A George III carved pine chimneypiece from The Marine Society by Tousey, 1775
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
This pine chimneypiece has a swan-neck pediment supporting three pedestals, with dentil and leaf borders. There is a central limewood oval portrait of Robert Marsham, 2nd Baron Romney carved in relief and suspended by acanthus and tied ribbons. The frieze below is also applied with limewood carving of naval trophies, emblematic of seamanship and learning, flanking a central tablet depicting a reclining Marine Society boy. The supports are composed of large fluted columns with Ionic capitals and edged with egg and dart borders and leaf-carved mouldings. English, 1775.
Provenance: Supplied by Mr. Tousey for the Committee Room of the Marine Society at
No. 54 Bishopsgate Street, London, in April 1775 at a cost of £30.15s 6d
removed to Clark’s Place, Bishopsgate Street, London, in 1891
Published: Woodman, Richard “…..of daring temper 250 years of the Marine Society.” London 2006, pp 24-25.
Bosanquet, Henry T. A., The Marine Society, A Catalogue of the Pictures and other Works of Art, 1905, p. 14.
The Marine Society is the world’s oldest public maritime charity and was the brainchild of Jonas Hanway. In 1756, at the beginning of the Seven Years’ War, he reflected on Britain’s woefully undermanned and ill-equipped navy. His idea was to ensure that young men and boys who wished to ‘learn the duty of seaman…shall be handsomely clothed and provided with bedding, and their charges born down to the ports where His Majesty’s Ships lye with all other proper encouragement.’ During the ensuing hostilities the Society equipped 5,140 men and 4,787 boys for the Navy. In 1793 Admiral Lord Nelson, a governor of the Society, requested 20 lads to join his 64-gun ship Agamemnon at Chatham. By the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, at least 15% of British naval manpower was being supplied, trained and equipped by the Marine Society. By 1774, the Society had outgrown its offices in the Royal Exchange and moved to 54 Bishopsgate Street. Detailed minutes of the weekly Committee meetings describe the furnishing of the Society’s new Committee Room, including ‘a carved chimneypiece...

Spanish Colonial 1785 Dangle Earrings 17kt Gold Silver with Diamonds and Emerald
Located in Miami, FL
Spanish Colonial antique dangle Iberian earrings.
Exceptionally rare antique pair created in Spain during the Spanish Colonial period, circa 1785. We are sure these dangle drop earrings were made in the Spanish Colombia and most probably in the city of Cartagena de Indias, back in the late 18th century. They was carefully crafted in solid yellow gold of 17 karats and parts in silver. These earrings are convertible for day and night, since the drop parts can be detached to wear the upper parts alone. The chandelier earrings have several moving links and are of a long length, which makes them rare and give them a very stunning look when worn. They are fitted with reverse lever wires and embellished with a nice selection of natural diamonds and emeralds, from Colombia.
It should be noted that the diamonds and emeralds mount in this rare piece are definitely of Colombian origin. Seeing a piece from this period with this quality is very rare and difficult. Usually these pieces with that kind of precious stones were disassembled during the later Victorian period to create new pieces. This is a great collectible piece of great rarity, with an excellent craftsmanship and surely a collector's item.
Diamonds: Mounted in custom prongs settings, with 4 old lasque-cut diamonds, 0.42 carats.
Emeralds: Mount in boxes, with 10 natural Colombian Green emeralds of different shapes and cuts with a combined weight of about 2.80 carats.
Birthstone: Diamonds for the month of December, Emeralds for May.
Weight: 31.70 Grams, (20.32 Dwt).
Measurements: Drop of 75 mm and a width of 21 mm with a deep of 10 mm 14 mm (2.95 x 0.83 x 0.39 Inches).
Hallmarks: Electronically tested for .707/.999 equivalent to 17 karats gold and .850/.999 silver. Stamped with the maker's mark cartouche.

18th Century Qing Dynasty Fish Shaped Cricket Holder
Located in Incline Village, NV
Uniquely fabulous and highly unusual item for those seeking something different; this 18th century "cricket holder" from the Qing Dynasty is in the shape of a fish and is made of hand wrought metal, with nice detail and an open woven body which provided air to the cricket. A sophisticated clasp locking mechanism on the underneath of the fish kept the pet cricket contained in the caged holder. Obviously this was intact when someone at some point in time tried to remove whatever was inside by making a hole at the base of the tail to get it out (see image). This hand held cricket cage holder is in very nice and all original condition, save for the small hole; not fragile in any way; sturdy in structure with no repairs.
For over 1000 years the Chinese have used crickets...
