24.01.2022 This French ormolu (gilded bronze), alabaster and carved ivory box is really a prime example of the beauty produced in France around the turn of last century. The piece is signed ‘Marquet’ for Rene Marquet (1875-1939) who combined ivory and ormolu so very beautifully. We took pictures of this delightful piece for our website this week, but if you’d like more information or details, as always don’t hesitate to get in touch. #ormolu #ormolubox #renemarquet #frenchbronze #frenchantiques #antiquesoffrance #antiquefrance #turnofthecentury #antiqueaddict

20.01.2022 Raphael painted the ‘Madonna Della Seggiola’ in 1514, and it is housed in Florence’s Pitti Palace. Just because you can’t have Raphael’s original at home, doesn’t mean you can’t have a fine 19th century Grand Tour copy hanging on your wall. I’d argue that the frame on this particular piece is as good, if not better than the porcelain panel it surrounds. We’ve just uploaded images and details of it to our website, but if you’re curious for more information don’t hesitate to get in touch! #madonnadellaseggiola #raphael #raphaelpainting #grandtour #grandtoursouvenir #grandtoursouvenirs #italianantiques #antiqueitaly #madonnaandchild

16.01.2022 This Iberian 18th century pendant is made of 22 karat gold set with emeralds. We’re pretty certain it would have originally been one of a pair of earrings which has been cleverly adapted to a pendant (and oh so seamlessly). Iberian tends to refer to Iberia, an area now simply known as Spain and Portugal, and is a term used for antique jewels in regard to the style and manufacturing technique. For a piece of such age it is incredible to see the condition as wonderful as it is.... We took pictures of this chap and uploaded it to our website yesterday. As with most of our jewellery this pendant is accompanied with an independent appraisal for peace of mind. If you’ve any queries, by all means drop us a DM. Happy Friday! #iberianjewelry #iberianpeninsula #iberianjewellery #iberian #antiquejewelryaddiction #antiqueaddict #spanishantiques #portugueseantiques #antiquesofinstagram

14.01.2022 Many of you showed interest in our recently acquired 2.15 carat, old brilliant cut diamond ring when we posted it to our story earlier in the week. We’ve just taken images of it and uploaded it to our website with a pre appraisal price. This coming week we’ll be having it appraised, so make the most of this special listing over the next few days. A side note - it has a similar aesthetic and construction to Queen Elizabeth’s engagement ring, made from a disassembled tiara belonging to Prince Philip’s mother. If you’d like more details on our ring send us a DM, or visit its page through the jewellery tab of our website. #oldbrilliantcut #olddiamonds #antiquediamond #antiquejewelry #jeweladdict #jewellover #thequeensjewels #queenelizabeth #threestonering

13.01.2022 This silver basket is from Hanau in Germany and was made around the turn of last century. The silversmith Georg Roth was a clever chap, and managed to design his pieces, and his hallmarks to look much older than they actually were. He managed to make this basket and its hallmarks look 100 years older than it actually is... a good example of an early ‘reproduction’, a term in which we are all familiar with in the 21st century. Still this piece at 120 years of age would be a brilliant addition to a Christmas table! Feel free to DM with any queries. #hanausilver #germansilver #800silver #antiquesilver #germanantiques #germanantiquesilver #continentalantiques #silverbasket #silveraddict

11.01.2022 As we uploaded this new piece to the website this morning, we found ourselves thinking that a bracelet like this would not be out of place on the set of The Crown. We’re knee deep in the long awaited fourth series, and can just see a lady in waiting wearing a fox hunting bracelet just like this whilst out shooting at Balmoral! This particular piece is made from 14 karat yellow gold and is set with ruby eyes on the small fox heads. This whimsical bracelet is now live in the jewellery section of our website. #thecrownnetflix #foxhunting #foxhunt #huntingjewelry #huntingjewellery #foxjewelry #foxjewellery #antiqueaddict #antiquejewelry

10.01.2022 A malachite and ormolu desk set which looks as though it has come straight from the Hermitage, is now up on our website. This three piece set will also be featuring in our new catalogue, launching this week! #malachite #desksetup #deskaccessories #penmanship #luxurydeskaccessories #ormolu #giltbronze #malachitestone #malachitecabochon

09.01.2022 This Russian spoon was made using the plique-a-jour technique of applying enamels to metal work cells, similar to cloisonné, but with no backing, so that the light can shine through. This makes for a colourful and cheery stained glass effect that would brighten any morning cup of tea. Details are on our website or you can DM us any questions you have. #antiquespoon #pliqueajour #pliqueajourenamel #pliqueajourspoon #russianantiques #artnouveau #artnouveauantiques #enamelspoon

08.01.2022 We’re having a treat for afternoon tea on this fabulous 1870s ‘trompe l’oeil’ plate. Trompe l’oeil means ‘trick of the eye’ and refers to the delicately represented handkerchief modelled in relief on a blue basket weave ground. It was made in England and is such a lovely piece for a wall, dresser or to use! The plate measures 23cm in diameter and at $295 is a great Christmas gift also! #trompeloeil #trompeloeilplate #trompeloeilpainting #afternoontea #victorianengland #victorianceramics #handkerchief #victorianplate #antiqueaddict

04.01.2022 This strand of carved melon shape amethysts have a wonderful Mogul type quality to them. You can just imagine these formerly being in the collection of a wonderful maharaja. Perfect as is, or if you were me you might re string with the addition of big south sea pearls! Our pearl merchant who we work with almost daily would have exactly the right size! Not yet listed on our website, DM us for further details on this special strand. #melonshapebeads #moguljewels #mogulgemsandjewels #indianjewellery #indianjewels #amethyst #carvedamethyst #carvedstones #jeweladdict
