Lot 308:
A Collection of Carved Ivory and Bone Costume Jewellery and Decorative Objects
Description
This extensive lot comprises a variety of vintage hand-carved items, primarily fashioned from ivory-toned materials including ivory and bone. The collection features several necklaces, notably long strands of tubular beads accented with black beads and strands of intricate floral-carved beads. Bracelets include a high-relief carved bangle and articulated panel bracelets with geometric and foliate motifs. Notable accessories include a miniature framed architectural scene brooch, a circular blue enamel portrait pin, and a carved letter opener. The pieces exhibit traditional hand-carving techniques and articulated linking. No precious metal hallmarks or maker’s marks are present; metal components appear to be base metal or silver-tone. The style suggests early to mid-20th-century production.
