Palm Beach Jewelry, Art, and Antiques Show 2019 - Part 2


Auguste Rodin.  "Eternal Springtime."  Bronze.  French.  1890.
The Show attracts many people and buyers, but also those who want to
enjoy beautiful things.

All three have hand-painted scenes on them.




Two Chinese Blue-and-White Export Porcelain Balusters


David Webb.  "Diamond and Enamel Bracelet."
David Webb was an extremely popular jeweler for the ladies of Palm Beach
from l930-60.  He worked in New York but opened a store in Palm Beach as well.
Many of his pieces were available and still seemed to embody a style that
works well in Palm Beach society today.

Alfons Mucha.  "Monaco - Monte Carlo."  Czech.
Mucha's posters appeared on kiosks in Paris, on trains as ads,
and all over Paris to advertise Monte Carlo and encourage people to visit
the area.  Originally, they were free, simply advertising.  Today this is
worth over $50,000.




Benjamin Steinitz Antiques.  Paris.




Emile Galle.  "Peony Cameo Glass Lamp.  France.
Two glass bubbles were blown of yellow glass; they were then
coated with a red glass.  After it cooled, they ground off part of
the red in order to make some yellow appear.  The process was
similar to what jewelers do to create cameos jewels.




Louis C. Tiffany.  "Poinsetta Lamp."  US.  Art Nouveau.
All the Tiffany lamps were designed by women and then built by
male craftsmen.  Note the variations in color in each piece; pieces are
joined together and held with strips of lead, which is a soft metal.




The pieces of glass are not "pane glass" and flat, but pieces of blown glass which are built up
of several layers to create infinite variations in color.  Here are the "Lotus Lamp," the "Red Tulip Lamp," and the "Poinsettia Lamp."





Tiffany and Co.  "Dogwood Hanging Shade."  U.S.




Tiffany and Co,  "Wisteria Lamp."
The original was designed by Clara Driscoll.  Company records
were destroyed in a fire, but it is believed about 200 lamps were produced.
