Large Chinese Export Singerie Figure. Monkey Holding a Turnip

$75 USDLarge Chinese Export Singerie Figure. Monkey Holding a Turnip

Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Chinoiserie:Oriental:Chinese:China:Statue:Figurine
This large figure measures almost 14" tall, 9" across at the widest part and about 6" in diameter at the base. While we will not label it as porcelain, it is of a dense and fine clay and weighs a heavy 6 1/2 pounds. The style is referred to as 'singerie' ('monkey trick' in French); "Monkeys attired in clothing and mimicking humans in their activities". This motif has been used throughout history and was especially popular in the Rococo Era of the 18th century. As for the subject matter, we are ...
SALE Lovely Asian Motif Tin Powder Box

$15 USD SaleSALE Lovely Asian Motif Tin Powder Box

Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Chocolate Box:Candy:Trinket:Vanity:Box
This little tin powder or trinket box is so cute...so colorful and such a pleasing shape. Measuring 6 1/4" x 4 1/4" x 4 1/8" tall, the removable lid has a round wooden handle which is slightly askew. No dents on this but quite a bit of paint wear, mostly around the handle and edges. Luckily the beautiful Asian style bird and flower design remains bright and colorful on all four sides of the lid. Bottom is oxidized and engraved; "Container made in England". The gold washed interior is heavily ...
Large and Intriguing Chalk Statue from Florence Art Co.

$100 USDLarge and Intriguing Chalk Statue from Florence Art Co.

Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Plaster:Chalkware:Figure:Figurine
The Florence Art Company was founded in 1916 by immigrants from Tuscany who, in the early 50's, merged with New Italian Art to become The Florence and New Italian Art Company. They are still in business in San Francisco and produce garden art and statuary. We have written to them in hopes of finding out more about this piece. It is marked "Florence Art" so we assume that it was made prior to the merger. Measuring 30" tall and weighing about 20#, this lady is impressive. Her robes and the cactus ...
Lovely Wooden Hinged Box. Hand Painted with Charming Florals. Not Shabby & Tres Chic!

$45 USDLovely Wooden Hinged Box. Hand Painted with Charming Florals. Not Shabby & Tres Chic!

Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Vanity:Florentine:Desk Accessories:Hankerchief
This nice solid bent wood box measures 8 1/2" long, 5" wide and 2 12" tall and is in wonderful condition. Although it is unmarked we imagine that it is an example of the so-called 'Florentine' work that was imported from Italy and especially popular in the mid 20th Century. A rather unusual example, if this is the case, so we will allow it to speak for itself. Its pleasing shape and expertly hand painted posies on the lid make this an especially charming piece. The perimeter of the 'antiqued' ...

These masks made by Clay Art are becoming quite collectible and it's no wonder; they are lovely. This example is the face of a Geisha with raven black hair adorned with an interesting dark red and aqua headpiece. Two double strands of burgundy silk flowers hang from each side. The tie is made up of three ribbons; burgundy, black and dark blue. Her creamy complexion is accented with mauve and green highlighting. This is in excellent condition with very few of the craze lines commonly found on ...
SALE Gorgeous Joseph Terry Chocolate Box

$15 USD SaleSALE Gorgeous Joseph Terry Chocolate Box

Collectibles:Decorative:Biscuit:Tea:Vanity
This casket shaped paper covered cardboard chocolate box is so beautiful. It measures 8" long by 4 1/2" wide by 4 1/4" tall. The paper covering depicts pastoral scenes of 18th century Europe, possibly Holland as I see a windmill in one of the pictures. The base color is a beautiful turquoise and it is heavily ornamented with matte gold trim. The condition of this is extraordinary. No tears, stains or marks. There is some very minor color loss on the rounded edge of the dome...please see photo of ...
Beautiful Art Nouveau Cast Iron Frame with Scrolled Acanthus Leaves

