The Chinese Mandarin Court Necklace (Chao Zhu) restoration project for our; ”Out of the Attic” series, has been sold in a charity auction on eBay. The net proceeds of the auction will benefit the Northumberland Hills Hospital.
I want to thank all of the people who contributed their time and care to this project. It is a beautiful and meaningful piece of history/culture/craftsmanship/art – all combined together …I hope that it’s new owner loves it as much as I do.
