One of the best things I’ve had the pleasure of selling

[@neilkennedy5307]

I can never get enough of David's expertise. I'm sure many other people would agree. I particularly enjoyed his discussion of items then his auctioning of the same. Great!

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

He is very good!

[@neilkennedy5307]

At last the return of David Elstob. Your videos are only interesting when he takes part!

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Don’t tell him that, he’ll get all big headed!!

[@elstobelstob3352]

I thought you had seen too much of me so a break was needed! Very kind, thank you!

[@chazsmash2345]

Cool, thanks

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thanks for watching!

[@OriginalNethead]

The German-made one with the H just went onto my wish/dream list, and I don't collect boxes. The micromosaic doves are pretty awesome too, but the blue enamel sucked me in.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Amazing aren’t they

[@terrilowe3530]

Stunning

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thank you! 😊

[@timhazeltine3256]

The micromosaic piece mimics a fragmentary mosaic from Hadrian's Villa near Tivoli. The porphyry is likely Roman in origin, as the material, which was extracted from quarries in Upper Egypt, was favored for imperial building projects. It was so closely associated with the Emperor that it, along with a purple dye manufactured in Phoenicia, were perogatives of the Imperial Family.

Great information, thank you Tim

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

You can watch the auction online…it’ll be interesting!

[@elstobelstob3352]

The market will decide, much depends on how bidders feel on the day. Plenty of enquiries so far 🤞
