Wonderful oil on board of chickens and ducks by Belgian artist, Francois (Franz) Van Severdonck, c.1809-1889. Approximately 14 1/4" x 18 1/2" WITH the frame. WITHOUT the frame it measures 8 1/2" x 12 3/4". Signed lower left. On the back there is a gallery lable which is written in Dutch. The Gallery is DE KUNSTKAMER. I believe the frame is not original to the painting but it is very nice and brings out the beauty of this painting. The board is old mahogany and is in good condition with a few small retouches that show under a black light.   « Less

Wonderful oil on board painting of a bull's head. Approximately 15 1/4" WITHOUT the frame. With the frame it measures 19 3/4" in diameter. This painting is very well executed and is very unusual because most paintings are either square or rectangular in shape. This one is round and it also inverted like a bowl. It has an old restoration on the back that does not show at all in the front as you can see by the photo. There also is a gallery lable that says T. Carroll Hovey, Dealer in Pictures, Frames and Artists' Supplies, Dover, NH. Very good condition.   « Less

Early-Mid 20TH Century print of three ducks on a rocky coast. This print or lithograph is signed CK in lower left corner. We also have another one by the same artist of four ducks in the same scene and apparently location. That one is signed on the lower right side. Both of these are framed and matted. Both frames measure 23 1/2" in width and are 19 1/2" in height. The markings on the bottom are apparently a description which is apparently european, maybe german. Good Condition and this Pair goes very well together. A nice wall addition to any room in a home.   « Less

Circa 1820-1840. CASARCA TADOMOIDES--CHESTNUT--coloured SHELDRAKE. This Beautiful Duck, pride of Australian Waters,is a bird of the finest plumage. He is called the Mountain Duck by the settlers, and may be more common in the hills, than the low country,since he is seldom found in the latter district. This bird builds in a tree, and when the young are hatched, the male bird carries them in his bill down to the ground. Strange,whose name I have already mentioned, had a opportunity to watch two birds that had a brood of young in the hollow of a lofty tree on the Gawler, and after the male bird had deposited his charge, he went and secured the young, five in number, which he brought to me at Adelaide but I could not, at every care, keep them alive for more than a month. The bird is very large as a Duck, his head and neck are fine green in colour, and he has a white ring around his neck, as also a white band around his wings. It is not a good eating bird, however, as is often the case with the birds of fine plumage. Professionally Framed and matted. There are age marks at the bottom of the print, no doubt from the previous frame. I have talked to several people about doing conservation on this,which would be quite costly for a expert to perform this surgery. Expensive like all good doctors charge to save a life. This was purchased out of a Old Estate on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The other one that was purchased out of the same estate IS MARECA PUNCTATA: CUV. which we have not been able to find as much information. It also has been professionally reframed and matted and has the same conservation problems. It is also referred to in Birds of Australia but without much information. But is a very nice as is the other one. We prefer to sell these as a pair BUT could be tempted to break them up.   « Less
