Auctioneers and Appraisers of Fine Art, Antiques, Period Costume, Textiles 1002 West Cliveden Street Philadelphia, PA. 19119-3701 215-817-4600 www.whitakerauction.com Helen Larson and James Laver of Victoria and Albert Museum, 1965 The HELEN LARSON Private Collection Helen Larson was a passionate collector of both fashion and history. She, with the assistance of her close friend Doris Langley Moore - founder of The Costume Museum, Bath, England - assembled a massive collection over a 50 year career beginning in the 1940’s. There are many lots offered here that are illustrated in Moore’s The Woman in Fashion and The Child in Fashion. The Helen Larson Private Collection spans several centuries and offers collectors, historians, and institutions a unique opportunity to acquire historical, royal and haute couture with a secure chain of provenance. Many lots include copies of correspondence between Larson and Moore as well as copies of invoices and auction records. Following World War II there was a great deal of property and costume belonging to British and European Royalty that came onto the market and Helen Larson, partially due to her success as creator of Western Costume in Los Angeles, was in a position to acquire much of it. The “Royalty” represented in the collection is vast and includes Queens Victoria, Alexandra and Mary of England, Louise of Denmark, Marina of Greece and others. Plate XXVI The Woman in Fashion, Lots 185 & 217 Doris Langley Moore The Royal Group at Windsor Castle Photograph, part of Lot 314 American figures of note range from presidential first ladies and Gilded Age industrialists, to Hollywood celebrities including Mrs. Ulysses S Grant, First Lady Ellen Wilson, Gilded age industrialists Mrs Jay Gould (Duchess of Tallyrand), Consuelo Vanderbilt (Duchess of Marlborough) and Katherine Hepburn from "The African Queen”. The HLPC also houses some of the best of the best in haute couture with important examples from Worth, Poiret, Paquin, Pingat, Molyneux, Vionnet, Chanel and others. In short even the simplest of cotton dresses contained in this collection is clearly just a little bit better than what we currently see in the market. If you are interested in history or in the period costume industry at any level you should find a way to view this life’s work of a woman in fashion.

  • Glossary of Jewellery Making and Beading Terms
    Glossary of Jewellery Making and Beading Terms A jewellery glossary of beading terms and jewellery making terminology combining clear images with easy to understand dictionary like definitions. This bead glossary also provides links to more in depth content and bead resources. It can be used as a beading A to Z reference guide to dip into as needed, or as a beading and jewellery glossary for beginners to help broaden beading and jewellery making knowledge. It is particularly effective when used alongside our Beading Guides, Histories, Theories and Tutorials, or in conjunction with our Gemstones & Minerals Glossary and Venetian Glass Making Glossary. A ABALONE These edible sea creatures are members of a large class of molluscs that have one piece shells with an iridescent interior. These shells have a low and open spiral structure, and are characterized by several open respiratory pores in a row near the shell’s outer edge. The thick inner layer of the shell is composed of a dichroic substance called nacre or mother-of-pearl, which in many species is highly iridescent, giving rise to a range of strong and changeable colors, making it ideal for jewellery and other decorative objects. Iridescent nacre varies in colour from silvery white, to pink, red and green- red, through to deep blues, greens, and purples. Read more in our Gemstones & Minerals Glossary. Above are examples of Paua and Red Abalone. ACCENT BEAD Similar in purpose to a Focal Bead, this is a bead that forms the focus for a piece of jewellery, but on this occasion rather then through its size, it is usually through contrast.

  • ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Preparing a Project of This Nature Is an Arduous Task and I Was Fortunate Enough to Get Support from a Large Number of Persons
    PREFACE I am pleased to present the project report “Gold Jewellery” before my respected readers. It is a humble attempt from my part to judge consumer behavior for the effectiveness of existing and self designed ad- copy of Spices. This study deals with a number of topics, which will help the reader understand and learn how consumers make consumption decisions regarding Spices. Language of the report is simple and lucid. Attempts have been made to arrange the subject matter in a systematic and well-knit style. Efforts have also been made to deal with all topics precisely and gently. I express thanks to all those prolific teachers and experts of management whose theories and ideas have been incorporated in this project report. Despite of this it is very difficult to be perfect to the core and mistakes do creep in for which I extend my apology and carve the hospitality of the readers to point them out. Their criticism and suggestions for the improvement in future are welcomed. VANDNA PATHAK B.COM VTH SEM ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Preparing a project of this nature is an arduous task and I was fortunate enough to get support from a large number of persons.
