Two dovetail drawers on opposite sides pull out by means of finger holes; the drawers, skirt, and legs are decorated with pin-striping. Some wear, as shown. Heavy--you must bring help and appropriate vehicle.

This standout piece makes a statement in any room. Big, and we mean big, vintage trunk will hold linens, games, whatever, in abundance.

Large ornamented iron bail handles. Hinged top with small knob and key. Block feet, one needs to be reattached, as does one corner tin piece; we have both. Heavy--bring help and appropriate vehicle; ground floor.

Vintage French Trunk

Modeled on Diego Giacometti&#39;s Le Chat Maître d&#39;Hôtel, this piece is likely cast spelter, a zinc-lead alloy with the weight of bronze, here with an aged coppery patina. Giacometti, brother of sculptor Alberto Giacometti, created the original in the 1960s. Over the course of his lifetime, it&#39;s estimated that he created over 5,000 pieces, including sculptures, furniture, and architectural fittings, most notably among these last the furniture, railings, lamps, and other elements for the Picasso Museum in Paris. This charming piece presents a standing cat on a rectangular base, holding a shallow tray--perfect for change, jewelry, cards, and other small items. One arm appears to have a hairline crack, as shown.

Cat Butler, after Giacometti

Classic and collectible, for good reason. The Imari patterns have a rich history steeped in Japanese culture and global trade, and have remained popular for over three centuries. 
Originating in the town of Arita on the island of Kyushu in the 17th century, Imari porcelain quickly gained popularity both domestically and internationally. Named after the port city of Imari, from where these exquisite wares were exported, the pattern typically features vibrant colors of underglaze cobalt blue, iron red, green, with gilt accents, often depicting asian motifs such as flower gardens, and landscapes. 
Offered here, four colorful Japanese Imari plates celebrating this artform - three painted in underglaze blue and enamels with alternating panels of floral sprays and branches, around a central roundal of symbolic plants, fantastic birds and a phoenix, with floral sprays. The first shown has a pronounced foot ring.   All stamped. Condition: good - excellent

Four Imari Plates 

This large hinged box is in excellent condition, and a nice contemporary example of the ancient Japanese art of lacquerwork, believed to date as far back as 14,000 BCE. The lacquer, from the lacquer tree, seals wooden items and protects them from decay. This handpainted box has brass hasp latches, bail handles, and hinges. Stylized butterflies, fronds, and flowers in gold decorate a black ground, smoothly lacquered. Felt lined, simple wooden bar for each side&#39;s foot. Very good condition.

Collectible Lighters featuring RONSON

Distinctive oak columns will add an arts & crafts flair to any passage you have in mind. These decidedly Mission-styled pillars with their simple, straight, square design can make a strong statement without overpowering accompanying decor.  With leaded 9&#34;H x 5&#34;W glass panels on all four sides and easy-to change dimmable lighting by rotator knob on panel.  Both in working order with decent wiring and plugs. All glass and leadwork intact.  Three small screw caps missing on metal lids.

Lighted Mission Pillars

Exhibiting the yin & yang of a true Monk&#39;s bench, this hardwood settle features 19th C simplicity with a hinged box seat offering ample storage, dentil detailing at the base and fluted box legs and arms.  The elaborate back panels with winged griffins, and the carved crest offer up much more - a symmetry of ornamental scrolling and a central scallop shell motif.  It all works out as one, and is a well-balanced piece. Faded peach paint throughout pulls this piece together beautifully. Please note all pictures: wear is consistent with age and use.  Still, a sturdy, functional and fascinating item.

Monk&#39;s Bench 

Two massive 48-Star flags, representing the US from 1912-1959, one in very good condition, most likely flown off a ship mast based on the roping support attached.  Brilliant colors, not faded, well-preserved.  The better of the two shows some small holes, stains, and a minor reparable rip at the base hem and it needs a cleaning.  Apologies to all fellow patriots for placing this gem on the ground - it was the only way to display full condition! Second flag not examined in full view but similar vintage and size.  Offered here with a rose gold-washed cast iron iconic eagle plaque with screws attached on the back.

Two Huge 48-Star US Linen Flags 

Luminous sunset scene foregrounds a small cottage with smoke rising from the chimney, with a couple of sailboats reflected in the calm waters of a lake. Subtle colors in the sky and reflected in the water create a peaceful image. Unsigned, but obviously the work of a skilled artist, with assured handling of color and light. Unframed, on wood panel.

Possibly a Godinger item although we did not see a stamp other than #29 on the back hinge.  Intricately embossed floral and scrolling pattern on exterior and interior lid which holds a music mechanism (not working for us but not examined out of lid) Sectioned for rings and small trinkets and lined in green velvet, this box has one loose foot (we have it! - see pic) but looks easy to re-adhere.

