Fine Art:Antique
This is so beautiful! Absolute innocence, 2 children and a young Angel embracing in the light, against an area of deep darkness. The piece is large for the time and in particularly good condition. It is signed "M. Bellot" or "M. Bellet" in the lower right corner. The style of the signature, definitely late 18th C to very early 19th, and of the portraits/hairdos and the youngest child's costume dates the piece circa 1780-1810. As a matter of fact it is dated next to the signature, though it has ...
$179 USDVintage 60s French FLORAL Painting/Watercolor Roses Peonies Vibrant Colors Signed WOW!
Fine Art:Paintings
A very happy French floral from the 1960s with a vibrant color harmony and A LOT of style! The piece is a watercolor/gouache on artist's paper and is as fresh as when it was originally painted. It shows a glass vase of roses and peonies on a rustic table covered with a blue scarf, against a motley dark brown background. Though the brush strokes are more "tormented' than an antique floral, the result is extremely cheerful, and full of energy. A very decorative piece which will look even more ...

Incredibly fresh in spirit and colors, this vintage needlepoint/ sampler from the 60s/70s has a composition, characters, decorative details and a motto to die for! You will love its pastel colors, particularly its fresh pink, its naive butterflies, fun trees with big red apples, the charming period costumes of the man and the woman, (not totally accurate for 1890 though in my opinion!)

Clothing:Womens
In the 70s and early 80s, they were called "Hot Pants", they were not meant to be worn at the gym any more, but in the big cities, with opaque tights.

Made by Frank Joseph Bastille, whose logo appears on the belt, this was a very small, exclusive collection. So you will probably be the only one to wear them!

Both Modernist and Classic, the necklace is incredibly refined and will match about any outfit. Will make a ...
$149 USDAntique French Art Nouveau Framed RELIGIOUS Litho/Print VERY ORNATE!

This is the most exquisite religious artifact! An antique Catholic "Certificate of Communion" that was granted to a little boy in France, named Marcel George. It is signed at the bottom and bears the date of his "confirmation" and his Communion. The manuscripted part is dated 1926, but the imagery is older.

$59 USDAntique EDWARDIAN/Art NOUVEAU 10k GOLD Filigree Stickpin with Ruby Very REFINED
Jewelry:Antique:Fine
An antique white gold stickpin circa 1900-1910 marked 10k, with a very refined filigree head, delicately chased, and with beautiful curves. The stickpin is set with a ruby which has an old cut and a lovely color, but I believe it is a synthetic stone of the time. However, antique stickpins set with rubies, real or synthetic are rare, (most are set with pearls, diamonds or sapphires) and of course, the contrast of the white gold and the darker red, is visually perfect! Stickpins are a world in ...

The pearls are very pearly with a lovely iridescence, (definitely not cheap looking pearls). They are free to move inside the cage, but stay stable when you wear them. What a delightful Courreges creation! Simple, elegant, and totally unique. Signed with the Courreges Logo on one earring. (I also have the necklace which I will ...
$115 USDAntique French Edwardian PAIR Long Silk Floral EMBROIDERIES/Embroidered Panels WOW!
Antiques:Textiles, Linens
Circa 1890-1900, this is a pair of matching hand embroideries on cream silk moire, with an Art Nouveau feel, which were very likely part of a home decor piece. Today, they can be integrated into curtains, a door decor, a garment, etc.. They are lined with a thin cotton fabric, and actually embroidered both through the cotton and the moire. The moire has a delicate sheen, it is also thick, and has therefore survived time without fraying. The floral embroideries are done with cotton in pink and a ...

It is long at the back, as is often the case, very ...
$199 USD Offers ConsideredVintage 1950s MICROMOSAIC/Micro MOSAIC Necklace Heart & Pendants DIVINE!
Jewelry:Vintage:Necklaces
A sophisticated micromosaic necklace from the 1950s with the most minute glass mosaic work set in ornate brass filets. Because micromosaic was very expensive jewelry at the time, most pieces that have been brought back by tourists are pins, with the occasional bracelet. So necklaces are fairly rare. Also, the mosaic work becomes much bigger later, to be nearly crude today, as the best craftspeople have disappeared. You will love the Etruscan brass settings with tiny bubbles on the side. They ...
$395 USDVintage FIGURAL Bronze/Cast Brass Ornate Photo Frame CHERUB Sailing TO DIE FOR!
Collectibles
This is the most whimsical and original photo frame! It is English, Mid-Century in age, and is a cast brass/bronze, probably inspired by a Georgian or Louis XV piece.

The top is openwork and features the rigs and the ornate flag. 2 more delightful details: the cherub holds a torch to light the way, and the boat is full of roses! The piece still has its ...

Antiques:Textiles, Linens
This piece matches the fantastic large crochet throw # 1487EMB and was hand made in the French countryside during the Edwardian era, circa 1900. It is in remarkable condition. Having no wear, it should last another Century easily! The piece is very 3D and has the most lovely crochet dangles. I believe it was originally meant as a shelf valance.
