Hanging Hook

English, 1680-1720

Here's a challenge for you: what was it used for? The wear on the hanging hole shows lots of use, the style is around the turn of the century, and the figure on the hook (Dolphin? Rooster? Puff the Magic Dragon?) is lively and attractive. You'll find somewhere to hang it.

Pair of Taper Sticks

English, c.1720

Nice example of the Queen Ann style with baluster turnings and petal bases. All the edges nicely softened by wear and polishing. Nothing extraordinary, but good thins to own. You'll like 'em.
