To: Mr. John Darcy Noble

From: Vivien Greene
This lovely little Altar was a gift to John Darcy Noble from well-known dollhouse collector and author Vivien Greene.
Of marbled paper, Dresden paper, lace and fabric flowers, it was indeed, a thoughtful and treasured gift.
Dating from the nineteenth-century, the altar measures:
11" by 9" by 5" and is designed to hang upon a wall.

$5500.00

 
Saint Elizabeth

In DOLLS magazine, in an article entitled "From Rags to Riches-An Adventure in Conservation", John chronicled the restoration of this beloved Italian church figure. Dating from the seventeenth-century, Saint Elizabeth's transformation was miraculous, without jeopardizing her integrity, as the bulk of the restoration involved her eighteenth-century, handpainted-silk gown. Paint was cleaned, fingers repaired...all allowing this powerful figure to endure our new century and beyond...all with remarkable presence.
The figure measures thirty-one inches overall.

$8500.00

Virgin & Child
  
Virgin and Christ Child, circa 1790, of Neapolitan origins. The figure of the Holy Mother is a glowing work of art...now placed on a cage, so the figure may be displayed in a satisfactory manner...holding her Child.
See "Rare and Lovely..." pages 16-18 for more photos.
The caged figure measures thirty and one-half inches tall.

SOLD




This carved pine Nodding Monk must date from the mid-nineteenth-century...his patina would suggest that. The painting of his features is reminiscent of wooden dolls from that era.
A lead weight keeps him in graceful motion for some time.
He kneels in prayer at six and one-half inches tall.

$550.00
