Rare 18th C Wooden Statue of St. John the Baptist
Located in Chicago, IL
This exceptionally life-like antique sculpture is carved from linden wood and once decorated a French church or cathedral. The figure stands authoritatively, with right arm raised and index finger extended toward heaven. It probably stood on a base in a side chapel. According to Christian iconography of the period, this gesture signifies that salvation comes only through baptism. The figure wears a girdle of animal fir, probably from a bear, making symbolic reference to St. John the Baptist's life in the wilderness of Judea, between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. The elegantly carved robe is a baroque element that adds a sense of motion and energy to the artwork. Originally, the sculpture was polychromed, but the original pigments have weathered away and been replaced with whitewash. Repairs, losses, and insect damage are minor and expected due to great age. many vintage and antique religious sculptures...

A Large Enamel over Steel Metal Bowl by Prust Hill of Hanova Company
Located in Chicago, IL
A Large Avocado & Blue Enamel Metal Bowl by the Hanova of Pasadena. The last photo shows what appears to be a layer of copper possibly used in the production process of this bowl. When photographing up close under light, the camera produces the last photo included in listing. HANOVA OF PASADENA Hanova began 1962 is a collaboration between Erwin Prust and Bob Hill in Hollywood, California. Prust and Hill experimented using a small furnace to improve the technique of enamel coating on steel rather than the typical base metal of copper. Prust and Hill moved the production to Pasadena, California. Hill designed pieces and Prust, with his background in porcelain enamel processes, perfected the techniques and managed production. During this time, Prust honed and finally perfected the enamel lava and crazing texturing technique on steel that signifies their distinctive pieces. The process of perfecting the surface was a lengthy one. The finish required three coats of enamel to be fired independently at about 1400 degrees. The steel was cleaned and etched, and fired with a base coat. Secondly came a coat of olive-colored enamel. The third and final coat was the primary color of the piece that revealed the olive color underneath. Rust, mustard, turquoise, blue and green were the most popular of the 10 colors. Each piece was unique and random in its texturing. The company ran a small operation, with only 2 to 3 employees as a production workshop team. In 1967, Hill’s enthusiasm for the business had all but died, and he sold his share to Prust. After Hill, who was the the primary designer for the company, Prust hired Charles Chaney...
