Each issue, we put the spotlight on a particular subject. Whenever possible, we try to illustrate the articles with pieces that are available for purchase. Of course, in the case of some topics, this is not always possible. Interested in a piece that isn’t shown in this issue’s Shop in Your Slippers pages? Ask us...we’re just a click away. We may have simply run out of room |

and it’s always worth the chance...you just never know! Also, if you tell us that you’re looking
for something, we go into hyper-search mode!
Payment by PayPal, personal check, etc. is welcome and, as well, major credit cards can be used through PayPal. We also have a very liberal layaway policy. An antique is often a one-of-a-kind ...if the right piece is uncovered just when you need tires, we understand...believe me, there’s nothing worse than having to answer "No, I’m sorry" to "Do you still have…?" You’ll notice that prices are not shown; this is done to insure our customers’ privacy...we sell a lot of pieces as gifts or to other dealers and interior designers. It's also a way to encourage communication. More often than not, all of the wonderful characteristics of a piece can’t be squeezed into the description area and besides, do you really want everyone to know what you paid for something? If you have any questions or need a larger photograph, please remember that we’re just a click away! Ready?...slippers on? Let’s go shopping! First, the three items in
this issue's Peek into the Gallery
article...be sure to check out the article for additional, historical information. The mark for the Matfer
company says it all... Condition is excellent; one
small and very light scratch inside the back of Santa's hood and three
small areas of rust on the exterior. The earliest compasses originated in China and were used for Feng Shui before they were ever used for marine navigation. Feng Shui is used to determine the most auspicious positioning for burial sites or buildings of different sorts. It is also used to select the best times and locations for important events and the most beneficial layout of one's personal surroundings...home, office, etc. The instrument has a compass needle at the center, and concentric tables expanding out from the middle to numerous points containing data relating to astrology, time of day, the elements, directions, and forms of landscape - all the various factors thought to help in deciding the best orientation for one's life.
Vintage Keystone Agency
Photograph/Can-Can Dancing Dolls The photograph measures 7.75 inches wide by 5.75 inches high. It dates from circa 1930 and is in reasonable condition...the images above are direct scans...no retouching. There is a small tear top center that has been attended to with archival tape; as well, there are small missing areas on the top, left, and bottom edges; the lower right corner has been folded and the other corners are slightly rubbed. Once matted and framed, none of this will be apparent...only the great image! |
