Unknown, Still Life with Meat and Vegetables, Oil on Canvas, Germany, 1909
Located in Berghuelen, DE
Unknown - still life with meat and vegetables, oil on canvas, Germany 1909 An impressive still life painting depicting meat, and diverse vegetables. Painted in oil on canvas with pastell colors. Framed with antique richly decorated gilded frame. Signed with monogram of the artist "AP 09" (1909). This authentic antique painting will be a highlight in every dining room or restaurtant. The Biedermeier period runs parallel to the Romantic period and both are characterized by similar features. Domesticity, closeness to nature, folksiness and need for harmony are buzzwords of this time. The focus is on the simple, the conservative and the tried and tested. There is little experimentation and more observation and enjoyment. The art style is kept very realistic and shows great similarity to photography. Domestic idyllic representations, beautiful landscape and impressive portraits are the most popular topics for oil paintings...

Iron Nutcracker in the Shape of a Cockatoo, 19th Century, Poland
Located in Hamburg, DE
This rare and whimsical 19th-century nutcracker from Poland is crafted from solid cast iron and takes the form of a stylized cockatoo. A nut can be placed in the bird’s beak to be cracked, while a second functional element is integrated into the center of the body – making it a playful yet practical object. The detailed shaping of the feathers and the expressive form reflect the fine craftsmanship of the period and lend the piece a sculptural quality that elevates it far beyond a mere kitchen tool. Nutcracker collecting is a rich and varied field within the world of antiques. While the brightly painted wooden figures from the Erzgebirge are widely known, earlier examples were often made of metal and featured imaginative animal or human forms. Iron nutcrackers...
