$395 USDBeautifully Carved Black Forest Box
Antiques:Black Forest Carved
This expertly carved walnut box is in excellent condition. One side of the lid just a tiny bit warped as can be seen in the photo of the front view. The inside is lined with velvet. It too is in good condition. It measures 11" x 8.5" x 5".
$450 USDLarge Beautifully Detailed Model Ship
Antiques:Accessories
Beautifully detailed ships model! Wonderful condition for its age. Only thing missing is a little of the blue stripe around the center of the ship. There is also a few little water stains on the 3 of the sails as seen in the photos. The little life boats swing, the ships wheel turns, and everything is so detailed. Note the 2 little sets of wooden stairs, and the all of the rigging, and the rope stairs going up each mast. It measures 25.5" long x 20.75" high, and it is about 4" deep.
$1,395 USDFrench Beaded Crystal Chandelier with Amber Drop Prisms
Antiques:Lamps, Lighting:Chandelier:Bronze:Crystal
Beautiful and all original, with the faceted beads, and crystal drops and prisms. Wonderful working condition. Early 1900's. It measures 22" high x 13" wide
$195 USDUnusual Hand Carved Pig Game
Antiques:Toys:Folk Art
This is as cute as it can be!! The object of the game is to get your pig up the ramp and into the trough at the center top. There are little strings attached to a spool system inside the pigs bellies. By pulling the string, the pigs back legs move forward, and catch on a slot higher up on the ramp. When you release the string, the pigs hind legs spring back into position, which propels the pig up the ramp. You can move the pig up the ramp by 1, 2, or 3 slots on the ramp, depending on how much ...
$3,400 USD19th Century Swedish Painted Chest of Drawers with Harlequin Top
Antiques:Furniture:Swedish
Beautifully painted, this chest would be at home in any room. The size is easy to use in the living room, bedroom, bath or entryway. Very unusual with its harlequin painted top. The paint is not the original but it has a nice patina. It was probably done much later than when the chest was made. It is in very good condition. It measured 42 1/2" wide x 18 1/2" deep x 31" high.
$750 USDOutstanding Chandelier with French Opaline Glass Beads & Prisms
Antiques:Lamps, Lighting:Chandelier
Beautiful, simple, and elegant. This chandelier has French Opaline Glass beads and drop prisms combined with amber drop prisms. It is in nice working condition. It measures 14" wide x 30" high with the chain and ceiling canopy. It is 20" high with out the chain. I have not had it rewired, it is as I purchased it, but the wiring seems to be in good condition.
$195 USD Offers ConsideredBlack Lacquered Paper Mache Wall Letter Holder
Antiques:Accessories
This would look great hanging beside a desk. Its in great condition and measures 9 ½ wide x 12 high. I think that this one dates to around the turn of the century.
$395 USDBeautifully Carved Pine Fish Wall Hanging Late 19th Century
Antiques:Accessories:Carved Wood
this fellow has been skillfully carved from a single piece of pine. From the gently curving tail to the minutely carved scales and fins, there has been a very close attention to detail. He was then carefully veined and painted, as can be seen in the pictures. Wonderful condition and patina. He measures 19.5" long x 9" h x 1" thick.
$1,600 USDBeautiful French 19th Century Inlaid Basket Weave Ladies Writing Desk
Antiques:Furniture:French
The beautifully inlaid basket weave design is on all sides and the top of this desk. It still has the original leather insert on the writing top. Both the leather top and the whole desk is in beautiful condition. The clock has been electrified, so it no longer has the original clock mechanism. The clock face is original though. I believe that the green glass was probably added at a later time, probably around 1910 or 1920. It adds a beautiful touch to the piece. It measures 26 1/2" wide x 18 1/2 ...
$395 USDRare Ivory Tusk Late 19th Century Pocket Watch Holder
Antiques:Accessories:Pocket Watch Holder
This watch holder is a spectacular example of a victorian watch holder. It is made from a section of tusk with an ornately chased brass hook for the watch. Other than a small age crack at the very top as seen in the photo, it is in very good condition. It has a wonderful patina and size. I have never seen another like it. It is shown with a pocket watch with a 1 3/8" diameter, but will accommodate a larger watch. Size is 5" high x 3.5" deep x 2.75" wide.
