Rare Antique Early 20th Century Chinese Hand-Carved Wooden Boat Model on Stand
Antique Early 20th Century Chinese Hand-Carved Wooden Boat Model on Stand. Antique Chinese hand-carved wooden boat model dating to the early 20th century. This sculptural vessel features elongated bow and stern forms with deeply carved geometric and wave motifs along the hull, showcasing traditional Chinese craftsmanship and folk art design.

Rare Early 19th Century Italian Hardstone Snuff Box Gold & Micromosaic Feline
Micromosaic Feline – Rose & Yellow Low-Carat Gold Mounts. This elegant circular snuff box exemplifies the finest early 19th-century Italian craftsmanship. The lid is centered with a superb micromosaic plaque depicting a striding feline (possibly inspired by Roman antiquity models), executed in minute tesserae of remarkable precision. The animal is set against a pale ground with landscape foreground, displaying extraordinary detail in musculature, shading, and movement. The micromosaic is framed by a polished green hardstone border, likely serpentine, complementing the matching hardstone body of the box. The mounts are crafted in rose and yellow low-carat gold, typical of early 19th-century Italian workmanship, with a subtle warm patina consistent with age. Boxes of this quality were often produced in Rome for Grand Tour travelers and collectors of classical taste. Origin: Italy (likely Rome). Hardstone (green serpentine / verde antico type). Rose and yellow low-carat gold mountings. Technique: Fine Roman micromosaic. Micromosaic in very good antique condition. Minor age-related wear consistent with early 19th century pieces. Natural patina to gold mounts. No major losses observed. Please review photographs carefully as they form part of the description. Diameter: box cm 8.2 – mosaic cm 7. Height: 2.3 cm. Roman micromosaic objects were highly prized souvenirs during the Grand Tour period. The feline subject reflects the enduring fascination with antiquity and Roman mosaic models discovered in Pompeii and Herculaneum. ? Why This Piece Is Special. Exceptional quality micromosaic execution. Attractive classical feline subject. Elegant combination of hardstone and gold mounts. Highly collectible Grand Tour object. ? A rare opportunity to acquire a museum-quality Italian micromosaic snuff box from the earliest decades of the 19th century. Please feel free to message with any questions or requests for additional photographs.

Antique Silver Plated Cruet Set & Tray -Rare Cayenne bottle Early 20th century
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.
