Goodwill was good to me!
This is my entire "junking" haul...if you can call it junk.
- 1 silver footed bowl
- 2 silver-rimmed glass/crystal dishes
- 2 vintage oil paintings
From the information on the back of the paintings...
The painting on the left is of Jenny Lind (1820-1887), Swedish opera singer known as the "Swedish Nightingale." The artist was Eduard Magnus (German, 1799-1872).The painting on the right is called "Southern Belle." It was painted by Erich Correns (German, 1821-1877).They are labeled as "Genuine Oil = Art Portraits" from B.A.P. Co., Chicago.
Here is one of them in the guest room. The matching one is on the other side of the bed.
I do like the Goodwill finds! I stopped off at a thrift store on my way in. Nada. I'm thinking you should do some research on the paintings. Might be worth quite a bit. Maybe? ~Mindy
ReplyDeleteVery good finds. I like the way you displayed them on each side of the bed. BTW-went to my Pier One....found zilch! Either I was too late or yours is just much hipper. Either way, it was a dry run, BUT I went to Interior/Alternative(kind of outlet fabric store for Waverly products) bought the cutest yardage to use in the Casita de Trash! Wait until you see it!

ReplyDeleteLove it when a trip to GW Home ( aka Goodwill ) pans out. Its always hit or miss here but its only 2 miles away so I usually go dailey. Great finds!
ReplyDeleteI love GW!! Did you get my email about the size of the tulips!!??
ReplyDeleteOh my! What nice goodies you found at Goodwill! I adored the way you displayed the painting on the bedside table!
