Markus Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Thanks Nick for that beauty! I love the lion painting! He looks like is on something with his wild bulging eyes! Lol! Very rare type!
Markus Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 No comments 90.jpg Hi Nick, I think this beauty has been posted before. See post #262 and # 267 of this thread. The box is an order of the Aghdas and it looks like the top is missing. See post # 100 this thread. A real beauty!
Markus Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 66.jpg 68.jpg A very nice Early Bertrand piece. See post #16, I have the same type in my collection and it has an early Bertrand mark stamped on the ring. These early Bertrand's certainly are nice and very distinctive!

JapanX Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Nice! It looks like usually they cut this exellent photo
paja Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 You're right, but luckily I was able to find "complete" photo in some book and I just had to scan it and post it here Unfortunately my scanner is not in good shape so the photo is not that great.. Original size. Makes me feel really proud every time I see one of our guys with that order

Markus Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 A recent auction by Bonhams had some great Persian medals. This is a very early Lion and Sun medal circa 1820 according to Bonhams. Was in the MacNamara collection. Hammered at $6,030 US.
Markus Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 A very early piece Lion and Sun with diamonds, rubies and emeralds, at Bonhams auction. This piece appears to have been taken off the bidding schedule. Circa 1820 also formally in the Robert MacNamara collection. Estimate was from $24,000 to $32,000US. The painting is rather incredible with a praise worthy mustached lion.
Markus Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Another Jeweled piece in the Bonhams auction with a medallion that is rather typical of Persian pieces. This one appears to be also withdrawn from the auction. This piece also had diamonds, emeralds and rubies. Estimate was for $19,000 to $24,000 US. Edited October 7, 2014 by Markus
Markus Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Bonhams Auction. A very unique Lion and Sun thought to be Russian made. Gorgeous Medallion painting! Circa 1820 with screw back plate.

Markus Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Bonhams auction. A circa 1890 Russian made Breast star with paste stones, military division. The medallion looks Persian made. Eight pointed star would suggest 1st class star. Hammered at $8,422 US. Edited October 8, 2014 by Markus
