Vintage American Amish “Nine Patch” Hand-Stitched Patchwork Quilt
Located in Barrington, IL
This beautifully hand-crafted cotton quilt, created by the Amish community of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, dates to the mid-1900s and features the timeless “Nine Patch” pattern—an enduring symbol of simplicity, harmony, and tradition in American quiltmaking.
Composed of individually hand-cut and hand-stitched pieces in a rich palette of purples, blues, and earthy browns, the quilt exemplifies the quiet elegance of Amish design. The fine stitching throughout reflects a high level of skill and dedication, embodying the values of patience, precision, and practicality.
Like many quilts of its kind, this piece was made using repurposed materials—textiles originally intended for everyday use—transformed through craftsmanship into an object of lasting beauty. It stands as a poignant example of upcycling long before the term existed, turning necessity into art and function into heritage.
While photographs may not fully capture the depth and nuance of its colors, a video is provided for a more accurate representation.
This quilt offers not only warmth and comfort but also a tangible connection to a unique cultural legacy—ideal for collectors, historians, or those with an eye for the understated artistry of American folk tradition.

Bellamy Style Hand-Carved New England Pine Eagle, Early to Mid-20th Century
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This is an original American eagle, hand-carved from pine during the early to mid 20th century. The eagle features a touch of original gilt over yellow sizing with hand-painted highlights, emphasizing the eyes and beak.
The eagle is displayed with both wings fully outstretched. The feathers are expertly detailed, especially considering that this eagle is a single-piece carving.
The eagle is both the national bird and the national animal of the United States. The founders of the United States were fond of comparing their new republic with the Roman Republic, in which eagle imagery, usually the golden eagle, was prominent. On June 20, 1782, the Continental Congress adopted the design for the Great Seal of the United States depicting a bald eagle grasping 13 arrows in its sinister (left) talon and an olive branch with its dexter (right) talons. Those arrows are tightly aligned, a symbol of "strength in unity" that's found in the traditional cultures everywhere, from the Romans to the Iroquois. In this case, the bundle of arrows were a nod to the unity of the original 13 colonies. The olive branches emphasize the power of peace.
The eagle motif has since appeared in allegorical engravings...

Yupik Yup
ik Native American Alaska Carved Polychrome Wood Anthropomorphic Mask
Located in Studio City, CA
A fantastic and somewhat playful mask by the Yup'ik (Yupik) aboriginal, indigenous people of South-Western & South Central Alaska. The Yup'ik people, who are related to the Inuit peoples, have a long history of ceremonial mask making. Yup'ik masks were originally and specifically designed by Shamans and made to be worn by these spiritual leaders in Winter tribal dances and sacred ceremonies. Traditionally, the masks were destroyed or discarded after use in these ceremonies. Very few of these masks survived. After Christian contact in the late 19th century, masked dancing was suppressed and the tradition all but died out. As more outsiders settled in Alaska at the turn of the century, masks were made by the Yup'ik people to sell or trade for necessary goods. It is likely that this mask was created some years later for this purpose.
In the 20th century, Yup'ik mask had a profound influence on many renowned surrealist artists including, Max Ernst, Joan Miro, Leonora Carrington, Victor Brauner, and most notably Andre Breton who was an avid collector of Yup'ik masks.
This fantastic anthropomorphic mask is carved of lighter wood, hand painted and decorated with pigment, and held together with natural fiber. The mask seems to represent some sort of smiling, benevolent spirit or character with its four eyes, bird beak, and cat-like ears.
The mask is from a French collection. We were told that this mask, as well as others in the collection we have listed, was acquired originally in the 1950s-1960s in Alaska and the Yukon territory in Canada but as we have no way to verify or authenticate this. Please note we are listing the masks as decorative and not as actual tribal artifacts...
