A trinket box, circa 1810-1820, circular brass coaster, with pierced rim, top inset with gathered and twisted leather forming a closure (rubbed), base inset with hand-coloured circular etching of six erotic scenes and a mythological deity in the form of a faun (possibly Pan?), toned and some water-staining to edge, small hole in blank margin, diameter 8 cm (3.25 ins), together with An early Victorian Valentine, circa 1840, hand-coloured lithographed sheet, with a romantic allegorical verse in which a cottage 'To be Let with immediate possession' is symbolic of the heart, surrounded by an illustration of cupid beside a young lady seated on a bench next to a fountain, and a winding road 'Love Lane' leading to 'Hearts' Cottage', within border of flowers, lyres, and love birds, several folds, toned, and some show-through from contemporary manuscript on verso, 24.5 x 19.5 cm (9.75 x 7.75 ins), framed and glazed, plus Matrimony Thermometer, Germany, circa 1880s, glass thermometer mounted on card printed with six increments each illustrated by a colour lithographed figure of a man or woman: 'Indifferent', 'Flirting', 'in love', 'Jealous', 'Angry', Furious', toned, extreme tip of lower left corner missing, length 19 cm (7.5 ins), housed in original cardboard box, worn, titled on pull-off lid in early manuscript, and a large heart-shaped Boer War pincushion with label on front 'Granadier Guards' and Edward VII's cypher, 19 x 18 cm (7.5 x 7 ins) (Qty: 4)NOTESAn unusual collection of objects pertaining to love and marriage. The first item is particularly curious; we have been unable to trace anything similar. We can only speculate what it was used for; perhaps holding accoutrements of a gentleman's dress (collar studs etc.), for storing dice, or maybe for holding sugared almonds or similar comfits. Whatever its ostensible use, its true purpose is clearly to amuse and titilate. The second item might appeal to anyone involved in the sale or management of property: "I have a little heart to let,/Depicted just above,/The fixtures are unvarying truth,/The Rent is - Constant Love...".
