$49 USDAntique framed portrait of lady equestrienne and horses
Home Decor:Framed Artwork
A lovely portrait of a lady and her horses, this old print is in an oval tin frame with what appears to be the original glass. Dressed in a brilliant red riding habit, whip in hand, her stock tie is adorned with a horse shoe pin. In the background, you'll see two horses, they are bridled and ready to set off for a morning canter. The frame is gold toned, with some wear and a dent at the bottom, not visible from the front. A small tear to the print at the top, the backing has its clips and hanger ...
$34 USDAntique lithographed metal tin tray, still life with fruit
Home Decor:Accessories
This is an early tin tray, dating to the 1900-1914 era, nicely lithographed. A wicker basket is overflowing with luscious fruit, apples and pears and grapes and oranges. I even see a banana! Measuring 11" by 16", it has a curled lip and sloping sides, about an inch deep. There is, as you can see, some litho loss, and I've shown you a close up of it. But still I found this old tray so attractive, with vivid colors and a wonderful design, and the damage is reflected in the price. Charming in a ...

There are some small areas of loss to the raised floral sprays on the side, as well as small bits on the top and bottom embellishments, but they are fairly difficult to notice. There is a water stain to the print, but it's still attractive, and I am really ...

A pair of delightful Black Americana figures, done in wood and cheerfully painted. Our ladies have the most charming expressions as they point their fingers at each other, a sweet duo. Obviously handmade, they stand about 14.5" tall and 8.25" from pointing finger to hip. The material looks to have been repurposed, lovingly made from another item, you can see that from the back side. A few paint chips just add to the vintage look, with the paint in cheery shades of red, yellow, blue and brown. ...
$10 USDVintage artist signed postcard black Chow Chow dog
Home Decor:Postcard
Made in Switzerland, this old postcard features a gorgeous black Chow Chow. He looks to be quite a sober lad, doesn't he, with his oh so serious expression. I thought this was unusual, as it was a black, instead of the more typical red Chow. Signed J. Rivst, it has a divided back and is postally unused, in good condition, with a bit of minor edge wear.

$62 USDVintage British toffee tin, Christmas and Santa Claus c. 1950
Home Decor:Tins
Made for the English toffee firm of Fillery's, this tin features Santa, or Father Christmas, checking his list of Lucky Boys and Girls. Over his shoulder, a bag of toys, including a darling Golly or Golliwog. Octagonal in shape, with a lift off lid, this tin does have wear, as you can see. A spot of litho loss just above his list, some scratches and some pin sized dents. Still, it displays well, so I couldn't pass it up. This holiday tin is 5.25" by 4" by 1", a sweetie for the Christmas season.
$24 USDVintage tin litho target toy, shooting gallery, wild animals, Wolverine
Home Decor:Toys
I loved the graphics on this tin litho target, those snarling animals, the ferocious lion, even the elephant looks a little grumpy! Each animal, a gorilla, a wolf, a bear, the lion, a rhinoceros and the elephant, has a point value. Below the animals, a row of swimming ducks, pretty tame after the fierce creatures above them. Various sized holes beneath each animal, as you can see, and no marking to tell the maker of this toy game part, made by Wolverine, which screams 1950's to me. Measuring 11" ...

$26 USDVintage English biscuit tin, coaching and horses
Home Decor:Tins
A lovely old fashioned scene on the lid of this tin, with snappy horses pulling a fancy coach, while a gentleman with his two dogs looks on. The tin has a fancy shape and while the sides are in excellent condition, the lid has, as you can see, general overall wear. Still, the scene is clear and I don't mind a tin that shows it's age, but that's a personal preference for you to decide. It has a hinged lid, with the hinges in good working order, with the curved sides beautifully decorated in gilt ...
$39 USDVintage ladies powder compact, English village scene
Home Decor:Powder Compacts
A charming country village scene decorates the top of this compact, so very very British! Thatched houses line the road, with a castle in the background, climbing roses cascading down the stone walls. A mother and her two children stand in the lane, obviously welcoming father home, as he rides towards them on his work horse. Inside the mirror is excellent, and the sifter remains, with traces of loose powder. The back of the compact is brass, and in nice condition with one shallow dent. Measuring ...

Home Decor:Tins
A candy tin from Britain, another of the Christmas tins in my shop, featuring Santa zipping across the sky in his sleigh. Our Father Christmas is driving his team of two reindeer, one of them with a red nose, so perhaps Rudolph?

At Santa's feet, milk bottles in a crate marked "Of human kindness" and at his back, a sack filled with toys. ...

What a fab Valentine's Day card for the dog lover, a blue ribbon winner at the dog show.

$115 USDFramed yard long print, kittens at play
Home Decor:Framed Artwork
A charming depiction of young cats, these kittens are having a rollicking good time. There are eleven of them, tumbling and rolling and in general enjoying themselves. It is framed in old barn wood, painted white, with just the right amount of chipping to give it that great shabby look. The size framed is 37" by 12", so a true yardlong print. This is not a particularly old one, not antique, although the print does have some age to it, and it has so much appeal. I do have an antique yard long of ...

Such a fun find for me, this terrific old painted wood clown with five hanging pegs. He's got such a great look to him, with his laughing eyes, his wide open mouth and his truly terrific red hair.
