Silver Besamim Spice Box for Havdalah
About the Item
This beautifully decorated besamim, a decorative spice box used in the weekly Jewish ceremony of Havdalah, marking the conclusion of Shabbat (the Sabbath) - is a fine piece of antique Judaica which has been delicately crafted from solid silver. It dates from 19th century Turkey, during the period of Ottoman rule in the country, and depicts a large silver leaf, intricately engraved and cast to give it a naturalistic feel with branches emerging from it. The spice containers take the form of silver pinecones, and are set on top of the branches. These containers have been decorated on their exteriors with a beautiful, textured pattern, and they are surmounted by finials. There are a number of silver hallmarks stamped onto the rims of the spice containers, and a further mark on the silver branch.

Fabergé Style Bejewelled and Enamelled Gold Egg by Asprey
By Garrard & Co. Ltd., Asprey International Limited
Located in London, GB
This exceptional, 18 carat gold Easter egg was crafted by the famous London-based royal jewellers, Asprey & Co. The piece was then retailed by Garrard & Co, who once worked in collaboration with Asprey, producing luxury jewellery and silver for an elite clientele.

The gold is arranged to form the image of a peacock, with a magnificent fanned train, composed of red, dark blue and green coloured plique-à-jour enamel. The light blue body of the peacock, and its long swirling light and dark blue tail feathers, have been crafted from intricate guilloché enamel, which is often found on Fabergé style eggs...
