About the Item

The Bradley & Hubbard Manufacturing Company was established in 1852 in Meriden, Connecticut and became synonymous with the production of fine quality items ranging from clocks and desk accessories, to art brass and iron tables. Many of their items are on display at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. The elk plaque is made of cast iron, in high relief, and hand painted in dominant colors of green and brown. The subject matter portrays a large elk in the foreground with two younger elk in the background, immersed in a forest thicket of trees and brush. The plaque is in excellent all original condition with 95+% of it's original paint intact. There are a few spots of discoloration here and there which do not detract from the overall composition. The 5/8" brass plated cast iron frame is decorated in a floral "S" scroll pattern which is complete and original. The frame is cast separate from the plaque. On the back of the frame is marked "2196" which coincides with the markings on the back of the plaque, also "2196" and in addition "B & H" in a circle logo is embossed. The markings attest to it's origin and authenticity. The original metal chain is still attached to the cast iron loops on the frame for hanging. This has been in my collection for 20 years and is truly, a unique piece of quality Americana. Dimensions: 12 3/4" high x 9 1/4" wide. Note: I am a second generation antiques dealer and have been in business for 50 years; I am also a member of several prestigious antique associations. Thus, I am well qualified to inspect and evaluate the products I offer for sale and I guarantee this to be authentic and as I have described.

Unknown - Painting Fallow Deer with Doe in the Alps, Oil on Canvas 19th century
Located in Berghuelen, DE
Unknown - Painting Fallow Deer with Doe in the Alps, Oil on Canvas 19th century A lovely Biedermeier style oil painting depicting a fallow deer family in the alpine landscape. Oil on canvas 1st halve of the 19th century. Framed with antique gilded frame, stretcher frame replaced. A marvelous wall decoration for each rustig log cabin. 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...
