Little John Bull

I'm always reluctant to post anything throughout the summer.
We start working on Fall and Christmas items in late spring, and have little else to post for the warm months.
But, the first show of the season starts in a couple of weeks
 (Ball's Falls Thanksgiving Festival, Oct. 9-12... more about that soon.)
 and this one's not too Christmasy, is it?
A little Dresden-esque John Bull steam engine.
Made of recycled paper, cardboard and found objects, with aged cast metal wheels.
About 4inches long x 3.5inches tall.
 
One of many, many new items we'll be taking to the show.

Finials

 

About 28.5inches tall x 5.5inches wide.
Made from a wide array of materials; plaster, fiberglass, wood, resin... and finished in a heavily aged paint finish.
-Sold-



Appartements a louer

 
Reproduction of a small French Apartment sign
24.5 inches x 11.5 inches plus hook.
 

Storefront sign

 
My reproduction of a naïve antique storefront sign.  
Made from 1-inch-thick pine with antique nails, and cutouts that
were likely to allow it to fit the shape of the original storefront.
.
Approx. 84.3inches tall x 14.75inches wide.

Caged sconce

 
Just finished a bunch of different lights for our house, and can't decide which to keep.
Here is one of my favorites, (though that seems to change by the hour)
 but I like the contrast between the ornate fixture and the rough, handmade cage.
 
15"tall x 7"wide x 7.25"deep
 

Ship Chandler's sign


Since this sign never existed in the past, it's technically not a reproduction... but these words were painted on the wall outside of the c 1900 Georgian shopfront of a ship chandler in old London.
(To be specific, 91 Ropemakers Fields at its junction with Nightingale Lane, Limehouse.)

A result of my growing obsession with lost London.
Approximately 27.75"W x 43.75"H x 2.25"D

Sold



Station clock

A large up-cycled station clock that I reworked, made and repainted a
new face, distressed and painted the drum/frame in faded and scuffed black.
About 18inches diameter, glass front, battery powered quartz movement.
Sold.

French-esque wall shelf

 
My adaptation of an antique French window console into a wall shelf. I altered the proportions, beefed up the supports and gave it a very distressed greys-over-white paint finish.
About 43.75" wide x 19.8" high x 7" deep
New pine with countersunk and aged hanging cleats.
Sold.
