After 1840 it was one of the most important retailers of luxury items before Carl Fabergé overshadowed all competitors. Several contemporary Saint Petersburg newspapers praised the high-quality products of the magasin anglais Nicholls & Plincke.According to the donor's family tradition, this rare set with more than fifty items bearing the monogram CMI was "originally made for and used by Colin Macrae Ingersoll 1819-1903, when he accompanied his father, Ralph Isaacs Ingersoll 1788-1872, to the Court of Czar Alexander II of Russia, where the latter served President James Knox Polk 1795-1849 as Minister Plenipotentiary from 1846 to 1848..

(0.32 x 8.26 cm), Bronze, Japan, 12th century, The Japanese first imported mirrors from China during the Kofun period (250-552). One surface of these bronze disks was polished to be reflective; the other side was embellished with designs in relief. Because mirrors were thought to be magical, the designs were often formal and geometric, and they were placed in tombs in the belief that they could illuminate the darkness. By the Heian period (794-1185), mirrors were a standard element within cosmetic sets and their embellishment reflected secular tastes.Golden egg isolated on white backgroundDisc ca. 1295-1070 B.C.

Assyrian This small ivory figurine depicting a resting calf was probably blackened through exposure to fire when the palace complexes at Nimrud were sacked during the final defeat of Assyria at the end of the seventh century B.C. The bottom of the figurine is flattened and has a rectangular hole, into which a peg could be inserted as a means to attach the calf to another object. It was likely attached to the lid of a pyxis, a small round box used for precious goods including luxurious commodities such as spices, incense, cosmetics, perfumes or ointments. A fragment of such a lid, decorated with attached ivory calves and flower buds, was found in the Burnt Palace, where this calf was excavated, along with several additional calves with markings similar to this one.

Parisian goldsmiths made a wide range of small, personal articles such as snuffboxes; étuis to hold sealing wax, tweezers, or utensils for sewing; souvenirs, which contained thin ivory tablets for note taking; and shuttles for knotting lace. Gold snuffboxes and boxes decorated with portrait miniatures were prized and frequently given as royal gifts, often to ambassadors or members of the court in lieu of cash payments for their services. Coveted and admired, these boxes were produced from a variety of materials. The best were skillfully made of gold and embellished with diamonds, enameled decoration, lacquer, and other luxurious materials. By the middle of the century, the taking of snuff had become an entrenched social ritual, and the snuffbox, too, had become an important social prop. Snuffboxes were considered highly fashionable accessories, with some merchantshield An image of a nice vintage shield Copyright: xZoonar.com/magannx 2475540Engraved Gem; Roman Empire; 1st century; Amethyst; 1.3 × 1.1 × 0.3 cm (1,2 × 7,16 × 1,8 in.)Attic Black-Figure Eye Cup Fragment.

Probably New Kingdom, Ramesside-Third Intermediate Period This small piece of flint was a key element to a successful agricultural season in ancient Egypt. Grain was a staple of the economy, as bread and beer made from grain were consumed daily. They also formed the foundation of eternal sustenance, as funerary offerings. Ancient Egyptians used sickles made from flint and wood to reap grain. Pieces of flint such as this one were shaped to fit into a wooden haft along with a number of other such inserts, and secured with an adhesive. The flint pieces provided a sharp edge to cut the grain stalks. With use, the flint would wear down and develop a shiny gloss. The flint inserts could be re-sharpened or replaced as needed. Sickle inserts could be made in a variety of ways. The earliest were fully bifacially retouched, then later they were made on blades (long narrow pieces of flint). Starting in the 2nd millennium BC, some sickle inserts were made on large fRetro cartoon illustration.
