Antique Handsome Serapi Carpet, Handmade Wool Carpet Red Navy, Light Blue, Ivory
Located in Port Washington, NY
19th century Persian Serapi carpets are some of the most highly prized and sought-after antique Persian carpets in the world. They are characterized by their bold, geometric designs, vivid colors, and exceptional quality. Serapi carpets were originally woven in the Heriz region of northwestern Iran, but the term "Serapi" was coined by Western carpet dealers in the late 19th century to distinguish a higher-quality version of the Heriz carpet. Serapi carpets were made using the finest wool, which was dyed using natural, vegetable-based dyes. The wool was then spun by hand and woven into carpets using a symmetrical knotting technique. One of the defining features of 19th century Persian Serapi carpets is their bold, large-scale geometric designs. These designs often feature medallions, rosettes, and intricate borders, rendered in a palette of rich, saturated colors such as crimson, indigo, and gold. The colors used in Serapi carpets were achieved through a painstaking dyeing process that involved boiling the wool in vats of natural dyes, such as madder root or indigo. Another hallmark of 19th century Persian Serapi carpets is their durability and sturdiness. The wool used to make these carpets was of exceptional quality, with a high lanolin content that made it resistant to wear and tear. Additionally, the carpets were woven with a tight, dense pile that added to their strength and longevity. The size of 19th century Persian Serapi carpets is another factor that sets them apart from other antique Persian carpets. These carpets were typically large, with sizes ranging from 9 feet by 12 feet to 12 feet by 18 feet. Their large size was made custom for use in grand, formal spaces such as ballrooms and reception halls. Overall, 19th century Persian Serapi carpets are considered to be some of the most beautiful and valuable...

Mechanical Bank Speaking Dog By The Shepard Co Ca 1885; with Original Wooden Box
By Shepard Hardware Company
Located in Incline Village, NV
Manufactured in 1884 by the Shepard Hardware Company in Buffalo, New York, this cast iron mechanical bank measures 7 1/8" long and is in excellent all original condition and paint, especially considering that the Shepard Company did not use a primer rendering their surface more vulnerable than say, the Steven's Company. There is no touch up or repaint, and no restoration of any kind. Colors of bright red on the dress, flesh tones, tan colored dog, and maroon base are all very bright and crisp. The bank is accompanied by the original wooden box in which it was originally shipped; a very special find and charming piece of Americana. Rare to find the original box. The bank and box came directly from an estate and the original owner, and I have owned it since then for over 35 years. The theme of the bank depicts a young Victorian girl playing with her golden retriever. It is one of only four antique mechanical banks...

An ancient Papua wooden substitute headhunters's head
Located in Amsterdam, NL
Papua New Guinea, 18th-19th century L. 22.5 x W. 18 cm (approx.) Provenance: Collected by Schulze-Westrum Collection Rinck Hollnberger, Munich (purchased in the 1980s or 1990s) For a comparable skull see the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The heads of humans and of animals such as crocodiles and pigs formerly played integral roles in the ceremonial life of Papuan Gulf peoples, who considered the heads to be vessels of life-giving supernatural power. Within men’s ceremonial houses, human skulls were displayed, together with sacred images such as spirit boards or gope, by the members of each clan in a specially constructed clan shrine. However, not all heads required the death of an enemy. In some areas, heads made from wood or other materials appear to have had powers equal to actual ones. In contrast to skulls, the facial features of wood heads were sometimes depicted as they appeared in life. This example comes from the Wapo Creek area, where wood heads appear to have been used interchangeably with actual skulls. When headhunting was abolished by Australian colonial...
