Buddy Lee Mossman Choctaw 14k gold, sterling silver lapis, fossilized coral pin. Solid 14k gold feather and center accent bead, solid sterling silver tested and guaranteed with weight and measurements in the pictures. No issues, Circa last quarter of the 20th century. 37 grams Buddy Lee Mossman, a Santa Fean and one of the most unique artists of the Southwest, was born in Missouri, and, he claimed, of Choctaw descent. His creative forces began to emerge in the 1980s at which time he began teaching himself the art of silversmithing. Buddy drew from the works of three late great artists: renowned Chiricahua Apache sculptor, Allan Houser (Haozous), Master Hopi Silversmith. Charles Loloma and Spanish Great, Pablo Picasso. While his pieces mirror the Sacredness of Houser, the Decorativeness of Loloma and the Surrealism of Picasso, Mossman was an artist in his own right. Buddy considered his Jewelry sculptures. The smallest simplest ring to the biggest ornamental Kachina Bolo was sacred.

Franz Bergman was an Austrian entrepreneur best known for his Viennese foundry which produced many patina- and cold-painted bronze sculptures of figures, animals, Orientalist scenes, and mythological creatures. Bergman is often misidentified as a sculptor, but he himself was not the original artist for the works—rather, he hired many anonymous sculptors to execute his ideas. He signed many of the works produced by his foundry with the pseudonym Nam Greb, so as to conceal his name from the authorities and avoid penalties for immorality. Born in 1861 in Vienna, Austria, he initially inherited a bronze factory from his father and later opened his own foundry. Bergman died in 1936 in Vienna, Austria

c1750's Battersea box Frog and Deer. Two English 18th century boxes one in the form of a frog, the other a deer. I can't be 100% sure it was made at the Battersea factory, it could be a Bilston box from 20-30 years later. It's 18th century and guaranteed so, both rare boxes. The frog is 1.5" tall x 1.5" wide with some crazing inside and out mainly on the base and bottom of the frog, one chip to the enamel shown in last two pics. The deer 2.25" wide x 1 3/8" tall crazing on top interior and inside and outside of bottom, , small restoration just below the figure on the base and on opposing side of interior. Selling both boxes, if you are interested in only one please have an offer in mind. Battersea boxes developed in the mid 18th century as tiny decorative containers covered with enamel or porcelain and decorated with pleasing designs. Originally the boxes were made of copper covered with white enamel, decorated with classical or scenes or portraits. They evolved over time to become more sentimental. The Battersea box got its name from a firm under the tutelage of Sir Stephen Theodore Janssen, Once Lord Mayor of London at York House in Battersea. The boxes were decorated by transfer printing, which took an impression from an engraved plate painted with enamel and printed on to the box which was then hand painted and fired. The firm existed only from 1753 to 1756 however other firms producing similar boxes, especially those in the village of Bilston, took up this technique. Battersea became the collective name for all such boxes. With advancements in the pottery industry due to the Industrial Revolution, Battersea boxes gradually fell from favour. Allowing small boxes to be produced at less cost than the enameled competitors made Battersea boxes decline significantly by the mid 19th century. They became popular again in the second half of the 20th century with the development of commemorative boxes produced for such well known firms as Tiffany & Co. tw239

c1800 Hand Forged colonial betty lamp. Great lamp from the 18th to first half of 19th century, functional with no damage. 10.5" tall with hook extended, 4.75" x 4 1/8" wide. Nice no brainer patina. This early betty lamp burned grease for lighting in the 19th century. It is called a 'betty lamp' which comes from the word 'besser' in German (meaning better). Far superior to the rushlight or splint lamp, it evolved from the crusie lamp with the addition of a cover and a wick support which ensured that any oil/grease drippings from the wick flowed back into the reservoir. The betty lamp was probably the most widely used means of lighting among people of middle or lower income until refined whale oil became common. It burned any fat or oil that was available virtually without smell or smoke, using a twisted cotton wick. B70

C1820 Draisine Early Bicycle Battersea Box from Eleanor Roosevelt Estate. 2.25"<br>x 2 1/8" x 1" with some damage to the enamel on the base as shown, the top is<br>perfect. This is an extremely rare box and a rare early portrayal of one of the<br>first bicycles.<br><br>Battersea boxes developed in the mid 18th century as tiny decorative containers<br>covered with enamel or porcelain and decorated with pleasing designs. Originally<br>the boxes were made of copper covered with white enamel, decorated with<br>classical or scenes or portraits. They evolved over time to become more<br>sentimental.<br>The Battersea box got its name from a firm under the tutelage of Sir Stephen<br>Theodore Janssen, Once Lord Mayor of London at York House in Battersea. The<br>boxes were decorated by transfer printing, which took an impression from an<br>engraved plate painted with enamel and printed on to the box which was then hand<br>painted and fired. The firm existed only from 1753 to 1756 however other firms<br>producing similar boxes, especially those in the village of Bilston, took up<br>this technique. Battersea became the collective name for all such boxes.<br>With advancements in the pottery industry due to the Industrial Revolution,<br>Battersea boxes gradually fell from favour. Allowing small boxes to be produced<br>at less cost than the enameled competitors made Battersea boxes decline<br>significantly by the mid 19th century. They became popular again in the second<br>half of the 20th century with the development of commemorative boxes produced<br>for such well known firms as Tiffany & Co.
