Mother-of-Pearl Baby Rattle with Sterling Floral Design Elegant Mother-of-Pearl Handle The handle’s thick, lustrous mother-of-pearl adds a luxurious sheen, contrasting beautifully with the sterling silver accents.

Victorian Coral Stickpin of Figural Face in the Motif of the Grotesque
Victorian Coral Stickpin of Figural Face in the Motif of the Grotesque

Victorian Coral Stickpin of Figural Face in the Motif of the Grotesque

Located in Baltimore, MD

We love our wonderfully esoteric Grotesque man (or "other") crafted by a talented unknown carver in the 19th century from a chunk of the most desirable orange-red toned coral. Connoisseurs of literature or theater or the arts understand the term Grotesque as referring to fantastical, exaggerated or distorted representations, usually of the human face or figure. (The word "grotesque" originates from the Italian "grottesca", meaning of a cave" (grotto = cave in Italian) and refers to doubled, metamorphosed, or altered forms). Originally Italian, the concept of the Grotesque was used in French and German literature as well, and is a an integral part of English literature and theatre (The Theatre of the Grotesque preceded the Theatre of the Absurd) today. We find our Grotesque stickpin guy (gal) to be not grotesque at all but endearing, with his (or her) exaggerated features and droopy skin folds. And as a reference to classic theatre, this coral stickpin...

A fine vintage 18 karat yellow gold brooch in the form of a poodle; part of our vintage jewelry and estate jewelry collections.
