Albert Scharning Scandinavian enamel heart and ribbon Brooch


 

Just in! 
Designed by Albert Scharning in 1950. This is lovely jeep red heart brooch is offset with a gold Vermeil ribbon.
Fully hallmarked on the back A. Sch. Norway sterling 925S. I have also seen this pin referred to as an Anthurium flower.
Doing research on this type of brooch, I found that Mr. Scharning finished his heart brooches with a C-clasp closure. In looking at the back of this particular brooch, I see that someone had taken it to a jeweler to have the type of clasp changed. This is a very delicate operation to do on enamel jewelry, but they succeeded. The replacement clasp is a much more secure option.

1850s Victorian photo locket pendant with double daguerreotypes of handsome married couple







I just love the heartwarming sentimentality of this item. For the last 160 years the images of this couple have stared into and reflected each other. From the locket itself and the clothes they wear, they are obviously a well to do couple, I believe her daguerreotype is touched up with just the tiniest hint of gold on the earrings.
The locket is rolled gold and in very good condition, with some slight wear. The images are likewise in very good condition.

1920s Dressel Kister German Half Doll Boudoir Lamp






Standing approximately 11 inches tall, this lovely German half doll boudoir lamp is a woman in the style of Marie Antoinette or Madame Pompadour. To me, it’s amazing that this item that is approximately 100 years old and is in such terrific condition. It needs to be rewired, but anything you buy at this age should be re-wired. Her clothing is in pretty good shape as you can see in the photos. She even has her original light bulbs still in place and the curly cue filament is still in one piece. The bulb is rather grimy. I bought this item out of a local estate and I hesitate to even clean the bulb as the person who will restore this will most likely want it untouched.
