$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 ...

$399 USDUnusual Subject - Harp Player Three Quarter Figure Miniature Painting on Ivory
Antiques:Art
On ivory, this lovely antique miniaturist painting of a woman in three quarter view is quite unusual. Unusual because of the view and the subject matter - musical - playing the harp.

$180 USDWhimsical Comical Miniature Austrian Bronze Cold Painted Dachsund/Doxie Dog w/Dogs!
Antiques:Art:Sculpture:Bronze:Miniatures
This mini-mini measures only 2 3/4" long x 3/4" high. Adorable! He (anatomically) appears rather sheepishly with his mouthful of hotdogs in full gait! Cold painted Austrian bronze. Some paint flaking. Impressed numbers on belly (band around middle is my price tag). He has black eyes and nose and a rusty brown color coat which is the same color on the hotdogs. His collar is green. There is some lighter color around his eyes (beige-y) which gives him a rather startled look (like he was caught in ...

In a rectangular wooden frame finished in black with a dark metal ring surrounding the oval opening, this wonderful portrait is also signed. There are several more miniature portraits listed individually so please make sure to view them all.

It is handpainted. This lady is wearing a deep blue dress with a ...

$225 USDExquisite Handpainted Framed and Signed Miniature Portrait
Antiques:Art:Miniature Portrait
Personally, I think she is the prettiest lady of all the portraits listed. A classically beautiful face plus her dress is amazingly detailed with all the lace on the sleeves and on the bodice. The blue satin sash is so well done you feel you can touch it! It is in a rectangular wooden frame finished in black with a dark metal ring surrounding the oval opening. There are several more miniature portraits listed individually so please make sure to view them all. There is glass covering the portrait ...
$210 USDAntique Austrian Miniature Bronze Doxie/Dachsund Black and Brown Cold Painted Wiener Dog
Antiques:Art:Sculpture:Bronze:Miniatures
As you will see in the group photo below, this miniature which itself is very small, is about twice the size as the other Austrian bronze miniature I have recently listed! This one looks like a show dog. Beautiful schnoz on this one. It is cold painted bronze and has some paint flaking (gold spots are apparent in photo). Black snout and brown cheeks and under neck. Dark brown eyes with black pupils. Brown underbelly and collar. Anatomically a male.
$395 USDSigned Meiji Period Silver Cloisonne Vase
Antiques:Art:Cloisonne
This stunning cloisonne vase has fine silver wires as well as rims, top and bottom! Lovely floral design with a bird on a solid black enamel ground. This vase is in superb condition with no chips, cracks, repairs, etc. It measures 7 1/2" in height. The signature is on the black enamel base as well as on the silver rim (see last photo enlargements). It looks like a stylized image of Mt. Fuji with an "S" shaped river in front of it. The rims were tested and were positive for fine silver (925/1000 ...
$350 USDUnusual Large Miniature Austrian Viennese Bronze Bird on Leaf
Antiques:Art:Sculpture:Bronze:Miniatures
This is another precious miniature Austrian bronze figure discovered in an antique shop in Brooklyn, New York around 50 years ago. A sharp eye picked this piece out of a bunch of "stuff" the antique dealer had just acquired out of an estate. What a lucky find. Typically you might find an Austrian bronze of just the bird. But here the bird is mounted on a bronze leaf that in itself is extraordinary. It is extremely realistically sculpted and cold painted. The little bird - looks like a baby ...
SOLDSOLD Antique Chinese Carved Soapstone Vase w/Birds
Antiques:Art:Oriental:Soapstone Carvings
This is one of a group of 3 (see last photo for grouping) and is the tallest of the three at 7 3/4" tall x 5 1/2" wide. It features very intricately and deeply carved flowers (peonies, I think) and birds with foliage. The vase is predominantly shades of rust with a lighter, mottled, celadon green in the background. Very good condition. Artfully executed.
SOLDSOLD French Antique Art Nouveau Gilt Metal and Marble Statue of La Beaute
Antiques:Art:Sculpture:Art Nouveau
This is a perfect cabinet piece! This petite sculpture is obviously French (vis a vis the plaque entitled "La Beaute" with an accent mark over the "e"). It measures 6" x 3" and is 1 5/8" square at the base. The base and pedestal are of white marble. We assume the metal is pot metal and not bronze. It is gilded over the metal. Very pretty and goes perfectly in a grouping of miniature beautiful creatures! Nicer in person.| Items 1 - 24 of 24 | Page 1 of 1 |
