This mid-century wearable art sterling silver and Baltic Amber organic neck piece is one of the most beautiful, outstanding and unusual pieces that I've personally every seen. The necklace has been designed around a huge chunk of amber with nice resin deposits as its main focus. There is another branch with yet another large natural piece of amber. Great Necklaces
I once had the Polish artists name and a website with other examples of his work from the 60's and 70's but unfortunately due to a computer meltdown I've since lost it and can't find it again. Marked GJ in an oval beside which is the assay mark for Poland, post 1920.
CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition with no damage to the amber or the sterling silver. I've not cleaned it and won't because some people may prefer the natural patina.
SIZE: The pendant hangs a striking 7 1/4 inches from the necklace. The large piece of amber is 2" x 1 7/8" and the smaller one is also an irregular shape and is 1" x 1/2"
I will continue to try to find the artist who created some very avante garde beauties and is very well known and documented, just have to nail the name down.

Andrea, your store is a wonderful treasure trove and your knowledge and class are of a scholarly collector.
I am a university research professor with an eye for detail. I have never seen any vendor with your level of exquisite scholarship. Just like your fine objets d'art, your descriptions are crafted with masterful finesse; it is such a pleasure reading them and it is also a great learning experience. Thanks again! Patrick

Downsizing was inevitable and I've done it several times already. This is the big one, and I am still unboxing treasures retrieved from storage after decades.
All pieces are one of a kind handpicked by yours truly over 40 years to add texture, style and story to your authentic style.
My collecting story starts after watching Astaire and Rogers float across a dance floor as a young girl, I have loved art deco design, art, fashion and jewelry. So bold and beautiful, and so different from anything that came before it. Art deco changed social and design sensibilities forever. A lifetime collector of high quality antiques and vintage, I started by making contacts, researching and learning. Picking the best of the best, I live with art deco and vintage decor and used to wear the fashions of the day. To say that I feel in love is an understatement. I reveled in the fact that I was able to reflect my unique style and sensibilities with a marriage of old and new.
Since I was in my teens I have bought what pleases me, what I find beautiful and unique, and the things that speak to me on a creative level. I hope that you can see and feel the passion and love that I feel for antiques and vintage pieces and share with you. You will find art deco, collectible and vintage fine art paintings, original illustrations and magazine covers, home decor, marble, alabaster and metal lamps, nude flapper table lamps, sterling silver decorative accents and tableware for the home and entertaining, designer and estate jewelry and fine vintage watches in my shop.
