Antique Dolls House. A Rare Early 1800’s Box Back Completely Original
Posted by admin On March 22, 2026
A Rare Early Mid 1800’s Dolls House. Completely untouched with original interior and exterior decor paint and decorative wall and floor papers. This house is very old and shows signs of age and wear. Five of the original thin glass windows are fractured. I understood collectors of rare items would prefer them unrestored and in complete original condition. If not please contact me 07921583271. The facade mechanism to access is to slide upwards to open and remove and the same to close in reverse. Not heavy in weight. This old dolls house needs sympathetic care and attention. I have the missing facade base piece that has been fractured away. Courier available, please ask me for contact information. Free collection in person.
2 RARE Antique Ernst Wahliss Turn Vienna Vases 1910 EARLY ART DECO design
Posted by admin On March 21, 2026
From an estate in the Bay Area owned by a woman from France who lived until her mid 90s. These were her parent’s. They are not 100% the same size but both are roughly 6 inches tall. They do NOT have the red EW/Turn Vienna stamp on bottom but there is evidence of a paper stamp on one. Perhaps they date from before their’marketing team’ designed the Turn Vienna logo. I know of no one else who used this particular design pattern/color scheme so I’m going with Mr. That’s all I got. Holler with any questions or concerns.
RARE Set 6 Antique Georgian/Early Victorian Beadwork Doilies/Doily/Table Mats
Posted by admin On March 21, 2026
This is a superb rare set of 6 antique doilies/dressing table mats comprising of one large oval mat and five smaller round mats. The beadwork is incorporated into a fine cotton/linen crochet doily. The previous owner advises that these were appraised by Eric Knowles at an antiques valuation day and he suggested they may be Georgian or early Victorian. In fabulous condition for age with no obvious damage to the beadwork and no major staining only gentle signs of soiling from years of dust. As with all vintage linens please expect there may be other more minor signs of wear and the odd missing bead/broken thread. The large doily measures approx. 18″ x 15″ and the smaller ones approx.
Antique Silver Plated Cruet Set & Tray -Rare Cayenne bottle Early 20th century
Posted by admin On March 20, 2026
An absolutely fantastic antique cruet set with beautifully preserved original cut crystal bottles. The carving is crisp and elegant. The proportions are beautifully balanced. And yes – it includes the rare cayenne pepper bottle with its pierced top, still present and intact. There are clearly visible maker’s marks on the stand. What I can say with confidence: it is an English silver-plated set from the early 20th century, solidly made and thoughtfully designed. The silver plate shows noticeable wear along the edges and on the upper handle, with warm brass tones coming through in places. This is honest age-related wear and consistent with its age. Structurally, it is strong and stable. The glass is in very good condition. No chips or cracks observed. The set has been carefully cleaned and gently polished where appropriate. The condition visible in the photographs is exactly as described – what you see is what you will receive. No hidden defects, no structural issues, no unpleasant surprises. The silver tray is not original to the set. It has been intentionally paired to complement the cruet and create a stronger visual presence. Together, they can function not only as serving ware but as a refined centrepiece for a dining table or kitchen island. The tray may also be used separately if preferred. Some pieces reveal everything. Some keep a small secret.

Stunning and exceltionally rare petit point embroidered handbag (31x33cm incl handle). The handle (8cm2) is jade as is the clasp inlay as well as the small stones. The pearl embrodery is in extremey good condition, but as you can see the metal handle, which is very soft, has suffered a break. Its possible to bend it into place, but it would need professional restoration if you want to use it. The silk interior is intact and unblemished. According to the Purse Museum (private collection by Vicky Schwager) these bags were importet to the US in early 20thC. She states on her webpage that Department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue featured them in advertisements.
