$875 USD ReducedREDUCED ASTOUNDING 7 1/2" Georgian Paste-Set Magnifier, 1795!
Antiques:Accessories:Vanity Items/Magnifying Glasses/Paste/Silver/18th-century
Dating to ca. 1790-1800, this is easily the MOST impressive example of Georgian paste that I have offered on Ruby Lane this year, and I have never seen anything quite like it! This majestic magnifier measures 7 1/2" long, and 3" wide! Even more miraculous, it has survived over two centuries win ALL-ORIGINAL condition! This objet d'art falls into the category of "functional jewel," as its obvious purpose is to magnify; the bevel-edged, hand-ground lens give a very high level of magnification. But ...
$250 USDPRE-COLUMBIAN Textile Fragment, Framed, c.400 AD!
Antiques:Textiles:Pre-columbian/Nazca
Dating to ca. 200-600 AD, this splendid Pre-Columbian Nazca textile fragment is a superb example of ancient Peruvian weaving, and is matted and framed to grace any room! The Nazca culture of coastal southern Peru flourished between 200 BCE and 850 AD. The Nazca are most famous for their skill in textile weaving, and this example from the Classical Period (250-750 AD) is a genuine treasure! Measuring 5" x 4 1/2" at the longest and widest points, this beautiful ancient textile features figures of ...
$180 USDSPECIAL 1/4 Plate Studio Dag of Teenaged Beauty, c.1857!
Antiques:Art:Daguerrotypes
Dating to ca. 1855-1860, this large 1/6 plate American daguerreotype of a pretty young lady is a marvel of early photography! When I look for fine daguerreotypes, my main interest is in the pleasing aspect of the subject, and superb examples of period costume. This example has all of the bells and whistles! This image depicts a young lady of perhaps 16 years old. This light-eyed brunette beauty clearly comes from a wealthy family; she wears an up-to-the-minute costume, but her black silk dress ...
$1,950 USDGREAT Oil Portrait of a Federal American Surgeon, Dr. John Huston, c.1825!
Antiques:Art:Oil/Portraits/American
Dating to ca. 1820-1830, this important oil on acadamy board portrait of a Federal American surgeon comes directly from my personal collection of early American art! This portrait represents an important record of a prosperous surgeon in Federal America, and will make a wonderful addition to any collection of American art. Its size is perfect for display in any room, and although unsigned, it is painted with an academic hand. It has strongly been suggested by a Maryland museum curator that this ...
$1,895 USDOLD MASTER Oil on Copper Miniature of a Lady, ca.1650!
Antiques:Art:Portrait Miniatures:17th Century
Dating to ca. 1650, this Dutch oil on copper portrait miniature of a lady comes straight out of my own private collection of fine, early portrait miniatures. This museum-quality, mid-17th-century Dutch portrait miniature is painted by the hand of an unknown Old Master, and has all of the skillful technique and mysterious charm of a Rembrandt! This miniature is painted in oils on a copper ground, and depicts a young lady of about 25 years of age. This handsome beauty boasts dark brunette hair ...
SOLDSOLD GREAT Chinese Nephrite Jade Hsi-Pi Pendant, Mythical Beasts, c.1750!
Antiques:Chinese/Jades/Mythological Beasts
Conservatively dating to the middle of the middle of the 18th century, but possibly as early as Ming Dynasty, this beautifully-carved early Qing dynasty nephrite hsi-pi pendant is a rare treasure! Measuring 2 3/4" long x 1 1/4" wide x over 1/4" thick, this superb work of Chinese art is carved from medium green nephrite (not quite blue enough to call celadon). This carving is exquisite;the front features two creatures with lions heads with elongated, mythological bodies, and each sporting the ...
SOLDSOLD RARE Georgian Jasperware Cameo Perfume Flask, c.1790!
Antiques:Accessories:Vanity Items/Perfume Flask/Jasperware/18th-century
Dating to c.1780-1800, this is one beautiful example of a late 18th-century Wedgwood-style perfume flask! Although unmarked, this lovely and early vanity item was either produced by the firm of Wedgwood & Co., or Adams - both firms produced beautifully-crafted jasperware beginning c.1760, and this perfume flask is typical of the vanity items manufactured by these two English competitors. Measuring 3 1/2" long x 1" wide x just under 1/2" thick, this breath-taking flask is crafted from biscuit ...| Items 1 - 7 of 7 | Page 1 of 1 |
