Very Rare Antique Guatemalan ½ Real Coin Necklace – Early 1800s. A remarkable piece of wearable history, this impressive antique necklace is handcrafted from genuine Guatemalan ½ Real silver coins dating back as far as 1811 and displaying the face of Ferdinand VII. The coins have been carefully linked together to create a striking statement necklace that beautifully showcases the character, patina, and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Each historic coin tells its own story, with many displaying authentic wear accumulated over more than 200 years. The substantial length allows the necklace to drape elegantly, while the layered coin arrangement creates movement and visual interest. This collar style necklace has a central coin with a link which could hold a locket or enhancer of your choice. I imagine it was worn for ceremonial purposes at some time in history. Period: Circa early 1800s. Genuine ½ Real silver coins. Length: Approximately 97 cm. Width: Approximately 2 cm. Weight: Approximately 119 grams. Condition: Antique condition with age-related wear consistent with its historical significance. An exceptional collector’s piece that combines numismatic interest with distinctive vintage jewellery design. Perfect for lovers of antique coin jewellery, historical artefacts, and unique statement pieces that cannot be replicated. A rare opportunity to own a tangible piece of 19th-century Guatemalan history, beautifully preserved as an elegant and highly wearable necklace. These circulating coins-such as the 1/2, 1, 4, and 8 Reales-remained standard legal tender in the region until independence in 1821. The Colonial Mint of Guatemala. Ferdinand VII’s portrait and coat of arms appeared on coins minted in Guatemala City from 1808 to 1821. Dear customers, please understand that the star ratings are extremely important to sellers.

MAPPIN & WEBB – Cased Set of 6 Spoons HM 1918 – Rare Early Modernist Geometric Stem Design – No Engravings. A wonderfully intelligent and forward-looking design from Mappin & Webb, dated 1918 yet strikingly modernist in spirit. The stems carry a crisp geometric rhythm of alternating circles and angled cuts, a pattern far more reminiscent of the Cubist and early Deco movement that would dominate the 1920s. The finials are left clean and blank, giving the spoons a sharp architectural clarity. It’s an unusually avant-garde pattern for M&W at this date, and the set survives in its original Mappin & Webb presentation case. A rare and very stylish group. Original M&W fitted case. Condition: lovely clean condition, especially considering they are 108 years old, with only light age-appropriate surface marks – please see the photos. A superb and unusually modernist Mappin & Webb design – an extremely rare pattern, almost never encountered, and a standout example of M&W pushing into modernism long before the Deco era.
