I was very excited about acquiring a good amount of antiques from the Woolworth Family and I’m happy to present them to you. Here is a little history of the Woolworth Family: During the late 19th and early 20th Century the Woolworth Department Stores were one of the most famous names in department stores both here and in Europe. Everyone growing up remembers the Woolworth Five & Dime store in their town. In the early 20th century, one branch of the Woolworth family came to Maine and acquired hundreds of acres of land on beautiful Cobbossee Lake in Monmouth, Maine. Over the years, the compound has grown to approximately twenty-six buildings, some of which were filled with antiques collected all over the world and with a discerning eye.

Dolphin Sculpture Silvered Bronze Antique Classical
One of my favorite things – dolphins! This is a lovely 19th century sculpture. It is bronze and silvered bronze. The classical dolphin sculpture is mounted onto the base and all around the top outer edge there are entwined classical dolphins with some wearing crowns. They are interspaced with florals all in high relief. All of that work is silver on bronze. The section where the main dolphin is attached is yellow bronze. It sits on four bun feet. Overall this piece has a wonderful patina. I suspect it is just a sculpture or desk top item or perhaps a paperweight. It is just beautiful and the work is exceptionally fine. There are no makers marks on this what so ever which I find so hard to believe due to the exceptional detail and superb quality. It is in very good condition. Overall it measures 7 ¾" at widest x 4 ¾" at deepest x 4" at highest.
Please browse our entire shop for a broad range of fine antiques featuring period furniture, lighting, porcelain, silver, glass, art, books, clocks and decorative arts.

This inkwell is just as handsome as can be , having very smooth clean lines .Inside it still has the original blown glass well. The surface is so rich & smooth if looks & feels just like platinum.

This inkwell measures 13 ¾"long x 6" wide x 4 ½" high. The condition is very good ,has some minor scratching from age & use as you would expect , but also as you can see it was very well taken care of !(#0316)
METALLWARENFABRIK was, around 1900, the world's largest Founded in 1880 by the merger of two existing German companies, the WÜRTTEMBERGISCHE producer and exporter of household metal ware, mainly in the Jugendstil style.
The company's trademark was an Ostrich and at, its height, the company had several production sites in Germany, Austria and Poland and 6.500 workers.
10.000 different items were produced from the teaspoon to enormous table centrepieces and the metal used was mainly pewter with silver plating and use of glass for some items.
Widely known by its initials, WMF, the company preferred to create its own designs and so the main proportion of the beautiful creations in Art Nouveau style are from their own Art studio.
The war in 1914 brought WMF the immediate loss of all its export markets: the WMF' golden age was finished.

19th Century Silver Inkwell With Cranberry Glass
A glorious 19th century inkwell. I find this a very unusual one. It appears to be silver plate with a most unusual surface that would appear to be a matt finish gold surface .Look close at the pictures & you will see the undulating silver edge in the rococo style with a bold shell at the four major portions of this inkwell. Then look to the interior surface & you will see the matt finish. Two mold blown cranberry glass inkwells sit inside the holders with a candle holder & snuffer in the center. It dates from the 19th century & is in very good condition. Measuring 9 7/8" L x 7"W x NICE!!!!!