$75 USDBeautiful Art Nouveau Cast Iron Frame with Scrolled Acanthus Leaves

Collectibles:Decorative:Mirror:Picture:Frame:Desk Accessories
This gracefully shaped frame probably held a mirror originally. The ornately scrolled acanthus leaves illustrate the design tastes of the late Victorian era, c.1885. Made of cast iron and plated with brass, it measures 11 1/2" tall by 9" wide. The opening is approximately 4" by 5"..please ask for more accurate dimensions..this will hold a small range of mirror or picture sizes. We have marked this nice frame at a low price due to several condition issues; there is some wear to the plating which ...
Ornate Bradley Hubbard Mirrored Wall Sconce

$95 USDOrnate Bradley Hubbard Mirrored Wall Sconce

Collectibles:Decorative
We prefer to sell our goods in 'as found' condition but this piece had a little more patina than we like to see. The brass plating appeared to be completely gone in areas but after much elbow grease we finally got through the oxidation and reached the lovely brass plating. This piece was made around the turn of the century by Bradley & Hubbard, a company noted for producing metal goods of high quality and artistic merit. The back shows their molded-in B&H mark and also the numbers 350 and 3509. ...
SALE Ornate Brass Tobacco Box with Islamic Design

$100 USD SaleSALE Ornate Brass Tobacco Box with Islamic Design

Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Tobacciana:Vanity:Persia
I tried to decipher the etching on the back of this old brass box and came up with 'Syria' which makes sense as I believe the characters are Islamic. This measures 4 3/4" by 3 1/4" by 2" high and is lined with cedar which hints at the probably use for this. The intricate strap hinges are intact as is the locking strap which fits over a small rotating tang. There are spots of wear to the brass finish on this and darkening around the hinge plates, otherwise in lovely and sound condition. Dates to ...
Charming Chalkware Wall Plaque with an Art Deco Air

$15 USDCharming Chalkware Wall Plaque with an Art Deco Air

Collectibles:Decorative:Wall Hanging
I believe that these chalkware plaques were awarded as carnival prizes back in the 'olden days'. This one is cute and is probably from the 30's as it has an art deco feel. It features muted shades of aqua, green, ivory and gold and is covered with a matte luster glaze. It measures 7 1/2" by 4 1/2" and would protrude 1 1/2" from the wall. The back is unglazed and has an embedded wire for hanging. This has the usual small bumps that are standard for this soft material and several tiny spots of ...

Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Mask:Mardi Gras:Clay Art
Another beautiful example of the ceramic masks make by Clay Art in the 1980's. Measures 8 1/2" in both height and width and is in very nice condition with no chips or cracks but exhibits the fine crazing that these often develop. Hand painted in shade of lavender, pink and teal and studded with white dots around the eye cutouts of the petal-shaped mask. The pink, green and gold ribbon streamers are threaded through holes on each side and knotted and act as the hanger. Incised on reverse; "Clay ...

Collectibles:Decorative:Biscuit:Tea:Vanity
This nice octagon shaped biscuit tin was made by H. Boorne & Stevens for Huntley & Palmer in 1954 and it is entitled "Oriental". The design is definitely that...traditional motifs done in beautiful colors with an almost porcelain-like appearance. This measures 6" x 3 3/4" x 4 1/8" tall. The condition is very nice. The hinged lid closes nicely and it is sound and square. The sides are excellent while the top shows some paint wear and shallow denting. It doesn't have quite the gloss as the sides. ...

$65 USDGorgeous Clay Art Mask in Black and Green. See Special Offer Below.

Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Mask:Mardi Gras:Clay Art
We love these wonderful ceramic masks made by Clay Art of San Francisco in the 1980's. This one is especially beautiful and measures about 16" tall by 9" wide. The hand painted porcelain complexion is highlighted by dramatic green and mauve eye shadow, soft pink full lips and blushed cheeks. The pill box 'hat' is made of dark green and black brocade and embellished with a black fabric rose and gilded braid. Topped off with shiny black feathers that drape down to frame the lovely face. In ...

A spray of stylized pink roses and other florals in gold and blue sits on a ochre background and is surrounded by a black cartouche embellished with gold scrollwork. Smaller bouquets are sprinkled around the inside of the curving lip and onto the handles. This was made of molded paper or papier mache.
