| Victorian Chinese carved ivory buckle Deeply detailed carved ivory belt or sash buckle with roses, daisies, lillies, tulips and exotic fruits. Work of this kind was often carried out in India or the Middle East to western designs, however by the style we believe this to be Chinese.
Original brass fitting, however the long claws of the buckle have been removed, probably so as to be able to use it with materials that would otherwise tear. The remaining folded clip holds most fabrics securly enough.
Circa 1870, very good condition, as noted above. No damage to the Ivory carving. 8.5cm long.

| Risqué Rococo enamel box Museum quailty bronze gilt box decorated with an elegant, rather risque lady dressed in the height of fashion with roses in her hair. The enamel work is very fine, using stippling and wash to create this highly detailed portrait, whose colours remain clear and bright.
The base is decorated with the goddess Hera ready to cut the grain with her sycle, and Chronos, father time, reminding us that life is short.
The box is decorated with hand engraved swirling foliage and still snaps shut tight after so many years. There is no signature or makers mark, however we beleive this to be German. Originally it could have been used as a Bonbonniere, keepsake box or as a vinaigrette - however the original lining or fittings are long gone. We are currently preparing a removable silk lining for this box.
Circa 1770, very good condition, with minor damage to the edge of the enamel and some wear and patches of gilt loss to the base.
