A collection of men’s accessories and miniature books including examples by Onyx-Art London and SixTrees. The lot comprises four pairs of cufflinks, a tie pin, a picture frame, two miniature leather-bound volumes, a stud box, and a glass heart. The cufflink sets include a pair of silver-tone and enamel links featuring a triangular road sign design with figures and the text ‘6 points’, presented in a silver-coloured box printed with ‘Onyx-Art London’. A second pair of silver-tone fish-shaped links is housed in a blue box with the word ‘indulgence’ printed to the inner lid. Two further pairs of gold-tone base metal links feature embossed vintage car motifs and octagonal engine-turned geometric patterns respectively. A gold-tone tie pin with a circular textured head and safety chain is included in a dark blue presentation box. The lot also contains a silver-tone picture frame set with multi-coloured cabochons and a paper insert printed ‘Cedar Grove by SIXTREES’, alongside a vintage style brown leather stud box with ‘Studs’ embossed in gold-tone script. The two miniature books consist of a copy of ‘Hymns A. & M.’ printed by ‘WILLIAM CLOWES & SONS, LIMITED’ and ‘The Book of Common Prayer’ published at the ‘Oxford University Press’ by ‘HENRY FROWDE’. A small green molded glass heart completes the collection.
Condition report:
The collection is in mixed condition. The vintage style leather stud box shows significant surface wear and abrasions to the edges and button (photo 10). The two miniature books exhibit heavy wear to the leather bindings and damage to the spines (photo 2), with internal pages displaying typical age-related toning. The various metal items show minor surface tarnishing and fine scratches consistent with age and use. The picture frame and glass heart appear to be in good order with no visible chips or losses.
