We know this was made 1860 The machine is free standing (lifts completely out of cabinet) where the later models are attached and fold down. The cabinet is wood & we have the detached wooden box that is meant to cover the machine when not in use.
there is two of these lamp somebody got the other one I think there was only two made.I am not sure I have not seen one like it anywhere. Who ever made it is unknown to me after alot of research
I found this siloette/art in a second hand store. It was the monogram that caught my eye. I cannot figure out who it is. It appears to be a woman's head made out of the artists initials. The frame is leather like and I believe it to be the original. Included in the signature/monogram is the date 12-23, 19-36. All the best. Charlie.
These appear to be enamel paintings or silkscreens of two paintings by Thierry Ona. Each is signed ONA . Each is framed and matted. The back of the frames are sealed with glued, brown paper. The art itself is approximately 6" x 6" each. The art is very brilliant in colors and appear very shiny in texture. This is why I say enamel. I have not opened the frames. They are beautiful. I have looked on the internet for information, but have yet to find any about the artist biography or find any mention regarding the particular kind of art I have. All I can find is prints for sale. I understand John Simmons "[email protected] may know about these since he is giving/incharge of the current collection, but I have yet to hear from him. I believe the names of the two paintings are 'Dancers' and 'Ballerinas I'. All the best. Charlie.
