40 new listings in August. Some new stock not featured on 'Newest' page.
40 new listings for the end of August. Only the first 20 will appear on the 'Newest' page, so do check the other main pages. Many of you will also have noticed that the web site has been redesigned, and one of the improvements is to allow more than one of a particular item to be included. So where I have acquired another copy of something that I have sold, I can re-open an item for sale without making a new listing for it. That means it will not appear on the 'Newest' page either. So have another look for items you have missed, they may be back again. Click on the title above "40 new" to see complete list of re-listed items.
valuation for your ebay listing
In future, requests for identification and valuation of items which are obviously destined for ebay will incur a charge of £20.
SETS can be split
Have you looked at the category of SETS? Many of these matching items can also be purchased separately. Where this is the case you will find the prices for individual pieces in the item description.

D-A Green Enamel Butterfly, small

Add to basket $67.73

Here is a delightful little guilloche enamel butterfly by the leading Norwegian silversmith, David-Andersen. This design has been one of the company’s most popular, and the butterfly has been produced in a myriad of colours and several multicolours, as well as 3 sizes. It has been widely exported, and there are probably more flying around in the United States than in Norway. The butterfly is made of sterling silver and treated with a gold wash (vermeil). It is then guilloched (given the pattern seen through the enamel) and finally coated with a coloured transparent enamel. This green example is the smallest size.
