Pair of Japanese Gold Imari Arita Hand-Painted Porcelain Bird Vases, 1960s

By Imari Porcelain

Located in Hannover, DE

An exceptionally decorative pair of Japanese Gold Imari porcelain vases, hand-painted in Arita, Japan, circa 1960s. Both pieces retain their original “GOLD IMARI – Hand Painted” marks to the underside. Each vase measures approximately 30 cm / 11.8 in. high and 19 cm / 7.5 in. in diameter and weighs approximately 2.5 kg / 5.5 lb., giving the pair an unusually substantial and representative presence. The decoration is particularly attractive. A luminous yellow ground is combined with deep cobalt blue, turquoise, emerald green, soft pink, iron red and delicate gilt accents. Large shaped reserves feature beautifully rendered exotic birds surrounded by flowering branches and lush blossoms. Further floral motifs are distributed across the yellow ground, while the cobalt neck and stylized green leaf border around the base create a highly balanced composition. The quality of the hand-painted decoration is especially evident when viewed closely. Individual brushwork, softly graduated colors and small variations in the painted outlines give the surfaces a depth and vitality that is very different from the flatter, more standardized appearance often associated with later or contemporary decorative porcelain. The colors remain remarkably vivid and give the pair an exceptionally fresh appearance. Their strong proportions and richly colored decoration make these vases highly representative decorative objects. At nearly 12 inches high, they have sufficient presence to work beautifully on a console, sideboard, mantel or large table, either in a traditional interior or as a colorful accent within a more restrained contemporary setting. Finding two corresponding Gold Imari vases...

Elli Malevolti Brass and Resin Duck Table Lamp, Italy, 1970s

By Malevolti

Located in Hannover, DE

Exceptional 1970s Italian sculptural duck table lamp by Elli Malevolti, a wonderfully decorative example of the whimsical yet sophisticated animalier lighting for which Malevolti became known. The centerpiece is a beautifully modeled duck, exceptionally detailed throughout, with individually articulated feathers creating an almost naturalistic surface. The body is crafted from cast resin in subtle shades of white, cream and soft gray, beautifully contrasted by the finely modeled brass beak and webbed feet. The small inset Malevolti maker’s emblem on the body provides an important and attractive detail confirming the maker. The sculptural duck stands upon an unusually elegant two-tier oval metal base combining contrasting silver-tone and golden brass finishes. This sophisticated combination of warm and cool metallic surfaces gives the lamp a particularly luxurious appearance and distinguishes it from the simpler Malevolti duck lamps...

Vintage Italian Capiz Shell Wall Sconces – Set of Three, 1970s
Vintage Italian Capiz Shell Wall Sconces – Set of Three, 1970s

Vintage Italian Capiz Shell Wall Sconces – Set of Three, 1970s

Located in Hannover, DE

This exceptional set of three Italian wall sconces is a beautiful example of late 1970s to early 1980s lighting design, combining natural materials with timeless geometric elegance. Handcrafted from genuine Capiz shell panels framed in finely soldered brass-toned metal, these sconces emit a wonderfully warm, soft light that instantly creates an inviting atmosphere. One of the most distinctive features of this rare ensemble is its carefully composed arrangement. Two sconces share an identical pattern, while the third mirrors the design in reverse, creating a perfectly balanced composition when displayed together. Whether installed in a hallway, living room, bedroom, or hospitality interior, the result is both architectural and highly decorative. The translucent Capiz shells display their characteristic iridescent, softly golden shimmer, revealing the natural beauty of the material. Even when switched off, the shells reflect ambient light with subtle pearl-like brilliance. Illuminated, they produce a warm and elegant glow that highlights the organic texture of every shell segment. Each sconce is mounted on a practical molded wall fixture incorporating an integrated pull-chain switch, allowing independent operation if desired. Every fixture accommodates one standard E26/E27 screw-base light bulb, making them fully compatible with modern LED or other energy-efficient light sources. The overall craftsmanship is of very high quality, with carefully assembled shell panels and precisely soldered metal framing that underline the refined Italian design. As expected with authentic vintage Capiz shell lighting, the sconces show age-appropriate signs of use. One shade has a tiny pinhead-sized perforation in a single shell panel, clearly documented in the photographs. This minor imperfection is barely noticeable and does not detract from either the beauty or functionality of the set. Elegant, atmospheric, and increasingly difficult to find as a complete trio, these wall sconces embody the relaxed sophistication of Italian interior design and remain as timeless today as when they were created over four decades ago. Condition: Good vintage condition with age-related wear consistent with the delicate nature of Capiz shell. One shell panel features a very small pinhead-sized hole (see photographs). Fully functional. Light Source: One E26/E27 bulb per sconce. Compatible with modern LED and energy-saving bulbs. Integrated pull-chain switches. A rare and highly decorative set of three Italian Capiz shell wall sconces...

English Gothic Revival Oak Canterbury Bookcase with Original Cane, circa 1890
English Gothic Revival Oak Canterbury Bookcase with Original Cane, circa 1890

English Gothic Revival Oak Canterbury Bookcase with Original Cane, circa 1890

Located in Hannover, DE

A beautifully preserved English Gothic Revival Canterbury bookcase, handcrafted from solid oak and finished in its original rich dark stain. Dating from approximately 1890–1915, this elegant piece embodies the refined craftsmanship of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. The design is distinguished by finely turned barley twist columns, graceful Gothic Revival cut-out details and a beautifully proportioned silhouette. The original hand-woven cane shelf has survived in exceptional condition, adding both warmth and authenticity while demonstrating the outstanding quality of the original construction. The deep, richly aged finish has developed an attractive natural patina over more than a century and remains remarkably well preserved. This Canterbury has never been restored, allowing the original craftsmanship and historic character to remain intact. Gentle signs of age and use are consistent with its history and contribute to its authenticity. Compact in size yet visually striking, it functions equally well as a bookcase, magazine rack or decorative side piece in both traditional and contemporary interiors. An increasingly scarce original example of English Gothic Revival furniture...
