$2,995 USD Offers Considered19th Century Oil on Canvas - Listed Artist - Landscape
Antiques:Art:Oil Painting:Signed
This expertly executed oil on canvas is in its original period frame. It is signed "Andersen" (the letter A has a right facing serif which makes it appear as conjoined "AF" making it look like the signature is "A. Findeisen". Also, the letter "n" is separated at the top making it appear as a letter "i". Then the letter "r" is separated such that it looks like a dot over an "i" but on close inspection it all makes sense and is absolutely the name Andersen). The painting image is 20" x 16". The ...
$149 USDAntique Gold Plated and Mother-of-Pearl Parasol Handle
Antiques:Accessories
This charming antique item originally was a handle for a parasol. Today, many people have these made into handles for a large magnifying glass that they then display on a desktop. Or, when possible, have them made into cane handles. Personally, I think they are lovely by themselves in a display of Victorian period items. This one features an 8 sided waisted central portion made from mother-of-pearl panels. The top and bottom portions are heavily chased scroll patterns made from gold plated metal ...

$125 USDVery Heavy Tall 11 1/2" Brass Candlesticks
Antiques:Candlesticks
What a pleasing form! Very versatile too. Because of how they are made, these could be electrified and made into lamps quite easily. There is a narrow tube that goes all the way through where wiring can be strung. The sticks are even on 3/8" feet so a cord could be put to the side. The feet are extensions of the base. The base diameter is 4 1/2". There are numbers (E1185) incised in the base. Unable to determine country of origin or maker. These are not new reproductions or imports from the ...

Excellent condition. Framed under glass. The frame is a vintage, shadow-box style and the interior is gilded while the ...
$168 USDLemaire Paris Abalone/Mother of Pearl Opera Glasses Binoculars
Antiques:Accessories:Opera Glasses:Binoculars
There are a couple of unique features to this pair of opera glasses. One feature is that they are indeed properly hallmarked on both the eyepiece and underside of the brasses in the center as having been made by Lemaire of Paris (bee hallmark too). The other eyepiece is hallmarked with "The Harvey & Lewis Co." USA which is probably the establishment that sold them. They are inlaid in what I believe to be abalone shell, but I have seen referred to as black or dark mother-of-pearl. Either way the ...
