Set of 6 Antique English Sheet Music Broadside Prints, Framed
$80.00Description
A stunning and cohesive set of six antique English broadside sheet music prints, each professionally framed with gold-tone frames and rich black matting. These engravings depict classic 18th-century English songs and ballads, complete with ornate illustrative vignettes at the top of each piece — featuring scenes of Georgian-era figures in period dress, tavern settings, and pastoral landscapes rendered in fine engraving detail. The prints include titles such as 'The Continental Farmer,' 'The Thrifty Spouse,' and other period ballads, each presented with full musical notation in period calligraphic style alongside lyric verses. The illustrative headers are characteristic of the London broadside print tradition, likely produced between 1740–1790, a golden era for popular song publishing in England. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a matched decorative set with strong provenance appeal — perfect for a Georgian or Colonial-themed interior, a music room, a library, or as a serious addition to a collection of 18th-century English ephemera and printed music history. The uniformity of the framing makes them ideal for a gallery wall display.

Illadro Porcelain Duck Group Figurine with Reeds
Sculpture & Figurines
This charming porcelain duck grouping captures a serene natural scene with three ducks nestled among tall cattail reeds, rendered in soft celadon greens, warm taupes, and crisp whites. The naturalistic modeling and matte-to-gloss glaze transitions suggest European manufacture, likely mid-20th century in the style of Lladro, Goebel, or a similar quality continental studio. The composition is gracefully arranged on an oval naturalistic base, with each duck individually sculpted with expressive beaks and delicate feather detailing. The palette reflects the understated elegance characteristic of Scandinavian or Spanish porcelain traditions of the era. A lovely accent piece for a nature-themed display, a bookshelf vignette, or a curio cabinet. The pastoral subject matter and refined craftsmanship make this an appealing collectible for lovers of vintage decorative porcelain.
