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to the donor's family tradition, this rare set with more than fifty items bearing the monogram CMI was "originally made for and used by Colin Macrae Ingersoll [1819-1903, when he accompanied his father, Ralph Isaacs Ingersoll [1788-1872, to the Court of Czar Alexander II of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..

Iran, Qasr-i Abu NasrClarinet in C ca. 1825 Edward Riley The invention of the clarinet at the beginning of the eighteenth century is attributed to Johann Christoph Denner. By the 1760s, it had become part of the orchestra and during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this highly versatile instrument spread to nearly all forms and styles of music making including military and concert bands, jazz, klezmer and a variety of world music traditions. Before the development of fully mechanized key systems in the second half of the nineteenth century, clarinets were built in a wide range of different keys because the instrument functioned best in its home key or those closely related to it. Clarinets in different keys also have subtly different timbres or tone colors. With the advent of modern key systems, B-flat and A clarinets are the only instruments needed to play in all keys.Because of its ability to play chromatically before brass instruments gained this capability through the adoption of the valve, the Black silk rip ribbon, anonymous, c. 1400 - c. 1950 Black silk rip ribbon.

Africa, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kuba peoples, Early 20th century. Metal; Titled Kuba men and prominent women wear the laket, a small ornate dome-shaped hat. An essential fashion item of adult men in good social standing, it focuses special attention on the head as a significant marker of individual identity, ethnic affiliation, status, and role in society. This prestige object is secured on the crown of the head with a nine-and-a-half-inch metal pin that pierces through the hat onto a clump of hair. The laket is made from raffia palm fiber coiled into threads and woven in two alternating patterns and contrasting light and dark (dyed) wefts. There are two examples of the laket: the plain type with the flat top, and the more elaborate type called the laket mishiing.ScissorsBottle A.D. 2nd-6th century Coptic Period. Bottle.
