Antique early 1900s oil painting of an actic scene
This unique painting depicts two polar bears with a freshly caught seal in an Arctic landscape of ice and snow. It was painted on a wooden panel by a Dutch artist in the early 1900s and appears to have been inspired by the historic story of the Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz, who became stranded on Novaya Zemlya during his Arctic expedition. The combination of earthy tones and a naive painting style gives the artwork its distinctive charm.
It would make the perfect decorative piece for a rustic interior or a cabinet of curiosities.
After more than a century, the painting remains in good condition, though it shows signs of age and wear. Over the years it has developed a lovely patina that only adds to its charm.

Vintage 40s WWII Swedish army issued M1909 winter parka
Originally, these sheepskin-lined coats were issued by the Swedish army to their troops to withstand the freezing winter temperatures of Scandinavia. These parkas have gained iconic status for their rugged design and exceptional quality. In Sweden they are known as the “Livpäls,” which translates to “coat for life” – a name they truly seem to live up to.
This jacket was made by the Swedish military supplier Mats Larsson and still retains its original label as well as several military stamps.
It is the ultimate winter coat and can still be worn today.
After more than 80 years, the parka remains in good condition and shows only minor signs of wear and use. Over the years it has developed a beautiful patina that only adds to its character.

Antique early 1900s charivari pendants
Traditionally, charivari charms like these were worn by Bavarian hunters as talismans believed to bring good fortune during the hunt. These small ornaments were often crafted from roe deer antler tips and attached to a hunting hat, bag, or watch chain. These unique pendants, however, are made from the lower front teeth of a chamois and two animal claws.
These pieces would make distinctive items of jewellery, still perfect to wear for good luck on a hunting trip, or as a fascinating addition to a cabinet of curiosities.
After more than a century, the pendants remain in good condition, showing light signs of age and wear consistent with their history. Over time, they have developed a beautiful natural patina that enhances their character and charm. One the front teeth in the chamois is missing.

Antique 19th century Black Forest sculpture
This charming sculpture was traditionally hand carved from a single piece of wood in the Black Forest region. It is a wonderful example of the masterful craftsmanship for which this area became renowned, depicting a fox in a woodland setting with beautifully rendered details and a strong sense of character. The piece also features two hollow tree trunks that can be used to store small utensils or other items.
A piece like this would make a striking addition to any collection or cabinet of curiosities – a true conversation starter with historic appeal.
After more than a century, the carving shows clear signs of age and wear. In my opinion, the distressed patina it has developed over time only enhances its charm and authenticity. Over the years, some of the edges of the larger tree trunk have sustained some damage. It also shows some old woodworm holes, for which it has been properly treated.
