Very Rare 9000 BC (Approx) Flint Spearhead By Early Homo Sapiens Museum Quality
Posted by admin On March 28, 2022
Flint Spearhead Formed By Early Homo Sapiens Museum Quality. Spearhead formed of flint formed by early modern man (Homo Sapiens) between 11000 years ago. Some of these very rare finely made arrow and spearheads, such as this example, have been found in a few sites as old as 11,000 years, usually associated with rare semi-intact burial sites from this period of the Stone Age, i. Grave-Goods’ or as offerings to some deity in order to attain good hunting in that particular area they were in. This is an exceptionally rare’offering’ or grave item, which never appears to have been used, as such is extremely sort after, very rare and is of Museum quality as a near perfect example of a flint spearhead from the early establishment of our ancient ancestors, Homo Sapiens. Size: Length is 105mm and Width is 40mm, being 35g. Originally found as part of an official and authorised archaeological dig, a grave item thought to be an offering to ensure good hunting for the dead in his’after-life’. Location of the’dig’ was on the border between the Netherlands & Germany. Formed part of a very large private collection; previously bought by Dolf Aaij, a highly respected collector/expert of such items, acquiring it from a gallery of ancient art in Amsterdam, 2005. How They Made Such Beautiful Spearheads. The prehistoric craftsmen removed small pieces of rock or flakes from the core using a technique called percussion flaking. This involved striking a portion of the core with a stone hammer. To make more elaborate tools such as arrow heads or spear points, the tool-maker had to do additional shaping and thinning. When the approximate shape was obtained, the final stage of thinning the point and sharpening the edges was accomplished by another technique known as pressure flaking. Here, small and thin flakes were pushed off the edges of the tool with an antler or bone punch. This technique required both skill and physical strength. The pictures do not do it justice at all, but are important to show the condition. Please be patient, we promise to get your item to you as soon as humanly possible.

Posted by admin On March 28, 2022
RARE Antique PA GERMAN Early 19th C TIN Punch Decorated SPICE BOX Folk Art- This is a beautifully crafted early tinware spice box- these early boxes are very hard to find. There are some very nice decorative elements such as the raised lines around the box, really nicely made loop pull and the handmade hinge attachments which attach the lid to the bottom of the box, as well as the wonderfully done punch decorated design on the lid of the box and the nicely done solder work. We have found very few similar to this one in over 30 years of collecting.

Posted by admin On March 25, 2022
Fantastic very rare pink colour antique (1920s) Queen Anne English fine bone china gold gilded twelve piece tea set in lovely condition generally without any chips or cracks or crazing other than a non malignant hairline crack in a single cup as shown in the last photograph attached. A superb set that has been in my family from the outset and I hope to find it a good home. The set is very generously gold gilded and despite its age it is in impeccable condition without any wear to the gold gilding. The photos are an accurate description. Queen Anne was one of the trade names of Shore & Coggins Limited who produced china ware in their Edensor Works, New Street and the High Street Works, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, England. The firm dates back to 1887 when it was known as J. In 1905 a new partnership was formed with Shore, Coggins & Holt, this partnership survived 5 years until 1910 when John William Holt left and Shore & Coggins Limited was formed. (who were aquirinf a number of other pottery businesses). The Wild group expanded the business and intriduced the’Bell China’ trade name. Queen Anne’ and’Princess Anne’ trade names were introduced after the Second World War. In 1966 there was reorganisation of the Wild subsidiary companies (now under the control of Allied English Potteries) which included the closure of the works of Chapmans (Longton) Ltd and Shore & Coggins Ltd. The’Queen Anne’ trade name introduced around 1950 was used until the closure of the Edensor Works in 1966. The trade name was retained by Allied English Potteries Ltd and was used by Ridgway Potteries and was still in use by Royal Doulton in 1981.

Rare 16 Antique Bohemia Royal Dux Figural Conch Clam Shell Nymph Art Nouveau
Posted by admin On March 24, 2022
RARE ANTIQUE BOHEMIA ROYAL DUX FIGURAL CERAMIC CLAM SHELL GIRL NYMPH ART NOUVEAU. This very special 16 figurine is made by ROYAL DUX BOHEMIA. There are many models I have seen in my research but few come near to this beauty, especially in height because of the raised twin pedestal. The alluring nymph – woman is set on the edge of a beautiful conch shell which has all the characteristics of a natural shell with the colour and the curled edges. She is very appealingly leaning over making a fine picturesque stance. The shape of her head and hair is especially lovely with the hand painted features on her face especially fine. Her clothes cover her hardly concealing her beautiful shape and drape, melding seamlessly with the coral pillars. I have yet to find one so tall.. Set on what looks like a coral with flora and fauna. MEASUREMENTS: HEIGHT 16″ x WIDTH 10 1/2 x 7 1/2″ DEEP. CONDITION: NO DAMAGE OR CHIPS. Commensurate with age. I FOUND THIS ON GOOGLE.. The Dux (Duchcov) factory was established in 1853. Seven years passed without apparent successes. The firm just produced utility porcelain. In 1860 it was bought by Eduard Eichler. The new owner named it Eduard Eichler Thonwaren-Fabrik. The factory started to imitate designs by Copenhagen, Worcester and Sevrés. They were succesful winning even Silver Medal at the Paris exhibition. Eduard Eichler died in 1887. Next three years the company was run by his widow. Her son-in-law, Wilhelm Hans, bought it in 1890. He further developed the factory and in 1897 tarnsformed it into a stock corporation Duxer Porzellanmanufaktur A. The company was rewarded the Grand Prix prize at the world exhibition in St. The company had difficulties to continue production during WWI. They weren’t able to keep prewar quality. Another blow for the company was the Great Depression. After World War II German workers had to leave Czechoslovakia. In 1992 the name of the factory in Duchcov was changed to Porcelánová Manufaktura Royal Dux Bohemia A. Since 1997 it is a part of the “Ceský Porcelán” group. I try to describe all the items as accurately and as honestly as possible, and I always include photos or scans of the actual items. My items are usually vintage or antique, very rarely new, and condition will sometimes reflect this with minor marks, wear on gilding etc. Anything major such as cracks chips or major loss of gilding etc will be pointed out in the description and shown on the photos. If you are still unsure as to the condition etc. International buyers please note.
