19th Century Oil on Canvas - Listed Artist - Landscape

$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 ...

$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 ...

Unusual Large Miniature Austrian Viennese Bronze Bird on Leaf

$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 ...
SOLD Antique Chinese Carved Soapstone Vase w/Birds

SOLDSOLD Antique Chinese Carved Soapstone Vase w/Birds

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.
SOLD French Antique Art Nouveau Gilt Metal and Marble Statue of La Beaute

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.
