Scallop Shell in Polychrome, Excellent Antique Pin Cushion with Red Velvet Interior Teran I just love the immediacy

I just love the immediacy of this carved wooden plaque

but otherwise very clean and structurally very sound

I think the lines on this little motor boat are great

It seems that he painted many landscapes over the years

there is little paint loss in a few spots and a few surface scratches -- as documented

Scallop Shell in Polychrome, Excellent Antique Pin Cushion with Red Velvet Interior Teran I just love the immediacyI come across an antique seashell pin cushions now and then, but I don't believe I've ever see one (to my eye) more satisfying than this, largely due to the shell having been painted in these best close to nature but also really popping colors, and for the way the surface of the shells has aged. Plus, bright red velvet inside, making it somehow feel a bit like a Venus Flytrap! Love. 2 3 4" w x 2 5 8" t x 1 1 2" d. Very good condition, perfectly aged,