$395 USDStriking World Globe on Wood Base with Compass
Antiques:Medical & Scientific
Large terrestrial globe in surprisingly fine condition with only minor surface loss. From looking at the countries, I believe that this is from around 1930. It lists Iran as Persia which changed in 1935, so it has to be prior to 1935. The globe is made of paper mache and the colors are still bright. The base is made of wood with a nice rich patina, and there is a little compass inset into it. There is just a tiny bit of age distress to the varnish on the wood, but considering its age, it is what ...
$995 USDSpectacular Silver Plated Putti Taza with Art Glass Bowl
Antiques:Accessories
Every element of this late 19th century piece is nothing short of spectacular. The base by itself is stunning, but then add the wonderful fluted art glass bowl, and WOW! I think that the bowl could be Loetz, but I'm not sure. This piece is in exceptional condition, with no nicks or chips to the bowl. Beautiful patina on the silver plate. It measures 14.5" high and the bowl is 8" wide.
$3,900 USDSpectacular 19th Century French Painted & Gilt Carved Console Table
Antiques:Furniture:French
With its original gilt and paint, this console is a show stopper. Beautiful marble top, but the marble has a crack which has been repaired. It is a good solid repair. See picture #9. The finish has a great patina with just enough worn through to give a great look. It has one small missing piece of scroll on the side which shows in picture #8. It is a nice large size measuring 48"w at the top and 22" d. It is 49 1/2" wide at the widest part of the legs. It is 38" high. It has a center drawer for ...
$5,600 USDLate 18th or early 19th century Danish Bornholm Tall Case Floor Clock
Antiques:Clocks, Timepieces
What a stunning piece of workmanship!! Bornholm is an island off the coast of Sweden where this type of clock was made. These unique clocks were individually made by the local farmers during the harsh winters when it was impossible to tend the land. In spring they would take them to town and sell them to raise money for seeds and other needs. Since they are all hand made, they vary in the intricacy of the work. This one is truly a piece of art!! It measures 83 ½ high, and 24 wide at the bottom ...
$345 USDExquisitely Detailed Silverplated Child Riding on a Turtle
Antiques:Accessories:Silverplate
This little boy riding on his turtle is much more detailed than the pictures show. I found it hard to photograph it without getting a glare off of the silver, and still show the detail. Complete with reins it is as sweet as it can be. I believe that it was originally mounted on top of something, acting like a finial. Perhaps on a dome or something similar. It appears to have been cut off, as can be seen in the photo of the bottom. It is in good condition with a nice patina. It is 5" high and it ...
$1,850 USDImpressive French Iron with Gold Acanthus Leaf Chandelier
Antiques:Lamps, Lighting
Dating from the early 1900's this french chandelier is a beauty, with it's original paint. It has not been rewired, so it is sold with its wiring in "as is" condition, but it does work. It is large, with the chandelier itself measuring 35" from top to bottom and 26" wide. You can add another 28" for the chain length and lovely acanthus leaf canopy.
$795 USDBeautiful Petite Chandelier with Porcelain Flowers
Antiques:Lamps, Lighting
This little beauty has a pair of matching wall sconces that are listed separately (item #2763T). Many times the porcelain flowers on these are chipped and broken, but this one is in wonderful condition. I took closeups of the flowers to show their condition. This came from the estate of a German lady who came to this country in the 40's. She added the small white cloth shades which are included. I believe that she must have added the small beveled scalloped mirror which rests against the top ...
$3,200 USD19th Century English Tall Case Floor Clock by Henry Bunyan
Antiques:Clocks, Timepieces:Long Case
This is a beautiful long case clock. A nice addition to any decor. The face is signed Henry Bunyan of Lincoln. It is in good working condition and keeps accurate time. It is 83" tall x 18 1/2" wide x 9 1/2" deep.
$495 USDLarge French Pottery Confit Jar
Antiques:Accessories
Beautiful old confit jar, the patina of which can only evolve from the passage of time, the hot provencal sun and Mother Nature; this look cannot be duplicated by man. It measures 12" high. It is in very good condition inside and out with only glaze losses expected in utilitarian pieces of this age. Circa 1840
$295 USDSwedish Arts & Crafts Copper Jardiniere
Antiques:Accessories:Arts And Crafts:Copper
Here is a pristine example of the Arts & Crafts (Jugend in Sweden) period. Where art was combined with craftsmanship. Look at the finely detailed spider and web design. Wonderful condition and patina. It is signed Helge Holmberg from Eskilstuna. Size is 7.5" h x 10" d.
