English or Continental Gothic Revival Rubbing of Knight and Lady

About the Item

A Gothic Revival style engraved brass rubbing, English or Continental, from the 19th Century. This is a beautiful piece with two figures who are dressed in elaborate clothing reserved for the gentry. Their hands are clasped in a prayer-like position. Perhaps they were being blessed by some unseen person. They are so very slender. They seem as though they might have been real individuals with their austere or serious, but not unpleasant expressions. There is a great deal of detail to the woman's dress the way it drapes at the hem, and the man also has an intricate costume with a sword that seems detailed and specific. He is standing on some sort of mound of earth. The textile or parchment has a gilt or burnished quality and also looks like pen and ink for part of the detailing. The linen panel with red and black meandering border surrounding two standing figures, a lady and a man in a knight's armor standing on a hillock, with fringe sewn at the bottom and framed. This piece is in good condition. It is framed and 36 inches tall by 27 inches wide. The condition is quite good. This was acquired at an estate sale.

    There is a fantastical quality to this casket lockbox with its dramatic presentation. It has brass rings with lions' (or wolves) heads and a latch/escutcheon. The size and complexity of the latch suggest that it was designed to keep prying hands away. But it has a very interesting look that many people will like. The style and appearance suggest Continental origins, and appraisers say it was produced in the 18th century or earlier. The baroque casket...

  • 19th Century Corner Chair American or English
    Located in Lomita, CA
    The cherub upholstery fabric of this antique corner chair will bring a smile to your face, but the piece deserves a deeper look. It has a secret.: The chair has a "second skin," in a tweed upholstery that someone was reluctant to remove. The cherub upholstery on the armrest of the chair is actually a shawl or drape for the for the chair. It is Victorian, carved and turned walnut on a part-upholstered corner armchair that is English or American from the late 19th Century according to our appraiser. The seat is triangular with a rounded front rail, that is backed by two low arms with raised upholstery. The curved seat rail has a long fringe trim, all raised on four cylindrical bead turned legs on casters. The detachable fabric drape or shawl is priceless. Appraisers beleive this could have possibly been half of a two-piece tete-a-tete chair...
