FINE ANTIQUE 19C SCOTTISH WHITE METAL / SILVER PLATE & CARVED COCONUT CUP TREEN
I will be selling a good number of interesting antiques including Tribal art, Chinese and European antiques. PLEASE NOTE: This auction is in GB Pounds Sterling.This is one of several antique carved coconuts I am selling this week. This is a mounted cup example with, I believe, silv...er plated mounts (unmarked). The cup is carved with the name Robert J Bunch and a heron carved within a laurel wreath. I think this is part of the Bunch family crest, the Scottish branch of the family. It is in lovely condition with one small split in the rim but no other damage. The lid just sits on top and will fall off if knocked but is certainly original to the piece. I am selling quite a few pieces of tribal art, asian, european and other antiques over the next two days (Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd) so please view my other auctions.It is my policy not to end standard auctions early with a 'buy it now' and at the end of an auction I will not make second chance offers. Please read down the entire listing for Dimensions, Condition, Postage & Payment Details - most of the information you will need is here on this page but please get in touch if you don't find what you are looking for. Condition & Dimensions
Very good condition but there is one slight split in the coconut cup as photographed below. No other damage.It stands about 6.5" / 16.5cms tall.
Postage & Packing
For your peace of mind and mine items will be sent fully insured. I will be posting from WEDNESDAY 4th DECEMBER so please make payment as early as possible, ideally within 3 working days. PLEASE be a little patient with the post - I will get them posted asap but I work on my own, have a large amount to post and I do pack carefully. I also post in the order that things are paid for. My items are located in Belgium but I return to the UK after each set of Ebay sales on business trips and post the majority from the UK. It seems complicated but it makes sense and the Royal Mail and Parcelforce have always worked pretty well for me!Any delays by the postal services either at my end or abroad are rarely my fault. I always post out at the latest 3 working days after receiving cleared payment but sometimes an item is slowed up by a backlog of post or delayed whilst being processed through customs. To give you an idea it generally takes about 3-7 working days within Europe and 7 - 14 working days to the U.S. / rest of the world. If speed is of the essence then I can use a courier (Parcelforce) but prices for couriers start at around £30 / £40GBP for the very smallest object and VERY quickly escalate depending on size, weight and destination. I add on very little, often not enough to cover the packaging materials, so the price I quote really is as fair as possible.
