Introducing

their renowned auction

house, Theriault’s of

Annapolis, Maryland.

From its beginning the firm

specialized in memorabilia

from vintage childhoods,

designed for the adult

collector. Now that it is time

you’ll find we have what are

you are looking for, because

childhood, we revere it.

Bavarian Pewter Art

Florence & George’s Bavarian pewter art pieces allow you to craft your own Easter landscape!

We provide the bunnies. We provide the

background and the foreground. The only

thing you need to provide is the artistic

inspiration.

Produced utilizing two-century old

European techniques, each Bavarian

pewter piece is cast from hand-sculpted

molds and each piece is entirely hand-

painted on both sides. Because of the hand-

painting some slight variations in coloring

from what’s pictured can occur.

Christine Originals Situated in the heart of the Shawangunk Mountains, the small art studio of Christine Schukow overlooks the beautiful Hudson valley of New York. She even cares for local injured wildlife there. Yes, Christine has carved out a little paradise for herself in the world. Who better, then, to create some pockets (or shadowboxes, in this case) of life than her?

The reality of these dioramas is drawn from her vast collection of vintage photos as well as her personal memories of times gone by. Christine creates not only realistic depictions with particular attention to detail, but she also captures the feeling of those times whether it is a classic 1950s-era drive-in theater or a Victorian glass collection.

Each piece is signed by the artist.

CRANBERRY GLASS COLLECTIONA framed shadowbox collection of ten contemporary hand-blown miniature cranberry glassware presented against the backdrop of an elaborate Victorian wall-paper pattern. 19” x 11” shadowbox. 1" glassware. GH-438. $475.

| “THE BIRDS” DRIVE-IN THEATER The best part of this animated diorama? It’s not the animated lights on the marquee. It’s not the miniature waiting line of cars. It’s the few small birds flying over the marquee announcing that tonight’s feature is Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”. 15” x 12”. GH-437. $650.

CLASSIC ARTIST MODEL OF HORSEYoung aspiring artists require models to study. If that young artist happens to live in a city, he might have a hard time finding a

real horse to pose, which is the exact reason that for centuries models this detailed have been produced. Twenty points

of articulation in the legs allow for every motion pose between a stand-still and a gallop, and

a uniquely-designed segmented neck

with a hinged head allows for seemingly

infinite head posing. It

also makes an elegant display piece on its own just as

the original models have done since the 1800s. 10". GH-353. $125.

Gifts for the Home

RENAISSANCE DOMINOES Though the name of the Dutch Renaissance artist who hand-carved the original ivory domino set has long been lost to the ages, his work lives on in this faux-ivory reproduction. The set includes 28 individually-carved

planes that were more artful than they were functional, Autour Du Monde, made of chrome-finished metal, will

lend a sleek art deco ambience to any room in your house. 11” wing span. 7”

Wooden Art

Baldwin Wooden ArtIn 1976, Nebraska native Steve Baldwin left his job in teaching so that he could parlay his hobby of wood working into a career, and his career into art. His first creation was the Rumble Seat Car, and that model remains among his most popular to this day. Decades later, it’s grown to a family business though Steve still is the lead creative force. Among the wood used in Baldwin pieces are walnut, cherry, maple, rosewood, and padauk, and since each piece of wood will have a different graining then the one before it, no two Baldwin art pieces will be exactly the same.

| BICYCLEA classic bike, inspiring memories of your first freedom, the wind at your back. Comes with a matching wooden stand, a great desk accessory and perfectly sized for doll display. 10”h. SW-004. $245.

RUMBLE SEAT CARIn the “good old days” when a kid wanted a ride down the street there were two options; the running boards and, for the less adventurous, the rumble seat. The classic car features removable wheels, opening doors, and even a removable hard-top. 16”l. x 8”h. SW-002. $295.

FARM TRUCKThere is no more durable and long-lived a machine in Americana than a farm truck. It hasn’t really even been broken in until it crosses over 100,000 miles, and no matter how old it is, or what it was used for, it still will always have the well-used and well-loved look. 21”l. SW-003. $650.

PENNY-FARTHINGAlso known as the “high wheel”, the penny-farthing, though short-lived as a phenomenon, has become synonymous with Victorian-era cycling. Comes with a matching wooden stand. 8”l. SW-005. $175.

