Loft of Echoes

The rule of decorating is: buy what you love…

That’s really how I’ve always chosen pieces — not by what is expected, not by what everyone else is looking for, but by that very specific feeling when something stops you.

I don’t believe the best homes are created by filling space. They’re built slowly, with pieces that make you pause, ask questions, and want to know where they’ve been.
That’s what we always look for — pieces with presence, history, and that quiet pull you can’t really fake.

Buy what you love. The room will follow.

Antique sterling silver-mounted tortoiseshell card/game box, circa early 1900s, with a fitted wooden interior holding two miniature card decks decorated with sailing ship illustrations.
The silver mounts are hallmarked with the Birmingham anchor, lion passant for sterling silver, and the EHP maker mark, most likely for Eugene Henry Posen, registered in Birmingham around 1901. The date letter appears consistent with the early 20th century, likely around 1902.
A beautiful little object for a collector, desk, cabinet of curiosities, or layered antique display — decorative, useful, and full of old-world charm.

This is a beautiful example of late 19th-century French historicist enamel work, the kind of object created during the Renaissance Revival period, when artists and collectors were deeply fascinated by the richness of earlier European decorative arts. The portrait is signed Lamy, a name associated with a known group of French enamelled porcelain and faience plaques from the 1880s, often depicting romantic Renaissance-style figures with dramatic dark backgrounds, delicate grisaille faces, and brilliantly colored enamel costumes. What makes these pieces so special is the technique: this is not simply a painted image or a printed decoration. The luminous colors are created with enamel — a glass-like material fused by heat — which gives the surface that jewel-toned depth and lasting brilliance. The face is rendered almost like an old engraving, soft and monochrome, while the costume glows in rich blue, red, yellow, and turquoise enamels, creating a striking contrast between portraiture and ornament. The mark on the back appears to be a painted shield-style mark, the type often seen on late 19th-century European decorative porcelain; however, with pieces like this, the true importance is not in overclaiming a factory attribution, but in the signed enamel work itself. Signed Lamy examples have appeared in major auction and gallery records, which confirms that these plaques belong to a collectible and highly decorative category of French 19th-century enamel portrait work. It is valuable because it combines age, hand craftsmanship, a recognized signature, complex enamel technique, and the romantic Renaissance Revival aesthetic that still feels incredibly dramatic and timeless today.
