VICTORIAN ERA GIRANDOLES
WALL MIRRORS WITH SCONCES

A fabulous pair of completely restored Victorian Era Girandoles. Webster defines a girandole as an ornamental branched candlestick. These particular girandoles are wall mirrors with sconces, done in the Rococo Revival style, which is based on the Louis XV Rococo style of the mid 1700s. We purchased these Girandoles a few years ago from an antique dealer, who had owned them for many decades. She had been told that they had arrived in the United States by Clipper Ship in the late 1800s. A section of newspaper, used as backing behind the mirror, is dated August 15, 1879. These Girandoles were completely restored in 2001 by Katherine Lee Taylor, a noted restoration expert in West Hollywood, California. Her work order and invoice, detailing the conservation work undertaken, are available for serious buyers.

Measurements are 52" tall, 27" wide, and 10.5" deep.

HAND BUILT DIVER MODEL

In our 32 years in the nautical antiques business, this is the highest-quality model of a full-suited deep sea diver we've ever seen. The attention to detail is absolutely fantastic, as you can see from the photos. Signed by the maker, J. Niemcyk, and under his name are the letters MDMM16. The tag on the bottom reads, "U. S. N. T. S. Ship Salvage." The diver's miniature breastplate reads, "U. S. N. T. S., Ship Salvage, Pier 88, N.Y., J. N. AJ-1944." All weights on the belt are stamped USN. The box measures 17.5" h x 13" w x 13" deep, while the seated diver is 15" tall.

A magnificent model for those who collect only the finest.
