$660.00 

A set of four reverse painted glass pieces of florals and birds. They seem to have been done as two pairs, the larger measuring 10 X 12 1/2"; the smaller ones 5 1/2" X 4 1/2". These loosely done art works- splashy, and bright. These are English in origin and often backed with silver or tin foil.

The frames, fragile and loose, appear original, with traces of gold paint or gilt, and ...click for details

$3,200.00 

Two hand sewn Egyptian revival textile tapestry like wall hangings, each about 20" X 52". The subdued colors of blues, reds, greens, browns, whites and black have faded with age, now looking like those thousands of years old tomb decorations. The 1920s revival of Egyptian interest was not the first in decorative arts, although we think that's when these originated. They were found mounted with large black half round frames, but have since been conservation mounted with plexi-glass ...click for details
