It's practical to have a serviette ring for each member of the family, so that everyone uses their own serviette at each meal, but it's important that each serviette ring be different, to enable you to identify them. Collect them, they're pretty and not expensive!
salad service in silver and ivory
part of the service was sculpted in ivory because otherwise the vinegar in the salad dressing would attack the silver
silver sugar bowl
One sometimes sees sets of small knives with silver blades, these are fruit knives. Until the advent of stainless steel, the acid in fruits would quickly stain and rust the steel blades of knives. A silver blade, although too weak to cut a steak, is suficient to cut fruit and will not discolour. The old rule of etiquette whereby one tears salad leafs with one's fingers at the table rather than cutting them with a knife has its origins in the same phenomenon: the acidic vinegar would quickly attack the old steel blades. With stainless steel being widespread, this custom has no longer any reason to be followed UNLESS you are invited to a meal where antique knives will be used!
New book - Traditional French Jewellery
Book - Traditional French Jewellery - order here direct from the author
Dear collectors, auctioneers, dealers and jewellery lovers,
You have visited the site www.bijouxregionaux.com which for twelve years now has listed all regional and traditional French jewellery, without advertising and without sales. By popular demand, this website is now finally available as a book, much more complete and with many new photos and texts that are not on the site. I traveled more than 4,500 km in 2020 to visit the various collectors and museums of France and to photograph, weigh, measure and examine their jewellery.
Large format of 23.5 x 30 cm, 304 pages, hardcover and fully illustrated with over 1300 jewels in color, this book is the first complete book on French regional jewellery and corrects the many errors and gaps observed in the other references and presents other regional jewels hitherto unknown to the public. You will find eight full pages on Breton pins and fibulae and many other jewels in museums and private collections that are not on this website. Over four months of research has gone into making the chapter on hallmarks the most reliable ever seen - clear illustrations of hallmarks have been made especially for this volume. And for the first time, collectors will have access to a complete list of all the assay office symbols, small signs withn the hallmarks that identify in which city the jewellery was hallmarked. The opening and closing dates since 1798 of the hallmark offices are also listed for the first time, allowing, with the office symbol, to better date your jewellery.
The print run of this book is very limited, which is why I recommend you order early. You will love this book I have had nothing but compliments and many clients have ordered more to offer as gifts.
