	We are now selling our merchandise through a lovely Antique Mall located in St. Charles, Illinois. We will do two runs Auction style and after that all items will be put into Store Inventory so make sure you go through all of our inventory, we have some excellent pieces there. All Store Inventory pieces will be located in the Antique Mall located at 11 N. 3rd St., St. Charles, IL 60174. Because of the variety of locations our items come from we state a 10 day delivery policy UP FRONT, if you need an item in a rush please let us know and we will do everything within our powers to facilitate your needs. We ask that you not leave negative feedback on delivery time due to the fact that we have informed all buyers prior to their purchasing of our unusual circumstances. If shipment DOES take more than the 10 days we have listed we do expect to be ranked less than five stars!

	Up for auction this week we have TWO amazing pieces of hand painted, antique Mont Joye Legras vases; this auction is for ONE of the TWO. Their patterns are so similar that it took us close to an hour to find differences in the design to confirm that they were hand painted; obviously they were painted by the same artist though. Highly detailed and with their significant height these two pieces make a grand statement! This auction is for one of the two vases, of course we would prefer to see the two pieces sold to the same individual as they would make an amazing display on a fireplace mantle, a dinning room table, or nightstands in a formal bedroom.
	At 14 significant inches with a six sided opening and a slight slope towards the top these pieces are wonderful examples of the Art Nouveau period.
	Considering their age there is minimal wear and tear, significantly less than what you would expect. There is some wear to the Gold Gilt at the opening of each piece, we have added a picture to show this. As is always the case with glass there are minor scratches but nothing anyone would notice, the beauty of these vases will be front and center!
	There are places where the 18k gold is so heavily placed that it gives a 3D effect to the piece. These scrolls, swirls, beads and florals which are so recently seen in todays fashions and advertising were first used in the earliest part of the 20th century for design. What's old is new again! The above picture show the wear in the corners of the 6 sided openings.

	A photo of the wear from the outside, for vases of this age they are in outstanding condition which only a glass manufactuer like Mont Joye, Lalique or Legras would be capable of creating. Please check our store this week for a number of jewellry pieces which we are selling, perfectly timed for Christmas shopping! Our handling and materials charges for our pieces are $5.00 for the first box (typically we can fit everything into one box but if there is the threat of damage due to fragile items we will add additional boxes) $3.00 for the second box and all additional boxes are free of materials and handling. Total shipping charges will be based on weight, handling, and insurance which is required on these the insurance will be enough to cover the purchase price. Please wait for our final bill before paying for anything! If you are interested in more photos or additional information please write to us BEFORE bidding. We have roughly 10 more photos which we have not added to this listing to keep size to a minimum while still showing all of the important information. As it states in all of our listings we have a ten day lead time due to the fact that most of our merchandise is in clients homes, Model homes, or the Antique Store where we sell our high-end merchandise. If you need the piece fast please email us and we will do everything in our power to get the piece as quickly as possible but please do not leave a negative mark on shipping time when leaving feed back, our delivery is as we state it to be. If shipment DOES take more than the 10 days we have listed then yes, we do expect to be ranked less than five stars! _______________________

	We make a great effort in providing you with photographs, measurements, and whatever detail and faults with each item as possible. We are not professsional Antique Appraisers!

We still recommend that on high end items you purchase insurance above and beyond that of the insurance provided by the carrier. We do not profit off insurance and consider that policy to be just wrong, insurance is for your benefit.
