Late 1800s Carved Antler of English Bulldog with Silver Mounts by Smauel Jacobs on Walking Stick
A Very Special Collection of carved wood nutcrackers, Folk Art, Walking Sticks and other pieces will be up for sale.
A local collector has decided to downsize their amazing collection. I will note which pieces are coming from their collection and more items will be coming in soon. If you have interest in one more item or are interested in hearing about what is coming in, please contact me.
A circa late 1800’s walking stick with carved antler English Bulldog head with English Silver band. The dog is carved from a piece of antler with inset glass eyes. The decorated silver band is stamped with English Sterling marks and date of 1895.
The shaft is a hardwood with a shellac finish.
Condition: some marks on the shaft, very minor. The carving is in very, almost near perfect condition. Some wear to the silver band.
Size: 35” long x 2” high carving, silver collar is 2” long.
The marks appear to read Sterling London (England) from 1895. The maker is not clear, but appears to be “Sj”. If it is “SJ” then it might be Samuel Jacobs who was active in London from 1892-1916. By the look of the wear and style of walking stick, this could very well be the maker.

Original Pen and Ink 1957 Gladys Goldstein Baltimore Artist Expressionist Futurist Collection
A large portfolio collection of 1957 original pen and inks of Gladys Goldstein has come into the store.
Most of the pen and inks are dated and signed by the artist in 1957. Almost every piece shows the skill this artist had. The lines are continuous and executed with precision showing her almost stream of consciousness/ automatic drawings in an Expressionist Futurist style.
Each piece I have is an original, some are framed and others are loose pages. If you are interested in more, I will email you or wait or wait, I will post more on the site.
Gladys Goldstein was a Baltimore artist, 1918-2010 who started out painting and drawing as a naturalist and changed to a more abstract representation of nature and her surroundings.
She is quoted, “The negative space seemed so much more important than the positive,” she said. “I began to see differently and to think differently. So I began to paint abstractly.”
Size: framed 12 x 15 inches

Bronze Bud Vase of Melusine French Mythological Mermaid Early 1900s
A very nice with strong detail bud vase with mermaid. I believe this mermaid to be a portrayal of Melusine.
Melusine was a French Mythological Mermaid. She is usually depicted as a woman who is a serpent or fish from the waist down (much like a mermaid). She is also sometimes illustrated with wings, two tails or both.
In this bronze bud vase, you can see the serpents at the base on the backside of the vase.
The vase is unmarked, but I have not taken the bottom off. The screws do not appear to have been removed in a long time.

Late 1800’s stamp portraits of the faculty of Eastman College in Pokeepsie New York.

Each portrait has the sitters name on the bottom section of the portrait. The page is beautifully decorated and labeled with the each person’s job at the college. I am sad to say that two of the portraits have not survived. You can see two blank areas on the left page.
The estate has framed the page and I can ship it with or without the glass frame.

A Rare Victorian Gutta Percha Mouring Jewelry Set With Original Box
Gutta Percha products are from the mid to late 1800’s. The sap of a tropical tree has been used by dentist, furniture makes, jewelry, photography cases, golf balls and many other industrial products.
A product that could be molded and it’s dark color, gutta percha was used in the Victorian era mourning jewelry.
The advent of photography, the occult movement and other factors, the Victorian era society had a small fascination with the deceased. Photographs were taken of the departed, the family members would make jewelry out of their hair and it was common for a widow to wear black in mourning for years after a beloved had died.
Here is a wonderful piece and is rare due to the fact that Gutta Percha, being a natural material, have been lost to damage and to insect eating the material. So to have a set come in with the original box is amazing.
The set includes: Earrings, Necklace, Bracelet and Broach.
The set is designed with oak leaves which is very popular in this time:
“hospitality, stability, strength, honour, eternity, endurance, liberty. It is believed to have been the tree from which Jesus Christ’s cross was made. In smaller pioneer cemeteries, it is common to place children’s graves near oak trees. The oak tree was the tree of life in pre-Christian times. The Druids worshipped the oak. The oak, oak leaves and acorn can stand for power, authority or victory. Often seen on military tombs”
The original box, the four piece set puts this set above others out there for sale.
Condition: Some areas have small chips off the leaves, I have tried to photograph these areas to give you a visual description. One of the earrings has a new backing. The metal behind the gutta percha has tarnished.
The box has wear but is intact.
Size: box is approx. 9” x 9”
