A beautiful contrast of colors and textures, this fantastic feather headdress is a woven hat of the Inca period, (circa 1460-1532). The style of the fez-shaped hat originated in the Aymara culture of northern Chile and displays a stepped, geometric pattern created by coil-weaving with dyed alpaca yarn. The hat on its own would have been worn as an everyday garment, but the addition of a decorative plume of vibrant feathers suggests that this piece would have been the final adornment of an Inca mummy bundle. Simply displayed on a custom steel mount, the burst of feathers provides a sense of movement and turns the piece into a captivating sculptural object. Headdress comes with a custom acrylic case.

Antique Limonaire organ figure from Paris, circa 1880 This very rare artefact is originally believed to be from a 52-key ‘De Gouden Limonaire’ (The Golden Limonaire) this highly collectable French organ figure is in overall wonderful condition for its age. The figure is made from sectioned pieces of hand carved wood and painted with polychrome layered surfaces (this item has been painted a few times over time as expected, the layers can be seen in the worn and faded sections of this item). The figure comes with its original base, made with wood and layered with velvet. This item is completely secure in stature. Quite simply this is a very rare and wonderfully quirky decorative original 52 – Key De Gouden Limonaire carved organ figure from Paris. Limonaire History: The firm of Limonaires Freres (Limonaire Brothers) was also an early entry into the organ business, founded in 1840. From the late 1890’s most organs were of the “book” system, although some paper roll or “keyless” models were made. Organs of the early 20th century were sold under the “Orchestronphone” trade name. In the 1900-1910 era, Limonaire sold different models with elaborate facades that often were incorporated into a ticket booth or large Bioscope show front on amusement rides. Peek production occurred during 1900 to 1914. Linonaire had a factory in Paris and also one in Waldkirch, Germany. Limonaire also produced a line of instruments called “Jazzbandophone” that had ornate facades with heavy carving and figures even on the small size instruments. Most of these Jazz instruments have a very mellow sweet tone which makes Limonaire among the best fairground organs...
