Scott Nelles
The Bronze Sculptures For Scott Nelles, the journey to artistry began in the 1970s when he took work in a small privately-owned foundry in the Pacific Northwest.

Mullanium Art Though the phrase "Steampunk" first originated in the 1980s, the roots of the genre were first established in the time period it emulates, the 1890s, with the works of early science fiction giants like H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, and Mary Shelley. Today the genre and its precepts can be found in every layer of entertainment and now, thanks to Pennsylvanian artists Jim and Tori Mullan, the genre has infiltrated classic American art pieces. Jim and Tori's parallel love of antique watches and vintage toys drew them together over two decades ago, but their artistic endeavors bonded them for life. Artistic endeavors which include the adorning of antique metal pieces to wooden animal sculptures forming a striking juxtaposition. Each piece is as unique in its creation as it is in its originality, a surefire centerpiece for your home.
TURNED HEAD BINOCULAR BIRD Resting atop antique French binoculars, the wooden bird features a suspiciously turned head to keep an ever vigilant (and antique clockwork adorned) eye. Metal adornments include wings composed of clipped metal rulers and classic watch faces. 5 ½". GH-323. $275.
Because each wooden piece is adorned using unique antique pieces (such as binoculars and croquet balls) no two pieces are exactly alike. Each is signed and dated by the artist. CARDINAL } A vibrant red Cardinal is the focus of this Mullanium piece. Metal adornments include pieces from vintage watches, clocks, rulers, and other measuring devices and even a metal tag labeled "VINCO". 4 ½". GH-394. $225.

SONG BIRD A vivid and chirpy little song bird prepares for a one-bird block party in this simple, but elegant, wooden bird sculpture. 6”. GH-440. $225.

Gifts for the Home
Christine Originals Situated in the heart of the Shawangunk Mountains, the small art studio of Christine Schukow overlooks the beautiful Hudson valley of New York. She even cares for local injured wildlife there. Yes, Christine has carved out a little paradise for herself in the world. Who better, then, to create some pockets (or shadowboxes, in this case) of life than her? The reality of these dioramas is drawn from her vast collection of vintage photos as well as her personal memories of times gone by. Christine creates not only realistic depictions with particular attention to detail, but she also captures the feeling of those times whether it is a classic 1950s-era drive-in theater or a Victorian glass collection.
| “THE BIRDS” DRIVE-IN THEATER The best part of this animated diorama? It’s not the animated lights on the marquee. It’s not the miniature waiting line of cars. It’s the few small birds flying over the marquee announcing that tonight’s feature is Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”. 15” x 12”. GH-437. $650.
Each piece is signed by the artist.
CRANBERRY GLASS COLLECTION A framed shadowbox collection of ten contemporary hand-blown miniature cranberry glassware presented against the backdrop of an elaborate Victorian wallpaper pattern. 19” x 11” shadowbox. 1" glassware. GH-438. $475.

CLASSIC ARTIST MODEL OF HORSE Young aspiring artists require models to study. If that young artist happens to live in a city, he might have a hard time finding a real horse to pose, which is the exact reason that for centuries models this detailed have been produced. Twenty points of articulation in the legs allow for every motion pose between a stand still and a gallop, and a uniquely designed segmented neck with a hinged head allows for seemingly infinite head posing. It also makes an elegant display piece on its own just as the original models have done since the 1800s. 10".
$75 for the pair.

when Ute Bittl of Munich, Germany
otHeR toilette taBle wHimsies
discovered the treasured little world of dollhouses and the objects and people
that live within. Her little homes within a big house (her own, in a beautiful
wooded park in Munich) came to fill an
entire room, and then spread into every other nook of her big home. And along the way, came dolls, hundreds of them, some small enough for the doll houses, and those larger, displayed alongside
the doll rooms and houses in a magical childhood scene.
These treasures, as well as other
wonderful rarities from European and American private collectors are to be
auctioned in a 350 lot Marquis auction, aptly titled “Home at Last.” Treasures include splendid French bébés from
makers ranging from Bru to Schmitt
to Steiner to Jumeau to Mothereau, as
well as rare early 19th century sculpted hair lady dolls of porcelain and bisque,
choice mignonettes and other all-bisque rarities, cloth dolls from Kathe Kruse
to Lenci, and other specialties such as
Kewpies, Automata, Door of Hope and rare German bisque characters.

Wooden Folk Art
Baldwin Wooden Art In 1976, Nebraska native Steve Baldwin left his job in teaching so that he could parlay his hobby of woodworking into a career, and his career into art. His first creation was the Rumble Seat Car, and that model remains among his most popular to this day. Decades later, it’s grown to a family business though Steve still is the lead creative force. Among the wood used in Baldwin pieces are walnut, cherry, maple, rosewood, and padauk, and since each piece of wood will have a different graining then the one before it, no two Baldwin art pieces will be exactly the same.
FARM TRUCK There is no more durable and longlived machine in Americana than a farm truck. It hasn’t really even been broken in until it crosses over 100,000 miles, and no matter how old it is, or what it was used for, it still will always have the well-used and well-loved look. 21”l. SW-003. $650.

One-Of-A-Kind Bears AMY GOODRICH, ONE-OF-A-KIND BEARS
Amy Goodrich of England doesn’t like to think of herself as a teddy bear creator so much as just an artist, and with teddy bears like these you can see why. In her own words, she states that each bear "is treated like a painting, although three-dimensional mohair is the medium". Each of her teddy bears, which are all one-of-a-kind, sports not only a different aesthetic but often an entirely different method of adornment highlighted by scenes that are hand-painted by the artist.
LOVEBIRDS BEAR Covered in brown chenille, Lovebirds Bear has a secret. His jacket-style torso front opens to reveal the signature artwork of Amy Goodrich, a pair of embroidered needlework blue birds. 22". OK-237. $695.
