The smallest is a 19th-century jewelry box from a shop in Albany. It's about the size of a dice or a sugar cube.

We started looking around and were astonished that there were hundreds of them. Especially in the 19th century, boxes were not something to be thrown out when the contents were removed.

If there are no spots on a sugar cube then I’ve just put a dice in my tea.

The 20th century saw three great-power confrontations. Two of them turned into total war. We lucked out on the third. Do we really want to roll those dice again?

fine wines, jewelry, Western furniture, and 19th century paintings.

I love to shop. Clothes, electronics, and I love jewelry, especially yellow gold.
