French Late 19th Century Landscape Painting
$395.0014"H x 20"W x 0.75"D
Dimensions: 14” H x 20” W x ¾” D
This French circa 1897 oil on canvas painting illustrates a rustic landscape with a dirt road in the foreground leading the eye into the forested surroundings of a placid lake. The tranquil scene benefits from the artist’s delicate touch of thin brushstrokes in a hazy palette that suggests the time of year to be late summer/early autumn. These organic textures invite the viewer in to get lost among the trees and earth. Signed with the initials MAP to the lower right and a date of 1897. Sold unframed, there is some loss of pigment around the edges. We believe this to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos.

Dimensions: 70 ¾” H x 82” W x 17 ¼” D
English early 20th century shop display case in a gorgeous marquetry-trimmed mahogany frame with three glass shelves mounted on steel brackets against a fabric lining. The narrow crown is emphasized by a line of marquetry in alternating dark and light woods in a cable twist effect for implied movement as it wraps around the angular (chamfered) corners. Three glass shelves disappear into the fabric lining the case which reads as a beach glass color, slightly faded in abstract patches from blue to celadon which is a lovely complement to the warmth of the mahogany. Decorative pilasters on the front are carved with a slight groove and outlined in painted gilt trim. There is evidence of a track on the top and bottom where there was once a set of sliding doors that have since been removed for easy access and engagement with personal collections of books, porcelain, trophies, and more. We believe this item to be in good antique condition considering its age. Please view the detailed image gallery for the current condition and message us with any questions.

French Early 20th Century Male Nude by Didier-Tourné

Dimensions: 37 ½” H x 31 ¼” W x 1 ½” D
An early 20th-century gilt framed oil on canvas painting by French artist Jean Didier-Tourné (1882-1967), depicting a lean, mustached male nude in a kind of contraposto stance as he turns away from the viewer in silhouette.
