What periods do these pieces span?

The selection includes items ranging from the nineteenth century through the Edwardian era and the height of Art Deco in the 1920s and 1930s. Mid-century works and later pieces also appear. This broad timeline means buyers can find Georgian portraits alongside 1960s oil paintings and vintage gemstone rings.

How should I care for vintage jewellery?

Rings set in 18ct white gold with sapphires and diamonds require gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemical dips that might damage softer stones or alter the metal. Store pieces individually in lined boxes to prevent scratches between diamond facets and softer gem materials.

Are the paintings ready to hang?

Most framed oil paintings and watercolours come prepared with standard picture wire or fittings attached to the reverse. Collectors should check individual listings to confirm framing details. Direct sunlight and excessive humidity should be avoided when selecting a wall placement in the home.

What defines Art Deco jewellery?

Art Deco pieces utilise geometric layouts, platinum or white gold settings, and contrasting stones such as calibre-cut sapphires and diamonds. The aesthetic favours clean lines and symmetry. This style emerged strongly after the First World War and remains highly sought after for engagement and dress rings.
