Seven hand made by Frances Gabe pendants on chains, mostly agate and all measuring approximately 18" long.
One chain without pendant.
From the estate of Frances Gabe, creator of the world’s first and only self-cleaning home. Newberg, Oregon’s very own local celebrity inventor was once known around the world after being featured in The New York Times, People, The Guardian, on Phil Donahue’s talk show and in Chuck Palahniuk’s book about the curious characters around Portland, Oregon titled “Fugitives and Refugees”. Gabe’s feisty and spirited persona drove her to invent, build and patent a home that could - at the push of a button - activate ceiling sprinklers, suds the walls and floors, dry surfaces, clean laundry, bathrooms and then even be channeled outside to wash the dog! She was a woman ahead of her time and embodied the independent thinking that Oregon has become known for. Her creativity expanded beyond the self-cleaning house to art in the form of sketches, jewelry, pottery and more. We are happy to present this collection of her work which displays her eccentric vision and creativity.
