About the Item

A mid-20th century enamel trinket box featuring hand-applied floral decoration in cobalt blue, soft yellow, and coral tones, set against a delicately patterned ground. The box is finished with brass edging, a hinged lid, and raised bun feet. The interior is fully enameled in a saturated turquoise blue, providing a striking contrast to the exterior decoration. Subtle variation in the enamel work and surface patina reflect age and hand-finishing, contributing to the piece’s character. Well-proportioned and decorative, this box functions beautifully as a jewelry or keepsake box, or as an accent object on a desk or side table. Condition: Beautifully maintained with light, age-appropriate wear consistent with use and history. Minor wear to edges and surface, consistent with age.

Pair of Monumental Hand-Carved Koi Table Bases
Located in Sarasota, FL
A commanding pair of hand-carved hardwood table bases featuring expressive koi or mythological fish rising upright from squared plinths. Their highly detailed features—arched tails, deeply incised scales, fan-like fins, and stylized expressions—create an incredible sense of movement and artistry. Likely crafted for export during the late 19th to early 20th century, the forms draw on both Eastern and Western design language. The koi, long revered in Chinese symbolism as icons of prosperity, endurance, and transformation, are paired here with a dramatic sculptural presence that evokes Victorian maximalism. These bases are versatile in application—ideal as supports for a custom marble or glass dining table, or used separately as twin console tables...
