At the academy, his early works won medals for composition in 1848, antique images in 1849, anatomy in 1851, and the gold medal for perspective in 1852.[1] In 1870 he spent time in Roman Campagna, Italy. But, eventually he settled down in his home town of Kortrijk, where he set up his studio, which most described a small zoo. He kept dogs, wolves, foxes, monkeys and even a camel. Small sized painting of oil on panel was the majority of his works.[1] His work was successful commercially, and was exhibited primarily in Belgium and France. He was specialised in dog portrait paintings and genre scenes with dogs and monkeys. He died in Kortrijk on 5 October 1875. In a great state, ready to hang. Just had a cleaning up and varnished.

Vintage oak keg on its own stand. Banded with plated rings, and having a bronze metal spigot. Traditionally, you filled the barrel with liquid (water perhaps) and waited for the oak to expand. When the rings were tight, or hammered tight, it would be waterproof, and could be then emptied and re-filled with alcohol. It's a long time since this one was used for spirits, and it may not "take up' and become tight, so selling as decorative only. The barrel measures 45 cm long and 30.5 cm diameter, and on its stand it is 48 cm high. Very good condition.   « Less

Original older sconces with an original antique BRASS hi/lo finish. We believe the original maker was French, since it had European sockets in it when obtained. However, the placement of the sockets was pitiful for light output because it left large dark patches throughout the fixture. So...we changed that. Instead of two sockets (original fixture), it now has four sockets for chandelier bulbs. The new layout is two sockets in the top section and two sockets in the bottom section, for a total of 8 bulbs in two sconces. We are showing the sconces with our LED bulbs. LED bulbs are included with the purchase of these fixtures, and the bulbs are 2700°K bulb color...which is considered identical to incandescent light bulb color. Please note our picture of the LED bulb included with these sconces. The contrast of the BRASS body is quite striking. These sconces have a rich formality, and yet just have so much good detail. As mentioned, these sconces have been completely re-wired in our UL shop with normal candelabrum base, porcelain sockets and all new wire. A mounting kit will be supplied. Measurements: Height: 14" overall. Width: 9" (maximum) Projection: 4 ¼" from the wall into the room. Price for the pair with eight LED bulbs: $1,375.00 plus $50.00 for careful packing and Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.
