Chicago Fire Department Architectural Relief Sculpture (Zani Jacobson Art)
$200.00Description
This detailed architectural relief sculpture depicts the facade of a historic Chicago Fire Department firehouse, featuring castle-like battlements, rusticated stonework, arched entry doorway, and hand-painted accents on the garage doors. Likely produced in resin or cast plaster, it captures the Romanesque Revival style common to late 19th-century Chicago municipal buildings. Appears to be a limited collectible or souvenir piece, possibly tied to a specific CFD firehouse. Condition is Good — displays beautifully with age-appropriate patina and minor paint chips on decorative accents. No cracks or structural damage observed. Appears to come with original documentation or pamphlets visible in the background, which may be included. Approximate size: roughly 10-12 inches tall by 8-10 inches wide (please verify before listing). Will be carefully double-boxed with foam padding for safe shipping. Buyer pays calculated shipping. A wonderful piece for Chicago history enthusiasts, fire department collectors, or architectural decor lovers.

Seating
This striking pair of cube ottomans is fully upholstered in a bold black-and-white leopard print fabric, delivering a high-impact statement that suits glam, Hollywood Regency, and eclectic interior styles alike.

Versatile in function, these pieces work equally well as footrests, accent seating, or side tables with a tray. The matching set allows for symmetrical placement flanking a sofa or chair, or use them independently in separate rooms for a cohesive design thread throughout the home.

American Brilliant Cut Crystal Punch Bowl Set
Glassware & Crystal
This stunning American Brilliant Cut glass platter and creamer represents the pinnacle of the brilliant cutting period, roughly spanning 1876 to 1916. Characterized by its deeply incised geometric motifs — including hobstar medallions, pinwheel fans, crosshatching, and fine star-cut accents — this set exemplifies the dazzling prismatic quality that made American cut glass the most celebrated glassware of its era. Creamer 6” x3@h x 4” The large rectangular tray features a bold radiating fan design flanked by repeating star and crescent motifs, while the companion punch bowl displays equally intricate all-over cutting with a scalloped rim and matching pattern vocabulary. A period-appropriate glass ladle completes the ensemble, suggesting the set was kept together and likely used for formal entertaining. Pieces of this quality and completeness are increasingly difficult to find intact. The heavy lead crystal construction produces the brilliant light refraction that collectors prize, and the cohesive pattern across all pieces suggests they were purchased as a matched set from a single manufacturer, possibly Hawkes, Libbey, or a comparable house of the period.
