Christmas has snuck up on us again and there’s only ten days left to get our gift shopping done. There’s still time though and there are an abundance of items in store that would make greats gifts. Here at Greene & Greene Antiques we hold unique collections for all ages and styles.
One of the main reasons we have the custom of giving and receiving presents at Christmas, is to remind us of the presents given to Jesus by the Wise Men: Frankincense, Gold and Myrrh.
All over the world, families and friends give presents to each other. Most children around the world believe in a Christmas gift bringer. It's often St. Nicholas, Santa Claus or Father Christmas, but in Germany they believe that it is the Christkind, in Spain they believe it is the Wise Men and in Italy they believe it is an old lady called Befana.
So we thought to show you just an example of our range for the men in store. A Tunbridge ware stamp box circa 1860; Gold cased quizzing glass circa 1820; Collection of various bone and perspex dice; HMSS aesthetic design vesta case Birmingham 1883; HMSS small box with engraved knight Birmingham 1895; Double nine whalebone and ebony dominoes from a complete set, 19th century.
