Some new auction finds

Berlin work  rather worn in places on the net part, Still beautiful though.





Welsh Embroidery.



 A sampler from the 1800's



This pair are one's  that i dont want to let go.



A signed miniature with piano key frame.
   


 This next lot are Art Nouveau silver.







Being  frugal it was grieving me that in the  last lot of Teapots I bought   were four black Victorian Teapots damaged  , I knew when i bought the lot but off set the cost with the perfect ones  it was still bugging me that i would have to discard them .
So  i am going to have a go at repairing them with some epoxy putty i bought on line and some black paint but was wondering if you have any tips on what i could use for the glaze , The only thing i can think of is  clear nail polish.

    I love the piano key one, and I esp. love the jewelry!
    You might consider a clear acrylic spray sealer, you will need an enamel spray depending on the type of paint you use. Modge pogde type glue would seal it, but heat does affect it, so I's be leery of that.

    The Berlin work tapestry is gorgeous, I think the worn look of it makes it even more lovely. xxx

    Love, love, love the jewelry. I'd try glossy finish Mod Podge and say they're for decorative purposes only. Trish in NJ
