Vintage wooden nicho with Cristo figure. I purchased this from a gentleman who had traveled up with goods from Oaxaca to sell in a small tianguis outside of Mexico City. The wooden nicho retains its rich red paint ~ most likely created with a vegetable or insect base. It also reveals some of its original golden paint highlights. This Cristo appears to be created out of a cornstalk paste ~ which I find quite interesting because this traditional art form must have spread to the Oaxacan artist from ...click for details

One the largest, most delightful vintage wooden toys from Mexico that I have had the pleasure of coming across. This ca. late 1950s-late 1960s mechanical toy captures a group of five skeletons out for a bit of carousing in a local taverna. They are smoking, drinking, playing guitar, and generally enjoying themselves during their annual return visit to this earthly life. A little metal bar and crank on the right hand side can be turned, and when turned, hands start to gyrate, feet start to bounce ...click for details

This charming and naive piece comes from an estate sale in Mexico City and is the work of Sr. Rebollard, who was an attorney that lived in Mexico City. I have had this piece in my personal collection for several years now.
I was told that as a younger man or boy, Sr. Rebollard had lived through the Mexican Revolution. His memories of the hardship and tragedy brought to his village by the Revolution became the subject matter for many of his paintings. Francisco (Pancho) Villa was then, and mus ...click for details

Vintage Mexican Tin Nicho, Frame with Original Glass. Very nicely executed vintage tin frame or nicho with balanced, detailed stamp work throughout ca. 1930s-50s. Near miraculous retention of the original, wonderfully wavey glass. All parts in very good condition with the exception of charming, slight curl to the very top of frame and a Missing pin close -- however any longer, tailor straight pin would do the trick. Very nicely sized at 17" long by 9 3/4 wide (without ears) and with an inne ...click for details

Pair of vintage Mexican gold leaf angel wings. Beautiful carved wood finished in traditional estafada and gold leaf, ca. 1800s-1940s. Finely carving implies the presence of layers and layers of appropriately lavish feathering in this pair of lovely wings. Two hand lathed pieces of wood secured with hand made nails with irregular shape to heads. In very good condition with cracking throughout, some signs of early renovation and conservation. One pair of wings has lost the outside edges of the win ...click for details

This wonderful authentic ex voto from Mexico expresses gratitude to the Virgin of Guadalupe for a miracle granted. On the first day of the New Year, the author was driving with his family along a dangerous stretch of road. It appears that the car veered from the road -- and at that moment the intercession from the Virgin of Guadalupe was sought. The piece is in fine condition with some surface wear. Nice larger size. Previously framed in this well suited, rustic wood frame of deep blue/intigo co ...click for details
