OXFORD CLOGS

p1000117Wooden folk art clogs. Early 20th Century French. The strange thing about them is that they are subtly carved to suggest a traditional English Oxford shoe.

Clever clogs.

A strong profile, vividly painted head dress and optimistic feeling in a cartoon-esque style.

WE’VE GOT THE NEEDLE

cushions-on-benchTwo mid-twentieth century needlepoint samplers by Enid Stewart.

Instead of enjoying in the traditional way behind glass we have transformed them into soft furnishing folk art. Lovely duck down filling means you can enjoy these one-offs in comfort and place as you please to best display the fine needlework.

But where’s the J?


ANDROGYNOUS CHILD

boy-in-hatUp until the twentieth century in Europe and North America, male and female children were often dressed alike in petticoats with long hair, until “breeching” occurred when boys between the age of 3 and 7 would wear their first masculine clothes.

This solemn little boy is oil on canvas in the Flemish 17th Century style, painted more recently, possibly early 20th Century.


SHE’S GOT LEGS

legsNice pair of legs. Delicate glazed porcelain pins poured into faded gilt high heels.

Mounted on a gilt chain these cheeky legs nestled in your decolletage would catch the eye. Edwardian sauce.
