This is an extremely rare Elgin wristwatch with stunning textured and hooded lugs in 10kt yellow rolled gold. This dynamic watch has great presence created by the flared lugs and case which have been done in two textures. The lovely white dial has raised markers and hours with a raised/textured dial indicating the minutes. There is also a sub-second at 6 o'clock. The extra wide bezel is designed with a recessed crown. The watch is triple signed on the case, the dial and movement. It is a very high grade 17 Jewel Caliber #673 Manual Wind Adjusted Movement. The slight curvature of the case seemingly molds to the contours of your wrist to make for the perfect fit. Fitted with a lovely grained leather band, this watch is ready to wear or give as a great gift. More Great Watches

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.
