This is a wonderful, likely one of a kind shelf. It was made by noted Milwaukee architect and designer Russell Barr Williamson, who worked with Frank Lloyd Wright and continued in the Prairie School. This piece has exceptional form, conveyed through a sparse style. The detailing is very fine, with finger joints, a detailed, layered, multitoned finish, and an extra, hidden support bracket in the back. It was made in the 1940's or 50's, and measures 37 1/2" wide by 14 1/4" high by 8" deep. The condition is excellent, with a few slight scrapes on the bottom where it attaches to the wall. The price is $450.00. Inventory Code: TCHO. Painted wood shelf ... Another view ... From the other side ... Closeup of one end ... Closeup other end ... Closeup of middle ...

This is a very folky one-of-a-kind rooster weathervane made from galvanized sheet metal and mounted on part of a ventilator from a silo or barn. The rooster was hand cut from two pieces and put together. It then was bolted with supports to the ventilator which had a shaft with a hole put inside so the entire piece could rotate in the wind. This unusual piece came from the Midwest, likely Iowa, and was probably made in the 1940's or 50's. Being metal, there is some little rust, oxidation, and outside wear, but it is in generally very good condition. The rooster is 19" long by 20" high. With the ventilator the entire piece is 35" long, 15" wide, and 27 1/2" high. The price is $425.00. Inventory Code: AKOT. Metal rooster ... The other side ... Front view ... Closeup ...

This is a pair of old wood wall pockets or sconces. They are made from pine and painted a dark red/orange which has aged with weather. They were likely used in a garden as plant holders. Because of being used outdoors age is difficult to determine. They could be as old as from the 1920's or 30's. These pieces were originally either part of a larger construction or attached to something like a fence, as there are nail holes and a matching unpainted area on the back of both. They are very attractive and functional and could be used either inside or out. Each is about 22" high, 12 1/2" wide, and 6" deep. The paint is solid, not flaking. The price for the pair is $175.00.
