How to sell

A silver ring, by Mosheh Oved
Modelled as a lamb with hammered design body, the base engraved with Hebrew inscription "Where is the house of my father", circa 1940, finger size M

Mosheh Oved originally intended to become a rabbi but eventually trained as a watch maker.
Initially based in Fetter Lane, Holborn, he moved to 1, New Oxford Street and in 1938 opened 'Cameo Corner' at 26, Museum Street, Bloomsbury. The shop was patronised by royalty, including Queen Mary, connoisseurs, collectors and dealers.
Mosheh Oved created a series of rings in the form of various animals, the first was a lamb which he made from his own cufflinks after being informed of the death of a client's son who had been killed in action.

The inscription is probably taken from the expression 'My Father's House', and refers in the Gospels to the temple of Jerusalem (John 2:16 Luke 2:49)
