Bronze Chinese Warrior Guan Gong
This
auction is for a late 19th century bronze sculpture of a
mounted Chinese warrior. It may be of the idol Guan Gong
and if so is missing the Blue Dragon Sword. The casting
is very intricate, especially on the rear haunches of the
horse, which has the impressive figure of a dragon woven
into the piece. The armor on the warrior has etched floral
decorations that also extend into the saddle area. The rider
can be removed from the horse, and the saddle insert is
also removable. Overall the condition is very good. There
is a small nick on the saddle where something was dropped
on the piece and there are some minor casting defects on
the horse's ear and the rider's beard, but overall it does
not detract from the appearance of the piece. On the back
of the left arm of the rider there is a small broken area
where the sword may have attached. A wonderful addition
to your Asian art collection. 
This
ebonized solid oak buffet is very beautiful! The main theme
of the piece is "Lions" and you can see on the
handles and panels, there are lions. The paneled lions are
hand carved as are the drawers whose handles are lion heads.
The hardware on the panels is not original and was replaced
with lion handles also, but the locks underneath them are
original. Two shelves reside on either side of the rectangular
beveled mirror and next to the shelves are hand carved columns.
The carvings that decorate the rest of the buffet seem to
look like acanthus leaves and are very pretty. There is
no key to this buffet but that can easily be fixed by a
keysmith near you! This could be a self contained bathroom
cabinet including mirror if you already have something you
love for your dining room. The counter height is 38-1/2"
high. 
This buffet is an ebonized oak with eight bun feet with
barley twist legs which are held together by cross bars,
making this very strong. There are matching barley twist
columns on the splash back board with beading on the interior
of the splash back. The same beading can be seen on the
panels. There was a shallow interior drawer inside the right
cupboard that is no longer there. You could either add a
shelf on that side, or use it for storage of taller items
(towels if this is in your bathroom). The brass hardware
is original and the drawers are handcut and dovetailed.
Made of Scotts Pine. Six sided panels, each with its own
Gothic window frame. Columns on each side of the panels.
Also scalloped in design. Three sided rail around the top.
It stands on a shaped base. One front leg seems to be missing.
Has a back entrance with steps. It needs a general going
over with minor repairs. Great for orators, religious uses
or as an auction stand. I have seen pulpits made into bars.
Here's your chance to own your own! 
As
shown in the pictures a beautiful dark mahogany bar made
with flame mahogany veneer and finished with some sensational
trim. The cabinet bar opens to the front and the top lifts
up to reveal the interior. The mirror on the interior of
the front door is blue. It reflects off of the other interior
mirrors, and bathes the entire inside in a soft blue light.
On either side of the bar cabinet are display cabinets with
rounded glass doors for keeping your glassware, or perhaps
some of your collectibles. Each side has three glass shelves
for display. In the center is a drawer for storage of flat
barware and napkins. Below the drawer is a large cabinet
with a half shelf in the back for your bottles. there are
keys to keep the kids out. The piece is decorated on the
top and bottom with shell and acanthus leave designs; while
the edges are covered with a wood trim the resembles twisted
rope. The entire piece stands on four Queen Ann pad feet.
The cabinet is used but in very good condition. A fantastic
addition to your dining or living area. 
Amazing
piece! Solid oak. Hand carved designs of leaves and fruit...pomegranites,
I think! The top part has a center display case with a mirrored
back and glass shelf. A cupboard is on either side with
a shelf in each. There is also a lower mirrored back center
portion. Both mirrors have large bevels, as does the glass
door. The long center mirror is curved at both top corners
for extra pizazz. The bottom buffet has a shelf extending
the full length. All original handles. The whole top is
detatchable from the base. The doors also can slide up for
easy removal. Fantastic wood grain. It also has beautiful
black and white marble on the buffet top. The buffet has
a center drawer and a large center door. Also doors on either
side for easy access. A stunning addition to your art deco
collection. 
This
is going to be tough to describe. It's really an amazing
old Dressing table. It's got 3 mirrors for easy viewing
of any angle (great for fixing your hair) and the center
mirror swivels to provide even more versatility. All three
mirrors are the original, beveled and in nice shape for
the age. Each of the 3 mirrors can be easily removed, along
with the entire back of this Dressing Table, for easy transportation.
A very nice feature indeed. The iron hardware on the 3 drawers
and 2 cabinet doors is exceptional. The doors open in (see
picture) rather than out, so they don't get in the way of
the outer butterfly mirrors. Nice thinking on the craftsman's
part! The fine craftsmanship doesn't stop there. The relief
carving work above the center mirror is simply beautiful.
The dovetail joints holding the drawers together are bigger
than most you'd see, which helped in aging this piece. The
legs are tapered to narrow feet. Strong, old world construction
and attention to detail really make this piece something
to be proud of. 
This
is a beautiful, difficult to find flow blue platter. It
is made by Keeling & Co. and if it dates the same as the
other pieces I have had recently from the same collection
is would be 1892. The Chatsworth pattern is a beautiful
art noveau pattern with a deep cobalt flow blue highlighted
by gold accents throughout. The rim of the platter is scalloped
and trimed in gold. The backmark reads: "CHATSWORTH 1790
K & CoB LATE MAYERS". Impressed includes: "K&Co" "16" "98"
over "8" "N" and "IVORY". There are no chips or cracks to
this platter. There is some crazing. The gold is in excellent
condition. There are some minor knife marks and mold marks
from manufacture. We have two other matching platters available
at this time too. A beautiful set for serving during this
holiday season! . 
We
believe that this lovely hallstand is from circa 1910. It
is from England and is made of either mahogany or walnut
(I can't make up my mind!) It is all solid wood with cast
iron hooks. It has some wonderful, nice, old tiles that
show crazing. It still retains its original beveled mirror.
There is some silvering edge wear. There is a small shelf
on the front (below the mirror) that would be great for
your keys. There is also space for walking sticks or umbrellas.
There are no drip trays. There are also turned legs at the
front. Overall a nice looking piece in a great size and
condition. I would estimate the weight at 25#. 
We
think that this is in the Sydney area. It is an old, original
station sign in used condition. We aren't sure what it is
made of, but know that it is not metal or wood. An interesting
addition to your collection.
