The 19th century meerschaum carved painting is an elegant and exceptional piece depicting a scene with a female figure surrounded by putti.

Sparrows Amidst Blackberry Bushes - Vintage Giacomelli Ornithological Print
Located in Langweer, NL
Charming Sparrows Amidst Blackberry Bushes - Vintage Giacomelli Ornithological Print, circa 1891.
This exquisite print, titled "Les Mûres" (The Blackberries), showcases the delicate beauty of nature through the eyes of renowned French artist Hector Giacomelli. The artwork captures a serene moment in the underbrush, where two sparrows perch gently among lush green leaves and ripe blackberries. The intricate detailing of the birds and the surrounding foliage reflects Giacomelli's mastery in depicting avian life and natural settings.
Hector Giacomelli (1822–1904), a celebrated French watercolorist, engraver, and illustrator, was best known for his vivid and lifelike paintings of birds. His works, often inspired by the natural world around him, have been highly regarded for their detail, color, and emotional depth.
This print is a Farbdruck (color print), a technique involving the use of multiple colors to produce a richly detailed image. Likely created using chromolithography—a popular method at the time—this print brings out the vibrant greens of the leaves and the deep reds and purples of the blackberries with striking clarity and realism.
The print dates to 1891, part of a series by Giacomelli that focused on birds and their natural habitats. Measuring approximately 32 by 23.5 cm, the print features wide white margins, which, though slightly browned and stained with age, serve to frame the artwork beautifully.
The print was likely published in France, where Giacomelli lived and worked, and where his art was widely appreciated.
As with many of Giacomelli's prints from this era, this artwork was likely produced in a limited edition, making it a prized piece for collectors of ornithological art. The exact number of prints made is unknown, but given its age and condition, it would be a valued item in any collection.
The print shows typical signs of aging, with some browning and slight staining on the margins. However, the central image remains vivid, capturing the viewer's attention with its lifelike portrayal of sparrows amidst the blackberry bushes.
This print, like others in the series, exemplifies Giacomelli's dedication to capturing the beauty of nature, making it a wonderful addition to any collection of vintage art...

Large Framed Japanese Embroidery Dragon Tapestry
Located in Atlanta, GA
An impressive Japanese embroidery tapestry circa 1890s Meiji period, presented with brocade border on linen canvas in a Lucite shadow box. The stunning design features three dragons coiling and flying in the clouds. The high relief technique used to render the dragons using mostly the silver threads gives this piece a tremendous sense of motion. The most auspicious mythological creature in Japan and China, dragons were a very popular motif in textile art. In this particular piece, it is the impressive size, the superb craftsmanship, the profuse use of silver threads and near perfect condition that set it apart. Japanese Meiji textiles were widely exhibited in the west during turn of the 20th century at the international exposition. It was used to showcase the Japanese aesthetics with the techniques at their pinnacle. These expositions solidified the country's images overseas and felled the Japanese craze in the west, which turned out to be a long-lasting influence on the western art. Many pieces were purchased and stayed in the west. It is likely this estate piece was from one of the expositions based on its high quality.
