Online Auction: Assorted Collectibles & Jewellery – Featuring Majolica Vase and Amber Pieces and furniture
Lot 325:
Base metal and mixed material jewellery collection featuring amber, coral, and agate beads
Description
This eclectic collection comprises a variety of bead-strung items and loose components, primarily featuring materials that appear to be amber, copal, and coral. The amber-type elements display a broad spectrum of naturalistic colours, ranging from pale honey yellow to deep cognac and rich orange. These are presented in various forms, including polished round beads, ovals, organic nuggets, a carved cross pendant, and a large circular ring component. The lot also includes elements that appear to be red coral, appearing as branch-style necklaces and round beads, alongside banded agate-style beads. The construction of the pieces utilises traditional stringing methods and wire-wrapped eye-pin techniques. Metal findings, where present, appear to be base metal as no hallmarks or purity stamps are visible. The collection includes several loose components and beads contained within plastic bags, suggesting a mix of finished jewellery and materials for assembly or repair. No weight or specific measurements are provided.
Condition report:
The collection is in mixed condition. Several items appear to be disassembled, partially broken, or consist of loose components. There is visible surface wear, minor abrasions, and some oxidation to the base metal findings. Stringing integrity varies across the lot, with some strands requiring re-threading.
