ADD SOME MAGIC

Vintage Magician's "Saw the Lady in Half" Table

USA
1960's
Channel your inner Harry Houdini with this remarkably sophisticated vintage magicians' stage prop and perform for your friends what was arguably the most startling new trick in any magician's repertoire of the 20th century. Out of respect for the magician's honor code instructions will be given only to the actual buyer. 

Magic - schmagic, this piece would make one helluva bar! Or raw bar or any type of serving or buffet table. The upper cabinets are deep enough for most bottles.

Note how when the table is divided in two sections they can be used as side tables, albeit high but not if you have a knole sofa.

This would also make a fantastic display table for a fashion retail boutique.

10 OF 10 JOLLY ROGER

Click all images to Enlarge

Corum Skull Clock

Switzerland
Made in 2000
This remarkable Jolly Roger desk clock is one of only 10 such timepieces created by the celebrated Swiss watchmaking firm of Corum. The entire case is crafted of solid sterling silver in the piratic skull and cross-bones, and houses a quartz movement of impeccable quality. The skull lifts to reveal the clock face, which takes the form of a spider and web encircled by a silver serpent. The position of the spider indicates the time the alarm is set, which is adjusted by the dial on the right. A second dial on the left sets the time. Corum is renowned for their masterful quality and innovative watchmaking. The company releases specially crafted lines known as "World Premiers" on an annual basis, of which only a limited amount is ever made.
This clock is marked "Corum, Limited Edition, No. 10/10, South America" on the back the of Skull, with the Corum, sterling "925" and Swiss-made marks appearing underneath. The clock is accompanied by its original paperwork and fitted case.
