VINTAGE LUCITE BRACELETS
Vintage lucite bracelets from the 1960s.
Lucite jewelry emerged in the 1940s. Lucite is a high-quality version of acrylic resin, developed by DuPont in 1937. It is highly valued for its strength, crystal transparency, flexibility, and resistance to UV rays, wind, and water. Therefore, this variant of acrylic resin is primarily used in the manufacturing of windows, furniture, and, of course, in fashion creations. Lucite is naturally crystal clear, but by adding pigments, colorful versions like the presented bracelets are achieved. Lucite is also known for its durability and adaptability, as well as its scratch resistance, ensuring that you can wear these bracelets for years and perhaps pass them down to future generations. You can wear the bracelets individually or create a dramatic look by stacking multiple colorful bracelets on your wrist. Dimensions: 8.5 x 7.5 cm Weight: 16 g The bracelets are excellently preserved.

VICTORIAN TAXIDERMY ROSELLA PARROT
Rosella parrot under a glass dome, circa 1880.
The presented rosella parrot comes from the 19th century, a time when placing taxidermied animals under glass domes was a popular practice, particularly during the Victorian era. This tradition stemmed from a passion for natural history collections known as "cabinets of curiosities," where people would gather and display natural wonders such as minerals, exotic plants, and animals. Glass domes were often used to protect and showcase these collectible items, especially taxidermied animals. The popularity of this practice grew alongside a rising interest in natural sciences, fueled by major scientific discoveries and expeditions to exotic lands, which introduced new animal species. These collections reflected a sense of awe and fascination with nature, and they were part of the Victorian obsession with documenting and classifying the world. Taxidermy during this period was not only a scientific practice but also became a form of home decoration. Taxidermied animals under glass domes were displayed in homes as symbols of refined taste and education. The domes were designed to protect the specimens from dust and damage, allowing for long-term preservation. Within these glass enclosures, taxidermied animals were often arranged in elaborate scenes that could depict them in their natural habitats – as with the presented rosella parrot – or sometimes in purely artistic or imaginative settings. These exhibits were intricately crafted and carefully arranged to create the illusion of realism. However, by the end of the 19th century, this trend gradually faded as aesthetic tastes changed, as did the relationship with nature and animals. Dimensions: 40 x 34 x 16 cm Weight: 1.5 kg The rosella parrot exhibit under the glass dome is in excellent condition.
