Here is a very interesting and unusual carved whimsy. The cage is a cube with rounded corners and circular openings on all sides. Inside is a stylized 6 pointed star, like a jack, which is free to move inside the cage. There is a square center from which radiate out long cone shaped rays. This piece is fairly old, probably from the late 1800's or turn of the century. The cage is about 2 1/4" across the sides, while the star is actually a little bit larger as the tips protrude from the cage. The lines visible in some of the photos are not cracks: they were put there by the maker, probably to line up his work as he carved. The condition is good, with a little bit of wear, some very slight loss to the wood, and some tiny holes that apparently were from nails and seem original to the piece. The price is $250.00.

This is a large, exceptional old wood carving depicting Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden together with the Snake and Apple Tree. It is done in great detail in full, deep relief around the entire hard pine log. It has a wonderful old surface and patina. In a very unusual manner, this is actually two full scenes carved on opposite sides. One depicts Eve reaching for the apple with the serpent overhead, while the other shows the Angel ordering them away. Before, Adam and Eve are naked, after they are wearing fig leaves. Inscribed on the base of the "after" side is the word "Banishment". This carving is most likely from the late 1800's and is in excellent condition with very slight bark loss on the base. The piece is about 38" high by 12" by 12". The price is $4500.00. Inventory Code: CCPA. Adam and Eve carving, "Banishment" ... The other side, in the Garden ... Another angle ... Fourth view ...

This is a very striking, bold, chevron strips quilt. It has strong colors and a great design. While it certainly can be used, it would look wonderful hung and displayed. The fabrics are silks, satins, and velvets. It was previously described also as using late 19th century silk most often found in cravats and waistcoats; possibly tailoring scraps. The size of the quilt is 56 1/2" by 60 1/2", which contributes to the ease in which it can be shown. The overall condition is excellent; although there are three very small tears in the border, less than 1/4" each. One diagonal black strip is fragile, with some loss at the edges, all of the other fabrics seem strong and sturdy. On the back there is some very faint yellowing and a few tiny pin holes. The age is from the late 1800's or early 1900's. The price is $1500.00. Inventory Code: CRCR. Silk chevron quilt ... Closeup, one corner ... Second corner ... Third corner ... Fourth corner ...

This is an old hand forged cobbler's tool which was used by putting the end of the wood piece under the arm and then leaning down on it to put pressure on the object being worked. From the 1800's, this piece has a wonderful surface - worn, rich, and with a great feel. We are not sure specifically what use it had, but the "business end" is rather sharp, so likely for cutting of some sort. The entire tool is 18 1/2" long by about 8" wide. The handle is 1 1/2" thick at the widest part. It is in very good, old, used, condition. The price is $120.00. Inventory Code: TWHS-B. Cobbler's tool ... Two more views.
