Legend has it that dragons are a symbol of beauty and power ( as are women) and these facing winged dragons or griffins are quite a fascinating example of that symbolism!Beautiful aren't they?

SIGNED enamel jewel Cleopatra figural HUGE necklace boucher

This 22kt gold plate ( triple plated) jeweled Egyptian necklace has enamel that goes all the way up the neckchain and is well made with pave pearls and rhinestones that it will certainly cause jaws to drop and envy to rear its ugly head. That is when YOU wear it ha! The body of the bird is raised and if you look close you will see a lot of TINY seed pearls, rhinestones and coral color glass beads ( not orange as the photos appear) embedded into it. You hold this piece in your hands and you can feel the quality. And the reason it is such a great piece is because it is signed D'orlan which uses Marcel Boucher molds acquired from his wife after his death. They continued the wonderful work and minute detailing of his work and are still producing costume jewelry of high quality and workmanship today. This piece has the earmarks of the boucher pieces because in many of the older ones you saw a lot of pave stones and tiny beads to form the colors. The center piece of this magnificent necklace is a whopping 3 1/2 wide and is signed on the back ( as well as the tag that hangs from the necklace). The neck chain is 20" long ( add 2" for the pendnat that connects it) and it too has enamel and glass jewels. Cleopatra would be proud to own this beauty and I know you will too!

Antique BLACK Snake MOURNING slide bracelet

Mourning jewelry which is highly collectible is something that just lets you feel how important the piece is in the first place. To think that this was worn in memory of a loved one brings some of the kindest most heart felt karma you could ask for.

He has red eyes that sparkle when the light hits it and he has an open mouth as if to dare anyone to take this bracelet off your wrist. He has a total of three wraps ( see photo) and will fit most any wrist because of this. The glass is as dark as the blackest coal and has a few pieces with wear including his tail which has a flea bit on it ( or possibly a predator tried to take this bracelet and he was defending its owner? A rare piece that generally sells at shows for twice this amount so don't miss out at the last minute. Sold as an irreplaceable antique.

Fully Hallmarked SIgned M Rieg renaissance hand wrought brooch

What a treasure this  fully hallmarked Max Regi brooch is!! Max Reig was a Master silversmith at Colonial Williamsburg during the first half of the 20th Century.  He was commissioned and made a pair of 18th century style chandeliers hanging in the St. Bede Catholic Church.   He taught classes in metalwork in Virginia and had a jewelry store in the Post Office building in Williamsburg    In October 1937, the first shops opened. Boone Forge of North Carolina ran a blacksmith shop at the Deane Forge. Kittinger Furniture of Richmond, Virginia, presented a cabinet shop at the Ascough House. Max Reig made and sold pewter and jewelry at the Margaret Hunter Shop during that period. This renaissance heavy gilt brooch is hand forged and has all the hallmarks as well as his  signature. IT has a most unusual mythical creature on one side with a crown on its head ( I think it is a lion of some sort) and a unicorn on the other side. Between them is a key hole with a fleur de lis on the top and bottom. This is a hand crafted heavy well made brooch that is 2 ½“ tall and in excellent condition. Lovely whimsical piece that would be an asset to any collection!.

Vintage Grand TOUR Egyptian HEAD HUGE bracelet

What an AMAZINGLY HUGE vintage Deco bracelet with a raised relief head and tiny bezel set turquoise that surround it! This is really wide ( 2 1/2") with hand wrought fancy gilt chains that are done similar to chain mail. During the late Victorian times and into the Deco period there was a Grand tour where people of high society would travel all over the world and bring back objects that represented those places and I believe this to be one of them. This is not a machine made piece and when you see this type of metal work you know that it is vintage and hand done. This is a remarkable piece of history and I hope it gets a very good home. Other then the gilt being a little lighter in some places, this is in very good vintage condition. Vintage and antique items are not mint nor are they perfect. Sold as is and as found (used and vintage) Since this is Irreplaceable there can be no returns on this sale.. Please use photos to make your decisions.

