Dimensions: 9 7/8” H x 6 1/4” W x 5” D
A large pair of English split-leg Staffordshire poodles from the late 19th century, with sand textured coats to imply their thick hair.

Two seated poodles with painted, expressive eyes, worn gold collar and lock, and (more unusual) split legs. The ears and upper body exhibit a sandy texture to suggest a “Continental clip” that is given by a dog groomer where the hind legs are sheared smooth, which in these examples are indicated by the undecorated ceramic.

Vintage Bible Illustrated by Endre Balint 1966
$495.0014.13"H x 11"W x 3.38"D
Dimensions: 14 ⅛” H x 11” W x 3 ⅜” D
Vintage (circa 1966) La Sainte Bible illustrated by Hungarian artist, Endre Balint with text in French. This special collaboration combined the research and translation from École Biblique et Archéologique Française de Jérusalem (an academic institution founded in the late 19th century) with the bold, modern style of Balint to produce a work that was engaging and approachable to read for a wide audience. The colorful supporting images bring the text to life through thought-provoking scenes which are a complete departure from any previous styles or schools of religious art but still very attuned to the emotional and spiritual weight of the verses. Condition is very good with some wear to the red leather-bound cover; the gilded edges of the pages have dulled; some foxing of the paper, otherwise the plates are still vibrant to enjoy.

Dimensions: 20 ¼” H x 13 ⅛” W x 8 ¼” D
French 19th century handcrafted bridal, wedding, or marriage dome on stand.

Each example would have special and very personal meaning to the couple, such as flowers from the wedding bouquet, locks of hair from their children, and jewelery. At center is a red, tufted velvet seat surrounded by a gilt-metal garland of leaves on which a bird carrying a wreath is perched. Behind is a small mirror handpainted with little daisies plus two small mirrors on either side and below. This unique dome is a fascinating piece of history on its own, with space to create new memories in your home. Please view the detailed images to see more.
