- 104. SILVER EAGLE HEAD CANE -CA. 1910
104. SILVER EAGLE HEAD CANE -CA. 1910 -SUBSTANTIAL, FIG...104. Silver Eagle Head Cane -Ca. 1910 -Substantial, figural eagle head handle modeled with striking stylized, features including a longer beak and thunder like decoration in clean lines which all hint to a developing Art Deco taste. Stepped partridge shaft and a metal ferrule. Praised by age and careful use, this cane is authenticated German with the struck national silver Reichsmark of a “Crescent Moon & Crown” representing the entire German state in conjunction with an “800” decimal silver standard marks. -Many silver handles of this type were done by Tiffany & Co. NY and are known under the name “Tiffany Nast Eagle”. The American eagle was a popular motif in the 19th century States especially during periods of high patriotic zeal. However, this walking cane may not have been meant to be patriotic, as for sailors the eagle held a different symbolic importance. As even the oldest birds continually renew their feathers, they were believed to be symbolic of eternal life and eternal love. -H. 4 ¼” x 2 ¾”, O.L. 34 ¼” -$600-800
- VICTORIAN, LOVE NECKLACE, CA. 1840 -
VICTORIAN, LOVE NECKLACE, CA. 1840 - 1850Victorian, Love Necklace, ca. 1840 - 1850, 15-18 karat gold, emerald, diamond, ruby necklace featuring concealed memento overall weight: 24.10 grams 13 emeralds ranging in size from 2.5 x 2.1 mm to 1.5 x 1 mm 20 diamonds ranging in size from 1.7 x 1.5 mm to 1 x 1 mm 2 rubies approximately 1.7 x 1.7 mm While gifting jewelry is a time-honored custom, its heyday was during the Victorian Era (1837 - 1901) in British history, which coincided not only with the Romantic movement (1837 - 1860) in literature and the arts, bu also with Queen Victoria's happy marriage to Prince Albert. At that time, hair was reminder of love and friendship and could last a long time if well preserved. Between 1837 - 1901, hair within jewelry and hair work art was extremely popular. Victoria and Albert set the fashion world on its head by exchanging locks of hair in 1839. Victoria blushingly declared that she wore Albert's in a locket at her neck, "night and day". The Victorians also associated the snake motif with eternal love, and Queen Victoria put snake jewelry under the fashion spotlight when Prince Albert bought her a snake engagement ring, with an emerald (her birthstone) embedded into it, accenting the creature's head. Lot 231 is a striking example from this period and bears a tiny lock of hair under glass on the back of the locket. It was recently presented to the Antiques Road Show and will appear in an episode due to air in the Spring of 2023. (Gere, Charlotte, and Rudoe, Judy.
