American Folk Art * Antiques * Primitives * Fine Reproduction Goodes
"There are rest and healing in the contemplation
of antiquities." ~ Mark TwainAn antique is often defined as an item which is at least 100 years old that is collected or considered desirable. But some would argue that any object produced in a former period and valued because of its beauty or rarity, should be classified as an antique as well.
~ Olde and Early Goodes ~
 ~ Child's Transferware Cup ~ A perfectly sweet cup, with a detailed farm scene on the outside, and a lovely, delicate decoration inside the rim. Measures 2.5" high, no chips or cracks. ~ Sold, Thank you kindly! ~ |
 ~ Small Milk Can ~ Such a perfect size (6.5" tall)...for hanging on a peg, hook, or tucked in among primitive goodes. $40.00 |
 ~ 19th Century Curtis Botanical ~ A superb copper engraving (plate #792)! Hand-coloured botanical in a deep, rich burgundy, giving the flowers a velvety appearance. Date of publication 1804 (England). The piece has been matted and placed in an antique frame, ready for hanging. It measures 10.5" x 12.5", with documentation posted on back. $100.00 |
 ~ Pewter Creamer ~ Pewter creamer (or perhaps a pitcher for a wee elf?). Beautiful turned knob, and thumb latch. Measures 4" tall, without dents or dings. The shadow across the top is not an imperfection (or dust), simply a shadow. $40.00 |
 ~ Early Pewter Plate ~ A lovely pewter plate! Ten inches in diameter, with makers mark. There are a few slight dings around the edge, which simply adds to its character. What sort of yummy meals do you think were served on this plate? $175.00 |

 ~ 48 Star Parade Flag ~ Olde store stock....a fabulous cloth, 48 star flag in mint condition as it had been tucked away still in the wrapping. Paper labeled: "No. 5, National Flag" Flag measures 6" x 9", with a stick measuring 13" long. $15.00 |
 ~ London Carriage Doorstop ~ Have your tired of using old iron to hold your door open? Add a bit of whimsy at the base of your door! You will be able to use this stop facing left or right as it has the same casting on both front and rear...no plain flat iron on the backside. It has a bit of paint loss (but no rust) giving it the primitive look that we love! The measurements of the doorstop are, 12" x 7". It will be shipped in a USPS Flat Rate box because it it HEAVY! "If it fits, it ships!" $55.00 |
