Old And Sold Antiques AucitonThousands of articles from the past.Repairing And Polishing At Home- (Found June 29, 2008 ) IT is not as if the dictum of Miles Standish about doing a thing one's self could always be applied to putting into good condition old furniture that has suffered from age and use.http://www.oldandsold.com/articles11/colonial-14.shtml In The Dining Room- (Found June 29, 2008 ) A town, this, in which a lover of old furniture would especially like to obtain some examples of the old; but our stay there was but during Easter Day.http://www.oldandsold.com/articles11/colonial-15.shtml Watts And His Art- (Found June 29, 2008 ) Toward the art of Watts it is difficult for me to maintain anything like critical detachment. My mind goes back too vividly to that winter of the New York exhibition of 1884.http://www.oldandsold.com/articles11/art-estimates-9.shtml Eugene Carriere- (Found June 29, 2008 ) We must consent to life, was Carriere's favorite aphorism, and it conveys the spirit of his philosophy.http://www.oldandsold.com/articles11/art-estimates-8.shtml Our Character- (Found June 29, 2008 ) The character is more important than the features. A fool may be faultless in form. It will not do to imagine that behind that beautiful bearing and form and countenance there must always be a beautiful character.http://www.oldandsold.com/articles11/art-and-heart-9.shtml Claude Lorrain - Teacher- (Found June 29, 2008 ) Even Claude attained a decent adequacy in this regard. And because he re-fused to do more, his case is peculiarly instructive.http://www.oldandsold.com/articles11/art-estimates-1.shtml John La Farge - An Appreciation- (Found June 29, 2008 ) John La Farge, like his old friend, declined to specialize in cabbages, and both have had to find their reward otherwise than in public acclaim. It is idle to guess how the future will regard the art of John La Farge.http://www.oldandsold.com/articles11/art-estimates-10.shtml Far Eastern Painting - China- (Found June 29, 2008 ) The Far Eastern artist paints preferably in fluid colors upon highly absorbent materialspaper or silk--where correction or retouch means ruin.http://www.oldandsold.com/articles11/art-estimates-11.shtml Far Eastern Painting - Japan- (Found June 29, 2008 ) Japanese painting, unlike its Chinese models, is perplexingly various. It tends ever to break aristocratic bounds and become widely representative of the people, it invents recondite forms of decoration.http://www.oldandsold.com/articles11/art-estimates-12.shtml Color Prints Of Japan- (Found June 29, 2008 ) This corrected and amplified translation of Von Seidlitz's standard work on Japanese prints' has the peculiar merit of endeavoring to make an aesthetic appraisal of the material.http://www.oldandsold.com/articles11/art-estimates-13.shtml |
