a fine full figural owl desk seal, pale emerald eyes
Silver : Sterling : Smalls
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
1552 Sold
Italian, Florence circa 1880. What makes an object extraordinary? In the case of a sculpture, it must be well modelled. Then, it must be cast by a capable founder so that every last detail of the clay model is captured in the metal. Finally, the condition must be flawless. Our bird meets all three criteria without ruffling a feather. Height 2 3/4+ inches, weight 3.44 oz.

antique sterling silver dominoes, boxed set
Silver : Sterling : Smalls
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
0644 Sold
Bored and in need of a new game? How about one that doesn't require a computer or, for that matter, electricity? Measuring 4 3/8 by 1 1/8 by 1 3/8 inches, this set will fit easily into your purse or briefcase, but at 31 oz. Troy (that's two pounds, two ounces in lay terms) it may weigh you down a bit.
