Victorian Wall Pocket ~ Carved Walnut ~ Needlepoint

Offered for auction is an unusual Victorian-era decorative wall mount. An all hand-carved walnut plaque with a large needlepoint pocket. 23-1/2" long and 14-1/2" at it's widest point. From the back, you can see that the entire plaque is cut and worked from a single piece of Walnut; no joints or applied pieces! Stamped with a number "38." Nicely carved Stag's head that unfortunately is missing it's rack or horns. A small chip out of one ear and two small splits from age in the open work; that's it, otherwise excellent.

The center area of the pocket, the stag's head and red background is needlepoint. The decorative floral area around the red background is all done with tiny glass beads that are hand-sewn to the pocket; an amazing amount of fine work. Some minor bead loss but evident only on close inspection. All in all, quite a lot of skilled work in putting this all together.

Great item for the serious collector, sure to please! Pictures show good detail, modest reserve. » Continue reading "Victorian Wall Pocket ~ Carved Walnut ~ Needlepoint"

ANTIQUE VICTORIAN 78" FIRE SCREEN, PEACOCK EMBROIDERY

Fabulous and rare antique Victorian era 78" pole style fire screen or firescreen, richly grained rosewood with carved feet, scrolled framework and a gorgeous exotic bird themed embroidery panel: a peacock and flowers! YES, this one stands a total of 78", 6.5', 198cm!! Large but equally impressive are the style and condition. A beautiful tri-footed base with carved feet, the framework for the embroidery (the actual screen portion) with a wonderful scrolled border and all in either solid or veneered rosewood! Heck, even the original turned finial is in place! A decorators' piece for sure, I know you've already thought of the perfect place for it so.....don't miss out!
Very good condition. Original embroidery panel with no rips or tears though there is some age darkening in places and possibly a missing stitch or two. The screen frame appears to be veneered rosewood but I can't be certain, it also appears solid when you look at it from the edges or where there is a hairline age/drying crack. The lower finial (on embroidery frame) has been reattached and the top finial has some veneer restoration. The actual pole has some pitting and scratching (the screen is held in place by a bolt). The fabric back, that would have covered the wood embroidery stretching frame, is missing. Now, the not so good news . The screen portion, base and finial all come apart but that center pole is basically one 72" piece. We'll need to mail this one in two packages, the pole in one and screen & base in another so count on around $100 as the shipping expense. See pictures for measurements. » Continue reading "ANTIQUE VICTORIAN 78″ FIRE SCREEN, PEACOCK EMBROIDERY"

The lamp stands 68" to the top of the glass chimney shade. You may pick the lamp up in Springfield Tn. (about 25 miles north of Nashville), or I will happily deliver it within the Nashville area for a nominal fee. (Gas money). » Continue reading "Antique Brass Converted Victorian Parlor Floor Lamp"
