Very Good Antique Tavern Clock. Rare 2 Train/ Striking. Flame Mahogany. Early 19c
Posted by admin On March 7, 2020
Very Good Antique Tavern Clock. Rare 2 Train/ Striking. Quite a rare clock, similar in principle to an antique longcase clock but designed to attach to a wall. You see more of these in single train (non-striking) format but the two train ones are rarer. A beautiful piece and very impressive you can get an idea of the size compared to some of my other clocks in the pictures. 14 round dial, the dome-topped case measuring 40 high by 18 maximum width. Actually more practical than a longcase clock in that it can be mounted according to ceiling height. Excellent quality case with flame mahogany figuring to the front. No name on the dial but falseplate stamped Finnemore, Birmingham which dates it to the first half of the 1800s. The movement is similar to typical 8-day longcase movements of the period but with different gearing because of the shorter weight-fall. The smaller line barrels can be seen in the pictures. Original steel hands in typical early 19. The clock has been serviced and is fully working. Complete with weights, pendulum, winder and trunk door key (working lock). The item “Very Good Antique Tavern Clock. Rare 2 Train/ Striking. Flame Mahogany. Early 19c” is in sale since Sunday, March 1, 2020. This item is in the category “Antiques\Antique Clocks\Wall Clocks\Pre-1900″. The seller is “georgella123″ and is located in Yeovil. This item can’t be shipped, the buyer must pick up the item.

Antique Rare Early 20thC Cased Ventriloquists Dummy By Arthur Quisto
Posted by admin On March 4, 2020
For the Decorative, Rare & Unusual. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. An Early 20thC Cased Ventriloquists Dummy By Arthur Quisto. Origin: English Period: Early 20th Century Provenance: Unknown Date: c. 1920-35 Height: 36 inches Width (Shoulder to Shoulder): 12 inches (all approx). The period dummy of high build quality, in a taffeta and cotton white shirt with thick wool and nylon peat coat, the head with a thick shock of ginger curly hair under a navy school cap and the body constructed of a combination of paper maché, and plaster composition parts with lower limbs with fabric attachments with the wooden carved hands painted in a very light skin colour, the legs with royal blue woolen leggings and black painted plaster shoes. The face is also in a light skin color with reddened cheeks; the lips are painted red, the eyebrows and eyelashes black, the glass eyes blue with the whole being presented in the original quality leather carrying suitcase, in keeping with the period. In good overall original condition, there is only some small flaking to the paint on the raised parts of the face like the eyebrows, cheeks and nose. The costume for the dummy is of the highest tailored quality, and in excellent condition. The two buttons on the jacket are original as is the bow tie. There is one tape repair to one of the feet. Both the mouth and eye mechanisms are in good working order. There is a label for Magical Mart, 79 York st, London W1 on the underside of the dummy head. Burgess of Wandsowrth, London SW18. There are further labels for Cunard White Star Line to New York and other baggage labels. Arthur Quisto lived from 1882 to 1960. His real name was Edwin Simms. He was known primarily for his Punch & Judy Shows, but Quisto also built figures for Tom Coram and Arthur Prince. He used pneumatic devices and was the first to use electromagnetic devices to animate his figures. The uncanny nature of ventriloquists dummies has enthralled and spooked people for decades, and they continue to feature in horror films to this day. The idea of the ghost in the inanimate object is not a new one, Freud has written at length on the subject in his discussions on the uncanny, and ghost stories have featured dolls and portraits coming to life for centuries. A hugely entertaining vent figure of large size and with an incredibly jolly, albeit slightly neurotic, disposition. All pieces listed by Doe & Hope are of the finest quality. However, any imperfection, which is deemed to be more than just natural ageing, will be duly described above. B: The P&P stated applies to U. And remember, Antiques are Green! They are re-usable, re-saleable, and sustainable. The golden chandelier symbol displayed in a window or at a fair, is the sign of membership of LAPADA, the Association of Art & Antiques Dealers. Since its inception in 1974, LAPADAs membership has grown to over 550 members making it the largest association of professional art and antiques dealers in the United Kingdom.

Antique Rare Early 20thC Cased Ventriloquists Dummy Davenport No. 2 by Insull
Posted by admin On March 4, 2020
For the Decorative, Rare & Unusual. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. An Early 20th Cased Ventriloquists Dummy; The Davenport No. 2 by Leonard Insull; c. Origin: English Period: Early 20th Century Provenance: Unknown Date: c. 1908-25 Height: 36 (at maximum) Width (Shoulder to Shoulder): 11 (all approximate). The large early twentieth century period dummy of high build quality, with seven operating mechanisms in tweed suit with two war medals including the Defence Medal with check bow-tie and black leather shoes, the head with short very dark brown hair and the body constructed of a combination of paper maché, and plaster composition parts with lower limbs with fabric attachments with the hands painted in a light skin colour. The face is also in a light skin color with the typical Insull reddened cheeks; the lips are painted red, the moving eyebrows black, the glass eyes hazel. The whole is presented in the original quality tin and iron bound carrying suitcase trunk, in keeping with the period. In good overall original condition, there is a crack through the top lip and some other areas of wear. The huge variety of seven mechanisms work and some have been recently repaired. The costume for the dummy is good quality, especially the shoes. The whole of the costume is original and slightly tired but thoroughly charming. The trunk is of high quality and has several labels to include the stamp of the owner Brigadier T. The dummy has obviously traveled all over the world. John Leonard Insull (born 1883) was Britain’s leading and most prolific ventriloquial figure maker of the twentieth century and between 1952 and 1974 he produced no less than 2017 pieces. He spent his early days in Wolverhampton and began his career as an apprentice to a joiner, however he soon developed a taste for magic and decided to go on stage under the name of Hinsle, the Comedy Illusionist. He was often assisted by his wife Gertie Rees, who did a clog dance; and eventually they toured the world together. Leonard Insull worked with his son (also named Leonard Insull) who specialized more in animated slot machines. The collaboration ended with the death of his son in 1957 aged 43. He created many hundreds of items for Davenports magic shop. Leonard Insull died in 1974. Len insull started making dummys in the early 20s for a ventriloquist called Coram the Ventriloquist, he embarked on a venture that would ensure a permanent and illustrious place in the history of ventriloquism. Then after the news of Insull’s work reached Lewis Davenport, he asked Insull to supply figures to his magic business. He made two basic heads for Davenports: a No. 1 head with three movements: bottom lip, top lip and turning eyes; and a No. 2 head with the above plus two winks, moving eyebrows, and ears. This is a no. 2 – and the best you will find. The uncanny nature of ventriloquists dummies has enthralled and spooked people for decades, and they continue to feature in horror films to this day. The idea of the ghost in the inanimate object is not a new one, Freud has written at length on the subject in his discussions on the uncanny, and ghost stories have featured dolls and portraits coming to life for centuries. This rare example by one of the best makers of vent figures the world has ever produced, and with no expense spared in his creation, is a superb fully loaded example for the professional. All pieces listed by Doe & Hope are of the finest quality. However, any imperfection, which is deemed to be more than just natural ageing, will be duly described above.
