Latest antiques and untiques

Been super busy the last two weeks.  

Otherwise, you'd be seeing more here.

The wait has nothing to do with no virus nothing.  

So...


We have the lovely Euterpe, Greek muse of music  


She probably began life next to a clock, circa 1910 or so.
=============================================================================

Next we have Pickard China game birds salad plates

Amazingly, Pickard is still in business. and still making their china in the USA.

What I'm selling is seven plates.  Two mallard/duck plates.

Two plates with Canadian geese

two plates with pheasants

and one plate with grouse.

=============================================================================

this is a marvelous beauty

in the form of trinket box


=============================================================================

     hors d'oeuvre picks, fruit designs   SOLD

As tiny as these things are - less than 4", plus the holder - it's amazing how heavy it is.
=============================================================================

Three AYDORABLE vintage accordion pleat aprons

each and every one with its original tag



============================================================================

This is something über-awesome, and yet for the life of me I couldn't get a good photo

Chinese silk yardage, background color is a slightly bluish gray


=============================================================================

beautiful inlaid scene of Venice that doubles as a music box!
It plays 'Santa Lucia'   SOLD
=============================================================================
That's all for now.  But as always, there is TONS more in the pipeline.

The Star Made Me Buy It

Today's star is... 
Ray Milland for Personna Blades

Unlike most of the other actors from the UK, who still sounded British/Welsh/Scottish throughout their US careers, I don't recall Ray Milland sounding even remotely not American.  

The Tuesday Song of the Week

I love love love this.

Loved it even before I got to see Nabucco, which I did around 2013.  Opera Philadelphia on a Sunday in October.

It was beyond awesome.

'Va Pensiero' (aka 'Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves') - Albano Carrisi
