Mid Century Georges Rival French Streetscape Oil Painting
****Colors are much deeper, darker and stronger than photo. Actual is more well-defined than photo. This is an original, signed Georges Rival French streetscape oil painting from an estate and in its original frame. Size of frame is 32" tall North to South by 25" wide across East to West. The frame has some old white paint drops on it. The painting is 25" North to South by 17 1/2" East to West. This is the measurement of what you actually see within the frame. One will occasionally see the mid century Georges Rival seascape paintings but the French streetscape seems to be a little more unusual and harder to find.
There is some general age crackling and one white paint chipped spot. I have seen on line that paint chipping is somewhat common with Rival works due to the thickness of paint application and nature of the painting. Other than this, it is in excelelnt condition. No tears, damage or other paint chips. The colors are deep and strong; actual is a little darker than photo.
This is a lovely painting by a well known mid century artist for your collection.

It works well and stays closed securely when it is locked into place. It has fancy geometric Art Deco rose gold figure 8 connectors and all of the tiny clovers are detailed. A very pretty and feminine antique 1930's Art Deco watch for anyone who tinkers with fixing watches.
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.
