About the Item

Hubley Anne Fish Figural Doorstop – "The Bathers" This delightful figural cast-iron doorstop, titled "The Bathers," exemplifies the playful elegance of Art Deco design. Created by Anne Harriet Fish, a celebrated British illustrator, this piece showcases her distinctive wit and charm. Designed for the Hubley Manufacturing Company, the doorstop features a whimsical depiction of two stylish bathers, capturing the lighthearted spirit of the 1920s. The doorstop is in good condition, with what appears to be its original paint, beautifully retaining the vibrant colors and intricate details. The artist’s signature, "Fish," is prominently displayed on the front, while the back bears the model number "250," confirming its authenticity as a Hubley creation. About Anne Fish Anne Harriet Fish (1890–1964) was a British illustrator whose work epitomized the elegance and humor of the Art Deco era. Her illustrations, which often captured the eccentricities of high society, appeared in leading publications such as Vanity Fair and The Tatler. Fish’s collaboration with the Hubley Manufacturing Company brought her designs to life in a series of figural doorstops and decorative items, which remain highly collectible today. About the Hubley Manufacturing Company Founded in 1894 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the Hubley Manufacturing Company became a leader in producing high-quality cast-iron toys, doorstops, and household goods. Hubley’s designs often embraced the artistic movements of the time, including Art Deco, as seen in their collaboration with Anne Fish. Each piece was hand-painted, ensuring unique craftsmanship that is still celebrated today. This rare and well-preserved figural doorstop is a stunning representation of Anne Fish’s artistry and Hubley’s exceptional craftsmanship, making it a standout addition to any Art Deco or cast-iron collection.

1930's German Art Deco Porcelain Half Doll
Located in Red Lion, PA
Stunning 1930s German Art Deco Porcelain Half Doll with Rococo Hairstyle This exquisite 1930s German porcelain half doll captures the refined beauty and timeless glamour of the Art Deco period, paired with the romantic influence of 18th-century Rococo style. Rendered in fine porcelain with exceptional attention to detail, this rare figure is a striking example of German artistry at its peak. Her delicate features are simply enchanting — bright blue eyes accented by soft blue eyeshadow, rosy cheeks, and vivid red lips, all hand-painted with precision. Her ornate updo evokes the powdered wigs of the 1700s, gathered high with an elegant bow at the back and a tiny tiara perched at the front, nodding to both historic elegance and theatrical flair. What sets this figure apart is her graceful, outstretched arms, posed in a fluid and balletic gesture, capturing a moment of poised movement. It’s a pose both sculptural and expressive, and one rarely seen in typical half dolls. Her condition is excellent, with no chips, cracks, or signs of repair. Here delicately painted features remain vivid after nearly a century. German half dolls...
