Large Masterly Carved Swiss Black Forest Nutwood Chalet with Clock and Music Box
Located in Lisse, NL
Top quality, hand carved and truly impressive antique clock with 8 music melodies.
Over the years we have had the pleasure of owning and selling a number of beautiful Black Forest antiques, but never did we come accross a 19th century Black Forest clock with musical box of this size and with such amazing natural details and patina AND with the original clock and music box inside. And if that was not enough, this finest of Black Forest clocks is top quality carved from top to bottom in the form of a detailed Swiss chalet. Mind you, this very rare antique clock is entirely hand carved out of nutwood only, which is another sign of the quality of the workmanship and the richness of materials. We have added a large variety of photos so that you can see the many incredibly detailed parts of this Swiss chalet, such as the roof and chimney, the many doors, the stacked lumber outside, the doghouse, the outhouse on the side, the striking balconies, the goose sticking its head out through the balcony, the picked fence, the ladder going up to the barn loft, the clock inside the facade of the house, the music box cilinder in the base etc etc. This antique clock from the 1800s really comes with the most realistically carved chalet house you will ever see. To us, that too is a sign that this Black Forest music box...

Oil painting "Lorelei" Jules-Joseph Lefebvre attr. ca. 1890
Located in Klosterneuburg, AT
Jules Joseph Lefebvre (1834-1912) first came to Vienna when he exhibited at the Vienna World Exhibition in 1873. In 1879 he became honorable member of the Akademie of Fine Arts Vienna and was called to be a member of the jury of the First International Art Exhibition in Vienna at the Wiener Künstlerhaus in 1882.
From this moment on, he exhibited regularly in the Austrian Empire until 1902. In 1882, the Austrian Cultural Ministry purchased his portrait of “La Fiammetta”. In 1895 and 1896, the renowned Galerie Miethke exhibited works by him, the painting “Madeleine” from 1876 among them.
We believe that this particular work was to be exhibited at the “III. International Art Exhibition” in the Künstlerhaus in Vienna. The stock book of the exhibition clearly shows the entry in the French section of “Le Febre, Jule”, the name of the work “Lorelei” and the sales price of 35.000 Francs. The fact that the price is very high compared to his colleagues (Henner & Vibert 15.000 Francs) and that the frame for this piece was delivered in a separate box suggests that the work was quite large.
It was found in a Villa in Vienna’s 19th district. Not only the frame but also the size and quality of the painting instantly beguiles the beholder. The format and the mythological motif of the “Lorelei” are very much in line with other known paintings by this artist. The composition of the oeuvre is also typical of the works of Jules Lefebvre: a central female figurine in a classic Italian pose, one knee slightly in front of the other. The painted rock in the background is also similar to the actual “Loreley” rock wall in Germany near Koblenz.
Another beguiling fact is the model itself: in 1880, Jules Lefebvre discovered a young girl at the Hippodrome in Paris. Her name was Marie-Florentine Roger or Sarah Brown...

Early 20th Century Japanese Cherry Blossom Screen by Kano Sanrakuki
Located in Kyoto, JP
Cherry Blossoms
Kano Sanrakuki (1898-1981)
Showa period, circa 1930
2-panel Japanese Screen
Color, gofun and gold leaf on paper
Against a backdrop of gold-leafed ground, the lichen covered trunk and branches of the life-sized cherry blossom tree reach out and beyond the confines of the pictorial surface. The overall composition has a feeling of flatness which draws emphasis to the surface and the three-dimensionality of the cherry blossoms. Painstakingly built-up layers of thickly applied shell-white gofun detail the voluminous blossoms and cover large areas of this tour-de-force of Japanese Nihonga painting. By simplifying the background, minimizing the number of colors and depicting the blossoms with such heavy relief, the artist has emphasized the stunning presence of the cherry tree. The type of tree depicted is the Yae-Zakura; a double-layered type of cherry blossom famed for its beauty and strength. When we think of Japanese cherry blossoms, the first thing that comes to mind is Somei Yoshino variety, which has a single flower with five almost white petals. This type is fragile and easily blown away by strong wind or rain. Most of the double-flowered cherry blossoms begin to bloom when the Somei-Yoshino falls, and the flowering period lasts longer than that of the Somei-Yoshino.
Kano Sanrakuki originally studied painting at the Kyoto City Arts and Crafts School under the tutelage of Yamamoto Shunkyo...

Superb Ammi Phillips American Folk Art Portrait Painting, circa 1840
By Ammi Phillips
Located in Vero Beach, FL
Superb Ammi Phillips American Folk Art Portrait painting, circa 1840
We are proud of our acquisition of this authentic masterpiece by Ammi Phillips (1788-1865).
The finely rendered portrait depicts an attractive young girl in a delightful lifelike quality. The pretty face is a refreshing change from the stern expressions of most of the paintings showing mature female or male sitters. Phillips palette is dark with a strikingly dramatic use of light to her face.
The painting, on its original stretchers, is in untouched condition. The frame is period. This painting is unsigned, as are most of his works, but bares the unmistakable characteristics of a Phillips painting.
Portrait of a young girl holding a book and wearing a golden whistle.
