A stunning pair of unique faux tusks, these are actually wood forms which have been covered with hand-carved cow bone tiles. Note: they are not ivory. Each tile has been carved in deep relief, many with delicate washes of color, and fitted over the wooden form to show scenes of Chinese warriors, most on horseback, amid swirling clouds. Each piece sits, perfectly balanced, on a heavy ebonized wood stand. They make a dramatic arching portal to an entryway or between rooms, and would be suitable in a home or shop. Note a few missing tiles from undersides of bases, which do not affect appearance or stability at all. Heavy. We have packing materials, but you will need to bring help to wrap and remove. Ground floor.

Vintage Carved Bone &#34;Tusks&#34;  

What an incredibly lovely visual relic, so simple, yet so instructive.  Way...way before smart phones, before you simply tapped  on the WORLD CLOCK icon and realized maybe you shouldn&#39;t call your pal in Perth at 3 a.m. there was this, the comprehensive Howard Miller World Time Display. It electronically shows how and why there are time zones that follow the sun and the moon&#39;s movements. It all makes sense when you see the full picture.  
It functions as an analog, electric-powered timepiece featuring a map with windows that display the current time in various world cities (68, to be exact).  The clock acts as a world time zone map, utilizing a rotating system behind the dial to show time differences across the globe. This original vintage 1959 model was lighted for visibility and to enhance the day/night display. (Lightbulb needed.)  It is enclosed in a thick oak frame with a glass pane.

ARMAND LEMO (France, 1811-1935).
&#34;Amazon&#34;. Signed &#34;Melo&#34; in right hand corner 

Known for his Art Deco style sculptures, Lemo captures grace and strength in this piece: a depiction of an Amazon mounted on horseback, a stylized archer in the right moment in which she tenses her bow, thus adopting a dynamic and elegant posture. 
A female figure, clad in a helmet and chain mail, suggesting her role as a warrior or huntress, sporting control and confidence, her right arm extended and her hand holding a spear. Unfortunately, this gal is missing her spear (we&#39;re still looking)!  The horse, depicted in great anatomical detail, is in motion, its body hurtling forward. 
Lemo&#39;s Art Deco style is in the sculpture&#39;s clean, geometric lines and simplified forms. The surface of the bronze (or as we believe, cold-painted spelter), is worn and wearing in a not unattractive patina. Spelter is a zinc-based alloy, often combined with lead or copper, and then &#34;cold-painted&#34; by applying the paint at room temperature to the cast metal, rather than being fired in a kiln. the paint on the pleats of her uniform indicate this process to us. 
The base also features dramatic Art Deco decorative elements, such as graduated stepped slabs of various colors and grades of polished marble. 
Based on available art market listings, multiple Art Deco Amazon Warrior sculptures by Melo (pseudonym for Armand Lemo), featuring the warrior on horseback, have been sold or listed by various dealers, often described as rare, cold-painted spelter pieces from the 1930s.

Amazon Warrior by Melo

For the bird lover, this duo of grouse lithographs brings highly detailed, full color prints in dark green mattes and matching oak frames. The Ruffled Grouse is a Limited Edition, No. A 333, from John James Audubon&#39;s Birds of America, published by the American Craft Print Guild. These prints were produced in the first half of the 1900s, and are hand-numbered. The Pinnated Grouse is by Alexander Wilson, 1766-1813, and also shows a blue-green warbler and a Nashville wren. Engraved from the original by A. Lawson. Wilson, a Scottish immigrant to America, was a predecessor of Audubon&#39;s and the first to attempt a comprehensive visual survey of America&#39;s birds. He produced 76 illustrations for his &#34;American Ornithology,&#34; and along the way discovered 39 previously unknown species. This hand-colored lithograph shows the plate impress along edges. Engraver Alexander Lawson was one of Wilson&#39;s early boosters, and eventually, his engraver. Wilson began handing a few engraved plates to Lawson to be colored and reproduced, then added pen and ink and watercolor originals to his repertoire, sometimes in collaboration with Lawson. Audubon, 1785-1851, based a few of his later illustrations on Wilson&#39;s originals but expanded greatly on that work. See lot 64 for more info on Audubon. Both pieces are in very good condition.

