TITLE: Two Stems with Red Flowers – Original Botanical Watercolor by A.L., 1819 DESCRIPTION: A refined original botanical watercolor depicting two slender stems bearing vivid red flowers and delicately rendered green leaves, painted in 1819 by an unidentified artist with the initials A.L. The composition is elegant and restrained, with the flowering stems isolated against the natural cream-colored paper. The artist has carefully observed the structure of the plant, combining botanical precision with the decorative quality characteristic of early 19th-century flower studies. The work is monogrammed “A.L.” on the left stem and dated “1819” on the right. Particularly noteworthy is the paper itself, which bears the watermark “J. Whatman 1817.” James Whatman's celebrated English papers were highly regarded by artists and printmakers for their quality and durability. The watermark dates the manufacture of the paper to 1817, while the artist's inscription dates the execution of the watercolor to 1819. The two dates therefore provide an unusually clear chronology: the Whatman sheet was manufactured in 1817 and used by the artist for this botanical watercolor two years later, in 1819. An attractive and unusually well-documented original botanical artwork from the Regency period. ARTIST: A.L., unidentified artist. The work is monogrammed “A.L.” on the left stem. DATE: 1819 - dated on the artwork. MEDIUM: Original watercolor on paper PAPER: J. Whatman paper, watermarked 1817 ORIGIN: European, probably British or Continental European PERIOD / STYLE: Regency period Early 19th century Botanical / Natural History SUBJECT: Two stems with red flowers Botanical study Flower study DIMENSIONS: Image: approximately 29 × 16.5 cm Sheet: approximately 46 × 32.5 cm MARKS: Monogrammed “A.L.” on the left stem. Dated “1819” on the right. Paper watermarked “J. Whatman 1817.” CONDITION: Very good antique condition. The watercolor retains attractive and strong colors. Some light age-related toning and occasional minor foxing are present. A subtle former light line is visible, consistent with previous presentation beneath a passe-partout. The sheet was attached beneath a passe-partout along the upper edge. FRAMING: Offered unframed. Any framed or interior photographs shown are for presentation and inspiration only. AUTHENTICITY: An original, unique hand-painted watercolor dating from 1819. This is not a print, engraving or modern reproduction. KEYWORDS: botanical watercolor, original watercolor, botanical painting, flower watercolor, red flowers, botanical study, flower study, A.L. artist, monogrammed watercolor, dated 1819, Regency botanical art, Regency watercolor, early 19th century watercolor, 19th century botanical art, J Whatman, Whatman 1817, Whatman paper, English paper, antique botanical painting...

Antique Istanbul Panorama from Mount Bulgurlu, Constantinople – Bartlett, c.1839 A beautifully composed panoramic view of Constantinople as seen from Mount Bulgurlu, after W.H. Bartlett, one of the most influential travel artists of the 19th century. This engraving presents a sweeping vista across the Bosporus toward the historic skyline of Istanbul, dotted with domes and minarets and animated by ships moving through the water. Published in London around 1839 by Fisher, Son & Co., the print exemplifies the romantic yet topographically accurate style that made Bartlett’s work so widely admired. The foreground, with figures resting beneath trees and a caravan scene, adds narrative charm and scale to the expansive city view beyond. The composition is particularly effective in its layering: from the shaded foreground to the luminous water and the distant city bathed in soft atmospheric light. The delicate hand-coloring enhances this depth, with subtle greens, blues, and warm tones harmonizing across the landscape. Panoramic views such as this were among the most desirable images for 19th-century collectors and remain highly decorative today, offering both historical interest and strong visual impact. Note: All items we offer are authentic period works of art over 100 years old. The print is sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only. Condition: Good condition. General age toning and some scattered foxing, primarily in the margins. Plate mark visible. Image area remains bright with attractive original coloring. Framing tips: Ideal for a wide mount and a classic dark wood or ebonized frame to enhance the panoramic effect. Also suitable for a lighter, Paris-style presentation for a brighter interior. Technique: Steel engraving with original hand-coloring Maker: W.H. Bartlett (after), engraved by R. Brandard, London, circa 1839 Keywords: Constantinople panorama, Istanbul antique...

