About the Item
A charming and historic antique circa 1900 gouache on board painting, signed "Tully", of the United States Lighthouse Tender (USLHT) Steamship Fleet. The ships ran supplies (tended) to the crews who worked on the hundreds of Great Lakes lighthouses. On the back of the painting the ships are labeled left to right: Clover, Anemone, Sumac, Hyacinth, Dahlia. In between Clover and Anemone is the White Shoal lighthouse.
White Shoal lighthouse sits 20 miles east of Mackinac Point at a notably treacherous area of Lake Michigan, is the tallest of the Great Lakes lighthouses, and was completed in 1908. The lighthouse is known for having red stripes but those are absent here, perhaps indicating the painting was completed at the same time as the White Shoal lighthouse construction, prior to it being painted.
The specific ships are noted in documentation of the USLHT steamship fleet, so this is not only a beautiful maritime painting, but is interesting in that it is a historical document. The painting itself is accented with a cream colored French line mat and enclosed in a birdseye maple frame with glass. Ready to hang!
Condition commensurate with age and use. Painting is well preserved. This was framed with archival framing materials in the late 20th century by a gallery in Denver, CO. The documentation on the back of the painting indicates the ship names and was likely cut off of the original mat and frame when it was re-framed.

Vintage Painting of a Young Child - Oil on Board
Located in Centennial, CO
A charming vintage oil on fiber board painting of a young child with a blue and white cup and a piece of bread (?). Painted in shades of warm brown, pinks, maroons and whites. Surface abrasions and scratches are evident from rough handling. The board is stable and the paint is not flaking. There is some craquelure in the upper left and lower right quadrants but it is not loose. Framed in an old Victorian frame which has some losses due to age but is stable and gives the painting character. Overall just a fun and unique piece. Painting is unsigned. Unsure of country of origin. Additional detail photos available upon request.
From the collection of a Boulder, Colorado interior designer who collected many antique pieces from France.
Surface scratches and abrasions from rough handling at some point in time. There is some craquelure in the upper left and lower right quadrants but it is not loose. A few spots on the background area, see photos. Old Victorian frame is shabby chic and has losses in the plaster applique...
