Nelson & Nelson Antiques Acquires “Scent-sational” Treasures Rare Silver Overlay Perfume Bottles, Decanters Now Available
New York, NY (ContentDesk) July 28, 2006 -- Nelson & Nelson Antiques announces the acquisition of a large collection of rare silver overlay perfume bottles, decanters and porcelain items, all beautifully accented with silver overlay decoration.In Europe, silver and crystal were usually combined by topping cut glass items with silver stoppers, but Yankee ingenuity took a distinctly different approach and devised a new technique where the silver was chemically applied directly onto the glass in a variety of patterns.
These were then decorated, often with exquisite detailing, into beautiful works of art.
This uniquely American design style, named silver overlay, is now highly sought after by not only collectors, but all lovers of beautiful objects.From approximately 1880 until the early 1920s, no upper middle class household in America would have been without items decorated with silver overlay.
At the height of its popularity the technique was used to decorate vases, decanters, trivets and porcelain, all of which are now highly collectable.
It is, however, the perfume and cologne bottles which remain the most prized among collectors, especially the rare colored glass items which remain both practical and beautiful and make wonderful gifts for any occasion.Nelson & Nelsons recent acquisition of a substantial collection of these "scent-sational" treasures includes items in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors, including the most desirable and
rarer red and green
colors.
The collection also includes a large and comprehensive selection of Lenox porcelain items in a myriad of shapes and sizes.Nelson & Nelson Antiques Inc. is a family-owned business run by the husband and wife team of Steve and Marge Nelson since 1975.

THINK SUCCESS AND YOU WILL HAVE SUCCESS

Those who fail, follow the laws of failure. Those who succeed, follow the laws of success.
It is impossible to reach success with a scheme of failure thoughts in your mind.
It's impossible to have good health with a scheme of illness thoughts.
Your behavior is directed by your thoughts. Thoughts of failure, disease, loneliness and fear push you into a behavior which leads you directly to fail, become ill, feel lonely and fearful!
You can deny this principle or fight against it, you can believe it is not true or it doesn't apply to you, but you will never be able to escape from it.
These principles govern all creation, also the creation of your life. The experiences of your life start in your head. And it's exactly there where your power lies : in your thoughts!
The universe will give you health, if you learn to think in terms of health, not illness.
You will...
