A cool set of four risque / taboo / humorous "Underworld" ex-votos / retablos attributed to Alfredo Vilchis, circa 2010. A provocative and vibrantly transgressive collectio of contemporary Mexican ex-votos (retablos), attributed to the legendary "neighborhood artist" of Mexico City, Alfredo Vilchis Roque. This quartet serves as a masterclass in the "New Retablo" movement, where the centuries-old tradition of Catholic gratitude is subverted to document the gritty, scandalous, and darkly comedic "miracles" of the urban fringe. Each piece is in a "deliberate distressed condition" to mimic the weathered look of 19th-century antiques, and each measure approximately 9.5"W x 6"H. Moving far beyond traditional prayers for health, these works depict the raw and often taboo intersections of desire, mishaps, and divine intervention. The collection features: -The Courtesan’s Epiphany: A dramatic scene of a sex worker who, after surviving a life-threatening allergic reaction to a client's semen, offers infinite thanks to Saint Martha and vows to leave her trade forever. -The Forbidden Cousin: A man named S.F. who celebrates his persistent (and successful) pursuit of his cousin into the bedroom, thanking Saint Jude Thaddeus for their ultimate "happiness." -The Strawberry Jam Incident: A near-fatal mishap involving José Ramos...

"Dancing Dog" is a fairly scarce toy to acquire, especially in this excellent condition and working order. Windup toy is lithographed and hand painted in colors of black and greenish grey, and the name "Spot" is printed in bold letters on the red collar. This is American made in the 1920's having been manufactured by the Lindstrom Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut; established in 1913. Markings to each side of the dog reveal its genesis; "The Lindstrom Tool and Toy Co.; Made in U.S.A." "Patent Applied For"; on the other side is "Dancing Dog". "Dancing Dog" is in excellent condition and is completely original with no repairs or repaint. It works perfectly and is quite amusing. To operate; wind up the attached key on the side, a couple of times; with front legs in the air, place down by his hind legs on a hard surface and watch "Spot" dance. He carries on for quite some time, dancing around in a circle and then side to side. (see attached video accompanying the listing). Dimensions: 5 1/4" wide x 4" high x 2 1/4" deep.

Charming American Toleware Tin Box. Box is hand-painted in vivid folk art floral motifs of red, gold, and green against a deep black background. The domed lid features an oval black tin handle, and the front of lid retains the front portion of its original latch. This example displays the warmth and character typical of the 19th century decorative tinware, where utilitarian household objects were elevated through hand-painted embellishment. The floral and foliate designs were often inspired by Pennsylvania German or New England folk art traditions. Artisans and tin peddlers offered these brightly adorned boxes, trays, etc to rural families. Each was uniquely decorated, often by women, to reflect floral motifs in domestic interiors of the Federal and Victorian periods. In today's interiors, this toleware box...

Antique Indo-Persian Tinned Copper Jar Hand-Engraved Islamic Metalwork, c. 1900 A striking example of early 20th-century Indo-Persian artistry, this antique lidded jar is handcrafted from heavy tinned copper in the traditional Ghalamzani style—an ancient Persian technique of fine metal engraving. The bulbous body, slender neck, and flared lid are richly decorated with intricate floral, geometric, and arabesque motifs, along with medallions featuring musicians and couples, evoking Mughal and Islamic influences. The surface is intricately decorated with detailed floral, geometric, and calligraphic motifs, reflecting deep influences from Mughal design and Islamic decorative arts. The embossed and incised patterns shimmer over the darkened silver-toned tinned finish, catching the light with elegant shadows and reflections. The dark patina enhances the silver-toned tin finish, lending depth and contrast to the detailed repoussé and chased designs. A rare and refined collector’s piece, this jar captures the elegance and spiritual symbolism of Islamic decorative arts. Design Highlights: * Material: Tinned copper with blackened silver finish * Technique: Hand-engraved and repoussé (Ghalamzani / Qalamzani) * Motifs: Intricate floral vines, arabesques, Islamic geometry, and mythological scenes. * Base: Beautifully detailed brass with Mughal-style engravings Dimensions: * Total Height (with lid): approx. 18.5" * Width: approx. 7.5" * Lid Height: approx. 9" * Mouth Opening: approx. 2.75" This antique Persian vessel...
