MAN ROOMS
The Gentleman Adventurer's Room
This cushy, 'old' chair is signed (see list below)
Who painted this? I don't know. The top is painted beautifully as well.
This beautiful screen is signed...
I especially love the derrringer, spyglass in its case, and the clock, which is signed by B. Blankenfeld (see list below for a little more about B.B)
I painted the elephant in 1980ish, which is just a little resin molded one-of-many. The whale, table sculpture might be ivory...or plastic...
There are 24 objects in this grouping. I imagined a world traveler who obtained something he loved from each country or town he visited. Here is a list of his treasures that he respectfully displays in his study:
Fireplace Mantle
Chinese Silk Rug
Elephant Stool
Faux ivory whale figurine
His cushy chair – signed ‘LoReda #24 1982’
Faux leather-top side table
Clock signed – ‘B. Blankenfeld June 81 #57’
Betsy Blankenfeld's Hand Made 1:12 Scale. Betsy was, in my opinion, the very best at making unique appliances, sinks, safes and other rare and odd miniature household items in 1:12 scale. It is extremely difficult to find any of her items anywhere.
2 bronze (brass?) mantle birds
Grecian Urn
Japanese Lamp (wired to light)
Derringer
Spyglass in case signed – ‘wm s….? 1981’
Porcelain mug
Brass sphere with arrow
Painted Table
Faux marble column
Chinese Screen signed – ‘Lind(?) Wexler 1980’
falling apart & needs tape
Standing Spyglass on tripod
Leather foot stool
Cigar box
Japanese Vase
Globe on legs
Old world framed map
Spyglass on tripod
ALL OF THESE MINIATURES $600
HIS MAN CAVE
No wife or kids allowed...
#2
$450
​
He likes to play chess with his friends, drink whiskey & smoke cigars. He's saved every treasure from his childhood...
He likes his geodes, shells, paper weights & treasure box
It's a good place to sit, read, have a drink and smoke a cigar.
Some of his furniture looks like it was in his grandparents' house...
An octagonal table and bird table-sculpture. I think the sculpture is made of lead.
I think these things on his desk speak for themselves...
