Antique Billboard Advertising Sample Book-May Be One Of A Kind-RARE & BEAUTIFUL
Antique Billboard Advertising Sample Book-May Be One Of A Kind-RARE & BEAUTIFUL! This book was used to test the market to see if people have noticed these different billboards in the Ft Wayne IN area. Inside the cover is a note taped to the cover that reads I have here some pictures of outdoor posters, some of which have recently appeared in Fort Wayne; others have not appeared locally as yet, so that you may not recognize them. Will you please tell me which ones you recall having seen? The front and back cover is punched and each of the pages are punched so this would form a book but all pages are loose and not attached to front or back cover. These look and feel like actual photos that have been put into a cardboard or heavy paper frame to make them look like a billboard. In the green fencing of the framing sign it says “Outdoor Poster Advertising”. There are 19 pages total and here is a list of the companies being advertised. Based on the company and advertising style I believe these ads date from the late 1930’s through the 1940’s. I have spent a lot of time researching these ads and have not found anything like them. They are not the normal HO size or mini billboard size that you will see. Each page measures 14″ x 9″, from the each of the green billboard boarder they measure 11&1/2″ x 7&1/2″ and the photo inside measures 9 & 1/2″ x 4 & 1/2″. Each page may have small pencil writing in the corner of the white part of the page (not on the billboard or ad) and some have tape with a number in the corner. Don’t miss your chance to own these rare advertising pieces! This item is in the category “Collectibles\Advertising\Other Collectible Ads”.

A beautifully presented solid wood antique sideboard, golden toned patina and carved solid wood antique sideboard, golden toned patina and carved ornately overall, with mirrored galleried and decorated upstand, dating to around 1900 – the “Vicwardian” era. Ornately carved all over, a quality piece of excellent English craftsmanship. Believed to be made from oak. This gorgeous item of genuine antique furniture has been lovingly fed with natural products including Balds Balm and natural beeswax for the past 15+ years to give a lovely surface sheen and patina. The mirror glass surfaces on the detachable upstand are all in excellent original condition with beautifully bevelled edges. The silvering is mainly in good condition with a couple of minor marks and a small amount of foxing on one corner which do not notice in normal use and are part of this item’s 120-year old life story! On the lower section, 2 wide useful upper cabinet drawers have nicely worked original ornate brass handles in an Arts & Crafts style. These would be ideal for keeping cutlery and other dinnerware as they are very spacious. They sit above a very roomy lockable lower cabinet complete with sunburst carved double doors, cleverly hidden inner bolts and key. Inside the cabinet is a full width upper shelf of approximately half the cabinet height and underneath is a capacious half width built in bottle/wine storage section, very handy for use as a drinks cabinet. The mirrors look amazing with candles and crystal glasses reflected in them, perfectly festive and sparkly, with lots of room on the cabinet surface for placing multiple sets of glasses. Overall the piece sits on neatly turned bun feet with a scroll plinth to the bottom edge, with enough space to hoover through the front gap. This item represents an interesting period of evolution in English furniture and interior design. Around the turn of the 20th century, Victorian interior style had started to be seen as fussy, dark, and dreary design schemes which were being superceded in favour of clean lines and finer materials. Socialist reformer and artist William Morris and his Art and Crafts movement promoted hand crafted-pieces that were simple and useful in design – “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful”. The firm’s medieval-inspired aesthetic and respect for hand-craftsmanship and traditional textile arts had a profound influence on the decoration of churches and houses into the early 20th century. Although its most influential period was during the flourishing of the Arts and Crafts Movement in the 1880s and 1890s, Morris & Co. Remained in operation in a limited fashion from World War I until its closure in 1940. Brand, and to Liberty of London. British architect and writer Charles Eastlake, who strongly objected to the prevailing Victorian aesthetic, published several editions of the influential’Hints on Household Taste in Furniture and other Details’, which countered with the suggestion of simpler lines, geometric shapes, and Far East-inspired designs. As the 20th century dawned, a general shift toward cleaner, more geometric lines prevailed through movements like Art Deco Style and Architectural Modernism that would follow. The move towards these clean geometric lines can be clearly seen in the design influence of this fine piece of antique furniture, in the linear reeding to the front of the cabinet drawers and around the lower doors, as well as the simple but refined panelling to the cabinet sides. The sunburst floral circular design to the cabinet doors is easily recognisable as a Mandala, also reflecting the newer Far Eastern inspired design ethos. When it comes to the mirrored upstand, we see stronger echoes of the Victorian influence in the ornately galleried top rails, the turned decorative finials and the elaborate smaller shelved side mirrors. If a simpler overall style is preferred, the upstand can be separately completely from the cabinet and as a stand-alone piece would make an unusual and lovely fireplace mantel or even a stylish bedhead with very little adaptation. Fresh to the market, this is a fabulouse and rare item of antique furniture that can only increase and value and rarity in years to come, reflecting in its design a pivotal turning point in the evolution of interior design and stylistic taste, at the turn of the 20th century.
