The celebrated landscape and still life painter devoted his career to capturing the beauty of nature on canvas, and his greatest achievements are his depictions of flowers such as this. Exactingly rendered with the precision of a naturalist, this still life of a rose with its crimson petals shows his mastery over texture and color. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By the time this work was completed in 1883, Heade was well established as a painter of both landscapes and still lifes. It was also the year he married and moved to St. Augustine, Florida, where he experienced a period of renewed creativity and well being in his new tropical setting. The rose, with its illusions to romance, its intoxicating fragrance and its dramatic red hue, was the perfect subject for this stage in his life. Not only does he capture the bloom with a lush and sensuous beauty, but he also imbues the work a sense of mystery that is enhanced by the darkened setting. In its seeming simplicity, the still life reveals the subtle complexity of Heade's best works. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Born in Pennsylvania in 1819, Heade received his earliest artistic training from the painter Edward Hicks. At the age of 19, he took his first trip abroad to live in Rome for two years. Upon his return in 1841, he exhibited for the first time at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and just two years later showed a portrait at New York's National Academy of Design. By the mid-1850s, Heade turned away from the portrait painting that dominated his early career, instead experimenting with landscape under the tutelage of Frederic Edwin Church. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Not soon after, Heade also began his pursuit of still life painting, becoming the only artist of his generation to be proficient in both genres. By the 1880s, he was well established and had earned the patronage of Henry Morrison Flagler, a wealthy oil and railroad magnate who would purchase several dozen of his works over the next decades. Today, Heade's paintings can be found in important museum collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the National Gallery of Art (Washington D.C.), the North Carolina Museum of Art, and many others. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dated 1883 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Board: 16\" high x 8\" wide\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 27 3\/4\" high x 19 3\/4\" wide \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e Berry-Hill Galleries, Inc., New York\u003cbr\u003e Acquired in 1977 from the above by Jay P.

Horner","description":"This outstanding 13-piece Victorian dining suite by R.J. Horner of New York boasts intricate hand carving rarely seen in furnishings of the era. Crafted of fine golden oak, the suite features eight dining chairs, a versatile dining table, a vitrine, a sideboard, a buffet and a chest that holds the leaves of the dining table. Each piece is detailed with a myriad of lavishly hand-carved figures, including winged lions, fanciful masks, dragons and maidens. The dining table was surely crafted with flexibility in mind, as inside the accompanying chest are nine leaves which allow the table to expand an additional seven feet in length from its original square dimensions. In terms of size and craftsmanship, this suite is a shining example of Victorian furniture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The period between 1880 and 1920 is often regarded as the “golden age” of American furniture craftsmanship, not only for the quality of the pieces, but also for the characteristic golden lacquers applied to finished furnishings. Overall prosperity following the American Civil War gave rise to wealthier families, larger homes and, hence, a desire for larger, more ornate furnishings for those homes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Oak became popular during this time, due to a shortage of available walnut. In particular, the New York firm of Robert J. Horner is known for creating some of the greatest, handcrafted oak furnishings of this period. Horner was a clerk at a curtain shop before opening his furnishing business in 1885. Although the firm lasted only 30 years, the pieces that were produced during that time displayed high-level carving and handmade craftsmanship that was seldom seen during the Victorian Age, which was largely marked by mechanized work and industrialism. Today, items crafted by Horner are highly desirable and sought by collectors of premium Victorian furniture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Circa 1885 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chairs: 19 1\/2” wide x 47 3\/4” high\u003cbr\u003e Table (without leaves): 53” wide x 53” length x 30 1\/4” high\u003cbr\u003e Table (with leaves): 140 1\/2” length\u003cbr\u003e Sideboard: 74 1\/2” wide x 25 3\/4” deep x 48” high\u003cbr\u003e Buffet: 44” wide x 18” deep\u003cbr\u003e Vitritne: 55 1\/2\" wide x 19 1\/2\" deep x 81 3\/4\" high \u003cbr\u003e Leaf Chest: 54 1\/2\" wide x 21\" deep x 21\" deep \n","brand":"M.S.

