RARE ANTIQUE FIND 9ct Gold circa 1900 Lucky Kidney Bean charm 1 gram 1.84cm tall 9.3mm wide. Antique 9ct lucky bean charm. This puffed hollow form pendant is kidney bean shaped. This design has long been popular with beans dating from the Victorian era through to modern time. This particular example is dated to the turn of the 20th century. I have polished it to a high shine but not so deep as to disturb the gorgeous patina. Circa 1900, to the rear we can observe the’9ct’ purity stamp and the maker’s mark’R&S’. This lucky bean was converted previously from cufflinks and solder marks are present to the rear along the bail as photographed. Professionally tested and assessed as 9 carat gold. The gold is pale-rosey in colour, as Victorian gold typically is. Measures 1.84cm long x 9.3mm wide and 5mm deep. Weight is 1 gram. It’s more than gold; it’s a tangible expression of the moments that define us. NO USA TARIFFS – I have you covered!

Huge Rare Early 19th Century Sicilian Marionette Puppet Opera Dei Pupi 47 Tall
Stunning and very rare Sicilian Marionette dating to the early 19th century. This particular example is the largest I’ve ever owned, standing at 47 inches tall (119cm) & weighing the same as a small child. Very solid in structure throughout, made from a timber skeleton, which is connected with metal rods and finished with stuffing, such as horse hair, and finally covered in material. There would of been more clothing, and potentially a suit of armour. The hands, feet and head are all beautifully hand carved, the eyes on this particular example also move up and down. Wear commensurate with age, crack on the head as picture shows, which is still solid and intact. They became popular in Sicily late in the Middle Ages, during the fifteenth century, and marionettes are still considered an important part of Sicilian folk culture. Sicilian puppet theatre (opera dei pupi) or, more properly, “marionette theatre, ” developed into its present form in the eighteenth century. Strictly speaking, “puppets” fit over the hand, while marionettes are figures controlled by strings, but in common parlance the terms are often used interchangeably; what we’re describing are actually marionettes. Typically, the marionettes and their theatre depict medieval characters and legendary events based loosely on history. 47 / 119cm Tall. 15 / 38cm wide at shoulders.
