Here is one of the nicest pond sailers I have ever seen. It is a model built by George Painter of Brooklin Maine about 1898 and procured from his great grandson. Painter was a shipbuilder in this quaint Maine town and this model really shows off his prowess.All the lines,sails,spars and rigging are there. The ship has real nice old worn weathered paint. It is a sailer and has lead ballast in the keel and a notched rudder. I have never seen one better.

This is a great piece of modern folk art by one of Jersey's masters Russ Allen of Leeds Point New Jersey. It is a finely carved miniature Blue Heronabout 7" tall and signed by Russ. He paints in oil and this piece is about 10 years old and has a nice patina, the crest is made of hair( whose I don't know) Russ makes one of kind works so you wouldn't see this around a great buy right from my collection.

Here are two one of a kind pieces that are just a folkart/decoyists delight. Two original watercolors done by Thelma Peterson of Cape Charles, Virginia, a Delmarva icon of the art world, see her website. www.thelmapeterson.com Thelma made these commissions works for Walt Oler in 1984 and signed and dated both pieces. Walt found both the Miles Hancock(top painting) and Doug Jester on the marshes around Chincoteague years before and finally asked Thelma to paint their likeness and then he attatched the actual decoy to the painting. The decoy is the actual thing, weatherbeaten and aged to a great look which could not be duplicated by anyone but nature. Both carvers are renown and finding birds like this is unique in itself then the original artwork make them super unique.They are aprx 24" by 24" I got these from Walt's daughter recently and regretibly for me have no room at my shop or house so someone else gets to benefit. A great price for 2 unique pieces
$700.00 apiece or $1300.00 for both |

Here are a great pair of decoys by one of the best carvers of archaic decoys in the country, Reggie Birch formerly of Chincoteague Va. These are Bufflehead carved in the Ira Hudson style and are a matched pair on an old sign board 3' by 2'. The birds are easily removed if you don't like the sign but the whole effect is super. Birch is found in Loy Harrells book on best Contemporary Carvers. and he has a wonderful reputation as well as a difficulty in obtaining his work. These birds were done for me about 10 years ago and I finally decided to part with them. A great chance to own a real conversation piece. He has moved to Germany recently and getting his work is getting more and more difficult.
$2000.00 for the pair |
