18th Century, American 'Coin Silver' Coffee Pot Attributed to Nathaniel Helme
Located in Brisbane City, QLD
This rather elegant coffee pot was likely made in the United States during the second half of the 18th Century. Prior to restoration work in 2022 the underside of the pot had remnants of a hallmark 'NH', allowing us to attribute the piece to early American silversmith Nathaniel Helme who was working in South Kingston, Rhode Island between 1761 and 1789. The piece stands on a square footing and has a timber handle...

Gilded Age Desk Accessory
Located in Southbury, CT
A desk accessory from America's gilded age featuring —naturally— gilded bronze, a kingfisher, a snail, a conch shell, and a handy candle holder.
If you're like me —and I sincerely hope you're not— you have been stark raving obsessed with America's gilded age since you were seven or eight. You've read every biography ever written about the Vanderbilt family, Edith Wharton is your favorite author, and you feel in your heart that The Breakers mansion in Newport Rhode Island should be decommissioned as a museum and you should be allowed to live in it.
The Breakers is the most impressive of the Newport "summer cottages." It was built in the early 1890s by Cornelius Vanderbilt II, the grandson of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, who built the original Vanderbilt fortune. Breakers is a seventy-room cottage of nearly 170,000 square feet. Its bathrooms had hot and cold running seawater and the cottage featured wall-to-wall opulence throughout.
Google "Breakers Mansion" right this moment and visit the Wikipedia page. Toward the bottom of the page on the right is a photograph of the library. Click on that image to make it full-sized. Wouldn't this desk accessory look perfect on the little table in front of the green silk sofa...
