As of Jan. 1, 2024, Ivory had 1,917 homes under construction — 667 traditional Ivory homes and 1,250 apartment homes, student housing or affordable town houses for its nonprofit arm, Ivory Innovations. From our first engagement we connected with Georgia’s calm and engaged style, she was able to quickly reflect our needs and desires in her recommendations. We initially only had her for a part of the scope, however recognised that her skills would deliver us a much better outcome if carried through the entire project. Thus 18 months later, a full design commissioned and delivered, we now enjoy the luxe comfort that we desired. By good fortune we were introduced to Georgia -recognising our desire for a clean and luxury aesthetic for our new home near Berry.
The Ivy Desserts
The Kurkh Stela (also in Room 6 at the Museum) records more of Shalmaneser’s exploits, including his victory at the Battle of Qarqar, the largest known battle up to that time in history. The monument lists the combatants — and one of the countries defeated by Shalmaneser was the Northern Kingdom of Israel, led by Ahab. Servicing the Eastern suburbs of Sydney, the Southern Highlands and surrounds, our offerings also extend to an Australia-wide flower delivery service, focusing on exquisite orchids, a selection of one-of-a-kind homewares and Tony Assness candles. SAN FRANCISCO (January 7, 2015) – Every 15 minutes, an African elephant is killed for its tusks. And some of that ivory ends up right here on store shelves in California. Dedicating this entrepreneurial endeavor to her young daughter Ivy, the salon’s namesake, sets an important precedent for female empowerment & independence in the “House” & within the local community.
The Bible in the British Museum
Ahab had an “ivory house” — this could possibly mean a house actually made of ivory, but it is much more likely that it meant a palace which was full of ivory decorations. These items, in Room 57 of the British Museum, were found in Samaria, Ahab’s capital city, and date from around the time of Ahab. They, like the ivory items at Fort Shalmaneser, are Phoenician in style. House of Ivory is a multidisciplinary creative studio specialising in intuitive, feel-good design. Highly skilled in collaborative and considered curation, we create memorable concepts in residential interior design,shaping uniquely inviting spaces that are luxury you want to live in. Ivory owners are quite educated on the current laws relating to their collections, unfortunately many estate sale clients aren’t the actual collectors themselves but may be family members when you’re hired to host an estate sale.

Ivy Lunch and Dinner
If you think the score board is ‘Archaeology – 1, Bible – 0’, it isn’t quite as simple. Reliance on the Bible for the interpretation of archaeological evidence is very much like the reliance of any textual evidence. Although historical archaeology is said to be the “handmaiden to history”, it isn’t quite so.
Can Estate Ivory Items Be Sold Within State Lines?
During the course of estate sales, there are many other items you’ll run into such as alcohol, firearms, safety regulation issues for car seats, cribs, etc… that you must also consider and educate yourself, and your staff about. The estate sale industry is not currently regulated by a governing body. However, veteran estate sale professionals understand the risks involved and tend to stay away from items prohibited for sale by federal, state, and/or local government. When the ban was first announced, it left antique dealers, and auction houses in a tough spot! Many of them do not have proof of age to meet the requirements, and certified dating tests are costly, making it virtually impossible to liquidate all the ivory items they had on their shelves. Almost all companies know there’s an ivory trade ban, yet a quick online search will lead to various ivory carvings listed for sale, this tends to cause a bit of confusion leaving many wondering whether to sell, destroy, or donate the ivory items they find.
House of Ivory acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land we live and work on, the Bidjigal and Gadigal peoples. We pay respect to the Elders of the Eora Nation, past and present, and extend that respect to all other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today. Like all cut flowers, orchids naturally have a limited lifespan, but by following a few care tips, you can maximise their longevity. Trim their stems on an angle before placing them into a vase filled with clean, room-temperature water. Treat them gently and avoid direct sunlight, drafts and heat, and they’ll stay pretty longer.
What Qualifies As an ESA Antiques Exemption?
The federal wildlife laws and regulations DO NOT prohibit donating or gifting an ivory item. If you are allowed to sell ivory in your state, or meet the exemption requirements for interstate sales, you do not need a permit from the U.S. If your state does allow the sale of ivory, you must now make sure you abide by the federal law and be ready to produce documents required to justify the sale within your state if asked. From figurines to carvings, mini netsuke collections, pianos and violins that have ivory components, and much more.
I had the pleasure of working with Georgia who oversaw both the fitout and soft furnishing of our head office and showroom. Georgia understood the functional needs of the business and married this with our design brief, delivering a classic but contemporary end result on time and on budget. Thanks to Georgia, our small and narrow terrace came to life with a perfectly planned layout, a beautiful colour palette and well-chosen furniture and styling. We are thrilled with the final result and couldn't have achieved it without her meticulous attention to detail and patience. Georgia's talent, maturity and passion for design were evident in every decision she made. She understood our brief perfectly and always ordered samples to ensure they were the best fit for our home before making any decision - her efforts were always above and beyond.
Under California law, it’s illegal to import, possess with intent to sell, or sell any elephant part. But a loophole allows the purchase and sale of ivory imported prior to 1977. So many items are advertised as antiques or crafted to look older so they’ll appear legal under California law.
Mitchell, the Samaria find included winged sphinxes — like the one from Fort Shalmaneser pictured above. What they do show us is that the smaller cache found in Samaria was representative (in its idolatrous elements) of Phoenician ivory carvings — the kind of ivories a Phoenician princess like Jezebel would use to decorate a palace. Specialists in residential interior and floral design, House of Ivory is a multi-skilled creative studio with a nous for executing timeless design and considered, liveable spaces.
Sign up for House of Ivory news, exclusive offers, and (of course) our signature orchids. Georgia was invaluable in sourcing and selecting all of the finishes for our new home, in addition to furnishing the house in a way that perfectly complemented the architecture- in the most sophisticated way! We were so grateful for her expertise, industry contacts and guidance throughout the entire process.

The first problem involves the question of what is meant by an ‘ivory palace’. One may envision an ivory palace to be a building somehow constructed literally from ivory (that’s what I’d imagine anyway). After all, if King Ahab were to be depicted as a really wealthy king, this would be a pretty good way to do so.
There are a few exceptions, including transfers to legal heirs, musical instruments comprised of less than 20 percent of ivory or rhino horn, and bona fide antiques comprised of less than 5% of ivory or rhino horn. The bill also increases penalties for those trafficking in ivory and rhino horn to up to $50,000 or an amount equal to two times the value of the wildlife involved in the violation, whichever is greater, and/or one year in prison. More than 100,000 elephants were killed by poachers between 2010 and 2012, leading some scientists to predict that African forest elephants could be extinct within the decade.
