Antique French 19th Century Jewelry Box Flap Door Miniature Wood Cabinet
Located in Firenze, IT
This beautiful French late 19th century chest of drawers in black ebonized wood and cherrywood reproduces with perfect proportions in scale a miniature cabinet with three drawers and an upper flap door that opens to reveal a white marble top and an oval mirror inside, nice hand carved band on top with geometrical pattern and molded base. The black lacquered wood creates a wonderful contrast with the beautiful honey-colored wood grain. Despite its convenient size, extremely detailed, this chest of drawers is equipped with a white Carrara marble top and a small mirror that make it even more special and useful. The model of a piece of furniture was originally created by cabinet makers to show their skills to the customer and to present the sample of the furniture which would then have been produced on a larger scale. These commode miniatures, along with other specimens, were displayed in the craftsman's workshop to serve as examples to aid the potential client in making a selection. Some also think that these little chests were used as doll and puppets...

18th Century, Architectural Model of Doric Column
Located in Richmond, London
An extremely rare, exquisite architectural model of a Doric column England, third quarter of 18th century. Why we like it Exquisitely carved and having accents picked out in gold, this extremely rare survivor from the golden era of Classical architecture in Britain was perhaps intended for an architect's office, or for a study of a gentleman architect, such as Lord Burlington (1694–1753), who was famously known as the "Apollo of the Arts" and the "Architect Earl". Such exquisite and decorative objects were copied from ancient Greek and Roman originals, that aspiring architects could see and draw during their 'Grand Tour' in Italy, Greece, Ottoman Empire and etc. The only other comparable example of such rare objects that we came across was a set of three columns, previously owned by the late Sir Albert Richardson (1880–1964), architect, historian, writer, artist, teacher and sometime President of the Royal Academy –  sold by Christie’s London, 19 September...

Carved Boxwood and Lacquer Netsuke of a Noh Dancer, Meiji Period, Japan
Located in Austin, TX
A fine lacquer decorated carved boxwood netsuke of a Noh dancer in a Hannya role, unsigned, Meiji period, late 19th century, Japan. The boxwood netsuke finely carved as a kneeling Noh dancer dressed in striking geometric patterned robes. The actor holds an opened war fan behind their back in one hand, a Shinto wand slung over the shoulder in the other. The war fan, tessen, decorated in red lacquer with a golden rising sun at the center. Tessen were sturdy fans used by samurai as protective devices, and sometimes as weapons. The wand, called an onusa, is a traditional Shinto ritual implement comprised of folded paper streamers, shide, attached to a wooden wand, often used in purification rituals. Here, the shide are crafted from silver maki-e, with the handle of the natural boxwood. The actor wears a fierce and unearthly hannya mask...

Rare Spanish Colonial Renaissance Chariot Carriage Model Folk Art Sculpture
Located in Forney, TX
A magnificent antique Spanish Colonial Medieval High Renaissance style hand-crafted coach chariot - luxurious horse drawn carriage model. Born in the late 18th / early 19th century, likely Northern Mexico (New Spain), New Mexico or Texas, handmade by Spanish settlers / colonists, the exceptionally executed one-of-a-kind primitive folk art work features hand carved, painted and sculpted wood and clay construction, intricately detailed, with ornate polychrome and parcel gilt ornamentation. Provenance / Acquisition: Property from the Majestic Theatre Penthouse, Downtown San Antonio, Texas The Majestic Theatre is San Antonio's oldest and largest atmospheric theatre. The theatre seats 2,264 people, designed in Spanish Renaissance style and built by renowned Art Deco period architect John Eberson, for Karl Hoblitzelle's Interstate Theatres in 1929. Intended to be the most modern building in South Texas and the first theater in the United States to be air-conditioned, for many years it remained the largest theatre in Texas and the second largest movie theatre in the United States. Unbeknownst to many of its patrons, who gawk at the rich interior of San Antonio’s oldest theater as they take in a performance at the Majestic Theatre, sitting atop the historic structure is a three-story, 3,500-square-foot penthouse apartment that evokes ‘Old Hollywood Glamour’ for many years it was occupied by a wealthy tenant who threw lavish, extravagant parties attended by the city’s elite. That man, whose identity remains concealed moved out in recent years, leaving behind a collection of high-end vintage furnishings...
