$365 USDAntique Single Runner Ski / Sled - Hand Forged Iron & Original Paint
Antiques:Sports, Scouting & Athletic Equipment
Before snowboards or even Flexible Fliers, some ingenious thrill seeker devised this amazing creation. Not quite a sled, not really skis, but a combo that looks like it provides a pretty exciting ride. The intrepid passenger would sit on the seat, grip the handholds underneath on each side, push off, extended their legs like outriggers for balance, and I would guess, scream all the way down the hill. And if that isn't exciting enough, there's a hole under the seat that allows for a tow rope to ...
$195 USDEmbossed Earthenware Jug or Pitcher w/ Horse Head Thumb Rest - Arthur Wood & Son Ltd.
Pottery:By Maker:Arthur Wood & Son Ltd
A fine English pottery jug or pitcher with an unusual thumb rest in the form of a horses head. Embossed horses and riders gallop around the body of this interesting piece in a perpetual race, the action caught in a decorative frieze for us to admire. Condition is great, with no chips, cracks, hairlines, or repairs that I can see. There is some overall crazing as you might expect, and just a trace or minor staining, testament to the functional nature of this old piece. Measures 8 1/8" tall, and 7 ...
$895 USDLarge 4 Lb. Indian Clubs w/ Decorative Lathe Turned & Inlaid Design - Folk Art
Antiques:Sports, Scouting & Athletic Equipment
This fantastic pair of Indian Clubs will be a standout in any collection. Highly decorative, yet eminently usable... just beautiful antique pieces. Fashioned from at least four, or possibly five different types of wood that were joined together in layers and then hand turned on a lathe into their final graceful shape, with the star inlay likely being added last. This type of work is known today as 'segmented' or 'polychromatic' turning. Indian Clubs were introduced into this country in 1862, ...
$995 USDA Boy and His Teddy Bear - Oil on Canvas - G. Serrure
Fine Art:Paintings
Two young friends bathed in warm rosy light, share a tender moment. A filmy curtain, an oriental rug, a chair, this enchanting oil on canvas is evocative and dreamy, a simple and touching portrait of Victorian childhood. Condition is great with no real problems to report. The elaborate frame is well chosen to enhance the nostalgic quality of the image. Signed "G. Serrure". Measures 29 1/4" x 33 1/4 overall, and 20" x 24" unframed, it has a large, impressive presence. A marvelous piece whether ...
$295 USDEarly Antique Heisey Plaid Swung Vase - 24"
Glass:Antique
An impressive vase, remarkably tall and slender, in an uncommon antique Heisey pattern. Elegant and dramatic. Although this piece dates back to the turn of the 19th C into the 20th, it has a truly modern look and will appeal to many aficionados of Mid Century as well as contemporary design. The 'Plaid' pattern has no number, and Dunbar's book, 'Heisey Glass - The Early Years: 1896-1924' says "This is a very hard to find pattern with few pieces available..." I have searched for months now and ...| Items 1 - 5 of 5 | Page 1 of 1 |
