More of the cabinets

I have to say I so love a bit of tribal jewellery.  

White metals, old coins, giant rings...

the look and even the sound they make.

See the amazing jug this necklace is draped on?  It is a piece that 

has been salvaged from a shipwreck off Indonesia.  This particular piece 

is dated around 950 AD.  It is just one of a few pieces we managed to 

get for the shop.  

Another tribal piece - this time in an antique gold finish.

These rings are all adjustable so you don't have to worry about sizes - one

size fits all.

This ring weighs in at about 50cm.  I love big rings on other people, but
have to say it surprised me how much i love it on me.  Definitely one of my
favourites.

This gypsy bracelet is sitting amongst good company.  The leathery looking
ceramic bowl is another ancient salvaged piece.  The red tikka boxes are old
and no two are alike.  Then of course there is one of Stuart's frames
behind.  Handcrafted and gilded in white gold.

More jewellery, this time handmade and a total one of a kind.

The bowl ...  another salvaged piece.

This bowl and the jug at the beginning are the ones I would 

love to take home.

Simple Elegance

Tang Horses.   They are usually in either ochre colour or green.  I have to say that I have not often seen them in the black and the patina of these ones is especially beautiful.

Old Japanese cast iron teapots.  

Also managed to get a few old Japanese parasols.  There is something about these that is very special.  I think it is the construction in general - simple beauty.

Hand painted Mongolian sideboard.  The painting on this piece and the muted colours are particularly beautiful.  The glass jars on top are vintage Japanese tea jars.  I have them in 2 sizes.

These are a few of my favourite things .....

Couldn't wait to post a few more things.  Here is one of the Chinese antique pieces that came in.  I really love the raw simplicity and the three wafer thin celadon bowls on top are another one of my favourite things.  

An assortment of old Chinese calligraphy brushes - bone, jade, carnelian and other semi precious gemstones.
