  • Antique Early 1900s Brass Vide Poche

    €65.00

    Antique early 1900s vide poche

    This charming antique vide-poche was made in France in the early 20th century. Made from brass, it features an elegant decorative design with a little dog sitting in its doghouse in the lower left corner.

Today, it can still be used for storing jewelry, keys, or other small trinkets, while also making a charming decorative object.

    It would make a wonderful addition to a cabinet of curiosities, antique interior, or French-inspired collection, and its unusual dog motif makes it particularly appealing to collectors of animal-themed antiques.

    €165.00

    Antique early 1900s mountaineering crampons

    These antique mountaineering crampons are a fascinating and historically significant piece of early alpinism. Featuring a hinged 10-point design, the crampons were hand-forged and represent an early development in climbing equipment designed to provide better traction on ice and hard-packed snow.

    The articulated construction allowed the crampons to follow the movement of the climber’s boots while providing additional grip on challenging alpine terrain. Their robust, utilitarian construction and hand-forged character make them particularly appealing to collectors of early mountaineering equipment.

    A wonderful piece of early climbing history, combining practical alpine equipment with the craftsmanship and character of a bygone era.

Over the decades, the metal has developed an attractive oxidized patina, adding to their aged appearance and authenticity. They have been carefully treated with antique preservation wax, providing a subtle protective finish while helping to preserve the surface for years to come.

  • Antique 30s Canine Tooth Pendant

    €150.00

    Antique early 1900s tooth pendant

    This unusual antique pendant features a beautifully polished canine tooth set in a silver mount. The pendant was given as a personal gift by the owner of a hunting club in Berlin during the 1930s, adding a fascinating piece of personal history to this already distinctive object.

    Unfortunately, the exact species the tooth originates from is unknown. Based on its size and shape, I suspect it may have belonged to a large feline, although this cannot be confirmed. Its unknown origin only adds to the mystery and character of the piece.

    It would make a truly unique pendant when worn on a necklace, or an intriguing addition to a collection of antique curiosities, hunting memorabilia or natural history objects.

    After almost a century, the pendant remains in good antique condition. Over the decades, the silver mount has developed a beautiful natural patina, which enhances its aged appearance and adds to its antique charm and character.