$450 USDSuperb French Beveled Crystal Sedan Chair Watch Holder
Antiques:Accessories:Pocket Watch Holder
Beautifully detailed and in fine original condition. The tufted silk lining is original also, showing only the wear that you would expect to find in a piece of this age. It is shown with a pocket watch that has a diameter of 1.25". It will accommodate a much larger watch. It is 4 " high.
$950 USDLarge 19th Century French Pottery Confit Bowl
Antiques:French Confit Pottery
Hard to find large sized bowl. Nice yellow and condition. The patina of which can only come from the passage of time, the hot provincial sun, and Mother Nature; this look cannot be duplicated by man. Size is: 18" wide at the top x 7.5" deep. It has glaze chips as should be expected in utilitarian pieces of this age. It dates to about 1850.
$5,800 USDLate Eighteenth Century Danish Corner Cabinet
Antiques:Furniture
The pictures do not do justice to this stunning cabinet. Painted a wonderful soft blue with just enough gilt embellishments to make it "pop". The inside has probably been repainted within the last 20 years. The rest of the paint is much much older with a nice patina. The lock does not work and I don't think that it is original to the piece. The nice face plate on the outside of the door does seem right though. The cabinet separates into 2 pieces for easier shipment. It measures 84.5" high x 36" ...
$425 USD Offers ConsideredLarge French Old Paris Porcelain Perfume Bottle
Antiques:Accessories
I bought this one in France. It was one of a pair, but I am keeping one for myself (little oinker that I am). Of the late 19th century, it is in beautiful condition with minor wear to the gold and paint. I think that the stopper has either been repaired or repainted, as the gold is not quite the same. It is the same with both of the bottles, but you dont notice it and it does not detract from the bottle. These big lovely perfume bottles are very hard to find. It is 8 ½ high x 3 wide.
$6,200 USDLate 18th Century Swedish Chinoiserie Tall Case Floor Clock
Antiques:Clocks, Timepieces
Chinoiserie refers to a recurring theme in European artistic styles since the seventeenth century, which reflects Chinese art and is characterized by the use of fanciful imagery of an imaginary China. Chinoiserie entered the European repertory in the mid-to-late seventeenth century; its popularity peaked around the middle of the eighteenth century, when it was easily assimilated into rococo. This clock is one of the finest representations of European Chinoiserie that I have had the pleasure of ...
$1,950 USD Offers ConsideredEarly 19th Century French Pounded Iron Chandelier
Antiques:Lamps, Lighting:Chandelier:Iron
Stunning craftsmanship and all original. The hand pounded iron and the design of this piece is spectacular. It is not wired for electricity, but it can be easily done because someone has already drilled holes in the bobaches to run the wire from the arms up through to the candle cups. But it is lovely with just the candles. Nice large size, measuring 28" high x 28" wide.
$425 USDExquisitely Carved Dogs Head with Sterling Band Cane Top
Antiques:Accessories:Canes:Walking Sticks
This wonderful piece was originally on a walking stick or cane. It would also be great on the handle of a large magnifying glass. The design and carving is of unparalleled quality. It has ruby glass (??) eyes and is in great condition. It measures overall 4.75" tall x 1.75" from back of hat to front of dog. The connecting band is of sterling silver
$950 USD19th Century French Marquetry Inlaid Jardiniere
Antiques:Accessories:Jardiniere
The graceful serpentine shape of this jardiniere highlights the inlay of exotic woods. The gilt ormolu completes the piece. This just arrived on my latest shipment. It does not have its' tin liner. There are a few minor veneer loses on the top adjacent to where the liner should go. Probably from water damage. They are not very noticeable. It measures 15" w x 9 1/2" d x 7 1/4" h.
$1,250 USDStunning Venetian Polychromed and Gilded Wood Pendant Chandelier
Antiques:Lamps, Lighting
Beautifully carved of wood, and then painted and gilded, this light is all original. It is from 1910 or 1920. Note the fine detail, even the original rope wrapped cord attaching the pendant to the canopy. You don't see these very often, and certainly not in as good of a condition as this one. It accommodates a single regular base bulb, and is in working condition. It is 28 1/2" high from the bottom to the top of the canopy, and it is approx. 10" wide.
$975 USDMagnificent Pair of Egyptian Revival Silver over Bronze Wall Sconces
Antiques:Lamps, Lighting:Wall Sconces
Impeccable craftsmanship is evident in this unusual pair of sconces. I have just had shoulder surgery so they have not been polished as they should have been. But the silver plate is in very good condition, without any wear through that I can see. They swivel on the wooden bases, which I believe were added later to the sconces. They each measure 9" high x 4" wide x 9" deep.