The sound quality of this wonderful music box is superb and the cabinet remains in excellent condition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The advent of the disc-playing musical machines in 1886 ushered in a new day for music lovers around the world. Prior to this new German invention, the only alternative to live music in the home or business was the cylinder music box. Though the sound produced by these gems was sweet, the music itself was very costly. Elaborate cylinders played a set number of airs or tunes, and once a family or business patron had tired of them, it was indeed a pricey endeavor to add cylinders to the music collection. Some cylinders cost more than most workers' entire year's wage, and the number of songs available was limited by the very nature of the complex production of the cylinders. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The disc players solved these problems. They were considerably less expensive to manufacture and much easier to produce. The musical disc players were an overnight sensation. When upper-middle-class families could enjoy these musical treasures, the music industry began to take off. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 1894, the Regina Music Box Company was founded by Gustav Brachhausen in Rahway, New Jersey. They quickly gained national attention and acclaim for their superb music boxes and were an overwhelming success in America. Brachhausen brought with him years of experience and talents honed at the Polyphon Factory in Germany where he was in charge for years. Under his direction, the Regina Music Factory created a series of music boxes whose smooth, rich sound was unsurpassed. Even today, Regina music boxes, such as this incredible example, are considered among the very finest ever created. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Circa 1895  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 70 1\/2\" high x 33\" wide x 14 1\/2\" deep \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Discs: 20 3\/4\" inches \n Song List: The Pettigoat Dance When the Whip - P Jor - Will Sings Angels Serenade Legende Valaque Soko Moorish March Love’s Dream After the Ball Zenda Waltzes The Ghimes of Trinity Song Tell me Pretty Maiden Song Tannhauser, O’ Thou Sublime The Gondolier Song The Singing Girl “If Only You Were Mine” Flower Song I Can’t Do That Sum, Song \n","brand":"M.S.

Recognized as a pioneer in design and craftsmanship, Belter is widely considered the finest furniture maker of the Rococo Revival period. His mastery over his craft is on full display in this monumental piece. Its massive form and serpentine lines, along with a profusion of lavishly carved details, place it among the masterpieces of the Rococo Revival style. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The opportunity to acquire a Belter armoire of this caliber is extremely rare, as only a handful are known to exist. In terms of technical craftsmanship, it features all the hallmarks of Belter's distinctive style. The seamless serpentine silhouette at its apex is shaped from the most delicate laminated wood, a technique that Belter himself pioneered and perfected. Exquisitely carved at the crest, drawers, and corners, this rare armoire is a stunning example of the ideals set forth by this acclaimed designer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While few craftsmen in history leave such an indelible mark on their craft, even fewer are so dedicated to quality and perfection that they never made a profit from their art. Thomas Chippendale was one such artisan, as was Louis Comfort Tiffany a century later. Belter is also among these legendary greats, whose dedication to perfection resulted in some of the most stunning works of art the world has seen. While his factory closed its doors soon after his death, his furniture remains highly sought after for its incomparable quality and craftsmanship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After being formally trained in Württemberg, Germany, John Henry Belter helped introduce the Rococo Revival style to America in 1833 and irrevocably reshaped the craft by developing new ways to strengthen laminated wood. His ingenious technique involved layering strips of wood with the grain running in different directions, thus increasing the wood’s strength to support the intricate, curved designs popular during the Victorian period. Though he worked in America for just under 30 years, he almost single-handedly bridged the gap between the craftsmanship of the 18th century and the profound new technologies of the 19th century. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Circa 1860 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 108\" high x 56 1\/2\" wide x 21 1\/4\" deep","brand":"M.S.

This award — the Jim Thorpe Lifetime Achievement Award — is an embodiment of all he achieved during his life and his career. Presented to DiMaggio at the 2nd Annual Jim Thorpe Pro Sports Awards on July 12, 1993, it is one of only four ever awarded. Joe DiMaggio was the second recipient of this prestigious honor; he was preceded by Muhammad Ali, while Henry “Hank” Aaron and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar followed him. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Arguably the greatest baseball player to have ever played the game, DiMaggio is perhaps most famous for his incredible hitting streak of 56 consecutive games. Only three other players — Pete Rose (44 games), Paul Molitor (39) and Jimmy Rollins (38) — have even gotten within three weeks of DiMaggio’s 56 games since he set the record in 1941. DiMaggio also holds the second-longest hitting streak in minor league history, having hit in 61 straight games in 1933 as a member of the Pacific Coast League's San Francisco Seals. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A cultural icon of America's favorite pastime, DiMaggio led the Yankees to nine World Series wins during his 13-year career, which spanned from 1936 to 1951. The son of Sicilian immigrants, he embodied the American Dream and earned his place as the American League’s Most Valuable Player three times over.

Symbolizing the birth of both the American government and our financial institutions, it is masterful work of American patriotism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Based in southern California, Marcia Gaylor is renowned for her historical scenes that capture the New York City and Chicago stock market trading floors and vibrant financial districts. Before pursuing painting as a career, she earned an MBA from the University of Southern California, and her financial background clearly influenced the direction of her art later in her life.
