Large Peer Smed sterling calla lily brooch

Rare hand-hammered sterling pin in the form of a large lily with leaves, fresh out of the same old estate as the four enamel brooches which are also listed. It was crafted by the renowned silversmith Peer Smed. Smed trained as a silversmith in Denmark with the famous A. Michelson and came to America in 1904. He designed for Tiffany Studios for a time and then opened his own shop in New York City where he made hollow ware and beautiful jewelry recognized for its kinship with Danish Skonvirke and the work of George Jensen yet possessing its own unique elements of design. He is known for his elegant chasing and pleasing naturalistic forms, in particular his flowers of many kinds. This brooch is four inches (4") in width and two and a half inches (2 1/2") in height. $1450

Tudric pewter box with enamel center by Charles Fleetwood Varley

Large Tudric pewter and enamel jewellery box by Charles Fleetwood Varley. It is signed "Varley" in the lower left corner of the enamel panel. Varley's enameling is highly prized by collectors of the British Arts and Crafts everywhere. The box is in very good condition save for some lines in the enameling of the rocks in the upper left which blend in to a great degree with the general outlines of the rocky landscape. The box retains its original green silk and velvet insert with the gold lettering "Liberty & Co. Regent Street. London." on the panel insert of the lid and is marked on the bottom of the box "English Pewter, Made by Liberty & Co." along with the numbers "01021". The box measures 7 1/4" x 4 1/2" and stands 2 3/4 " high, or approximately 18.2 cm x 11.5 cm and 6.9 cm high.

Four American enamel brooches.

Shepard/Robbins Co. enamel and sterling brooch with tulip design

Shepard/Robbins Co. fresh out of an old estate. Here is a wonderful, vintage sterling guilloche enamel pin which has a design of four large, red tulips as a four cornered rectangular surround as its main element with an oval open center. It is a very big pin measuring 3" wide and is 2" in height. The brooch is in excellent, original condition. The vivid, colorful depictions bring the tulips to lush life in enamel. The subtle shadings of color, oranges, pinks, as well as reds in the flowers are so pleasing in person. It is marked "Sterling" on the back.
It is pictured in Christie Romero's book along with the next brooch I'm listing, "Warman's Jewelry" published in 1995. They are from the Melrose/Attleboro, Massachusetts area which was the center for most all of the great Arts and Crafts, Edwardian, and Art Nouveau enamel work which was done in America from the turn of the last century. SOLD

Charles Robbins Co. waterlily and cattail pin

Rare silver guilloche enamel lotus/cattail pin by the Charles Robbins Co. one of the most iconic of American vintage sterling guilloche enamel pins. It's got just about every thing in nature going for it: beatiful waterlillies, a sheaf plus of cattails, wonderfully depicted water elements, birds in flight in a sky which is filled with lavender clouds. It is a very big pin measuring 3" wide and is 2" in height. There are a few pin-sized dark dots in the upper right of the brooch and the upper left border is a bit irregular in its gold-washed edging which is original and occurred in the making of the pin but the brooch is in otherwise excellent, original condition. This is sure to be one of the highlights in anyone's American enamel collection of the period. It almost never appears on the open market any more. This brooch is pictured in Christie Romero's book, "Warman's Jewelry" published in 1995. It too is from the Melrose/Attleboro,
Massachusetts area. $700
