Antique Early Staffordshire Figure Medieval King Arthur Rare Vintage Ceramic

Posted by admin On November 12, 2024

Like many pieces from this time there are flaws – one chip as seen to the underneath of the base, a repair between his head and neck which has been done well, and a line in his cloak as well as wear to the pearl like coating. There isn’t much I can find about this piece – he may well be King Arthur and this particular style of figurine is extremely rare.

Rare Antique Pair of Miniature 4 English Staffordshire King Charles Spaniel Dog

Posted by admin On August 21, 2024

Not new with crazing but otherwise in good vintage condition as seen clearly in the 24 pictures/sizes are seen in photos. Crazing is the effect on pottery which causes it to have a web of tiny cracks over its surface. These are not cracks in the actual structure of the pottery but actually an effect on the glazed part of the pottery. This exquisite pair of miniature figurines is a I believe rare antique find from the early 20th century. The Staffordshire King Charles Spaniel Dogs are beautifully crafted with a glossy finish and art pottery production style. Measuring about 3 inches in length and 4 inches in height, these original figurines are handmade and feature intricate details, including the iconic Staffordshire Dogs pattern. The white and black colour scheme adds to their vintage charm, and they are unboxed, ready to display in any collection. These figurines are a must-have for any dog lover or collector of early 20th-century pottery. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of history with this stunning pair of Staffordshire King Charles Spaniel Dogs.

Superb Rare Antique (1746) English King George II Uncirculated Silver Half Crown

Posted by admin On April 13, 2022

Superb Rare Antique (1746) English King George II Uncirculated Milled Silver Half Crown In Investment cognition. Absolutely fantastic coin in breathtaking condition. Please browse all 12 sets of photographs attached for size, weight and condition as they are self explanatory. Half-Crown of George II, 1746. The inscription reads GEORGIUS II DEI GRATIA (George II by the Grace of God). The word LIMA under the king’s head signifies that the coin was struck from silver seized from the Spanish treasure fleet off Lima, Peru, during the War of the Austrian Succession. Obverse: LIMA below bust. Obverse Legend: GEORGIUS. II. DEI. GRATIA. Reverse: Shields in cruciform. Reverse Legend: F. D. B. ET. L. D. S. R. I. A. T. ET. E. M. B. F. ET. H. REX. This coin is in impeccable order and has been handed down several generations and has always been kept in a lovely dry place. I’m told he (and my grandfather) always used to keep selected coins in a humidity controlled box (similar to a cigar box) which was atmospherically controlled to keep them dry and they were there right through George III and Victorian periods all the way through to George V period when it was finally handed down to my father. I inherited this coin in 1983 when my father passed away and I have always kept it in a perspex capsule and in a box with silicone sachets to keep it completely dry and tarnish free. I loved the unusual original box and used it for my cigars and had it in my possession until some years ago when sadly that along with a few other small antiques was lost (or stolen) during our house move. This coin has been cherished and lovingly looked after almost 2 75 years and is free from damage and scratches. It has only ever been handled with cotton gloves! I have carefully taken it out of the perspex capsule to photograph and placed it back in it after doing so. It will be extremely rare to find a silver coin this age in such remarkable condition. It is almost as if this coin in new. I hope to find it a good home and someone who will cherish it and look after it as my family have. Unfortunately my children have no interest in coins. Hence the reluctanct sale. George II was King of Great Britain and Ireland, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and a prince-elector of the Holy Roman Empire from 11 June 1727 until his death in 1760. George is the most recent British monarch born outside Great Britain: he was born and brought up in northern Germany.

Rare Early Vintage Silver King Clarinet

Posted by admin On June 5, 2021

This may be one of the first Silver King Clarinets made with a sterling silver bell, probably around 1926. It is very unique, and something special for a collector. Out of thousands of metal clarinets Ive owned (see The Silver Clarinet Site on the internet) this one had a bell that flared out just a little more than any other, and different from any other Silver King Ive had. The barrel pushed in all the way is HP (This might be something you must have if you are engaging in an original Dixieland Band), but pull out the barrel to the edge of the cork and you have something like LP. In other words it might have issues about playing in tune for some people. I really loved playing this clarinet solo! A fun clarinet to play, and a must have for your Silver King collection. Comes with a rare Selmer Magni-Tone mouthpiece (at asking price). Offers lower than asking price will exclude the mouthpiece. Rare vintage reed included. Fantastic antique collectible that is still in excellent playable condition. See my other listings for more treasures from my collection. Rare Early Vintage Silver King Clarinet. The item “Rare Early Vintage Silver King Clarinet” is in sale since Friday, December 4, 2020. This item is in the category “Antiques\Musical Instruments (Pre-1930)\Wind”.
