It is composed of a gold embossed kimono printed on a black background within an off-white geometrically layered matte and framed in a simple gold anodized aluminum frame. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Late 20th Century. “A vintage soul knows that something old… is GOLD!” -crafto. That’s a FACT folks!!! And THIS MARVELOUS “gold” masterpiece assembled by Carolyn Kinder titled “Deco Kimono II” is no exception!! It is a large piece bearing the Kinder-Harris Art label which indicates that it was done before Kinder-Harris was sold to JC Penny Company in 1992… likely created in the 80’s. It is beautifully composed of a gorgeous gold embossed kimono embellished with textural swirls and scrolls impressed into a rectangular black background matted in a lovely creamy off-white geometrically layered matte professionally framed within a stunning gold anodized aluminum frame. It is pencil signed by Tim Vance and numbered 135/300. Unfortunately, we were not successful in finding any information on the artist Tim Vance but Carolyn Kinder obviously loved his work and used it beautifully in one of her assemblages. Historically, in Japan, a gold kimono symbolizes luxury, royalty, and prestige… Modern day designs in gold continue to convey elegance, wealth, and prosperity. The cultural significance of kimonos is multifaceted, representing deep-rooted traditions, artistic expression, and social identity in Japan. They are often worn for significant life events such as weddings or coming of age ceremonies. They typically bear beautiful patterns and colors conveying specific meanings related to the season, occasion, and the wearer’s social status. The intricate craftsmanship of kimonos also symbolizes honor for the skilled artisans who create them. With that said… Hat’s off to you, Tim Vance and Carolyn Kinder… this kimono example is phenomenal!! It will be gorgeous among your Art Deco Revival, Hollywood Regency, or Mid-Century Modern decor and at 53h x 39.5w it is a large scale piece so it would be beautiful on a wall along a stairway, in an entry, in the master bedroom above your bed, in your living or family room, or mounted on a large wall in your dining area. You simply can’t beat a beautiful piece of art… and folks… just BEHOLD THIS BEAUTY!!! Kinder-Harris was a home furnishings housewares wholesale distribution company founded by Carolyn Kinder in 1974. The company was known for decorative home accessories, art pieces, and was recognized in the home furnishings industry for its “trendless, timeless, well-traveled style.” Carolyn Kinder sold her interest in Kinder-Harris to JC Penny Company in 1992 and launched another company called Carolyn Kinder International where she designed coordinated collections of home accents and continued her philosophy which made her a legend in the home décor industry.

Robert Bushong Silkscreen Wall Scroll Chanticleer for Tom Tru Raymor MCM
Located in Topeka, KS
Wonderful Mid-Century Modern silkscreen wall scroll titled Chanticleer by Robert R. Bushong for Tom Tru and distributed by Raymor. It is in fantastic vintage condition and circa 1959. I’ve recently become attracted to roosters and chickens in general, and these regal characters are really great! This wall-hanging is depicted in the Tom Tru Spring wall scroll catalog for 1959. Attributed to Robert R. Bushong, although the signature on this one is missing the G. Since the signature is so close to the edge we believe the G just did not make it into the screen printing process. This example is what was advertised in the catalog as: powder, royal, sage, brown on black texture. Otherwise known as powder blue, royal blue, sage green, and brown. Its solid walnut top and bottom mouldings are just beautiful as are these fantastic chanticleer, the name for roosters especially in fairy tales. Robert Bushong...
