A very well made
and highly detailed early 20th century open

consider a diorama looking for detail and
more important, condition and repairs. This
example met all the scrutiny and we are
pleased to offer it here. It measures 28 x
19 and will make a great addition to a
marine or coastal collection. Inventory
number 26-386.

Hand
carved and painted milliner's
head. Done in the
traditional style of French
paper heads, but in wood. It is
signed on the bottom and I feel
safe in dating it from the
mid-century that its nicely
toned color and surface
supports. Excellent condition.
Size: 14" tall, 6.5" diameter.

flaw. Size: 23"tall, 10.5" in diameter.

A late
19th century zinc architectural
element with its original white
crusty color and surface. It
measures 33" tall with a 7.5"
globe and remains in perfect
structural condition. When
elements are removed from older
homes, they are not always
gently removed which often
results in damage. This one did
not meet that fate. Great for
the garden or interior decor.
Inventory number 26-71.

diameter. The price includes a
wall mounting bracket. Inventory

A rare
and very tiny handmade and
painted parcheesi game board. Finding
a board this small is almost
unheard of. We were thrilled to
have come across this little gem
from a Maine collection. I think
the red stars that embellish its
corners are very special plus
add a nice touch. Made from the
wood from an old crate which
kicks up its charm and adds a
degree of uniqueness
New Englanders are known for.
Size: 7.25 x 7.75. Inventory

A very
rare and perhaps unique hand
made punched copper chestnut
roaster. Again, this is a
first to see one made from
copper as most are from brass.
Its 8 point punched star grabs
your attention immediately, but
look closely, the entire
perimeter of its cover is
surrounded with two rows of very
tiny holes which further
embellishes it. Its original
wooden handle is long gone, but
as is, it offers a very special
decor for an early hearth. It's
17" long, 8.5" in diameter and
about 4" deep. Its wonderful
verdigris color and surface is
truly spectacular. Inventory
number 26-445.
$895.

A folk
art painting done on a 19th
century lap desk which portrays
an angel in a red dress with the
message Victrix Casta Fides
which translates in English to
Pure Faith in Victory. We're
certain the painting is not as
old as the desk, but I will
wager it was done at some point
in the early 20th century. The
piece remains in very good
condition and there is
information verso that's very
interesting. Size: 27 x 21.
Inventory number 26-414.
