18" Konstantino 18k gold and sterling station necklace 18" long 21.5 grams, clean with no issues. Center parts are 18k gold on one side and 18k gold on toggle.Konstantino was born in Filiadona, a small village located in the heart of Greece, where the Ancient city of Melitea once stood. There, he watched his father closely as he worked on the farm, building machines and tools of his own, developing a great appreciation for the art of hand craftsmanship, history and archaeology. As a young boy, Konstantino would uncover broken ancient ceramics, coins and marbles in the fields, sparking a profound connection to his heritage.1978: A musical influence Following his love for music, Konstantino became a disc jockey in the city of Athens, collecting everything from jazz, blues and rock ‘n roll, to folk music from around the globe. Musical legends and artists inspired a stylistic fluidity that introduced an essence of glam rock to the scene. Konstantino began curating his own aesthetic identity as a creative mind, artist and style icon. Influencing what would become the rule breaking spirit that drives the design team at Konstantino to this day.1983: Jewelry saved my life Konstantino fled the music scene of Athens in search of an oasis, he took a weekend trip to the island of Hydra where he ended up living for the next 15 years. It was on this magical island that he fell in love with jewelry, collecting and curating collections of his own, whereby in 1988 the first Konstantino store opened.1991: Annette Hydra is not only the birthplace of Konstantino’s love for Jewelry but is also where Konstantino met his soon to be wife and creative partner, Annette. Together, from the ground up, Konstantino Jewelry soon established its presence in the United States and global market.1998: Global Impact As the admiration and desire for the Konstantino brand spread, the dream continued to grow, where now our designs can be found in many countries globally. With the addition of a longstanding presence in stores across the United States, Konstantino is honored to represent an evolution of the Grecian style, to the world of fine jewelry lovers.2016: A Family Future Konstantino and Annette’s children, Julian and Phaedra joined the team, further continuing the legacy of passion and risk for the craft of gold smithery and design. This new generation leads with knowledge, humility and a natural instinct for the dynamic of the Konstantino brand. Preserving the brand’s core philosophies and expanding on its already established style, is a challenge that’s been taken on with confidence.

1800's Texas Lawman Antique Handcuffs Wild West Texas Ranger, Native American.<br>Selling the 4 pairs shown dating from the Civil war era to about 1900.

Incapacitated by an unfortunate accident<br>at the factory in 1802, he was unable to engage in the day to day business. On<br>his death in 1829 the executors administered a long standing agreement which saw<br>William Taylor Copeland running the London retail business as well as holding<br>one quarter share in the factory. At the termination of the agreement on March<br>1, 1833, Copeland purchased the remaining shares in the factory and the London<br>business. Being greatly involved in in politics, in developing art school<br>education, and living the life of a well to do London gentleman, Copeland<br>engaged one of his senior London employees as a partner and Thomas Garrett took<br>responsibility for overseeing the smooth running of the Stoke factory.<br><br>The factory grew in size during this partnership and the production of<br>porcelain, earthenware, and stoneware continued. New shapes were added and<br>patterns and designs were influenced by the rococo revival that dominated<br>fashions in the 1830s. Copeland & Garrett's bone china and felspar porcelain<br>attracted the attention of highest echelons of society, and after her Majesty<br>Queen Victoria's accession to the throne in 1837, she acquired wares for both<br>Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. Despite the prominence of their porcelain<br>productions they continued to make earthenware in even larger quantities with<br>markets at home and abroad. Among their finest productions are the printed<br>patterns some of which were traditional designs from Spode's time and other<br>newer patterns introduced for the contemporary market.<br><br>After 14 years, in 1847, the partnership was dissolved and Garrett returned to<br>London while Copeland continued to run the business.<br>tw221

Arnoux decided to<br>reintroduce the work of Bernard Palissy, whose naturalistic, bright colored<br>"maiolica" wares had been popular in the 16th century. However, Arnoux used a<br>thicker body to make pieces more sturdy. This body was given a coating of opaque<br>white glaze which provided a surface for over painting in brightly colored<br>opaque glazes. Later, transparent glazes were used over relief molding. This new<br>Minton majolica was promoted, in London, at the Great Exhibition of 1851.

