19th Century Hand Carved Ludovic Gavioli Organ Figure
Located in London, GB
19th Century Hand Carved Ludovic Gavioli Organ Figure
Quite simply, she is beautiful and graceful. This amazing example of a late 19th century hand carved sectioned pine organ figure was produced by the world-renowned Ludovic Gavioli. The detail and expression on her face is what makes this example so delightful, an air of beauty and lifelike appeal in her expression. Personally, we have seen a few figures by Gavioli in the past but this one is special. The detail is of the finest quality and the late 19th century was most certainly when Gavioli produced some of his finest work.
Giacomo Gavioli (1786-1875) was considered the greatest of all band organ...

Set of 4 Turn of the Century American Lithographic Framed Prints
Located in London, GB
Set of 4 turn of the century American Lithographic framed prints.
Controversial and illustrated in the typical turn of the Century American fashion. A set of four vibrantly coloured lithographic prints, framed in unusual Gothic pine frames. With brass hooks still attached, the reverse clearly show that these images have never been removed or replaced since they would have been framed in the 1900s. Depicting life’s process of the Afro American, from courting to creating a family. We have never seen the like and in this collection/condition, you are unlikely to see the same ever again.
Dimensions in inches: H 14.5 x D 11.5 x W 1
Origin: America
circa: 1900 - 1920
Condition: Aged
Completely solid in structure and form, aged surface as shown with a deep natural patina across all areas. No breaks but the frames and prints are discoloured and faded as you would come to expect of item of this Material and age.

Original fabric canvas ears still intact as is its full chain. Glass eyes and red wooden wheels give this rare toy a wonderful quirky and decorative look, when pulled along the dog wiggles from side to side, a real bit of fun.

circa: 1880 - 1920