Art Glass including Murano 

At either end of the spectrum, the likely extinct ivory-billed woodpecker and the ubiquitous robin. Both are matted in dark green, under glass in oak frames. The woodpecker print was engraved and colored by R. Havell, after Audubon&#39;s original watercolor. Robert Havell Jr. handled all but 10 of Audubon&#39;s 453 plates for &#34;Birds of America.&#34; The robins print wasn&#39;t examined out of frame, so we can&#39;t see the likely same credit. Born in Haiti, Audubon was the illegitimate son of a sugar plantation owner and a chambermaid. Raised by his father in France, he immigrated to America as a teenager, using a false passport his father gave him, to avoid being drafted into the Napoleonic wars. His interest in nature combined with his rapidly developing skills as an artist, and his innovative means of staging birds he had shot so as to draw them most accurately. He traveled the country, observing birds, their habits, their surroundings, and began to create the watercolors that would eventually be collected in his monumental &#34;Birds of America.&#34; Truly monumental--each of the 453 plates was double elephant folio-sized, or approximately 2&#39; X 3&#39;, in order to show the birds at life size. He was obliged to raise the money himself for the publication of the 4-volume work over a period of years, which he did by selling subscriptions and paintings, to the tune of just over 2M in today&#39;s dollars. Both are in very good condition, with some creasing at the bottom of the woodpecker.

Large Falcon Statue

An unusual globe hangs from a bronze ring, and showcases the heavens, with each astrological constellation depicted. From the map created by cartographer Geradus Mercator de Rupelmonde, 1512-1594. Mercator&#39;s early interests included cosmology and astronomy, although he is most famous for the development of the Mercator Projection, which was an early aid to navigation. Plus a full color lithograph map of the heavens, with the astrological symbols cavorting along with various other constellations. The original engraving was made by W.G. Evans in approximately 1833, &#34;under the direction of E.H. Burritt.&#34; Burritt was an astronomer and mathematician, and together the two men produced an atlas titled &#34;The Geography of the Heavens.&#34; Burritt was known variously as &#34;the forgotten astronomer,&#34; and &#34;the Carl Sagan of his day,&#34; and came to astronomy after working as a blacksmith. The atlas consisted of eight charts, which illustrated the heavens both seasonally and by hemispheres. This reproduction is from Janus Publications of the Wichita Omnisphere, which closed in 2001, dating this to the late 1990s, most likely. Currently under plexiglass.

Chandeliers are one of those items that have been regularly replicated over decades using inferior materials and shoddy workmanship leading to early deterioration and a sense of aesthetic &#34;imbalance&#34;. This is not one of them!  This extra large chandelier was purchased at Restoration Hardware Item # 68060228 CRYS and features crystal clear pendants and chains of small beads meticulously strung.  According to the RH site it was inspired by the opulence of Victorian English lighting, the chandelier by Timothy Oulton juxtaposes a rustic metal frame with a profusion of crystal glass, precision-cut, polished and spaced for optimal refraction and sparkle. The 40&#34; chandelier is rated for twenty-five 25W max. E12 candelabra bulbs.  This item had been removed for transport and was fully functional when detached.  Extra pendants, chain links, beads, and wires are provided.  Candle cups lend the image of dripping when flickering candlebulbs are used. Heavy/fragile - bring help!round

Drums And Senufo Stool

A piece of history, and one of a kind. This portrait of Pope Pius XII is composed entirely of highly skilled embroidery, on a rose silk ground. Note the way the stitches indicate the direction of hair growth, and the incredible detailing of the face. Pius XII held papal office from 1939 until 1958, and is shown here wearing the white zucchetto cap reserved for popes. The Polish script indicates that this piece was created by a resident of Wildflecken, a displaced persons camp for Polish and German refugees after WWII, operated by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration and later used as a U.S. Army training base. It is dedicated to William Frary, and is dated 16.10.1948. Frary was almost certainly William Frary (1904-1983), later William Von Blomberg after his adoption by his friend Baroness Adelheid Von Blomberg to preserve her family name, as she had no heirs. Born in Lynn, MA, he was a PR rep for the World Fellowship of Faiths, and later co-president of the World Fellowship of Religions, among many other roles. Overall good condition, in a crackled white paint over wood frame.
