Main photo of novelty silver name/menu holders with 8 of the taller figures in a row at the back and the young match seller and seated cane chair restorer are in the centre foreground. It's great fun to go back in time to discover what street sellers actually sold as these tradesmen are now long gone. Each piece has been created with incredible attention to detail which we'll go into as we go on. Fantastic gift item.
Photo of 5 of the 10 figures this group includes the cane chair repairer in the foreground with left to right the rabbit seller with rabbits hanging from a pole over his shoulder, the muffin man? with a large tray on his head, the chimney sweep with his sweep and the road sweeper with his brush.

Main photo of Victorian gold filled brooch displayed on top of a slice of natural agate. The photo looks down at the brooch from above with the safety chain shown hooked out to the left in a U shape. This is a very special brooch which would not have looked out of place worn by the flashiest dandies of the day. Lovely frame work around the generous sized stone. Add to cart

Main photo of Pomellato gourmet knot ring displayed on top of a block of black marble and the ring front forward facing. The ring appears like a rope knot but is in fact 2 pieces of tubular silver. One piece makes up the band and shoulders - imagine a rubber band that has been set in silver and moulded into a solid form. The front of the ring is a separate smaller tubular band that has been weaved within the main band to create a knot look. Add to cart

Even displayed on a flat surface, the ring front is leaning to the left and the shoulders look as though left one is lower than the other. On close inspection, there are no signs of damage or repair hence probability of it being a design feature.
