Signed in lower right corner, “S.S,” and on verso, “Sergej Sikacz.” Provenance unknown, however we believe age and style of canvas place it in the 1940’s-1950’s. Some age-expected wear to canvas; overall good vintage condition.
Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita was a renowned Japanese-French painter and lived between 1886-1924. The painting depicts Foujita’s muse and partner at the time, Lucie Badoud.

1960-70’s Knautschi style (Germany) red leather horse music box. Wind-up and the animatronic horse plays “Happy Birthday,” while also moving to the beat. The music box and animatronic function still works well, however the animal is no longer “plump” with sand, and therefore will eventually fall over. It’s quite comical and kitsch.

Often referred to as a “bullseye” or “scientific” magnifying glass, this piece is so sweet. Lacquered brass body, which articulates up and down, with ease. The glass piece is on a ball joint and can tilt and rotate, as needed. There is damage along rim of the glass piece and some loss to adjacent gold lacquer, as shown, however it is working and ready to use. In the meantime, it will look amazing on a desk or bookshelf. Attributed to the 1940’s.
