Navajo Walrus Ivory and Turquoise Concho Belt
Located in Coeur d Alene, ID
Carved ivory bighorns with Blue Kingman Mine turquoise. Wonderful patina. Original leather; nine conchos total. Signed A.J.M. PERIOD: After 1950 ORIGIN: Navajo, Southwest SIZE: Total belt length 56"; buckle 3 1/2" x 5"; conchos 3" x 4" The word “concho” sometimes spelled “concha”, comes from the Spanish word meaning shell. Some of the first “conchos” were made of melted silver dollars and resembled a shell. Concho belts reportedly began appearing in Navajo country in the late 1860s. Other Native Americans including Zuni and Hopi also made traditional concho belts before long. Concho belts can cost into the thousands of dollars depending upon the craftsmanship, amount of silver, rarity of turquoise and stones used. Belts in the upper end of the price scales are usually made before the turn of the century. Buyers should deal with reputable dealers as many fakes and look-a-likes exist. A well-made belt with age to it will fetch a bigger premium and hold its value better. The earliest concho belts are now referred to as “First Phase” belts. This style of belt was made before Native silversmith had learned much about soldering. The conchos were hammered out from melted coins, cut, and filed into shape, engraved and a diamond shape slot was cut out of the middle of the concho, with a bar left across the center of the diamond shaped slot for the leather loop. Conchos that required no soldering are generally thought to be made from 1860-1880. Second phase conchos were done 1890-1900s in which silversmith began to solder. Third phase conchos is when you start to see the “butterfly” or “bow” appear between conchos and the use of turquoise as an adornment. A butterfly (bow) is a smaller concho in between bigger conchos. A belt with butterflies...

"Barcaccia" Fountain Herend Porcelain Centerpiece Exclusive for SERRA
By Herend
Located in Roma, IT
This reproduction of Bernini's Barcaccia, located near the Spanish steps in Rome, was made by Herend exclusively for the Serra shop, using a sterling silver model that Serra had created (with the help of the artist Foscolo Benedetti), and had then supplied to Herend. The director of the prestigious Hungarian manufacture, a great lover of Italian history and art, was so enthusiastic about the model that he proposed making it an elegant and unique centerpiece, exclusive for Serra, which can be decorated with all the famous Herend decorations. Here we see the "Victoria" decoration, made at the end of the 19th century for Queen Victoria, and still used by the English royal house. Pope Urban VIII commissioned Pietro Bernini in 1623 to build the fountain as part of a prior Papal project to erect a fountain in every major piazza in Rome. The fountain was completed between 1627 and 1629 by Pietro possibly along with the help of his son Gian Lorenzo Bernini, especially after his father's death on August 29, 1629. The sculptural fountain is made into the shape of a half-sunken ship...
