Original 1920s Water Colour
I have acquired about 40 of these original 1920s water colours signed by W. Edwards, and all are amusing and either flapper themed, some are child themed and a few are of movie stars of the period. This picture is 'Flapper' type. Framed in a contemporary wood frame and measures approx. 14 x 12 inches (35x30cm). Condition is very good.

Large Nude by Lam Lee
This amazing abstract nude artwork was made in the 1960's by OLF (Oriental Laquer Furniture), now named after the designer of these pictures - Lam Lee. Painted on glass and framed with a leather surround it measures a large 30 inches wide by 35 inches high and bears the Lam Lee label to the reverse. This and the picture above (Art1090) are a matching pair.
Recently hired out for the filming of the new Edward and Mrs Simpson movie, directed by Madonna.

Bacchante
Limited edition French period print, signed by the artist but indistinct, also bears the printers stamp and mounted in a macassar ebony wood frame with possibly ivory band inlay. The Bacchante was the priestess of Bacchus and this is a wonderful depiction of the nude Bacchante eating grapes. Measures 31.5 inches by 24 inches (80 x 61cm). Condition is good with a few expected age marks to the frame.

Silk Columbine Picture
French silk picture of a columbine and owl, mounted in a black wood frame and measuring 31 inches by 20 inches (79 x 51cm). Condition is very good.

Fashion Water Colour by Dodo Burgner
This stunning, original 1927 fashion water colour is by Dodo Burgner (signed Dodo). Dodo worked for Ulk, the German satyrical magazine. (See my info on artists page). This picture is framed in a contemporary silver wooden frame that measures 19.25 inches by 15.25 (49cm x 39). I have seen larger Dodo pictures make several thousand pounds at auction, they are highly sought after. Condition is very good.

Set of 16 Africana Period Prints
A set of 16 comical 1930's period prints that would look lovely framed on a large wall. They are signed by a French artist Th. Andlauer and measure 12.5 x 9.5 inches. The condition is pretty good with some minor age foxing to some and what I can only think is a mouse nibble to the bottom right hand corner of 10 of them. 1 has a tear and missing bit on the r.h. edge, but they would frame up nicely and these parts could be hidden by the mounting board.

Photogravure by Walery
This original photogravure was published in Paris in 1923 by Laryew. Because of the nature of his photographs, (which were considered very risque to say the least in the 1920's) - he published them in his pseudonym which was Laryew. Walery was just a re arrangement of the letter in his name. Many artists did this at that time. He was a Lithuanian artist born in 1863, he moved to Marseilles and then on to Paris following in his fathers footsteps as a photographer to the rich and famous. Whilst in Paris he befriended Josephine Baker and photographed the girls of the Folies Bergere. He is considered by many to have been a true master of art deco photography. I have several of these photogravures and apparently all the ladies in them were dancers from the Folies Bergere, each one is signed Laryew in pencil and numbered with a Roman numeral. It is interesting to note that many of the poses in these pictures are similar to the poses of statues of this same period. It is easy to see where the statuary artists got their inspiration from. They are printed on thick card that measures 12.75 inches by 9.75 (32cm x 25). Condition is vintage but very good as they have been kept in a thick protective sleeve. You can take them as they are and get them framed yourself or I can frame them for you in a contemporary frame. Unframed £135 each or framed £150 each.
