Important one-of-a-kind 23-carat Ceylon natural no-heat sapphire and diamond convertible necklace/brooch in platinum and White gold, Portuguese, circa 1957, crafted for an occasion graced by Queen Elizabeth II during her royal visit to Lisbon, accompanied by a custom-fitted case. This exceptional and singular vintage jewel hails from the 1950s, an era of unrivaled elegance and exquisite craftsmanship. It boasts a transformative centerpiece crafted as a convertible necklace-brooch of unparalleled artistry. At its heart lies a resplendent round-shape natural Ceylon sapphire, a dazzling gem of remarkable rarity, weighing a remarkable 23.01 carats. The centerpiece is an exquisite focal point, a dazzling spectacle adorned with a stylized floral cluster delicately adorned with round brilliant-cut and marquise brilliant-cut diamonds, further accentuated by smaller oval-shape sapphires. This captivating cluster extends gracefully on either side, adorned with delicate swags of alternating marquise brilliant-cut diamonds and oval-shape sapphires, culminating in a sublime sapphire and diamond cluster terminal, which transitions seamlessly into an articulated link necklace meticulously set with diamonds throughout.

A follower of Peter Paul Rubens (Siegen 1577 – Antwerp 1640) Attributed to Theodoor van Thulden (Bois-Le-Duc, 1606 – 1669) Perseus Frees Andromeda oil on canvas, mounted on panel? 82 x 67 cm. - with frame 98 x 83 cm. The subject of the painting, derived from Ovid’s Metamorphoses (Book IV, lines 663–752), is inspired by the myth of Princess Andromeda, daughter of King Cepheus of Ethiopia and Queen Cassiopeia, depicted here as she is freed by the Greek hero Perseus after he has defeated the sea monster that held her captive. This cruel punishment had been imposed on her by Poseidon, god of the seas, to atone for the arrogance of her mother Cassiopeia, who had dared to compare herself and her daughter to the Nereids in beauty. When Perseus returned home on his winged horse Pegasus after his victory over the fearsome Medusa, he saw the princess chained to a rock on the coast and, overwhelmed by her beauty, decided to save her. The hero, clad in gleaming armour and wearing the red cloak of the victor and a crested helmet, is flanked by two small cherubs, one of whom helps him to break the chains binding Andromeda to the rock, emphasising the theme of love triumphing over danger. This is a smaller version derived from the famous ‘Perseus Frees Andromeda’ painted by Peter Paul Rubens around 1620, now housed in the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, from which the main scene on the right has been taken. Rubens, who often employed sophisticated references to antiquity to emphasise the message of his paintings, modelled the figure of Andromeda and the cherub at her side, intent on loosening her chains, on the statue of the Happy Venus (Rome, Vatican Collections, which he saw during his stay in Rome. The success of Rubens’s work led to its widespread circulation and a substantial number of copies produced by his workshop (in Vienna at the Liechtenstein Gallery, in Potsdam at the Sanssouci Gallery, the Museum of Arles, and the Museum of Lisbon). It is our opinion that the authorship of the finely executed painting presented here is to be attributed to a Flemish artist active around the second half of the 17th century amongst Rubens’s followers...

Art Deco / midcentury large DC3 desk aviation model. Pan-Am wooden airplane model. It was in an office of the company in South America. Very good restored conditions. Slight age wear. History Pan American Airways began the first transatlantic passenger service on this day in 1939. Pan American World Airways, as it was to be known, commonly known as Pan Am, was the principal United States international air carrier from the late 1920s until its collapse on December 4, 1991. Founded in 1927 as a scheduled air mail and passenger service operating between Key West, Florida, and Havana, Cuba, the airline became a major company credited with many innovations that shaped the international airline industry, including the widespread use of jet aircraft, jumbo jets, and computerized reservation systems. The history of Pan American Airways is inextricably linked to the expansive vision and singular effort of one man – Juan Trippe. An avid flying enthusiast and pilot, Trippe, only 28 years old when he founded the airline, lined up wealthy investors and powerful government officials from his personal acquaintances in the high-society of the 1920s. However, Pan Am’s first flight was an inauspicious start to its epic saga. In 1927, facing a Post Office deadline for the commencement of mail carriage, Pan Am had no working equipment for its sole airmail contract between Key West and Havana. Fortunately for Pan Am, a pilot with his Fairchild seaplane arrived at Key West and was willing to carry the mail to Cuba for the start up operation. It is fitting that Pan Am’s first flight would be over water, since the airline would Pioneer overseas routes throughout its history. Pan Am’s fortunes took a turn for the better in the fall of 1927. Through the heavy lobbying efforts of Juan Trippe, Pan Am was selected by the United States government to be its “chosen instrument” for overseas operations. Pan Am would enjoy a near monopoly on international routes. Added to Pan Am’s Cuba route were lines serving Mexico, Central America, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Puerto Rico. Most of these destinations were port cities, which could be reached only by landing on water. Therefore Pan Am made good use of its “flying boats,” the Sikorsky S-38 and S-40. Flights were eventually expanded to serve much of South America as well. EnlargePan Am’s fleet of Clippers allowed the airline to conquer the Pacific in the mid-1930s. The flying boats would later be put to military use in WWII. Just a few years later, Pan Am launched its effort to cross the world’s largest oceans. Survey flights across the Pacific were conducted with the Sikorsky S-42 in 1935, but passenger service required bigger and better aircraft. Accompanied by much fanfare, the Martin M-130 was introduced in 1936, followed by the Boeing 314...