Large French Victorian oil Girl portrait Painting

This large lovely portrait was in a really old wooden frame that was crushed in a move so we saved her from it when we got unpacked. I have never tried to reframe her and want to find her a proper home. This has its original matting too. The matting size is 19 1/2" tall and the painting is 19" tall. ( see photo of the back with the matting next to it)  I tried to show a photo of the light hitting it so you can see there there are layers of paint. I am not a specialist in paintings so please ask me any questions you might have and I will be glad to help. I don't think it is a water color because of the shine where some of the layeres of paint or so my guess would be oil. If there is another type of paint then I am not versed in what it could be. On the back it is written Moore and 441 one. NOt sure what that means. She looks very young and has long drop earrings as well as pearl sash brooch. Very pretty and elegant looking. The matting was on the portrait so long that it has lightened the part where it laid against the portrait. The colors are soft and subtle. Maybe she looks like an ancestor of yours? Vintage and antique items are not mint  nor are they perfect. Sold as is and as  found (used and vintage) Since this is Irreplaceable there can be no returns on this sale..

Rare Vintage Risque Moulin Rouge style Reverse painted Necklace earrings

I have never seen a risqué reverse painted set like this which leads me to believe that is it was probably not reproduced in much quality. SO this is a rare treat to offer such an unusual daring set with different hand painted women doing the can-can (more correctly not hyphenated, as in the original French: cancan). Usually performed by a chorus line of female dancers who wear costumes with long skirts, petticoats, and black stockings, that hearkens back to the fashions of the 1890s, the main features of the dance was the lifting up and manipulation of the skirts, with high kicking and suggestive, provocative body movements.. Sometimes called the scandalous dance, it sometimes caused people dancing the cancan to be arrested . Many of these tantalizing women were known for their appearances at the Moulin Rouge. To see this glorified in vintage jewelry is such an exciting thing because when the Moulin Rouge brought forth the can-can, it caused the artists like French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec to produce several paintings and a large number of posters of cancan dancers. Like miniature pieces of art ( since these are hand painted) you are able to wear a piece of history that jewelry became an important part of.. This huge ( 4” long) pendant hangs from hand faceted jet glass beads that measure 22” long. The pendant has pale blue glass rhinestones that bring out the colors in the delightful clothing on these women. Hanging from the large pendant is an enamel bow shaped adornment and a swinging chandelier drop. The earrings are 1 ¾” long and are clip on . I have this shown next to a dime to show you how extravagant this is! This is in very good vintage condition. The clasp seems to have the most wear ( probably from being worn so much). Don’t miss out on this beauty at the last minute because I am sure it will go fast! And now for the tedious part that you probably already know: We offer Layaway on all our pieces regardless of which site it comes from.

Mucha, a well known art nouveau artist who was known for these figures, with many depicting the moon and the stars and exotic nymphs caused a wonderful trend in the design of nouveau jewelry.

The sensuality of the female form was used in so many art nouveau jewelry pieces which we admire so much that when we saw this fabulous remake of that design we just had to have it. The sheer size of these faceted glass beads of golden yellow and jet black shows off this rhinestone and enamel huge solid pendant. Tiny faux pearls that shape this fan pendant are accented with rhinestones and black tear drop faceted glass stones. Larger faux pearl cabs complete the design. Add to that this extremely large golden faceted prism drop and you have one jaw dropping necklace! The largest glass bead on the neck chain is almost 1"and the center piece of this with the art nouveau style face pendant is a whopping 2 1/2" across and 4" long ( includes the faceted drop). The length of this necklace ( excluding the drop) is 22". This is in excellent condition and is quite amazing! This was purchased at an art show so I am not sure of its designer.

Vintage Carousel Horse Fob Charm PEndant

For all carousel collectors, this is the most delightful fob and or pendant that I have seen with a carousel house on its pole.IT is a mixed metal measures 1 1/2" long. The brass ribonned pole has nice old patina which makes me think this is fairly old. Take a peek at the photos and see what I mean. The horse is dimensional and no matter which sire you  look at, you see a real miniature of the horse and pole. All children have wonderful memories of these beautiful creatures that rode us thru our childhood. What a great way to memorialize them than by wearing them on your neck or a watch chain! HE is in excellent condition.And now for the tedious part that you probably already know: PLease remember that vintage & antique items are not mint, nor are they perfect but they sure are full of old history and charm.All items are sold as is and as  found (used and probably vintage) Since this is Irreplaceable there can be no returns on this sale..
