Federal Overmantle Mirror

A beautiful, Federal, overmantle mirror. Look closely at this stunning mirror. Originally designed to go over a mantle, these mirrors are often found over sideboards or a mantle today. Hanging, it is 25.5″ tall by 63.75″ long.

An incredible Queen Anne card or gaming table with a drawer. The finish is in outstanding condition and has great age. The corners project out and the legs have acanthus leaves carved on the knees. (more…)

Fukagawa, Imari Vase

A beautiful, Imari vase with 2 panels on a black background. A solid black background really makes the art pop off the vase. In numerous areas, the flowers are raised. To top it off, the bottom is marked with the red Koransha and appears to be signed by Fukagawa but the signature is difficult to read. It stands 9″ tall and 6″ at its widest. Overall, it’s a very pretty piece and makes a nice statement.

Early 19th Century Imari Vase

A rare, early 19th century Imari vase from Japan. Look closely at this piece and compare it to the later 19th century pieces. Notice the color and artistry difference. The panels are quite different while the area above them has a more typical Imari feel to them. Look even closer and one will see only 3 panels! This is exceptional as most pieces have an even number of panels.  Overall, it stands 9 1/8″ tall and is 7 5/8″ in diameter. Japanese. Circa 1820-1850.

Pair of Hepplewhite Chairs

A nice pair of Hepplewhite side chairs. This sweet pair of chairs are elegant and sophisticated without being over the top. The pierced splat is beautiful and the legs are classically molded.

5 Piece Imari Garniture Set

An incredibly rare, 5 piece garniture set in Imari. While the 5 piece set was more commonly made in China, this set originates in Japan. Second, it is very rare to find a 5 piece set still together. (This is the only set we have ever owned!) The lidded jars are 12 1/2″ tall and 6 3/8″ in diameter. The smaller vases are 7 7/8″ tall and 4 3/8″ in diameter.  

Southern Pine Farm Table

A great solid walnut and yellow pine farm table. This table is fantastic. The proportions are amazing. (more…)

Maryland Chest

A sweet, bachelor’s chest of drawers.  This chest is a great size at 37 1/4″ wide, 33 3/4″ tall, and only 19 1/8″ deep.  The proportions are delightful.  Overall, the chest is in good condition.  The finish has a nice “glow” to it.  There are a few repairs on the drawer fronts and on the top of the chest(see pictures below).  One piece of the trim on the left side of the top is replaced too.  Here again, it is very well done and not detectable without serious, close inspection.  However, they are very well done and did not discourage me from purchasing the piece.  The feet are original while the pulls are replaced.  It should be noted that pulls are in the original holes.  Made out of mahogany, the secondary woods are poplar and yellow pine.  Due to the style and wood choices, this piece was most likely made in Maryland.  Circa 1780.
