    Delsart is a French or Catalan name. I like that.

    The Margo de Taxco. Rubbish photos on an ipad, but hey. The enamelling is exquisite. It looks like opal. image1 (2).JPG image2.JPG

    No worries...i went back and added it after I had originally posted, so...my bad!

    Charlie...on another site the auction estimate for that other Delsart painting was 400-600 euros, back in 2013. Not sure how that translates to yours but, I like yours better.

    Just finished a two day clearance in nearby Beverley.

    Relatives had been staying at the house for 3 weeks and recovered everything they needed before departing to Ireland and Belgium.

    Yesterday morning I spotted a bag of world coins on the kitchen counter.

    Being a coin collector I put them in a crate for later and commenced working.

    I've just finished sorting them and it was obvious it was small change from various holidays, lots of pre Euro from France, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Spain.

    I sorted what was still spendable, Swiss Francs, Euro cents, US coins and a few British.

    I found a 1918 Buffalo Nickel which I might get $5.

    Then I find a very worn keyring fob 1856 Gold US $1 with a hole in it, the remaining gold scraps at $85 (£65)

    Then I finds a 1910 Edward Half Sovereign 22k $228 (£175)

    A little bonus from small change:D

    komokwa The Truth is out there...!

    I see that quite differently....
    maybe a trawler ,, maybe a freighter.....and they look in as much trouble as the guys on the raft.....who may be on what's left of a smaller boat already lost in the storm..

    Not bad for the leftovers, Davey!

    A good painting like that would sell for nice money in Groton, CT or out near the Massachusetts shoreline. Groton is the home of the Coast Guard Academy and Electric Boat. If you do sell that on an auction site, make sure it ships internationally.
