Early 20th Century Pipe Holder with Carved Nude

Possibly an end of day whimsey, this sculpture was carved out of a brick and painted with silver radiator paint. I don't smoke, but it will make a good business card holder! Found in Galesburg, Illinois.

The Three Graces Table


Three standing nudes were carved in 1917 by a man in Eustis, FL. whose mother wouldn't allow the ladies in the house. The ladies were put in storage until Mom "met her maker." The table was made in 1960 and the ladies were added. Three carved wooden nudes - carved grapes under to top.  21"t x 30"l. The Table was exhibited at the Florida State Fair at which it won an award.

Sold for $1,400.00 (w/o premium) at Slotin, February 24, 2007.

Rare Carved Folk Art Corkscrew (1850-1899)


Currently at $ 200.00 with 1 day to go.


Seller's description: Here is a stunning example of late 19th century folk art in the form of a carved ivory corkscrew. The carving is expert. The corkscrew depicts an entire female figure. This lovely scantily clad woman is dressed appealing attire including a revealing dress and calf hight stockings complete with a fancy bow! Most of these type of corkscrews depict simply woman's legs. Beyond it's age and unbelievable craftsmanship the complete form of a lady makes this item special. Measures 5.25" when unfolded. Stamped on the metal are some markings that look like 'GES.EESCA' to my eyes. There is some damage to one of the legs near the ankle as pictured. She still looks pretty good for being over 100 years old.
Update: Ended at $ 375.00. Some wind was taken out of the sales when the seller found out and revealed prior to the end of the auction that the carving was actually not ivory but a type of resin.
