Superb Ammi Phillips American Folk Art Portrait Painting, circa 1840
By Ammi Phillips
Located in Vero Beach, FL
Superb Ammi Phillips American Folk Art Portrait painting, circa 1840
We are proud of our acquisition of this authentic masterpiece by Ammi Phillips (1788-1865).
The finely rendered portrait depicts an attractive young girl in a delightful lifelike quality. The pretty face is a refreshing change from the stern expressions of most of the paintings showing mature female or male sitters. Phillips palette is dark with a strikingly dramatic use of light to her face.
The painting, on its original stretchers, is in untouched condition. The frame is period. This painting is unsigned, as are most of his works, but bares the unmistakable characteristics of a Phillips painting.
Portrait of a young girl holding a book and wearing a golden whistle.
From the New England estate of the renowned Folk Art Collector and scholar, John Bauer...

Vintage Mexican Handcrafted Articulated Skeleton Figurine in Painted Wood
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
This rare vintage Mexican handcrafted articulated skeleton figurine is a stunning example of traditional folk art. Expertly carved from wood, this piece reflects the vibrant culture and artistry of Mexico. The skeleton is meticulously hand-painted in bold red, black, and white tones, featuring intricate details that bring it to life. Its articulated joints allow for a range of expressive poses, making it a playful yet culturally significant addition to any collection.
The figurine showcases a distressed, aged patina that adds depth and character, indicative of its vintage origins. This piece likely draws inspiration from Mexico’s rich Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) traditions, where skeleton imagery symbolizes a joyful celebration of life and death. Whether displayed as part of a festive altar, used as decor in an eclectic home, or added to a collection of Mexican folk art, this skeleton figurine is sure to captivate attention and spark conversation.
Its hand-carved nature and artistic imperfections highlight the skill and individuality of its maker, making it a one-of-a-kind treasure. This piece embodies the essence of Mexican craftsmanship, blending cultural significance with artistic creativity. This rare skeleton figurine is perfect for collectors of antique or vintage Mexican art...
