Sometimes the old coonhounds lounge out behind the damp haystacks after a hunt and smoke Moore cigarettes in ebony filters. Beautiful Antique Hermann Gustav Simon Hunting Dogs print. These are English Setters, I believe. Framed in original vintage wooden frame. 16.5” x 21.5”.
$75. Herman Gustav Simon was born in Germany in 1846. The Simon family emigrated to the United States, settling in Philadelphia in 1848. Early in his life Herman Simon displayed an artistic talent. He entered the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and exhibited in the Annual Exhibition of 1863. He also exhibited several paintings at the Centennial Exhibition of 1876. A contemporary of Thomas Eakins at the Academy, Herman Simon came to specialize in animal, sporting and landscape scenes. He exhibited several times between 1876 and 1887 at the Academy and with the Philadelphia Society of Artists in 1879-81. Source - Askart.com.
Told the girls I really wasn’t in a “gleaming good mood” for portrait taking, but Flora insisted. In two weeks I’ll be leaving her, my old silver cigarette case filled with Gitanes, my flannel trousers pressed for an exotic beauty in Tangiers. No more bourgeois banality for Boris! Kidding aside this is a very neat, old framed family portrait. 17” x 12. Wooden distressed frame.

Original seascape painted on vintage Japanese wooden jewelry box. Very Florentine-like, which makes me guess it was probably originally made in Italy. Don’t worry, the original print on there was very boring, and did the box little justice ;) Left the original tag on the back. The box does have vintage wear. 7.5” x 6” x 1.75”D.

I was on the verge of buying these antique nesting tables, and then knew if I did they’d be broken the minute I set any cocktail down on them. (Ok, maybe after a few cocktails …). Of course I might change my mind. #nestingtables #antiquetable #cocktailtable

(SOLD)Original acrylic & gouache seascape in carved molded wood pulp frame. The first photo is without glass to show actual painting, the second has the convex glass that I took from an older frame.

Bought these discontinued IKEA Malma frames at a thrift shop. Popped the mirrors out, now debating if I should leave the wood alone or paint a different color? Sample painting in there is prob the wrong one for this frame, but just threw it in there. Any opinions out there?! 🙂#paintedframes #franedpainting #woodenframe
