Paper Mache Box - Vintage Lacquer Box - Indian Stash Box - Trinket Box - Warrior Horsemen Archers by HappyFortuneVintage

0
0

45.00 USD

Archer & swordmen warriors on horseback engaged in battle make for a dramatic scene on this vintage little black papier mache trinket box from India. The box is so colorful and pretty, it takes you a moment to realize there are several disembodied arms on the field.

This is a very old India Kashmir box. It is in very good condition for its age. There is a minor chip on the top along the edge which is barely noticeable (it is on the darker horse's back.) There is also some wear on the bottom of the box near the edge. This wear is on the box bottom and does not effect the design or show when the box is displayed.

Approximately 3" Diameter.
Marked "Made in India"

0
0

25.00 USD

In 1941, Jack Goldberg won this 3rd place silver medal most likely for his musical ability as the prize has a Greek lyre on it. Today, this Art Deco collegiate award would make a cool conversation piece pinned onto a jacket or coat.

The prize medal looks as if it was never removed from its velvet display board. It has the letters "EE" set in blue enamel which could possibly represent the letters of fraternity or academic society.

The medal is in very good vintage condition. It does have some tarnish mostly on the jump ring connecting the medal to the ribbon.

Measurements: Display board measures 3 1/2" x 2 1/4". The medal measures 1" x 3/4" not including the ribbon section.

Hotel Silver Plate Serving Vessels Broggi Milano Silver Plate - Individual Serving Creamer - Tea Bag Holders Butter Dishes - Table Decor by HappyFortuneVintage

45.00 USD

These small silver plate individual serving vessels were once used in Italian hotels. Dating from the 1930s, I'm not sure of their original purpose, but you could use them for butter, lemon slices, as tea bag holders, individual creamers or salad dressing servers, etc.

Two of the vessels are bottom marked "Hôtels Giacomelli." The other vessel is bottom marked "Albergo Tettuccio" and is also marked "Broggi." Fratelli Broggi Milano made silver plate serving wear for the hotel and steamship trade.

The vessels will come to you with a beautiful patina of age acquired over the years. If you prefer your silver plate polished, please use a gentle cleaning method as these are vintage plated pieces.

Look closely at the photographs and you will see that the vessels vary ever so slightly in size, averaging approximately 4 inches across including the handle by 2 inches across by 1 1/2 inches tall.

Mary Pickford Compact - Vintage Rouge Compact - Enamel Compact - Hollywood Star - Vintage Mirror Compact by HappyFortuneVintage

125.00 USD

Rare Mary Pickford rouge compact would make a great gift for a compact collector or Hollywood star enthusiast.

America's sweetheart, silent film star, academy award winner, producer, author, business woman, co-founder of the Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers, Mary Pickford was quite a character on and off the screen.

In 1938, she founded a short-lived cosmetic company. This rare compact with Pickford's portrait profile and signature is a rare surviving relic of her brief foray into cosmetic production.

The compact is in very good condition showing light wear to the enamel for its age. It closes securely. The rouge cake has been lightly used and retains its "Mary Pickford" embossing. The rouge cake is loose and appears as though it would fall out of the compact should you turn it over and not support the rouge cake. I have not attempted to do so, as I would not want to break the cake. The rouge applicator puff has Mary Pickford's profile image. The small white enamel compact has a raised profile portrait of Mary Pickford on the front and her signature on the back. The compact has a sticker label on the back identifing the rouge as "Light California Sunrise No. 2." The mirror is in good condition.

Compact measures 1 5/8" in diameter.

French Literature - Les Caves Du Vatican - Andre Gide - Le Livre de Poche The Vatican Cellars Modernist Fiction Gallimard Paris The Pope by HappyFortuneVintage

15.95 USD

Andre Gide's Les Caves Du Vatican (The Vatican Cellars), a French literature classic and an outstanding example of Modernist fiction, was first published in 1914 about the same time as the outbreak of WW I. Classified as a novel, Gide referred to his work as a "sotie," a form of parody or satirical play dating from the Middle Ages.

Yes, it's in French. And, yes, it contains irony.

This Le Livre de Poche (pocket book) edition published by Galliard is in very good to excellent condition. The spine is so tight, it's possible that this copy has never been read. Why not be the first. And, if you don't want to read it, display it. The cover art is just beautiful.

35.00 USD

Oh dear, this moose is so cute. I couldn't resist picking him up at an estate sale despite his flaws. Made by Copr Ornamental Arts & Crafts, this chalkware moose figurine is amazingly detailed, and would be the perfect accent for your rustic home decor or man cave retreat.

I couldn't find much information on Copr Ornamental. They were known for making chalkware TV lamps in the 1950s.

The moose is in fair vintage condition. It looks as if his head has been repaired. He is missing a portion of his surrounding forest vignette (please see photograph three). There is some paint loss and nicks. The back of the piece is flat and could easily be incorporated into a new work of moose art.

Piece measures approximately 9" long x 6 3/4" tall x 3 1/4" deep. It is impressed along the upper back edge "Copr Ornamental Arts & Crafts."
