A dance of true love by a couple who were definitely made for each other.

The carving is a larger size, approximately 3" wide  x 7" tall and marked Italy on the bottom.
It is signed illegibly by the artist.
Wonderful condition for it's age. It has wear, especially at the base. It was cared for but some dusty crevices.
There is a small nick at the bottom of the man's jacket but there is the paint inside the nick by the artist. It is an artisan inclusion. 
Most likely made mid century but could be earlier.
It would be a perfect wedding or anniversary gift.

Gorgeous Infant of Prague Statue Large 1966 Columbia Statuary Italy 19"




This breathtaking chalkware statue is approx. 19" tall and certainly commandeers the presence of any room.The child's face is exceptional. The blue eyes are piercing. The lacy gown and cape are extraordinary and regally enhanced with metallic silver thread. There are three red ribbons pinned to the gowns bottom.

From a fine local estate. Made by Columbia Statuary, 1966 in Italy and lovingly care for by one owner.

In wonderful condition with the gown overall slightly yellowed by age, dusty in corners and crevices and there are some stains on the inside of gown and cape and loose threads here and there. The edges are raw where the hands poke out. The top of the crown comes out and is easily placed back in. The cross on the orb does spin around but is secure.


See all photos for most accurate condition. 

You'd be hard pressed to find a nice version.

It is sure to be a family heirloom.

Pair of Florentine Embossed Leather Botticelli Paintings Primavera and The Birth of Venus Mid Century Set







Made in postwar Florence, Italy, these two framed pictures are made out of embossed leather. Each of the pictures is a different Botticelli. One is Sandra Botticelli‘s Primavera, the other is Botticelli‘s The Birth of Venus. Each is mounted in a heavy wooden frame. Each measures 17 1/2“ x 21“. The picture depicting the birth of Venus has some small damage toward the bottom of the image. In the last photo you can see the arrows I have drawn to the damage. I love the mixture of colors that are painted on in a jewel like fashion.

Sale! Abalone Silver Pendant on Choker Length Sterling Chain Antique Pendant




I bought this wonderful antique abalone pendant in France years ago. The cable chain (marked 925 Italy) is an obvious later addition but is a nice choice with a strong catch.
The pendant is unmarked (It acid tested as 800 silver) and is handmade as can be seen when viewing the cut outs on the obverse side.
The wear is typical for the age and materials (some of the small round ball decorations are a wee bit flattened)
The chain is 16" long 

$68
