Early Folk Art Watercolor School Boy found in ME

Fresh from an estate in Berwick, Maine, a wonderful folky watercolor painting (on paper) of a school boy holding a book. Housed in a period black & painted frame (antique glass, square nails, original paint). The frame measures 11” tall by 9 1/4” wide. The painting is in very good condition. I do see only one tiny hole at the top of his head towards the right side, from an insect (many years ago) and is restorable, if desired. Otherwise, the painting itself is in fine condition and is actually floating on a conservation type board, sandwiched between the antique glass. The original wooden board would have been discarded, to eliminate any further moisture or insect damage (the early square nails were retained to place the board back into the frame). Additional photos upon request, this is a great little folk art painting, most likely a New England school boy; he looks so dapper in his plaid pants and ruffled collar, circa 1830’s. $495 + ship. PayPal or check.

19th C. Bisque Dollhouse Doll Greiner Hair-do

Measuring only 3 1/4” long, this bisque doll house doll has a blonde, Greiner hairdo and wears her original clothes. Complete with a cotton slip and pantaloons that are trimmed in lace, and her maroon silk dress has a train and she would’ve had a bustle. The vest that she wears is a tweed type wool. Her sleeves are puffy, intact, and are silk. I see slight wear to the silk, but amazingly, no holes or breaks to the fabrics. She also wears a little silk red cravat at her neck. Her limbs are also bisque and there are no breaks or chips. She is a fabulous survivor, found in Maine , and would be worthy of anybody’s early doll collection. $95 + $7 ship. PayPal or check.