No damage, dents or<br>bends. Nice strong hinge on handle.<br><br>Charles Tiffany was born February 15, 1812 in Killingly, Connecticut. About 25<br>years later, in 1837, Charles Tiffany and John Young, and later in 1841, they<br>added J.L.. Ellis as a partner, began Tiffany, Young and Ellis in Lower<br>Manhattan. That company at the time was founded at first to sell fancy goods and<br>stationery. Tiffany bought his parents shares of the company in 1853 and changed<br>the focus of the company to sell upscale jewelry and merchandise. Once Tiffany<br>bought his parent’s shares, the company was renamed to Tiffany & Co. In 1867,<br>Tiffany & Co. was the first United States based company to win an award for<br>excellence in silverware at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1868, the<br>company became incorporated, had four stores and was on the right path to<br>continue to grow to the company that it is today.<br><br>A Humble Start<br>When Young and Tiffany began their business, they originally started off with<br>offering items such as stationery and merchandise before moving on to offering<br>jewelry and silverware. The business continued to grow and manufacture jewelry,<br>and later opened a location in Paris. His stores adopted the standards of<br>European jewelry and therefore, sterling became established in the United States<br>and the American jewelry market.<br><br>Tiffany was determined to obtain one-of-a-kind jewelry. It was that desire which<br>helped fuel how much his products were sought out, specifically among the upper<br>classes of New York. The jewelry created by the company became partially well<br>known because of the wealthy people who desired its products. In the 1830’s,<br>Tiffany made it’s mark in the jewelry world at the time because they clearly<br>marked the prices on their goods. This eliminated the chance that customers<br>would haggle and try to negotiate the prices of the goods that they were<br>purchasing at the time. Additionally, Tiffany’s was unique at the time because<br>they only accepted cash payments and didn’t allow their goods to be purchased on<br>credit.<br><br>With the Civil War threatening jewelry purchasing at the time, Tiffany adjusted<br>the focus of his company and ended up manufacturing swords, medals, light armor<br>and many other items that were needed for war. In 1877, Tiffany & Co. had become<br>such an established name that it easily influenced the industry and was able to<br>make outlandish purchases. This when the now called “Tiffany diamond” (a yellow<br>South African diamond) was purchased for $18,000 at 287 carats. The diamond was<br>cut down to 128.54 carats over nearly a year and was eventually put on display<br>in the Smithsonian. Today, Tiffany & Co. is an American worldwide luxury jeweler<br>and specialty retailer, headquartered in New York City.<br><br>Understanding the Markings<br>While Tiffany & Co. is famous for the “Tiffany diamond” they are even more<br>famous for their use of sterling silver. When looking at actually sterling<br>silver that is made by Tiffany’s there are several markings that can help you<br>figure out the origin and if a piece is indeed made by Tiffany’s or fake. At the<br>start, there were several silversmiths who supplied silver flatware and<br>holloware to Tiffany’s. Each of those silversmiths marked the pieces with their<br>own marks in addition to marking them with Tiffany’s marks. Some of the makes of<br>Tiffany’s sterling silver include William Gale, Gale & Hughes, Wood & Hughes,<br>John Polhemus, Henry Hebbard, William Bogert, Grosjean & Woodward, Moore &<br>Hebbard and John C. Moore.<br><br>In 1868, Moore silversmithing firm was absorbed into Tiffany & Co. and Tiffany’s<br>then began the production of its own silver. It was at that time that the silver<br>was to be marked with the initial of the Artistic Director or the initial of the<br>President of the firm but that was continued until the mid-1960’s. Each design<br>on the silver that Tiffany’s creates represents the long and proud heritage that<br>comes with the company’s history.<br>b70

