Dear friends & clients: We have more Fine Arts & Antiques than we canbegin to keep up with, as to eBay – at least 4, 000 period pieces. Group photos will give you a slightidea of the depth of my collections, and Elly's inventory - keep watching thispage. R. Josef  The US antiques trade is rife withperpetuated errors, and moving to France nearly 26 years ago meant that I hadto unlearn more than a few things. One of the most annoying falsehoods is that all pricket candlesticks (and many larger mid-drips) areecclesiastical. This has been thoroughly disproven, from early inventories, woodcuts and paintings, and in-situresearch – I own non-ecclesiastical wrought iron pricket beam candlesticks.Two others, specifically in the contextof pewter, was that 1. all hollow-ware and plates, etc had to be completely spun, and thus exhibit “chatter” marks –completely false – early (maybepre-1760 – I don’t yet know a specific date) pieces are cast, and often notturned. The second was that all early lidded or handled pewter vessels hadto display a “linen” mark – also false – although they sometimes do. Therelevance of the first observation is that 26 years ago, I would have dismissedany antique pewter that had unspun casting marks still present as being arecent copy or fake. Owning several rare and early French pewter candlesticksand lamps (two are 16th century) and other objects clearly retainingtheir casting marks has gone a long ways to reeducate me.For our respective collections or Elly’s inventory, we primarilybuy Continental, and mostly French antiques, but have substantially expandedour horizons in Germany, Belgium and Italy, where we now purchase& trade with numerous collector/dealers. We haveincreased not only our buying, but also my reference library, and in severallanguages; I have numerous books on French pewter, but need more – the subjectis complicated.The design of this rare pair is typical of the early to mid-18thcentury – circa 1760 is conservative – they could well be earlier. One has amore or less legible hallmark, but I’m not sure of the orientation, or what itis; I don’t have any reliable books on French pewter hallmarks (I’m not sure ifone exists yet). These came together from the Auvergne Region, the Westernborder of which is less than 40 miles from my house in the Limousin. They areclearly from the same atelier – they are identical in size, form and detail –except that one was possibly cast and not turned, and they have different setsof owner’s initials engraved underneath. Matched pairs of porringers are very rare – I don’t recall having another before– but as with many other categories of antiques, there are at least 50 pieces ofearly pewter on hand at my house.We are independently listed with the NewEngland Appraisers Association, for France or England.Under France, you will find me listed twice – the first time isas the founder of record of the New EnglandAppraisers Association.This is one of many pieces of early European Decorative arts we willbe offering, including quite a few from private collections - one alonecontained nearly 200 lamps – supplemented by summers of non-stop buying on theroad in Western Europe - do keep an eye on Elly’s eBay page/store.Condition: asdescribed, and as-seen – but basically outstanding, with no repairswhatsoever. The tips of the “ears” on the LLPporringer are slightly bent – one more so than the other – given theflexibility of early pewter, this should be easy to correct. Otherwise, thereis surface wear and a few extremely minor dings, but perhaps less than theusual amount one expects on pieces of this period (and no “scale”). Pleaseexamine the photos closely – they are an integral part of the description. Note:Photos are high resolution – use magnification for viewing details. Please ask, if you wish more.© R.

Intolerantbuyers, or those leaving less than 5-star feedback (no longer invisible) willbe black-listed. This is not a"decorator" shop - eBay’s Consumer Goods-generated “Hassle-freereturns” policy does not apply to arbitrary whim, or unqualifiedopinion! Returns areaccepted - if: there is amajor problem with the age, condition or origin of a piece as described;and this is confirmed by aqualified expert with professionalcredentials. Photographs of anyalleged damage are required - they are mandatory for insurance claims.What you pay for shippingis our actual cost – international shipping is stupidlyexpensive - we have absolutely no control over rates – I lose 4% to PayPal, and often absorb extra costs, such as double-boxing.International buyers – please inquire, as to mailing costs!Note:Our independent certifications withthe New England Appraisers Association (in both France & England) expedite Customsclearances, and prevent duties being incorrectly imposed on antiques conformingto the 100 years legal dateline, thus saving buyers 10% to 43% in relevant countries. From France, the postalsystem is fast, efficient, flexible, & based on weight; rates haverecently changed, but often remain less than those of the UK.  Up to 2 kilos to North America costs 36Euros; up to 5 kilos to North America costs 53 Euros; up to 10 kilosis 100 Euros, & 20 kilos is 160 Euros – plus 1 Euro per 100 Euros insurance coverage, to a maximumof 1, 000 Euros. Buyers can lowercosts on grouped purchases, depending on the size of the parcel, &insurance coverage - several pieces in one parcel are usually lessexpensive, as to per-item shipping cost – but do ask first!From the UK - Royal Mail can only be used for internationalparcels under 2kilos; measuring less than 90 centimeters total, and with a maximum insurance value of £250 (a recent, &exceedingly dumb decision): FedEx or UPS shipping is largelyvolumetric – the cost of sending a 5-kilo parcel is only marginally higher than1 or 2 kilos – 5 kilos toNorth America can be as little as £50 - versus £28 to £32 for 1 kilo – depending on the size of the parcel, & insurance coverage. Buyers can usually lower shippingcosts on grouped purchases – but again, please ask first. Payments:PayPal, French or UK checks, or bank drafts, & all banktransfers accepted. We areobliged to accept PayPal, but prefer bank transfers, or UK or French checks -PayPal takes a 4% bite out of all transactions - including shipping costs.Please feel free to contact us for grouped rates, andcommissioned, or guided buying in France - including partial or completecontainers, with related services.
