Picture Frame - S: HenRiot Quimper France, ca. 1935.- SOLD

Picture frame, 9-1/2” high, 7” across, 4” depth. A handsome easel, with a 2-1/2”x 3-1/2” opening for a special picture or memento to set within the frame. We love the paint daubs and the brush colors, reminding us that this, too, was painted by an artist! It is a strong, well-balanced piece in over-all excellent condition: the inside of one of the rear struts has two small chunks missing; this in no way affects the appearance or strength of this piece. S: HenRiot Quimper France, ca. 1935. Price $650 plus $35 postage. To purchase contact Merchant of Prato 866.813.1879 info@merchantofprato.com

HB Quimper Set of Quimper Cotriade Bowls - circa 1960 - (J) - SOLD

Set of Quimper Cotriade Bowls for the Breton fish stew - essentially chunks of fish and potatoes in a light broth - hence this shallow shape is ideal. They are 8-1/2" diameter, 1-1/2" deep. Three of them are signed HB Quimper SOCOTREVI-CONCARNEAU, one simply HB Quimper (these all have artist's initials and F. and D. numeration), and two have no signatures at all. SOCOTREVI was a cannery (sardines, mackerel, tuna) on the edge of Concarneau that closed in 1968. The plates were part of what was almost certainly a special order for the cannery, most likely in the 1960s. They are in excellent condition and may be used with care (we always suggest handwashing.) ​ Set of 6 To purchase contact Merchant of Prato 866.813.1879 info@merchantofprato.com
