$3400. 

This wonderfully detailed and sculptural briefcase was made by mid 20th century designer, Don Shoemaker. Shoemaker was an American who worked in Morelia, Mexico from 1947 until his death in 1990. He has come to be known as the Nakashima of Mexico and this piece validates that honorific. Shoemaker made small objects as well as furniture, all combining various tropical woods. This briefcase is a sculpture as well as a functional piece. The handle and knobs as well as the three dimensional pattern ...click for details

$585. 

This handmade metal basket is both sculptural and functional. Loops coming off the base are indicative of the artful eye with which it was made. The creator did more than use the lattice weave throughout. Measures 5 3/4" tall and 14" in diameter. Would look equally good on a table or hung on a wall. Probably made circa 1900.

Beautifully toned Lancaster County Amish Sunshine and Shadows quilt done with every attention to detail. Finely quilted with classic patterns of feathering in the outer border and "pumpkin seeds" in the inner border. Pristine condition. Made with a variety of fabrics including wool; cotton and crepe. Measures 80" square; circa 1930. Darker bottom is a result of uneven lighting; it is not so on the quilt.

$2400. for the pair 

This is a rather amazing pair of quilts telling the nursery rhyme of Jack and Jill. They are unusual in several ways. Most exceptional is that they are made entirely of one inch squares. The white background is entirely pieced. Rarely does one find pieced lettering on a quilt. They are in pristine, unwashed condition, dating to the 1930's. Measurements are 68" x 84"; perfect for either a girl or boy.

This is one of the smallest doll quilts I've seen. It was most likely made for use in a doll house. It measures 4 1/2" x 5 1/2"; done all of cotton ginghams. The colors are well place to give this little gem a nice abstract quality in addition to the One Patch pattern. Excellent condition. Machine quilted around the edge; circa 1940.

Who has ever seen Mickey Mouse as a hooked chair cushion? He couldn't be cuter. The tapering on the top leads me to believe this was made as a chair pad but it can just as easily be wall mounted. Measures 14 1/4" at its widest and 14 1/4" tall. Has an old, well done repair on the back. Made of wool with a cotton twill binding. Circa 1930; found in Maine.
