Beautiful large format engraving of a dutch man with a pipe walking his draft horse along the edge of a canal. Windmill and sailboat in the background.
Signed F.B. and dated [18]97 in the upper right hand corner.
Pair of exquisite paintings on delicate pith paper, also known as rice paper, which was made from thin sheets of the evergreen shurb Tetrapanax papyriferum, the “rice-paper plant.” The style and subject matter are typical of export paintings made for export to a Western market or for foreign visitors to Canton’s markets during the late Qing dynasty in the early to mid 19th century. Attractively framed in a red velvet surround.
Beautiful wood sculpture of a sturdy Bison or Buffalo battling a small Bear or Bear Cub. Beautiful rich dark patina on the wood gives it the look of a bronze statue. Art Deco style circa 1930. American West, American Wild West, cowboy life theme. This piece would be equally at home in an rustic Montana log cabin or an elegantly appointed Swiss alpine chalet.
