Stolen Silk Rug

The carpet was stolen in 1977. Although an older case there is reason to believe the carpet is still active in circulation and efforts to raise
awareness now may result in new leads.

The carpet was featured in a Public Service Announcement this past January on a USA Network TV series

Most all of the information and description of the carpet can be found lower down on this page:

The rewards are 1. $25,000 usd for information leading to recovery in original condition, an additional secondary reward of $2,500 which is
available as an incentive for any social networking efforts which can be substantially credited for leads resulting in recovery in original
condition.

Stolen March 21st 2012- silver coffee pot with rococo chasing

reported March 21st, 2012

On March 21st, a very recognisable silver coffee pot with rococo
chasing, made in London, 1763, by John Swift, was stolen from a member's stand at the BADA Fair. It stands 36 cm high and weighs 1475g (47.4 Troy oz).

The unusual rococo chasing employs marine and naval motifs: to one side - the area below the baluster being decorated with a sea and a frieze of bull rushes below the water line with a sea monster chasing a porpoise and Neptune with his chariot dawn by 2 horses above; to the other the sea and bull rushes have a fully developed rococo cartouche with British flags incorporated into the design. Above all of this is a garland of flowers and the spout and top are cast with rocaille decoration.

The second image shows the coat of arms of Wylie impaling Smith or Smart.

If you have any information regarding this coffee pot, please contact

Kathryn Millirons, Membership Secretary at BADA.
