents or breaks noted. The center area is thinned, with a very slight 1/8" crack on the underside, suggesting that an earlier armorial has been removed and replaced; the gilding is thus also later addition or refreshment. The gilding is generally good, but worn on all the high spots of the rim. Excellent chasing and engraving. Hallmarked (on the underside) with 1) the Dublin "harp" standard mark, 2) the seated Hibernia duty mark, 3) the date letter "E" for 1777, and 4) a maker's mark "JL", script, in a serrated oval. |
|
|
557 |
|
**George III Paul Storr (1771-1844) Sterling Silver Hot Water Jug.
Condition: Good.
No significant dents or scratches noted; no breaks. The silver handle is a later addition, replacing what was almost certainly a wood original. Some minor wear to the details around the interior edges of the cartouches suggest that the crest might be a later addition with an earlier one buffed out, but no thinning to the metal noted. Lid and hinge tight and secure. Hallmarked (on the underside) with: 1) the sterling lion passant; 2) the London leopard's head; 3) the date letter "u" for 1795-1796; 4) the George III bust duty mark; and 4) the "PS" in a conjoined circle maker's mark of Paul Storr; the lid underside part-marked. |
|
|
562 |
|
**William IV Old Sheffield Plate Epergne.
Overall Condition: Good.
Scattered surface scuffs consistent with age. Structurally very sound. No breaks or repairs noted; slight dents around the circular pans at the bottom of each small basket. Some bleeding to the copper at the sharp edges and high relief of the central standard; likewise some wear at high relief of the banding and feet revealing the lead core. Glass bowls lacking as noted in the catalogue description. Considerable oxidation in the recesses which can be removed with a proper cleaning. A nice piece, needing only replacement bowls and a good cleaning. |
|
|
563 |
|
**Fine Pair of Early Victorian Sterling Silver Wine Coolers.
Overall Condition: Good.
Several scattered shallow dents and dings on the underside of the bowl of each cooler, the longest about 5/8", but none of real significance. Good patina, excellent detail and engraving. One fused plate liner has some large areas of bleeding through to the copper around the rim. Each cooler hallmarked (on the body, under a handle) with: 1) the sterling lion passant; 2) the London leopard's head; 3) the date letter "C" for 1838-1839; 4) the Victoria's bust duty mark; and 5) the "EE/B/JW" in a trefoil maker's mark of Edward Barnard & Sons. An exceptional pair. |
|
|
564 |
|
**Pair of Early Victorian Hunt & Mortimer Sterling Silver Wine Coasters.
Overall Condition: Fair.
Both coasters have a ring of solder around the perimeter of the base where they have been repaired, probably having been detached; one bottom is yet again partially detached, extending slightly more than halfway around.

Each piece hallmarked (on the basal edge) with: 1) the sterling lion passant; 2) the London leopard's head; 3) the date letter "E" for 1840-1841; 4) the Victoria's bust duty mark; and 5) the "IM & ISH, crowned" maker's mark of Hunt & Mortimer; the bases part-marked. |

Scattered scuffs and pinpoint dents consistent with age. Two small, shallow dents on one narrow end: one about 1/8" diameter, just above the banding at the bottom, and a larger, fingernail-sized dent hidden in the swag decoration. Lid does not sit perfectly flush, gaping about 1/8" at the front. One nut which holds the lock in place on the inside is lacking, as is the key. Hinge good and tight. No monograms or evidence of their removal. Hallmarked (on the underside) with 1) the sterling lion passant; 2) the London leopard's head; 3) the date letter "e" for 1860-1861; 4) the Victoria's bust duty mark; and 5) the "WS" in conjoined circles maker's mark of William Stocker. The lock mechanism and lid both part-marked. The underside additionally stamped with retailer's mark: "Lambert & Rawlings / Coventry St. / London". |

**Victorian Three-Piece Sterling Silver Fruit Basket Set.
Overall Condition: Good. An attractive set with some scattered dents and wear from use, but still quite attractive and functional.
Large Basket: Scattered scuffs and scratches, including some light pitting and pinpoint dents on the interior, bottom, but no breaks or repairs noted. One foot on the long side is dented upwards, and there is some slight compression distortion to the cyma curve on side one narrow end of the basket.

|
579 |
|
**Pair of Victorian Sterling Silver Tapersticks.
Overall Condition: Good.
Both show some evidence of a repair of a compression dent where the base meets the standard, with some faint cracks and small exposed pitch. Otherwise no condition issues beyond the expected wear consistent with age. The iron weights on the underside are rusted but perfectly secure and functional. Each piece hallmarked (on the basal edge) with: 1) the sterling lion passant; 2) the London leopard's head; 3) the date letter "T" for 1894-1895; and 4) the "TB" in a shield maker's mark of Thomas Bradbury & Sons.

Six plates have dark oxidation on the center plateau which does not appear to respond to simple cleaning. Each piece marked on the underside with a pair of crossed keys in a shield.

Four of the shades, all with no condition issues other than a few chips at the neck when they attach, are signed LCT Favrile; the other six are not signed and were likely assembled at a later time. Please note we do not guarantee the working condition of electrical fixtures. This lamp has at least a couple of generations of fittings, some possibly original. More than likely, it was at least partially rewired a long time ago. The celluloid button switch does not work, but the later cord switch might work. We have not plugged in the lamp due to safety concerns, but we did try it with a volt meter and it does NOT appear to work. |
