Crowned Leopard Loves... Home-Cooked, High-Class Brunch (and 3 Day Weekends!)
Each week The Crowned Leopard showcases a new find, special offers or a piece we think is extra special and that our customers will love!
This weekend was Memorial Day weekend and there is nothing Crowned Leopard loves more than 3 days off! The weather here in Seattle was less than stellar so there was no better way to remember those who served our country than over a home-cooked, high-class brunch. Crowned Leopard rolled up his sleeves and cooked up quite the feast and pulled out all his best wares. High- Class meant served up on the best china, salami, cheese and fresh fruit presented on a pedestal cake tray and fresh juicy berries served in his newly acquired antique Austrian silver ramekins which were once owned by the US Ambassador to Austria (soon to be on sale at the Crowned Leopard Online Shoppe!). All in all it didn’t take much more effort to turn breakfast into one classy and relaxed event.

This Foster and Bailey cut crystal vanity jar is absolutely sparkling! The pattern cut into the crystal features a fan and diamond type pattern that reflects the light beautifully. The lid is sterling silver and is clearly hallmarked with the Foster and Bailey flag mark and also reads “Sterling 3006”. There are beautiful, swirling botanical details around the top edge of the lid as well as an ornate script monogram in the center which appears to read JCS. The jar has quite large, globular shape and measures 3.5 inches x 4.5 inches. This is a very beautiful, solid piece which would be a stunning addition to any home or collection!

Crowned Leopard Loves... Ludlow! The lovely Antique Steiff Teddy Bear who used to be hard of hearing…
Each week The Crowned Leopard showcases a new find, special offers or a piece we think is extra special and that our customers will love!
This week we feature Ludlow….remember Ludlow? He’s a lovely antique Steiff teddy bear we featured in February who came to us missing one of his ears! While just a bit hard of hearing, he was an absolute sweetheart and we sent him to the bear hospital for an ear replacement. He recently returned looking dapper and he is now available for purchase at The Crowned Leopard Online Shoppe!
Ludlow measures 13.5” standing, is fully jointed, stuffed with excelsior and has a small hump at the top of his back, all typical features of Steiff bears from this era. The shape of his head, elongated nose and position of the ears on the head are featured in many bear books as features of a c. 1920 Steiff. His arms are a long sweeping curve shape and come down past his knees while standing and just past his feet while sitting. He appears to retain his original felt paw pads and about 3 of his original claws. There are some spots of wear on his paws where the excelsior stuffing is showing through which is very common on bear of this age. He has a vertically stitched nose and this and his mouth are likely re-stitched.
He has a fairly full coat of mohair considering his age (he retains about 80%) and when you push his tummy he squeaks! Squeakers were common on older bears but most of the time you will find they no longer work due to years of squeezing and chatting.
Ludlow is such a special bear and will make someone a wonderful new friend. He’s the perfect addition to any collection so please consider bringing him home today!$595 SOLD!!
