Engraved Furniture

Rare find and highly sought after vintage western wear cowboy, three piece "Ranger Buckle" and leather belt set; made by the iconic and most famous 20th century luxury belt maker, Edward H. Bohlin (marked) of Hollywood, California during the heyday and "Golden Age of Western Wear" mid century production period, and "made for the stars" during the 1940's; when such articles were made for cowboy screen actors like Tom Mix, John Wayne, and Roy Rodgers et al. The "Bohlin" logo (see images) used on all three pieces is the shield image utilized by the company from 1930 --1950's, so this is one of the earlier and more desirable Bohlin western wear collectibles. The company was founded in California in 1920 by Edward H. Bolin who sought to capitalize on the "cowboy" interest and fashion phenomenon taking over the west, by making fine quality western wear luxury goods for the wealthy. He quickly became recognized for his fine silversmithing (referred to as the "silversmith to the stars") and a known expert in applying gold filigree overlays, as is evident on the 14k gold rope edges designed on this belt. This high end belt is replete with fine quality .925 sterling silver and 14k gold accents to the etched and perimeter twisted rope edge design of the buckle which is hand engraved scroll work pattern in a floral motif "Western Rose" pattern . The set is complete with the original buckle, the keeper, and tail piece which are similarly and elaborately decorated; in addition to a hand made 1 1/4" wide tool and dyed black leather belt in a classic basket weave pattern pattern; which tapers down to a 1" billet to accommodate the tail and entry through the keeper hardware assembly. The three piece set was catalogued as Model 1173E "Parade Series and was Bohlin's finest quality. The condition is excellent and all original; the silver is intact and fine looking, the sparkling 14k gold highlights and the belt show very little wear; in fact, there is no apparent single "wear line" where one owner might have worn the belt for an extended period of time. If you are looking for the best, you need look no further. The belt comfortably fits a size 34" through 38" waist line. It measures 46 1/2" long; the first prong hole where the tongue passes through is 39" from the end of the buckle and there are five holes after that each spaced 1" apart. The rest of the measurements are: buckle= 2" deep x 1 3/4" high keeper= 3/4" wide x 7/8" high tail (billet)= 1/1/4" long Provenance: From my own personal collection of Western cowboy...

British Isles Antique Map – England, Scotland & Ireland, Lapie Paris 1836 Description: A finely engraved and beautifully hand-colored early 19th-century map of the British Isles, depicting England, Scotland, and Ireland in exceptional detail. This elegant composition was published in Paris in 1836 as part of the celebrated Atlas Universel de Géographie Ancienne et Moderne by the distinguished French cartographer M. Lapie. The map presents a comprehensive view of the British Isles, with England and Wales outlined in soft red, Ireland in yellow, and Scotland in green, creating a harmonious yet highly legible composition. The dense network of towns, cities, rivers, and roads reflects the advanced state of geographic knowledge in the early 19th century, while the surrounding seas—including the Irish Sea and the North Sea—are delicately shaded, enhancing both depth and visual balance. Particularly notable is the detailed rendering of Scotland’s rugged Highlands and island groups, including the Hebrides, as well as the intricate coastline of Ireland and the dense infrastructure of England. The map captures a moment in time just prior to the height of the Victorian era, offering insight into the geographic and administrative landscape of the British Isles during a period of rapid industrial and social transformation. Lapie’s cartographic approach is characterized by clarity, precision, and refinement. Terrain is rendered through delicate hachuring, while subtle original hand coloring distinguishes political divisions without overwhelming the engraved detail. The engraving was executed by Pierre Antoine Tardieu, a member of the renowned Tardieu family of engravers, whose crisp linework ensures remarkable readability and elegance throughout. This map is highly desirable for collectors of British cartography, as well as for interior designers seeking a classic and recognizable geographic subject with strong decorative appeal. Its balanced vertical format makes it particularly suitable as a standalone statement piece in a study, library, or traditional interior. NOTE: The interior mockups are for visual inspiration only and do not represent the exact scale. Condition: Good antique condition with age-related toning and scattered foxing, more visible in the margins. Original fold lines as issued. The engraving remains sharp and clear, with attractive original hand coloring. Plate mark visible. Framing tips: This map displays beautifully with a wide ivory or warm off-white mat and a thin dark walnut or ebonized frame. A classic museum-style presentation enhances both the color balance and the fine engraved detail. Ideal as a focal piece in a study, office, or library setting.
