A fabulous and rare Victorian glass miniature chest of drawers c1880. There was a great fashion in the late Victorian period for highly decorative and somewhat impractical objects made of glass. This miniature chest could have used for jewellery or purely as decoration. The body of the piece is made up of coloured glass panels with decoration of spun glass.

A superb and rare English sterling silver tray decorated with repoussé Chinoiserie figures and pagodas. Dated London 1748 by the maker William Peaston. Silver objects were still the domain of the wealthy, it wasn't until the later 19th century that silver objects became much more affordable. Chinoiserie decoration on silver is quite rare as the fashion at this time for silver objects was overwhelmingly roccoco.

A sensational 19th century Ottoman silk velvet cover with gold thread petit point embroidery. The colour of this piece is delicious, a muted eggplant purple with very fine quality embroidery. Perhaps as beautiful, in a different way, is the back which is a beautiful hand loomed glazed cotton. Such pieces were intended for use at ceremonial occasions and would often be used to wrap gifts at weddings or cover a table used as part of a ceremony. In very good condition throughout.

An extraordinarily beautiful 18th century silk embroidered handloomed linen cloth. The islands centered around Rhodes had a specific style of embroidery - who knew! - and this is a fabulous example. The stitch is almost a crochet and is in the most beautiful reds and blues and of very fine quality. The linen base is handloomed and a patchwork of smaller pieces. There are two old repairs but generally the condition is very good. Such pieces are extremely rare.

A pair of gilt bronze and bronze Regency candle sticks c1820. In the form of a deer and stag beneath a tree these are beautifully cast and charming objects from the period.

A superb quality George IV agate and silver gilt snuff box c1825. The box is inscribed on the rim: "David Law Dunfermline".

A Regency period British pen work chinoiserie box c1820. Penwork was a form of decoration originally produced to mimic the expensive ivory inlaid Anglo-Indian items coming out of places like Vizagapatam in India. Amateurs did much penwork, which was considered a pleasant (and suitable!) persuit for ladies.

An early Byzantine period bone doll 4th cent. This extraordinary object is the body of a childs doll made from animal bone. You can clearly see the holes for articulated arms and for earrings. She has very clearly carved hair and face features. There is a surface crack - similar to that found in aged ivory - and a section has been reglued lower left othewise in good, stable condition. Interestingly, in many parts of Africa, childrens dolls are still made from animal bone.

A fabulous Austrian cold painted bronze cockatiel c1900. Vienna was the centre for the craft of cold painting bronze after it has been cast. The fashion for cold painted bronze exotic animals and birds was at its height at the turn of the century and this is a fine example.

A bronze Ottoman gunpowder box c1820. Stamped and applied decoration; the box was designed to be worn on a leather belt around the waist.