This extraordinary vintage giant working table lighter is a monumental piece of mid-century maritime and tobaccoliana history, custom engraved for the legendary Mega Yacht VILEEHI. Measuring an impressive 4.5 inches wide, 6.5 inches high, and 1.5 inches deep, this oversized statement piece seamlessly bridges the worlds of luxury yachting culture and post-WWII design innovation. Expertly crafted in Japan by the renowned manufacturer Idealine, the giant fliptop petrol lighter functions flawlessly, serving as both a conversational centerpiece and a highly functional artifact of 20th-century luxury travel. Its custom engraving permanently anchors this piece to one of the most celebrated American sailing vessels of the pre-war and post-war eras, making it a premier acquisition for discerning collectors of ocean liner memorabilia, premium vintage tobaccoliana, and rare nautical décor. The storied heritage of this lighter is bound to the fascinating, multigenerational lineage of the Vileehi, a vessel whose history reads like a 20th-century epic. The unique name "Vileehi", best known as the iconic 1930 classic sailing ketch and World War II auxiliary vessel USS Vileehi (IX-62), was engineered using a classic early 20th-century maritime tradition. The original owner, retired Chicago steel tycoon Hiram T. Horton, created the name by combining elements of his own family members' names: "Vi" honors his wife, Violet; "lee" stems from family member Lee; and "hi" represents Hiram himself. From 1930 to 1935, the boat was built and maintained for Horton in San Diego, California, where it achieved yachting immortality by winning the historic 1934 Transpacific Race to Hawaii and becoming the first yacht to circumnavigate the globe from San Diego. Between 1941 and 1945, the ship transitioned to military service when it was owned and deployed by the United States Government during World War II, patrolling the Pacific as an auxiliary ketch. In 1946, the vessel entered Hollywood royalty when it was purchased directly from the U.S. Navy by acclaimed actor Dana Andrews, who proudly utilized the magnificent ship as his prominent personal yacht for high-society coastal leisure. In its later years, the historic vessel was sold and chartered across international boundaries, sailing through European waters between England and Italy. Decades of transatlantic adventures eventually came to an end when the boat was abandoned in Port Saint-Louis-du-Rhône, France, where it ultimately sank at its dock before being meticulously salvaged for restoration. This specific lighter was custom commissioned and engraved with the name Vileehi to serve as a functional, luxury amenity aboard during its mid-century travels. This giant table lighter was deliberately engineered with an oversized fuel reservoir and a robust mechanism to withstand heavy marine drafts, ensuring guests could effortlessly ignite cigars and cigarettes while navigating the open sea. Permanently engraved with the unique family portmanteau, this piece was a stationary fixture of the yacht’s affluent social scene, handled by captains, tycoons, and Hollywood stars alike. The maker of this exquisite piece, Idealine, was a prominent New York-based firm that operated from the 1950s through the 1970s, establishing a dominant market presence for premium promotional and novelty lighters. To achieve unparalleled precision while remaining competitive during the mid-century manufacturing boom, Idealine shifted its core production to Japan, collaborating with master Japanese metalworkers who excelled in producing high-quality petrol and flint mechanisms. Giant table lighters became a massive design trend during this period, serving as bold, oversized statement pieces for upscale corporate boardrooms, luxury lounges, and private mega yachts. Because their massive proportions allowed them to double as functional desktop sculptures, these oversized lighters became an iconic staple of mid-century modern design, showcasing the era's penchant for dramatic scale and brilliant chrome or silver-plated craftsmanship.Today, an Idealine giant lighter with documented provenance to a historic, military-serving mega yacht is a find of exceptional rarity and collectability. While standard mid-century Japanese pocket lighters are widely traded, custom-engraved nautical giant lighters from prestigious private vessels are nearly impossible to encounter on the open market, particularly this condition. The dramatic timeline of the Vileehi — spanning from Chicago steel fortune and WWII Pacific patrols to Hollywood luxury and its ultimate sinking and salvage in France, transforms surviving onboard artifacts like this lighter into incredibly scarce, finite historical relics. For collectors of high-end vintage tobaccoliana, yachting and maritime collectables, WWII naval history, or classic cinema memorabilia, this magnificent Idealine Japan lighter...
