Description

This dark wood cross is absolutely encrusted with brass and gilt metal milagros -- tiny votive charms depicting praying figures, animals, eyes, and human forms -- nailed across every surface in a dense, folk-devotional frenzy. The top surface adds even more characters to the party, making this a serious collector piece for anyone passionate about Latin American religious folk art or Day of the Dead aesthetics. Condition shows genuine age and patina, which only adds to its raw spiritual energy. This one has stories it is not telling.

This chunky ceramic vase commands a room with its bold orange glaze and incised geometric triangle pattern, separated by bands of raw grey stoneware clay. The crackle finish on the orange glaze suggests mid-century studio pottery influence, and the tapered form gives it a confident, sculptural presence. No visible maker marks noted, but the quality of the sgraffito-style decoration points to a skilled hand. A perfect statement piece for lovers of modernist or West German pottery aesthetics.

Framed in a beautifully rustic, chunky wood frame, this illuminated manuscript-style calligraphy print features the beloved inspirational verse beginning with Dance as if no one were watching. The oversized decorative capital letter is rendered in full Celtic illumination style with rich blues, greens, and gold, complete with a red wax seal accent at the bottom. The piece is double-matted and ready to hang, making it an instantly charming addition to any home, office, or gift shop aesthetic.

This generous length of gold bullion fringe trim is the kind of thing that makes upholsterers and theatrical costume designers weak in the knees. Featuring twisted gold rope fringe with burgundy and gold beaded tassels along the header tape, it runs a dramatic length and is in usable condition with minor wear. Whether you are trimming curtains, reupholstering a Victorian settee, or costuming an entire opera, this trim delivers serious old-world glamour at estate sale prices.
