$125 USDDolphin Form Utility Hook
Antiques:Architectural
Wonderful 19th Century architectural item here. Cast in iron, it is a hook in the dolphin form. These hooks were used for hanging things from the large wood mantle, like cooking pots & hearth utensils & from the ceiling, candle & oil burning lamps. In those days of the 19th century this was no doubt something very special, when you figure that the average necessary hook was just a hand forged simple one made at the local blacksmith.

Collectibles:Paintings, Prints
Here is a rather nice vintage pencil drawing dog portrait. The work is exceptional with tinges of pastel or chalk highlighting on the subject. This little guy has a wonderfully pensive face.

$325 USDCats Kittens Oil Painting Gold Gilt Frame Folk Art Style
Fine Art:Paintings
Here is one of my favorite subjects CATS! This painting is so quaint and cute – these two little cuddly kittens just want some love and affection. As you can see there is a little grey kitten and a little white one. The work is very academic but the subject, frame and use of color is fabulous. I have never before seen a painting quite like this one – I’m not quite sure what it is painted on – I think it is some type of board though it may be tin/metal. This painting also has a very folk art feel ...

It is interesting there is an article from an old Art & Antiques Magazine where it covers several patterns made by the Dorflinger Company. In the article, it states that the making of this glass required no less then five separate acid baths and that these large floral ...
