$75 USDPair of Fabulous Mid Century Geisha Girls Paintings - In Blues - Signed
Collectibles:Paintings, Prints:Mid Century Modern
Marvelous pair of Asian geisha girl paintings all done in blue hues. Swiftly and expertly painted, these were likely done as decorative art pieces for the mid century home. Based on the stretcher and way the canvas is stretched I'd say these date to the 50s or 60's. Once framed they will look fantastic in your fab retro pad! DETAILS Oil on canvas; they each measure 16" x 12"; unframed. CONDITION FINE - no flaws detected. SHIPPING Package will be shipped via UPS, insurance included. Package ...
$125 USDPretty Watercolor of a Turn of the Century Mansard Roofed House
Fine Art:Landscapes
Bold and whimsical rendering of a mansard roofed house - the setting appears to be turn of the century. This is such a lovely painting words escape me. The artist makes the architectural gem alive with movement - very expressive. The painting is not signed, and based on the framing I would say it dates to the late 60's or so. A clue exists from the stamp on the paper backing: Jones - Blair Paint and Art Center 4779 Camp Bowie PE2 3423 Fort Worth Texas I guarantee you will love this painting! ...
$70 USDRetro 60's Pair of Faux Tile Paintings Rome New York - In great shape!
Collectibles:Paintings, Prints:Mid Century Modern
Totally cool and very colorful pair of retro decorative art pieces with scenes of the highlights of Rome and New York City. Each has small drawings of major sights in these cities like the Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, the Colosseum, St Peter's Basilica, the Spanish Steps, etc. They were made to look like painted mosaic tiles, and to make it more realistic the artist created an uneven surface, including dirt between the tiles. Each piece is quite hefty, so even that ...
$175 USDHungarian Artist Portrait of a Lady - Dark & Passionate!
Fine Art:Portrait / Figurative
Striking and intense portrait of a fashionable lady with a classic chignon french twist hairdo and dangling earrings. The colors are deep - with a base of metallic copper and gold the artist lifts the image out to us with bold sweeping strokes of dark umber and flashes of turquoise. This is one of three Hungarian pieces acquired from an estate full of around the world treasures. Unfortunately, I've been unable to decipher the signature of the artist. The frame dates to c1960's or 70's based on ...
$250 USD Offers ConsideredQuiet Budapest Street Scene & Church by Hungarian Artist - Gorgeous Vintage Pastel!
Fine Art:Landscapes
Beautiful pastel on paper - the street scene shows a curved lane with a church cathedral spire hovering over. The location is probably Budapest, Hungary. It has a turn of the 20th century feel with the gas lamps and row houses. Two gentlemen are conversing in the shadows of the buildings. The artist is Hungarian, but the signature is illegible. The scene dates to early 1900's, but I am not sure when it was painted - possibly around that time. The frame dates to c1960's or 70's based on the store ...
$75 USDSet of Three Whimsical Female Portraits by Carol Lee
Collectibles:Paintings, Prints:Portrait / Figurative
A gift for the collector of all things cute and feminine! These three framed fantasy portraits of big haired, but delicate women remind me of fandango or flamenco dancers. Or maybe like a Goya portrait of a Spanish contessa... The figures are painted on a built-up background which looks like a tinted resin or poly something - it gives them depth and texture. Colorful and eye catching big hair art from the 80's! These will brighten up any dull and empty wall. DETAILS Resin or polymer or ? on ...
$550 USDImpressionist Painting - Oceanside Castle or Chateau on a Cliff - H. Clements Hassell
Fine Art:Landscapes
Quaint seaside impressionist painting by H. Clements Hassell, titled Chateau D'Orgoille. The chateau sits atop a cliff and overlooks the ocean - the location has not been identified, and possibly the artist created a bit of whimsical fantasy for us. The artist is a mystery lady, but I think this work was done by Hilary Clements Hassell. There is a Hilda Clements Hassell mentioned as an artist working during the early 20th century, but no works attributed to her. Whether they are one and the same ...

$35 USDFabulous & Colorful Vintage Dryden Footed Ash Tray Hot Springs AR
Pottery
Wow! This ash tray is a work of art in the truest sense. It triangle shaped with flared up ends and triangular feet. The glaze is amazing - kind of psychedelic with the colors and design bleeding together. Mostly shades of ochre and teal green with two accent splotches of red-orange. It is signed on the bottom, Dryden Hot Spgs Ark, and probably dates to the 1960's. The tray measures 11" each side, and about 3" high.
