French, Cigar Shaped Onyx Desk Seal with Diamond Collar & Morocco Leather Case
Located in Brisbane City, QLD
This exquisite desk object was crafted in France during the early 20th Century and would have been an impressive object to own. The desk seal is crafted from a cigar shaped piece of black onyx which features a diamond set collar to one end and a monogram intaglio 'seal' to the other, all circa 1915. The monogram is 'AMF' which has been beautifully engraved into the underside of the seal. The piece retains its original Morocco leather fitted box signed 'Appay', a French manufacturer, and embossed 'AMF' to the top of the lid. The firm Appay were retailing at 24 Rue De La Paix in Paris which is close-by the Place Vendome and also the Opera, however little information is known about the business.

18th Century, American 'Coin Silver' Coffee Pot Attributed to Nathaniel Helme
Located in Brisbane City, QLD
This rather elegant coffee pot was likely made in the United States during the second half of the 18th Century.

Gilded Age Desk Accessory
Located in Northampton, MA
A desk accessory from America's gilded age featuring —naturally— gilded bronze, a kingfisher, a snail, a conch shell, and a handy candle holder. If you're like me —and I sincerely hope you're not— you have been stark raving obsessed with America's gilded age since you were seven or eight. You've read every biography ever written about the Vanderbilt family, Edith Wharton is your favorite author, and you feel in your heart that The Breakers mansion in Newport Rhode Island should be decommissioned as a museum and you should be allowed to live in it. The Breakers is the most impressive of the Newport "summer cottages." It was built in the early 1890s by Cornelius Vanderbilt II, the grandson of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, who built the original Vanderbilt fortune. Breakers is a seventy-room cottage of nearly 170,000 square feet. Its bathrooms had hot and cold running seawater and the cottage featured wall-to-wall opulence throughout. Google "Breakers Mansion" right this moment and visit the Wikipedia page. Toward the bottom of the page on the right is a photograph of the library. Click on that image to make it full-sized. Wouldn't this desk accessory look perfect on the little table in front of the green silk sofa...
