We’re delighted to have found an outstanding collection of antique Victorian seashell art that we discovered while treasure hunting on Martha’s Vineyard. If you love decorating with vintage “beach” memorabilia, these are one of the nicest additions you can add to your decor.

 From a charming turn-of-the-19th century seaside “Gingerbread cottage”, these gems are now available to be shared & admired again.  These are the nicest we’ve ever offered in terms of condition, assortment and design. Similar to “Sailor’s Valentines”, outstanding detail and patience required for these one of a kind hand-made pieces dating from the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. 

Features here is one of the highlights of the collection.  A miniature “dresser” complete with mirror, “faux bois” painted sides, elaborately decorated. Remarkable detail down to the mock drawers & faux brass handles. Artist over 100 years ago took great care with the placement of the miniature shells and the overall artistic designs.  Intricate pattern. This is a Very special piece, especially with the details of the drawers (don’t open, faux design.) Excellent addition to a serious collection & display.  Available at Connectibles.

We are featuring a group of WPA Prints that are quite exceptional. From our own personal MUSEUM quality collection, we are downsizing and able to offer a select group of these historical works of art. These are guaranteed authentic 1930’s works of art, NOT modern reproductions. All are from the New York City Graphic Arts Division and provide a unique opportunity to own both a striking work of art AND a true piece of United States “history.”

Two are pictured here, one a SIGNED ORIGINAL 1940s lithograph print by artist SAUL KOVNER, (American 1904-1982) titled “Skaters, Crotona Park.”  Terrific winter scene of the famous Bronx New York park.  Signed , inscribed in graphite center & lower right. For an extra whimsical touch, SAUL included his name & date on a sign IN the actual print.  The other is a SIGNED ORIGINAL 1930’s lithograph print by artist JACOB KAINEN, (American 1909-2001) titled “CONVALESCENT.”   Signed and titled, Federal Art Project NYC WPA stamp on lower left.

Jacob Kainen worked for the NYC FAP from 1935-1942. He became a print-maker, curator of the Smithsonian’s collection of graphic arts, and a collector of prints, particularly those of German expressionists. During the 1930’s he became a social realist & influential member of the NY Graphics Arts division; After WWII he moved to the Washington, DC area & assumed a leadership role in the arts community. Later work became primarily abstract.

Rogers Silverplate Cruet Caster Set Triple Plate 1880

by

We recently found a beautiful Rogers Brothers Turning Wheel 4 Station Cruet Caster Set. This set is in excellent condition considering it was made in the period 1870 – 1880. It has the Rogers Mark on the turning wheel.  The four bottles included with the set are Oil, Vinegar, Mustard, and Salt.  We found a reference to this item in an 1880 catalog, and the cost was $4.25.

The Stand is about 14″ high and 7″ wide. The turning wheel features a very nice leaf and floral decoration around its outer circumference. This set displays very nicely and has 4 matching bottles, which I am told is very rare. This is truly a rare find from the treasure hunters at Connectibles.