Dramatic hand-carved piece features a village scene. Spreading trees shelter thatched huts and villagers engaged in a variety of farming-related jobs. Clothing places this in the mid-1900s.

A Chinese porcelain umbrella stand with hand-painted vignettes of very busy and happy people interacting and illustrating the joys of communal living.

A handsome, gridded, soldered sphere on a heavy metal base from the Holiday Gallery.  A  tall, tubular vase with 1-2&#34; white ceramic rings wrapped and layered strategically around the cylinder giving it unusual and interesting depth and texture.  Also, a Sarsaparilla Art Deco Revival Lamp (stamped)  After Frankart Design, originally on 5th Ave in NYC.   Frankart lamps are known for their distinctive Art Deco style, which often includes geometric patterns and stylized figures. Here, their so-called &#34;nudie girl&#34; holds up a lit orb that gives the impression she&#39;s holding up the moon. Frosted glass disc is chipped but still functional.

Deco-esque!

These once-utilitarian items have become highly collectible, with their beautiful translucent colors and varying shapes. Insulators came into use in the mid 1800s, when telegraph lines became common, and were necessary to protect the wooden poles from the electrical wires. Their use spread as telephones and electric power lines came into widespread use.  This lot contains insulators from Whitall Tatum, Brookfield, Hemingray, and Victor, in aqua, clear glass, one white ceramic, and one unusual glass with a clear top over smoke base, possibly caused by sun exposure. These date to the last half of the 1800s and into the early 1900s, and are all in good to very good condition. Bring box and packing materials.

Antique Insulator Collection

Once found in kitchens before installed cabinets became the norm, this enameled metal cabinet is the cousin to a hoosier. It features beveled glass inserts, a 2-door top compartment, with 3 drawers and a single compartment below the work surface. Replacement shelving both top and bottom. Original hardware pulls, with one missing on the top door. Wear as shown, commensurate with age and a busy kitchen. We&#39;ve added a nice set of useful ceramics, circa 1930s. These pieces were included when one bought a refrigerator from GE or Westinghouse, and each is in like-new condition: pitcher, covered butter or cheese keeper, and covered small round dish, from Hall Ovenware China. The pitcher is missing its lid--we&#39;re looking! Also, three pieces of hobnail amber glass, including a lidded chicken dish, a lidded round dish, and a vase with flared mouth. Plus an unopened tin box from Celia Birtwell, with a few necessities for the home or office. Bring help and appropriate vehicle.

Most likely after Ernest Rancoulet. A young lady in a flowing skirt/dress and loose french braid appears to be offering up fruits - maybe apples?  Moving casually with a playful, kind expression, this piece exudes an Art Nouveau sensibility in its sensual movement. It does NOT attract a magnet. Perhaps bronze. Some minor wear. Needs cleaning.

Ernest Rancoulet Sculpture 

The Framingham History Center calls local son Wallace Nutting &#34;an American renaissance man,&#34; and with good reason.  With skills ranging from photography to writing to furniture making, Nutting (1861-1941) spearheaded the Colonial Revival movement, which became influential in home design, furnishings, and an interest in historic preservation. His Framingham factory turned out items for the home, and its success gave him the freedom to pursue other interests, particularly the collecting of antiques. His 2-volume &#34;Furniture Treasury&#34; is itself collectible, and still in print. Much of his collection was sold to J.P. Morgan, and ended up in the Wadsworth Atheneum. He is perhaps best know for the hand-tinted photographs of bucolic scenes, sold then at department stores and today in antique stores. This duo is signed under each tipped-in photo, and the larger is titled Happy Valley Scene. In period wood frames. Happy Valley Scene has some slight staining to the bottom right of the mount board, as shown.

Exquisitely carved Oriental camphor wood box, most likely used to store or transport hankies and small scarves as the aroma is not attractive to moths and insects. Adorned on each panel with lions pulling ribbons and a floral motif.  Hinged and wood-lined.  No lock or key available (as yet) for the brass latch.  (We&#39;re still searching!) And a striking hinged maple (or maybe Ash?) heavily varnished urn with arched bonnet and decorative scalloped side panels and base. Outlined on all edges and lid in black.

Two Unusual Wooden Boxes

Make a strong visual statement. Many commercially manufactured twisted custom canes feature wrapped snakes etc. around a separate basic straight staff.  Here we offer a most unusual Diamond Back Python cane formed from one strong twisted Blackthorn (most likely) shaft.  Exquisitely embellished with various inlaid abalone and/or mother-of-pearl &#34;diamonds&#34;, this walking stick truly appears to be life-like and ready to slither up your coat-sleeve while strolling.  Intricate detailing throughout even on the underside of the neck. Polished and laquered with some minor wear to the handle. 
...Or, if you just longed to be the lead majorette in your high school band we also offer an aluminum chrome baton, again with a diamond grid and a wooden ball handle and rubber tip. See lots #23 and #66 for other cane choices!
