RARE GREENBLATT STUDIO CAST IRON FLORAL BASKET DOORSTOP

Increase Sales by 18% and double your hits – Vendio Gallery. GREENBLATT STUDIO CAST IRON FLORAL BASKET DOORSTOP. The castings of the foundries of old, to wit, Albany Foundry, Bradley and Hubbard, National Foundry, Hubley, and Judd Company are unrivaled as “works of art” – the amount and degree of detail in those era pieces set them apart from the mass-produced pieces of later years. And, here we have a prime example of one of those early pieces. It’s a well-preserved, nicely detailed, antique, CAST IRON doorstop, exquisitely cast in the form of a RIBBON-HANDLED, FLOWER BASKET. This lovely doorstop is referenced in both Marilyn G. Hamburger’s book, “Collecting Figural Doorstops”, at page 88; and Jeanne Bertoia’s book, “Doorstops”, at page 144. Hamburger highlights this “fanciful ribbon-handled flower basket” as indeed belonging to the “Edwardian period – American” (the early 1900s). Remarkably, it retains NEARLY ALL of its ORIGINAL, ENAMEL PAINT! The WONDERFULLY VARIED, DETAILING COLORS are TRULY VIVID, VIBRANT, and RICHLY TONED! There is no spray painting here; it’s ALL HAND-PAINTED! Attesting to its age, there is chipping and wear to its original paint, accompanied by the welcomed exposure of the base coat, or that telltale, yet coveted, mahogany patina/hue of the exposed iron, that can only be brought about by age. None of the foregoing affects the integrity of the piece, but merely evidences its ANTIQUE character. The EXTRAORDINARY DETAIL of this EXCEPTIONALLY SMOOTH CASTING shines through in the painstakingly structured, wicker basket, brimming with an array of glorious flowers, with its festive, ribboned handle; as well as its splendid, five-sided plinth/base. Cognizant of the fact that the foundries of old frequently borrowed or purloined each other’s castings, rather than the much more commonly available rendition by the Judd Company (its 1259 design), this none-too-often-seen piece bears the APPROPRIATE tags, affixed to its backside, of A M GREENBLATT STUDIO and its Design Number 36 – see the relevant scans. Rendering an IMPRESSIVE PRESENCE, it weighs 5-odd lbs. And measures, approximately, 8 1/4 inches Tall, 6 inches Wide, and 2 1/4 inches Deep. There is no re-paint ALL ORIGINAL!!! Please excuse the glare/reflection of the light on the piece’s rich, enamel paint, which gives the impression that there are some white spots/areas on the piece; it is merely reflected light…. KINDLY VIEW ALL THE SCANS THAT FOLLOW…. Box is to be used, please submit the relevant zip code for a quote…. FREE image hosting (including supersized) with Vendio Sales Manager.

EXQUISITE CAST IRON LACS MARKED SPANISH GIRL DOORSTOP

Increase Sales by 18% and double your hits – Vendio Gallery. EXQUISITE CAST IRON LACS MARKED SPANISH GIRL DOORSTOP. The castings of the foundries of old, to wit, Albany Foundry, Bradley and Hubbard, National Foundry, Hubley, and Judd Company are unrivaled as “works of art” – the amount and degree of detail in those era pieces set them apart from the mass-produced pieces of later years. And, here we have a prime example of one of those early pieces. It’s a well-preserved, nicely detailed, antique, CAST IRON doorstop, exquisitely cast in the form of a SPANISH GIRL, expertly crafted by LACS. This none-too-often-seen doorstop is referenced in Jeanne Bertoia’s book, “Doorstops”, at page 33. She is definitely reminiscent of the appeal for the Spanish motifs of the Art Deco period. Although timeworn and naturally aged, this lovely piece VIVIDLY retains NEARLY ALL of its ORIGINAL, POLYCHROME PAINT, with its detailing colors yet VIBRANT and RICHLY TONED! There is no spray painting here; it’s ALL HAND-PAINTED! Attesting to its age, there is chipping and wear to its original paint. And, where that chipping and wear does occur, it is followed by the exposure of the welcomed, base coat, or that telltale, yet coveted, mahogany patina/hue of the exposed iron, that can only be brought about by age. None of the foregoing affects the integrity of the piece, but merely evidences its ANTIQUE character. The EXTRAORDINARY AND SPLENDID DETAIL of this EXCEPTIONALLY SMOOTH CASTING shines through in the masterful, physical attributes and proportionment of the young lady herself; in her incredibly detailed and elaborate garb, including her fitted bodice and waistband, her flowing, long skirt, her elegant fan, and her requisite peineta (hair comb), with the wonderfully enticing mantilla; as well as in the 5-sided plinth/base, upon which she prances. SUCH MASTERY OF DETAIL IS UNRIVALLED IN THIS AGE! 760 – see the relevant scans. Rendering a STUNNINGLY IMPRESSIVE PRESENCE, it’s hefty, weighing nearly 4 1/2 lbs. And measures, approximately, 10 inches Tall, 5 1/2 inches Wide (from the edge of her delicate hand to the edge of her coquettish fan), and 2 inches Deep. Remnants of some sort of soft covering still adhere to its underside. There is no re-paint ALL ORIGINAL!!! , damage (other than the specified, paint chipping/wear), or repairs to this EARLY AND PRIZED PIECE! Please excuse the glare/reflection of the light on the piece’s rich paint, which gives the impression that there are some white spots/areas on the piece; it is merely reflected light….