1930S STYLE GAS TANKThough not used for decades and decades the visible-style gas tank is still a classic image to vintage automotive enthusiasts with its unique tall construction and “visible gasoline” opening at the top. It even has the rounded top where the company logos would go. 13”. SW-007. $85.

WOODIE AND CHRISNothing makes summer feel more fun than water. Be it the roaring blue ocean or a peaceful lake, water has the power to invigorate us and soothe us simultaneously.

Mullanium Art

SONG BIRD WITH PLUME } An antique croquet ball, festooned in

warm autumn colors, is the perfect perch for this fall songbird. Antique

adornments include "APPLE Sun Cured" metal label on its back, wings

comprised of cut metal clockwork pieces and rulers. And a real feather

plume rests on top of it's head. 7". GH-393. $275.

GOLDEN BIRD ON WHEELS A simple and classically designed wooden bird contrasts with the intricate and elegant antique metal pieces which adorn the Golden Bird to form a classic toy. 5". GH-325. $225.

CARDINAL } A vibrant red Cardinal is the focus of this

Mullanium piece. Metal adornments include pieces from vintage watches, clocks, rulers, and

other measuring devices and even a metal tag labeled

"VINCO". 4 ½". GH-394. $225.

"Steampunk"Though the phrase "Steampunk" first originated in the 1980s, the roots of the genre were first established in the time period it emulates, the 1890s, with the works of early science fiction giants like H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, and Mary Shelley. Today the genre and its precepts can be found in every layer of entertainment and now, thanks to Pennsylvanian artists Jim and Tori Mullan, the genre has infiltrated classic American art pieces.

Jim and Tori's parallel love of antique watches and vintage toys drew them together over two decades ago, but their artistic endeavors

bonded them for life. Artistic endeavors, which include the adorning of antique metal pieces to wooden animal sculptures, forms a striking juxtaposition. Each piece is as unique in its creation as it is in its originality, a surefire centerpiece for your home.

Because each wooden piece is adorned using unique antique pieces (such as binoculars and croquet balls) no two pieces are exactly alike. Each is signed and dated by the artist.

The Bronze Sculptures For Scott Nelles, the journey to artistry began in the 1970s when he took work in a small privately-owned foundry in the Pacific Northwest. Days spent boiling over industrial fires were followed by evenings simmering in a basement workshop. Time and devotion forged the artist that Scott Nelles became. Each bronze and aluminum sculpture is cast in a mold hand-sculpted by Nelles and then sandblasted and polished to a rich lustrous finish. Each is signed and dated by the artist.

It was more than three decades ago

when Ute Bittl of Munich, Germany

discovered the treasured little world of

dollhouses and the objects and people

that live within. Her little homes within

a big house (her own, in a beautiful

wooded park in Munich) came to fill an

entire room, and then spread into every

other nook of her big home. And along

the way, came dolls, hundreds of them,

some small enough for the doll houses,

and those larger, displayed alongside

the doll rooms and houses in a magical

childhood scene.

These treasures, as well as other

wonderful rarities from European and

American private collectors are to be

auctioned in a 350 lot Marquis auction,

aptly titled “Home at Last.” Treasures

include splendid French bébés from

makers ranging from Bru to Schmitt

to Steiner to Jumeau to Mothereau, as

well as rare early 19th century sculpted

hair lady dolls of porcelain and bisque,

choice mignonettes and other all-bisque

rarities, cloth dolls from Kathe Kruse

to Lenci, and other specialties such as

Kewpies, Automata, Door of Hope and

rare German bisque characters.

MR. BIG MOUTH }The only thing he has more of than mouth is whimsy. Mr. Big Mouth is reminiscent of the classic German porcelain big mouth characters. Also features a series of small holes for toothpicks or needles depending on what room you want to display all three of his cheerful visages in. 4”w. x 4”h. GP-022. $45.

TOM, THE SUMMER MOUSEBy R. John Wright. Tom, is a dark brown mouse wearing a green checkered cotton jacket and a molded felt "button beanie" decorated with tiny multi-colored buttons. These caps became popular in the 30s and 40s when kids would repurpose their Dads' old fedoras by flipping them inside out, turning up the brim, and trimming the excess into pointy scallops. Tom comes ready for summertime play with his own custom-made all-wood hoop and stick game! Limited edition of only 150. 3 ½”. SD-1289. $395.
