Antique Estate Large Desktop Bronze Cannon Replica Wood Carriage

Handsome and heavy bronze cannon replica came from a fine New England estate. The cast bronze cannon is just over 9 inches long and the barrel opening is 3/4 inch in diameter. The carriage is about 7 1/2 inches long. Rich honeyed patina on the bronze. No markings. This took a fall and the carriage needs repair. The almost 6 pound bronze part is fine. The wagon should be easily repaired. It holds the bronze part but could use some shoring up. See the 10 day eBay auction here.

Large 1891 W. H. Grindley platter 19.25” long BRUSSELS Pattern flow blue floral tray

 This antique platter is amazing!

It is in the most pristine condition I have ever seen in a serving piece. The platter measures a honking 19.25”x 13.25“ ( I’m figuring we’re talking 40 pound turkey size here).
The flow blue floral transfer decorated platter was made in England circa 1891 by WH Grindley and Company.
In remarkable condition, the surface shines like new. The serving piece must’ve been put away and a hope chest many many years ago.

Vtg Metal Star Mercerized American Thread Company spool display Cabinet

 

This wonderful vintage metal cabinet is probably from the 1920s. It was made for the American thread company as a point of display spool cabinet. It’s a four drawer spool box with glass on the front of the drawers. The front is emblazoned with “Star Mercerized”. The drawers all work well.
Now for the bad news – apparently somebody attempted to use it as a stepstool at one point and dented the top as you can see in the photos. There’s a few spots of discoloration on the top as you can see in the photos. Normally sold for double this price. I am pricing it taking the condition into account. A heavy item. It weighs 17 pounds unboxed.

1920s Alabaster Figural lamp of woman with roses

 

This amazing lamp from the 1920s depicts a beautiful woman in contemporary clothes, holding an arm load of roses. She is carved of alabaster and is mounted on a plinth which, with the lamp pole are made of marble.
The height from the bottom of the base to the top of the piece of marble that holds the harp is 19 1/2 inches. From the top of the finial to the fixture is 12 1/2 inches. This is a very heavy piece weighing in at almost 17 pounds without a shade.
Most likely purchased in Italy while on a Grand Tour somewhere between 1909 and the 1920 as we can see from her style.
In marvelous condition, especially when you consider it is over 100 years old it was most likely carried back on a steamship cruiser. There is the occasional slight ding as you can see on one corner of her plinth in the front,some loss to the marble that bands the pole, and some rubbed edges on the roses . But her face and figure are in excellent condition. (although she works and lights up just fine I would replace the wiring which seems to be original.)

See her here in our Etsy shop.

 This amazing lamp from the 1920s depicts a beautiful woman in contemporary clothes, holding an arm load of roses. She is carved of alabaster and is mounted on a plinth which, with the lamp pole are made of marble.

The height from the bottom of the base to the top of the piece of marble that holds the harp is 19 1/2 inches. From the top of the finial to the fixture is 12 1/2 inches. This is a very heavy piece weighing in at almost 17 pounds without a shade.

But her face and figure are in excellent condition. (although she works and lights up just fine I would replace the wiring which seems to be original.)
She does not have a shade. I have wiped her down, but I have not done any intensive cleaning. I found out water is not good for alabaster, so she’s simply been dusted.
She would make a lovely set piece for a period film as she depicts the end of the Edwardian era.
A beautiful addition to any classic, Victorian, or generally eclectic home full of unique objects.
Please see all of the photographs, as they are part of the description. An important part of the description due to the weight and delicacy of this item, which is going to be a doozy to pack.
This is a final sale item.
Sent as is, sent as seen. Please ask all questions before buying.
