Description
This lot comprises a diverse collection of vintage and antique decorative objects, ephemera, and household curiosities. Included is a cigarette card album titled The Kings and Queens of England 1066 – 1935, issued by John Player and Sons. Ceramic figures feature a large polychrome gentleman in traditional eighteenth-century attire leaning against a floral-decorated stump, a smiling monk in a brown habit, and an oriental figure reclining on a green cushion.
Wooden and lacquered items include a small black chinoiserie box with gilt landscape scenes, a parquetry-style music box with a winding mechanism, and a tall, stylized black abstract sculpture. Stone and metal objects feature a carved lidded box with floral motifs, a white metal tankard, a pair of ornate filigree salt and pepper shakers, and a small metal putto on a wooden plinth.
Also included are two cased sets of metal instruments, one in a blue velvet-lined box and another in a larger white-lined case with cross-hatched handles. Further items comprise an ornate enamelled hand mirror with floral decoration, a single hand-painted Russian nesting doll, a commemorative medal in a red presentation case, and a corkscrew with a natural gnarled wood handle.
