(A) By the artist L. Philibert
Gourat, "Perouges, L'eglise et forteresse." Just take
in the perspective! Tiny, exacting details -- such as the weathered
stones where the ground meets the building -- give this carving
its real-life quality. This carving measures about 16 wide, a
foot tall.

(B) Another carving by the artist
L. Philibert Gourat. This is doubtless how carriage traffic traversed
the Alps "way back when..." way pre-autoroute!
Carved from a single piece of wood, with amazing dimension, in
a solid walnut frame.

(C) Here's a campy decorative painting
on glass, both verso and on the viewing surface, contributing
an extra bit of dimensionality. Signed by the artist, Revollon.
Including the frame, 11 1/2 wide by 13 1/2 tall.

(D) This is one of about 45 plates
(pochoires) from a book entitled Nouvelles Compositions Decoratives
(1re Serie) by Serge Gladky. Each plate (which appear to be silkscreen
prints) measures about 7 by 9 1/2. Inside the front cover, there's
a cute inscription from the original purchaser, which is also
dated 1930, Paris. Click here to see others

(E) This oil on board, which to
me evokes the 1910 naturalist preoccupation, is about 10 inches
wide by 7 high (not including the frame). It's signed Louis Tiol
(last name hard to read). (e-mail

(F) This colorful painting is executed
in enamel on volcanic stone (just to keep things interesting).
Signed J. Borel, and having dimensions of just under 15 inches
wide and 16 inches tall, in its original and lustruous solid
wood frame.

(G) I suspect this is a stone litho
and it appears to be signed in pencil by the artist (you'd have
to be French to have a clue how it reads!). It's entitled "Gracieuse,"
thank you very much. Including the gold-leafed frame, it's about
21 by 26. (e-mail

(H) Study of an adolescent (tete
d'enfant - etude), oil on board, unsigned, measuring (just the
image) 10 inches wide, 13 1/2 high. (e-mail