The Book of Days A Miscellany of Popular Antiquities Edited by R. Chambers 1863<br>- London - W. and R. Chambers 10.5" by 7.5";832pp.; 840pp. DETAILS A first<br>edition of this interesting pair of books covering a variety of topics, from the<br>pasage of time, to English folklore legends, to railway information, all related<br>to a certain month of the year. The Chambers Book of Days ( The Book of Days: A<br>Miscellany of Popular Antiquities in Connection with the Calendar, Including<br>Anecdote, Biography, & History, Curiosities of Literature and Oddities of Human<br>Life and Character ) was written by the Scottish author Robert Chambers. It was<br>a miscellany of popular antiquities in connection with the calendar, and it is<br>supposed that his excessive labour in connexion with this book hastened his<br>death. Two years before, the University of St Andrews had conferred upon him the<br>degree of doctor of laws, and he was elected a member of the Athenaeum Club in<br>London. It is his highest claim to distinction that he did so much to give a<br>healthy tone to the cheap popular literature which has become so important a<br>factor in modern civilization. With illustrated title pages and numerous<br>engravings. Complete in two volumes. CONDITION In half-calf prize bindings with<br>marbled boards. Externally sound, with some wear to the boards and spine as<br>shown. Some foxing on the first few pages front and back of each edition, strong<br>binding, clean overall with no missing pages or water damage. 160 year old<br>books.

Looks to have been broken and professionally restored, but that was long ago, only visible under closed examination. I guarantee it to be of period, not totally sure whether it's American or British as I have seen similar examples from both countries. tw260

1880's French A Klingenberg Limoges Demitasse cup and saucer set (7). Selling the 7 Eggshell porcelain demitasse (espresso) cup and saucers shown, they each look to have an ornate P monogram on the saucer incorporated into the pattern, really an amazing set all hand painted with absolutely no damage. No cracks, chips, restorations, or significant wear to gilding, they all ring like a bell. Selling all 7 with 4.5" wide saucers, small cups not tea cups, these are cabinet sized or for strong espresso coffee.A. Klingenberg was an accomplished Limoges artisan painter when he opened his own porcelain factory and decorating studio in the Limoges region of France in the early 1880's. There does not seem to be a surfeit of information about Klingenberg or his company other than that he merged with Charles Dwenger's studio sometime in the late 1890's or very early 1900's. Klingenberg & Dwenger together manufactured porcelain products, produced decorated finished porcelain pieces, and exported them world-wide until 1910 when the company closed its doors. While there may be a paucity of detail about A. Klingenberg and his company, there are numerous astonishingly lovely works of art that this short-lived company left behind.

1880's New England peachblow vase 3.75" tall x 2.5" wide with no damage or<br>issues.<br><br>The Glass of New England 1818-1888<br>The glass industry was attracted to New England for many of the same reasons it<br>was attracted to other locations throughout history; access to natural fuel<br>resources, availability to world marketplaces, and a ready work force. Of the<br>many glass houses in New England in the early to mid-1800s, two of the best<br>known were The New England Glass Company and The Boston and Sandwich Glass<br>Company. The New England Glass Company was located in the Cambridge area of<br>Boston. The use of the term "Cambridge Glass" in literature has led to some<br>confusion with the somewhat later Cambridge Glass Company of Cambridge, Ohio.<br>The New England Glass Company was incorporated in 1818. Deming Jarvis, the only<br>one of the four owners with practical business experience, was to run the shop.<br>Mr. Jarvis, born in Boston into a wealthy family, had working experience in the<br>dry goods business before joining the NEGC. He had a unique talent for selecting<br>the right men and getting them to come to work for him, including some of<br>Europe's most skillful cutters. Deming's father died in 1823, leaving him with<br>considerable wealth and he spent some time in Pittsburgh<br>studying the local methods of glass making.<br>isshelf
