Great Auction Finds

October 28, 2011 by carole 2 Comments

Here are some of the lovelies found at most recent auction and a couple other things found elsewhere. F&F very crowded so having a sale at Hunt and Gather this weekend, running through Halloween evening.

Busts are hot rights now and I’ll be damned if I can score them at auction (there were probably ten lots of busts at this auction) but I did manage to get a couple small ones…

Jesus Bust…that doesn’t sound quite right
Mr. Pharoah Bust-a-move

 

Antique white bench…great indoors or out
Wounded Roman Soldier…or, as I like to call him, Naked Man

Feel lucky to have scored this table cause here’s a whole blog devoted to all things wheaty and sheafy, a very hot trend right now.

Gilded Wheat Sheaf Table…hot stuff!

Why buy new, when you can buy the original thing???

Industrial baskets with custom jute liners…toys, magazines, toilet paper?
Hello Gorgeous…silk velvet channel back chair
ginger jar lamp
“Spicy” classic ginger jar lamps

This looks to be same artist…

ruggieri floral oils
Ruggieri floral oils…beauties

    I so want the wheat sheaf table. Also, just to show my art history classes were not for nothing, naked man is the Dying Gaul, which would seem to make him French. However, it was to commemorate a victory over the Anatolians, who were in what is now Turkey, so maybe we could call him Vaguely European Man. Naah, Naked Man it is.
