A great pair of distresssed painted pedestals with thick marble tops. Tops are 13 inch square and bases are 11.5 inches square. We’ve had these tightened and re-glued and had new wood bases added for stability. One side is undecorated on each.]]> http://bridgesovertime.com/nice-pair-distressed-painted-marble-top-pedestals/feed/ 0 http://bridgesovertime.com/nice-blue-german-planter/ http://bridgesovertime.com/nice-blue-german-planter/#comments Sat, 15 Oct 2011 16:54:20 +0000 Ed http://bridgesovertime.com/?p=6144
A nice early German blue planter. We have dated it the the 1950′s era as it is marked Germany and not west Germany which began in the late 50′s-early 60′s. Very much like some Italian pottery of the era.]]> http://bridgesovertime.com/nice-blue-german-planter/feed/ 0 http://bridgesovertime.com/wonderful-iron-table-manner-samuel-yellin-dragons/ http://bridgesovertime.com/wonderful-iron-table-manner-samuel-yellin-dragons/#comments Sat, 02 Oct 2010 04:03:53 +0000 Ed http://bridgesovertime.com/?p=3701
An incredibly detailed wrought iron table we believe to be the work of Samuel Yellin the reknowned Philadelphia iron worker. The Dragon heads are one of Yellin’s signature motifs. The glass is new but has some minor surface scratches. It has been painted quite a few times. A great table.]]> http://bridgesovertime.com/wonderful-iron-table-manner-samuel-yellin-dragons/feed/ 0 http://bridgesovertime.com/heavy-cast-iron-planter-german-firm-eschbach/ http://bridgesovertime.com/heavy-cast-iron-planter-german-firm-eschbach/#comments Mon, 27 Sep 2010 23:51:54 +0000 Ed http://bridgesovertime.com/?p=3525
A very heavy Iron planter on a custom made base by the German firm Eschbach, which is stamped on the front. I’m not sure what the original intent of this piece was, but someone created a custom iron base for it and ground the opening to make it fit. It has great old silver paint [...]]]> http://bridgesovertime.com/heavy-cast-iron-planter-german-firm-eschbach/feed/ 0 http://bridgesovertime.com/great-early-20th-century-iron-stone-sun-dial-grand-rapids-michigan/ http://bridgesovertime.com/great-early-20th-century-iron-stone-sun-dial-grand-rapids-michigan/#comments Mon, 10 May 2010 21:45:24 +0000 Ed http://bridges/?p=2168
A great 1920-30′s Iron Sundial marked Compliments of Grands Rapids Michigan, mounted on a stone rotating top and stone base. The stone had been painted white but quite a bit of the original paint is gone. The sun dial is set for grands rapids, Michigan’s latitude which makes it pretty accurate for anyone living between [...]]]> http://bridgesovertime.com/great-early-20th-century-iron-stone-sun-dial-grand-rapids-michigan/feed/ 0 http://bridgesovertime.com/19th-century-bronze-3-footed-decorative-shell/ http://bridgesovertime.com/19th-century-bronze-3-footed-decorative-shell/#comments Mon, 10 May 2010 21:42:50 +0000 Ed http://bridges/?p=2163
A nice decorative bronze shell with 3 feet with great patina accumulated over many years. It will look great on a table filed with shells, fruit or any other decorative objects. Condition: Excellent patina with age appropriate wear and some nicks and scratches.]]> http://bridgesovertime.com/19th-century-bronze-3-footed-decorative-shell/feed/ 0 http://bridgesovertime.com/large-bronze-sculpture-mother-child-noted-artist-carol-miller/ http://bridgesovertime.com/large-bronze-sculpture-mother-child-noted-artist-carol-miller/#comments Mon, 10 May 2010 21:41:04 +0000 Ed http://bridges/?p=2161

A quite unusual and whimsical bird cage or most likely a hanging feeder, in the shape of a ball cage. It is made of Bronze and features a wonderful blue green patina, except for parts of the holding ring.

An incredible marble apothecary that dates to the 16th century possibly late 15th century. It depicts a vampire bat on one side, a hippocamp on the other side and a wheat sheaf on the third.
