Set of 3 Miniature French Books
Aren't these the most adorable little books? They look so beautiful displayed with other little treasures. All three were found on different occasions over a very long period of time, but they make such a lovely set, that I decided to put them together. The covers are suede leather, and they measure approx. 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches.
The titles are -
Bienfaits d'Aimer
Anthologie Victor Hugo
Pascal - Choix de Pensees
Rare books indeed, and such a sweet little collection.
Tiny Antique French Keys, set of 5 - SOLD
Vintage French Ventouses Medicales - Glass Cloches
Silver Salt Spoon
Sweet little silver salt cellar, blue glass liner
1930s Cocktail Stirrers
Antique Victorian Pickle Fork
Until I found one of these pickle forks a year ago, I had no idea how useful they are. Those funny tines on the fork work so well when you are fishing about in jar for olives, or pickled gherkins, beetroot or whatever else takes your fancy.
It is silver plated and has a beautiful mother-of-pearl handle. I think the collar between handle and fork is silver, but it is not marked, probably because the weight of the collar is less than the weight which requires marking. This is what I have been told in the past, but I am no expert, so I can't be 100% certain. The fork is approx. 15cm long.
