$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 ...

Made in the 1870's and in the Etruscan Revival tradition, these earrings feature fine granulation and cut-out scroll work. They are at least 15K but not 18K which is typical of English made jewelery of the time. One of the best features of these earrings are the way the ear hooks are hinged. This enables the ...

Wearing a strapless white top, this charming lady is posing with one arm on her hip and the other angled towards her neck. She is in excellent condition and measures 3" x 3".

$185 USDBeautiful Volkstedt Porcelain Figurine of Dancer

As you will see in the photo of the bottom of the base, someone had covered the base with a felt covering and when ...
$395 USDGorgeous Framed Olive Green Jasperware Plaque - Woman with Lyre and Putto
Pottery:Jasperware:Plaque
This is one of the more unique plaques I have had the pleasure to handle. The size is quite wonderful because just about everyone can find a sliver of wall somewhere in there home that this would be perfect for! Framed it measures 14" tall x 6" wide. The plaque is dark olive green jasperware with the diaphanously clad figure of a long-haired beauty playing a lyre. She seems to be floating as she is higher than her little angelic violin-playing playmate of a putto who is perched on a tree limb. A ...
$110 USDClassic Art Deco Period Porcelain Half Doll from Germany
Porcelain:Decorative & Figurines:Half Dolls
My personal fave! She is also the largest of this group (see last photo to see group). Her bobbed hair and stand up color and geometric appearance put her smack in the middle of the 19teens-30s in Germany. She is in excellent condition and measures 3 1/2" x 1 3/4". You can see that she bears an impressed Germany mark as well as some impressed number (unreadable). Because she is not marked "Made in " Germany, I suspect she was made in the teens rather than in the later part of the Art Deco period ...
$38 USDTeeny Germany Porcelain Half Doll Holding Flower
Porcelain:Decorative & Figurines:Half Dolls
This is one of the sweetest of our group of half dolls. She is very small at only 2 1/2" tall. She is incised Germany on reverse along with incised numbers. She is in excellent condition. She is holding a yellow rose and has some in her hair as well. The last photo shows others for sale.

Pre-WWII, this charming figurine shows a seated King Charles Spaniel atop an aqua and pink cushion. He looks extremely King Charles-like (if you know what I mean)!

He is in excellent condition.

Make sure to see closeups for details of the raised gold and painting. I find no condition issues with this vase. No chips, cracks, or repairs. Some ...
$225 USDOriental Jade Sculpture of Grapes and Vines
Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Asian
We are in the process of redecorating one of our rooms and have decided to part with this vintage sculpture which has held a prominent position on one end of our cabinet. It is 15" high x 13" wide and 3 1/2" deep.

$1,495 USDExquisite 1945 Large 18" Royal Crown Derby Old Imari Lidded Vase/Urn
Porcelain:Royal Crown Derby
Wonderful item! This Old Imari pattern by Royal Crown Derby was handpainted and gilded. It is the large sized one at 18". It has a lot of gold tracery work on the deep cobalt ground. The handles are amazing! Royal Crown Derby pieces like this are so incredibly hard to find intact and especially with the lid in one piece! Worth every penny! Some gold wear on the lid and some gold dulling on various places. The piece came out of an estate where there were smokers and the dealer I bought it from ...
$995 USDAntique 14K Gold Sapphire and Rosecut Diamond Skinny Hinged Bangle Bracelet
Jewelry:Antique:Fine
This is a wonderful Victorian era bangle bracelet. It is in excellent condition. The sapphires are a deep blue that can be seen through when held up to a light. The bracelet tapers slightly so the stones graduate from the largest in the center to the smallest on either side. The center also forms a slight rise to the shape of the bangle. As always, sapphires and diamonds make a great combination and this piece is no exception! All the diamonds are rose cut. Now...click on any picture to see ...

$75 USDPair of Ecru Crocheted Gloves and Drawstring Purse ca. 1900
Collectibles:Textiles:Gloves And Purses
These antique items are in excellent, wearable condition. Because they are crocheted, the gloves are stretchy and should fit a medium to large hand.

The gloves measure approx. 8" long x 3 1/4" across (it stretches as much as an inch so don't be afraid they won't fit if you are an average to large).
