THIS PIN CERTAINLY HAS A GOOD LOOK. IT IS COSTUME AND THE SETTING IS GREAT WITH THE DRAGONS. IT MEASURES 2 1/8 BY 1 5/8 AND CAN BE WORN AS A PIN OR PENDENT. REGULAR PRICE $35.00. #4999  THIS BEAUTIFULLY CARVED IVORY PENDENT MEASURES 2 1/4 BY 1 1/2 AND AS YOU CAN SEE THE FLORAL CARVING IS LOVELY. IT COULD BE HUNG FROM A CHAIN OR A BLACK RIBBON, AS IT PROBABLY WAS AT ONE TIME.  Interesting champlevé lamp that rests on a wooden base. Most likely this was originally a 19th century champlevé urn that was converted into a lamp many years ago. (There are two smooth areas on the central bronze panel that appear to have been where handles had been applied) These seem to have been professionally (?) removed and filled in. The designs on the champlevé are rather unusual and are repeated around the circumference of the lamp. The bronze on most of the lamp is smooth with a nice patina and as can be seen in some of the pictures , the top band of bronze is not smooth but has a repeating design. The urn itself is ~12" (H), the base is 1½"(H), and the height to the top of the harp(without finial) is ~ 22".  This bronze and champlevé double-handled urn/vase has a wide central champlevé band, with a central medallion depicting a Ho-Ho bird, and this is surrounded by a floral design on a turquoise ground. All the enamel is in very good condition and the patina is lovely. An exceptionally attractive late 19th century urn! 12" (H).
