Elizabeth Bradley England Tapestry needlepoint TOBY the PUG Dog and Contented Cat Framed Completed

Posted on January 28, 2013 by Bill Webster

pugWe’re delighted to be offering a group of completed Elizabeth Bradley English tapestry kits from her Victorian Animals series. BEAUTIFULLY hand done, the needlepoint quality is outstanding. Instant handcrafted gallery for your home!  New kits alone are $230, mounting and framing easily $200, and then there’s the hours and hours of needlepointing to bring these to you ready to hang.cat

Each has been professionally framed under glass with an elegant rich burl wood frame, and measure 19″ x 19″.  Frames are excellent but somebody piled these on top of each other to transport them so there are a few areas of scratch marks on each from the screws that touched them.

These beautiful needlepoints are available in our ebay store connectibles.

Huck Gee Kid Robot Barneys Marc Jacobs Skullhead Figure NRFB New Limited Ed Rare

Posted on January 14, 2013 by Bill Webster

huck geeHuck Gee is a San Francisco-based illustrator, graffiti & graphic artist and toy designer. He has collaborated with Kidrobot on many series and individual runs of acclaimed toys.
 
Pictured here is a Kidrobot‘s 100% authentic 12-inch Super Toy “Skullhead”  figure created by artist Huck Gee. It is a limited edition RARE work produced exclusively by Kidrobot for high-end fashion retailer Barneys New York. Master Huck Gee’s signature Skullhead is immaculately dressed by one of the world’s most famous fashion designers – Marc Jacobs, who supplied the actual fabric used in his Men’s Spring 2005 collection to ensure authenticity.
 
The toy is packaged in an individually numbered black box that is patterned after the Barney’s New York signature black shopping bag. Package includes a ring, 2 bracelets, a velvet storage bag and a Skullhead sword. The sword is rather SHARP, so THIS ARTIST TOY IS NOT FOR THE USE OF CHILDREN. Only 250 such toys were made, and this one is numbered 96/250. The term “rare” is often tossed around in descriptions, but in this case the term absolutely applies. May be a long time before another Marc Jacobs figure is available again.
 
Condition:

  • Figure has never been removed from original packaging and is mint new condition.
  • Box has wear and tear.
  • Original retail cost was $295.

This and many other great items are available in our ebay connectibles store.

Ladies & Gentlemen,Rolling Stones 1974 Movie orig POSTER Ziegfeld NYC Framed

Posted on November 30, 2012 by Bill Webster

2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the Rolling Stones and they are currently on their reunion tour!  Never a better time to add to your collection.

Pictured here is an original poster from the 1974 release of the concert film “Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rolling Stones” in New York City. Circus-style drawings for the “Stones World Famous Traveling Movie!” If you check on the internet, one sold for $368 in 2011 at auction, and they are getting harder to find.

The tour began at the Ziegfeld Theatre on April 15, 1974. Lots of info on Wikipedia about the very limited road show engagements. Has been stored away for decades in a simple metal, plastic & cardboard frame ready to hang. I believe it is mounted but may just be resting on the cardboard.

Details are:

  •  Measures 12″ x 36″
  • Excellent condition

Definitely interesting and unusual piece of memorabilia for your ROLLING STONES collection. Whimsical and interesting as a work of art as well.   We have other original tickets and Rolling stones memorabilia listed separately; happy to combine shipping for extra savings.  These can be found in our ebay store connectibles.

Antique Bisque 24″ Armand Marseille 390 Doll 7-1/2 Grand Dame Costume and Jewels

Posted on November 30, 2012 by Bill Webster

Pictured here is a beautiful Armand Marseille 24″ antique bisque doll, fresh from a local collector who took GREAT care of her beloved dolls and had extremely elaborate costumes designed for each one. She is the most elegantly dressed doll we’ve ever offered with a flowing cloak trimmed in Ostrich feathers, beaded purse, gilded fan, real kidskin gloves and tiara! A true “Grande Dame”, ready for a night at the opera.

Marked A 7-1/2 M on back of head, remnants of “made in Germany” on back. Hand sewn outfit has so many elegant layers that I decided NOT to undress her and possibly damage the clothing. Dripping with jewels and accessories, I believe the custom designed one of a kind outfit alone cost nearly $450.

Doll head is in excellent condition, no cracks or repairs. Eyes seem to stay open and I decided not to nudge them, although they are on a rocker.  Dimple in chin, real lashes as well as painted, blue glass eyes.

  • Human hair wig has crystal tiara as well as feathered headdress (slight bend in a feather.)
  • Long cloak has gold loops that allow doll to wear the cape by placing arms through the open loops.VERY beautiful.
  • Compo body underneath the clothing. I did see one area with a flake on arm.
  • Hand sewn clothing has incredible embellishment and details. Jewelry includes necklace earrings, with crystals on shoes and wrists.
  • Charming hanging purse AND folding fan, all beautiful and excellent.
  • Silk Dress has petticoat, netting, very full bosom, snaps in back. Excellent.
  • Doll stand included, ready to display.

An exceptional doll, one of a kind design, ready to join your collection.  She can be found in our ebay store connectibles.
