Jason Hartong — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 00:42:44 +0000

Paul Louis Salvan (1877-1962), French

Oil on Canvas, Size 27cm x 35cm

Offering an early Paul Louis Salvan painting. He’s a listed French painter and well sought by collectors. Definitely late 19th century and an early work for the artist. Impressionistic in painting style and of rural France, which was a favourite of many artists from the period. The colours are brilliant and the style is fairly loose, with a fine grasp of scale and composition.

The painting is in fantastic condition, with no cracks or surface wear. The colours are bright and the painting is clean. The framing is likely original. The rear of the stretcher has the dimensions, 35cm x27cm and an anchor emblem stamped into the top stretcher. The frame does show typical wear to the gilt and black paint.

Overall a fine little painting from a known French artist. A very nice piece!

Portrait of a Stunning Young Lady, By George Hill, Dated 1930

Portrait of a Beautiful 1930s Lady

Dated 1930

By George Hill (1898-1969)

Stunning Large Scale Painting in Gilt Frame

Oil on Canvas

Framed 39″ x 43″

Offered at $1650.- SOLD

Offering a beautifully painted portrait of a young lady in a seated pose, with Classical styled clothing. The style has it’s roots in the 19th Century Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. There are several features, which indicate Pre-Raphaelite elements and overall feel. The composition and colours are exceptional. A very well painted portrait, with fantastic detail. The painting is nearly scaled to life-size, therefore the painting is rather large.

The gilt frame is of a very high quality, consisting of two frame layers. The gilding is in fine condition, with only minimal areas of it scratched off. The frame is very well constructed and heavy. Definitely suited to a finely painted portrait. It appears the frame was custom made from the same period, meaning it was likely original to the painting.

There are many fine cracks and puckers in the painting, but no missing paint or fading. Vibrant colour and details make it timeless. The paint seems to be firmly affixed to the high quality canvas. The painting hung over an old New England fireplace mantle, hence the distressed texture to the paint surface.

She’s absolutely lovely!

Oil Painting of a Gentleman | Large 19th Century Victorian Portrait

Jason Hartong — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 23:26:27 +0000

19TH Century Portrait of a Gentleman

By Florence A. Ross (1870-1949)

RHA (Royal Hibernian Academy)

Framed 30″x36″(canvas approximately 23 1/2″x 29 1/4″)

Oil on Canvas

Large Portrait

SOLD

Offering a large oil painting of a Victorian gentleman. The painting is of Irish origin and was painted by a very skilled artist. The details are incredibly well executed and the use of shadows, light and proportions make the portrait exceptionally lifelike. The portrait is almost full scale, hence the painting is fairly large. It’s surrounded by a fine looking vintage frame, with a strong wire on the back.

The letters RHA appear before the artists signature. RHA is a Dublin based institution, founded in 1823. The institution was originally chartered by 30 Irish artists to promote the arts. Florence A. Ross had attended the RHA.

The painting has some distress and repairs to the skin on the forehead and cheek. There are two small torn areas on the left side and some very small areas of missing paint. The canvas is tightly stretched and well secured. I can imagine the portrait rested above a fireplace for many years, which explains the missing paint.

Jupiterlicht Stage Light from 1920s Berlin | Made in Germany

Jason Hartong — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 16:24:33 +0000

JUPITERLICHT

MADE IN GERMANY

A very rare early German cinema/stage light, which has been rewired with a period fabric cord. Would be a very stylish decorative living room piece. The wiring can handle up to 500 watts, but for domestic use, such as using it next to a sofa, 40-100 watts would be sufficient. It currently has a 40 watt bulb fitted, which I find ideal to read under.

The construction is very solid, with many pieces made of a light alloy and a cast iron base. The height adjustable handle is made of ebonized bakelite. The original glass and internal reflector are in exceptional condition. The wiring had been redone for domestic use, with an on/off switch attached to the cord and a new period style plug. The fixture and base have been repainted. At a point in it’s life, someone hand-painted the light housing, so it had to be sanded, in order to achieve a smooth finish. The light has some dings, as expected of a period item, which evidently got lots of use.

During the 1920s, Berlin was one of the worlds premier film, cabaret and arts centres. The classic movie, Metropolis was filmed during this period. Jupiterlicht must have been the most advanced and desired lighting during the era.

There are very few surviving Jupiterlicht lights from this period, none of which seem to be for sale. It’s also highly unusual to see one, which had been made for the North American market. Truly a rare piece!

Offered at $1795.-

The item will ship in two boxes by UPS. It must be insured for the full sale amount. Please be in contact for shipping and handling charges.

Four Handmade Early 19th Century Hitchcock Chairs

Jason Hartong — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 05:20:05 +0000

Offering a set of four handmade Hitchcock chairs. Circa 1820-1840. They have a nice patina, with an old shellac finish present. The chairs recently received a coat of very fine museum quality English wax. All the joints are very stable and the chairs feel very solid. There are nice details of a skilled craftsman, with carving marks and nicely turned legs.

Most Hitchcock chairs are painted black, but these happened to be finished Yellow Pine & hardwood. Under one of the chairs, there is very faint painted lettering, showing to whom the chairs were made. I haven’t been able to make out the entire name. The chairs came from a farmhouse in Western Massachusetts and were likely made locally, with some parts potentially from the Hitchcock Co. In 1818, the Hitchcock company started in the business of selling chair parts.

SOLD

Please be in contact for shipping and handling charges. They could ship UPS, with two chairs to a box. Freight is another option. International shipping can be arranged.

1940′s Classic Western Electric 300 Series Telephone -Excellent Working Order

Jason Hartong — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 05:08:21 +0000

Offering an original 1940′s Western Electric Telephone. It’s in very fine condition, with very few scratches to the handle or bakelite telephone base. The 1950′s cord going to the receiver has a few cracks in the wire covering. This does not affect the interior cord and the receiver works perfectly. Both the speaker and microphone are crisp and clear. The rotary dial is smooth and made of metal. The ringer is fantastic and reminds me of so many brilliant 1940′s movies.

I’m personally amazed at how nice the shine is and how little wear is present. The original four-prong plug is attached and can be plugged into the wall outlet with an $8.00 adapter from an electronics store. It could also be wired right into the wall outlet.

I’ve personally tested the phone by attaching the wires in the plug, to a phone outlet. All the functions work perfectly. Early telephones were meant to last forever and almost never break.

SOLD
