RARE Victorian Brass Hand Tiebacks, 4
We are pleased to offer these extremely rare brass hand tiebacks. The registry mark on the back dates them from Nov. 21, 1845. These exquisite and intricately detailed decorative accessories make a commanding statement. Each hand holds a sprig of leaves with berries. A bracelet, of the period, is at the wrist and the end of the arm has a realistically ruffled dress sleeve. Condition is excellent with minor, but age appropriate, surface wear. The hand is 10 inches long, 3 1/2 inches wide at the sleeve and 2 1/2 inches at the hand. Outstanding. |

Original Oil Painting by John Clendening 1982
This is a realistic oil painting on board by John Clendening. Many of his paintings are of nature, however, he also had an intense interest in space, painting his impressions of the Apollo 16 flight and being commissioned by NASA to create a painting of the MIR-Shuttle rendezvous. The latter is on exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center. He was trained at the Corcoran School of Art, Washington D.C. and for many years was a designer for the Smithsonian Institute. He was selected to be chief of design at the National Air & Space Museum. This painting is entitled, "Rockledge with Leaves Under Water," and was entered into an exhibit of thumb box paintings in 1982. The colors are expecially beautiful and make a grand statement on a very non-complex theme. The painting, in frame, measures 19" X 16 inches. The painting is in pristine condition. Some wear to the mat and frame, but not enough to detract from the overall presentation.

Rare & Important Meissen 19thC. Snowball Urn
This exquisite 19th century Meissen snowball urn is, indeed, rare. The urn is covered in balls to which hundreds of tiny flowers have been applied. Four birds are perched on different areas of the urn, the rarest being the large parrot on the side of the base. Gilded leaves and vines are entwined in strategic places. There has been some restoration to the leaves and vines and there is some damage to some of the leaves. This does not detract from the beauty and integrity of the piece. This is an exceptionally large piece measuring 20 inches tall. Marked on the base. One of the finest Meissen pieces we have ever seen. |
