Antique early 17th century painting on copper plate depicts “The Virgin Adoring the Sleeping Christ Child”. Mary is depicted dressed in a blue robe with a gold border, and a violet tunic underneath, with hands folded in a prayer posture. The infant Jesus lies in swaddling cloth with closed eyes.
Depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary with hands folded in a prayer posture wearing a purple dress, representing the Passion of Jesus, with a blue mantle representing her perpetual virginity, and cloaked veil with a gold aureole above her head. The infant Jesus lies in swaddling cloth with closed eyes, golden sun rays, and a crown on his head.
The former owner of this painting is a Canadian gentleman of Hungarian descent. This painting was shown, during his visit to Hungry in 1992, to the leading Hungarian expert in 15-17th century European paintings, Urbach Zsuzsa, from Szépművészeti Múzeum Budapest (The Museum of Fine Arts). The painting was identified as central European Austrian-German 17th century circa 1600 A.D., with some later restorations. The original expertise letter from the Szépművészeti Múzeum signed by Urbach Zsuzsa, and dated 06 October 1992, states that the painting is 17th century circa 1600, and is with the description of the condition of the painting, including the description of some old touch-ups, and suggestions that the conservation of this painting should be done at the Ottawa National Gallery. This letter will be provided to the buyer.
CONDITION: Some old restorations. Due to the fact that two sides of the copper plate of the painting, the left side, and bottom, were damaged and uneven, the previous owner tried to fix these two sides and make the edges even. He however did this very unprofessionally using a file, so the two sides have a very sharp edge.
DIMENSIONS: Size of painting in the frame: 28.3 cm x 22.8 cm (11 1/8 in x 9 in).
Dimensions without the frame: 21.2 cm x 15.5 cm (8 3/8 in x 6 1/8.

throne in Latisana in arched niches flanked by attendant’s elephants
and lions.
CONDITION: With a lovely old beige yellow tone patina and sign of

used as building materials.
MEASUREMENTS: Length: 46.5 cm (18 /4 in). Height: 15.2 cm (6 in) and
weighs approximately 26 pounds.
Due to the fact that the market is flooded by reproductions of Indian

like to inform our clients that this is a 100% authentic antique
Medieval Indian 11th – 12th century religious relief and not a
reproduction, and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
For the purpose of examination of the proof of authenticity, as a
natural patina and remains of old construction substance, the item was
photographed in two different light settings, in daylight and
artificial light.

Antique Canadian 19th century silver mounted large scrimshaw walrus tusk. Details: The outer side of the tusk is finely engraved with an unusual Hudson’s Bay Company coat of arms. It is composed of a shield with a cross (the cross of St. George) and with four beavers, one in each quarter. Above the shield is a crest which depicts a walrus sitting on the Cap of Maintenance. The shield and crest are supported by two elk with a scroll showing the old Latin motto pro pelle cutem: a skin for a skin. Engraved with a map depicting lakes surrounded by mountains with sailing tall ships, an elaborate star compass with swimming whales in the water beside, and on the far right is an engraved rectangular cartouche with a capital letter “”T supported by two standing griffins. Mounted in two elaborated sterling silver mounts decorated with incised scrolling foliage with its original silver suspension chain.
MEASUREMENTS: Overall length: 31 cm (12 1/4 inches).
CONDITION: In good condition; no cracks, repairs, or restorations. Please notice that this is not an ordinary primitively engraved scrimshaw, but a truly high scale engraved artistic object, which most likely was a presentation piece most likely made specially for a higher rank official of the Hudson’s Bay Company in the 18th-19th century. This rare artifact comes from a Canadian estate sale, and according to the family tradition, the scrimshaw was there for several generations, however nobody knows more beyond that.
