Mid Century Cemar pottery palm leaf tray
Hyper rare. It was in mint condition. Leaf bolted to the bamboo stem. Sold to a man in Miami :) Found in the Wild.
Neckties from the 40s
The bottom tie has a brick design!
The color of masculinity in the 40s was a deep burgundy. As seen on smoking jackets and neckties.

Joel Resnicoff for Espirt skirt
A hyper rare 80s Joel Resnicoff for Espirt skirt that I sold on Etsy.
His brother bought it.
Had I kept it, and I wanted to, I would have cut it and framed its pieces.

The Stories, the Stars
Of course I'm sworn to privacy and can't blab about my Hollywood clients. I can tell you this Art Nouveau hair comb was purchased by a costume department.
When I asked about its fate I was told, 'Its actually for an HBO series, called "Lovecraft Country" we are mid-production of the first season in Atlanta'.

Bye!
An Apple Juice Bakelite magnifying glass that I literally found & just sold for $100. It's moving to Canada.
I wish I were going with it.
Wave goodbye!

I'm a Hollywood Darling
This man's father bought a hyper rare Orry Kelly necktie via the 1920s from me.
Kelly was making these while he was in NYC with the help of his then lover, Archibald Leach, who of course became Cary Grant.
He sent this photo today along with:
Hi Christian,
My son really liked his birthday gift! I’ve attached a photo he had taken at Hearst’s Castle. He is on one of their Boards. They had an event Sunday which gave him an opportunity to wear it.
The NY Times interviewed him about the tie during the event. I don’t know if/when they will use the interview. Thanks again!
