Chinese porcelains include the lustrous jade green Lung Chu’an vase, the black Ding ware Yuhuchun vase and a selection of fine blue and white pieces.

A collection of two MidCentury sterling bracelets by Georg Jensen & Wendel is a highlight. Colored gemstones, fine gold, lovely period jewelry and a superbly carved jadeite jade pendant are offered. Among the many wonderful decorative art finds are the grand Rococo Revival carved wood wall mirror and the vintage mixed metal hanging parrot sculpture. The E. Howard banjo wall clock is an American classic.
