1900 to 1920 Hand Painted Signed Icon Miniature Father and Child Original Crystal Fancy Gold Gilt Bezel Celluloid Frame Wall Hanging

$264.26

Sorry for the photo glare on the crystal. This is a lovely small religious wall hanging miniature antique icon of father and child. It is hand painted possibly over an image and is also hand signed. Enlarge the photos to see the signature. Looks like Zuigy but is likely something close to this name. Size of frame is 2 1/4″ square. Size of the miniature painting is only 1 1/4″ diameter. Unusually detailed and intricate for such a small size. The painting is set into its original fancy carved bronze or gold gilt bezel frame which has its original glass crystal and it’s early 1900s to 1920 beige celluloid frame. The frame has an old piece of brocade that original owner had glued onto the back. The corners of the frame are starting to separate from age. Other than this, the frame, crystal and miniature painting are in excellent condition. No splits or cracks or discoloration to the celluloid. No damage to the icon/painting. Good bezel and crystal. Lovely estate religious item in original condition for your had painted miniature collection or Eastern Orthodox, Byzantine icon religious collection.

RARE Antique 1914 Bronze and Copper Orig Elks Lodge Pendant Wall Fixture
RARE Antique 1914 Bronze and Copper Orig Elks Lodge Pendant Wall Fixture
Originally from an Elk's Lodge in New York City this is a very rare and hard to find antique 1868 to 1914 Elks Hanging Pendant Fixture for wall, foyer or above doorway. I understand that very, very few of these exist today. The elk is made of solid bronze (NOT plated) and the back is solid copper (not plated). The chain is original. The insignia of the state of NY is prominently applied to the front. Size without the chain is 8" across in diameter. Depth is 4 1/2" from the tip of the antler to the back of the base. The back has a lot of age wear oxidation and patina which could be polished down to the copper. The front has an applied painted finish that is wearing off. The back has a lot of age patina. Other than this it is excellent. No dent or dings. No damage or repair. Sits flat on table without a wobble. Still all even. This piece would be lovely stripped down to its original bronze and copper. A great, authentic, original item for an advanced Elks collector.
