I don’t love anything more than tiny sting rays and eels that could kill you, with the faces of a child’s toy – and the first half of the 19thc is just great for this kind of anthropomorphization. Sight on each image is approximately 6″ x 9″, matched pair of whimsical hand colored fish. Framed archivally and to match.
Shes phenomenal, striking as anything and measures 54″ high by 38″ wide. Monochromatic blue hues, appears to be a woman seated at the bottom of the ocean. She is signed on the reverse, as being exhibited at U of Penn in 1984, and simply titled “allegory”. Easily dominates a wall or a room.
Purchased in SWPA, his provenance is West Virginia. Stands 45″ tall and approximately 11 round, very impressive visage. I’d date him to the 1930s or 40s at the latest, the split in the tree trunk base and the wear on his varnish shows at least that much age. Striking piece, with damage to the pipe, arm and scythe. As with all folk art, who cares, you can’t have another;)
Victorian Oilcloth Purse with Embossed Bird on Branch. Amended with Shock Orange Coral handle, by yours truly.
Velvet Moon Bathery is my faaaaaaavorite occult soap, displayed for y'all in my favorite coffin.
The shop proper is a mix of antique furniture, art, porcelains ( I love 19thc soft-paste ceramics, and transferware), vintage photography and images, old sports memorabilia (boxing, football, baseball and some off the wall things), transportation and local paper and images from the early 20thc century or prior…as well as two different hand made soap companies, hand letter pressed stationery, hand poured soy candles in the greatest and most unexpected flavors, and jewelry (some deftly done by my good friend Jodee Harris-Anke with sterling wire and some novicely done by myself with antique charms and tokens as center pieces.) Stock is always changing, have fun and email with inquiries!

I do love this stuff, hes from around the turn of the century and conjurs up all things Wellsvillian. The back collapses to make it a gurney, when you put up the leg props. Gorgeous and incredibly comfortable, not gonna lie – I take it around for a spin now and again in the shop. Oddly, not the only gurney in the store either…play “wheres the wwii gurney” in the rest of the posts. Heres a hint, it will be the one with the screenprinted gravestone artwear tshirts and skull soaps on top! 
Madame Talbot is one of my favorite current artists, her art hedges tattoo stylings and she refers to herself as “Victorian Low Brow,” embracing all that I love about the occult, magic, carnival and niche history. I stock a million of her prints at all times including the Lincoln Ghost Train, Jack the Ripper, Danse Macabre, Halloween, and a few others. I always frame them in would-be frilly Victorian moulding, and the best part – shes so affordable, you can just keep hanging her. 
Its a touch new for my tastes, but hey – its an art store too;) New and limited giclee on canvas print of General Victoriano Huerta (one of the most brutal figures in Mexican military history) devastatingly caricatured by Posada (while he was still a political cartoonist) as a huge spider crushing the bones of his victims.
