We are pleased to offer this remarkable antique female gambler set, presented in its original Tiffany New York wooden display box and centered around a beautiful Tiffany 1 Broadway New York Bowie double-bladed dagger. The dagger features a pearl handle engraved with an eagle, giving the piece an elegant but unmistakably dangerous presence. Also included are a sterling silver heart keepsake charm box and a mother-of-pearl keepsake box, creating a refined and highly unusual personal ensemble that blends luxury, concealment, sentiment, and self-defense.
Objects like this sit at the fascinating edge of 19th-century social history, where gaming rooms, travel, private clubs, riverboat culture, and personal protection all overlapped. A gambler’s set was never simply about chance; it reflected style, risk, status, and survival. The female association makes this grouping especially compelling, suggesting an owner who moved through a world where elegance and danger could exist side by side. Tiffany’s 1 Broadway New York address adds tremendous prestige, placing the centerpiece dagger within the world of high-end New York craftsmanship and luxury retail.
This is the kind of lot that immediately stops bidders in their tracks. The Tiffany-marked Bowie dagger, pearl grip with eagle engraving, sterling silver heart box, mother-of-pearl keepsake box, and original Tiffany display case create a complete and unforgettable presentation. We see this as a true conversation piece and a standout acquisition for collectors of antique gambling material, fine edged weapons, Tiffany objects, women’s personal defense items, and unusual 19th-century luxury artifacts.
