Buyer's premium:

A collection of four vintage items comprising one circular metal box and three sewing thimbles. The circular box is constructed of a base metal, possibly pewter, and features an Art Nouveau-style relief design on the lid depicting stylized roses and linear motifs. The body of the box exhibits concentric ridging. The three thimbles include two examples decorated with cloisonné enamel. One cloisonné thimble is primarily green, and the other is red/burgundy, both featuring gold-toned wirework depicting floral and butterfly designs. These enamel thimbles have dimpled gold-toned metal tops and bright enameled interiors. The third thimble is a deeply textured metal piece featuring a starburst pattern across its body. This metal thimble is visibly marked CH 6 DORCAS on its lower band.
