Up for sale is this outstanding Polar Bear Paper Mache Form. What a great piece of Folk Art. Ready to be hung anywhere. It is signed inside: 93 over 12/28/66 G.G. It does have normal wear around its nose and mouth. This is the older thicker paper mache. I just love the overall form. PRICE: $495.

19thC One Drawer Stand and 19thC Walnut Footstool





Masonstiques is pleased to offer for sale this great 19thC Single Drawer Stand and this wonderful 19thC Walnut Footstool. The one drawer stand is outstanding. I believe the wood to be tiger cherry, but not 100% certain. The turnings are beautiful. The drawer is nicely dovetailed. Slight staining on top. The knob is half missing, but original. And it stands 28"tall. PRICE: $475. The 19thC Walnut Footstool retains is original finish. It has the whale tail cutouts, splayed legs, and shaped apron. All cut nail construction. It does have a piece of wood missing on the outside leg. It looks to have been missing for quite a long time, maybe even since it was made. PRICE: $135. antiquemanjeff@gmail.com

Industrial Sign-Cobbler Bench- Hanging Cupboard-19thC trunk-




Please contact me if these or other items are of interest. Many items are located in Mass. But I do have a few here in TX: the Horse Weathervane and the Kroger Box. I will do my best to provide more pics if need be and answer any questions you might have. This industrial Coffee Shop sign is great. Vibrant yellow. I would guess it is from the 50's. I love its dog-bone shape. It is heavy, but it has its original oustanding hanging brackets for easy mounting. The apothecary hanging cupboard retains a nice old grain paint. It contains 4 apothecary drawers in the base. A great kitchen piece perhaps. The old cobbler's bench in an older dry blue paint. This is one of my favorite items. It would be great for a tv and the drawers would be perfect for dvds. And lastly, the scraped down blue 19thC trunk. Good overall condition with wonderful bracket type cut out feet. Again, if you have any questions don't hesitate to email: antiquemanjeff@gmail.com or call: 1-410-562-4748

MASONSTIQUES

Welcome to Masonstiques. My name is Jeff Mason and I currently reside in Harker Heights, Texas. My wife(Beth) and I have been married 14 years. She has been in the army almost 16 years. I am a proud stay at home Dad for our 7 year old daughter(Cadence) and 10 year old son(Tyler). They are turning into very good helpers.

I have been collecting and dealing in Country Antiques for nearly 22 years. Growing up in New England allowed me to gain both the knowledge and appreciation for good early painted furniture. I work very hard at finding the best painted surfaces I can find. Many of them are original or early overpaints. I also do my very best to offer them at affordable prices.

I carry mostly painted country furniture, primitives, folk art and varied smalls. Please let me know what you are in the market for and I will keep an eye out for it.

Shipping is via blanket wrap shipper or one of your choosing. Buyer pays for all shipping. Pick-ups are always welcome. No extra fees for temporary storage. Deliveries are possible if within range for a small fee. Most smalls will be shipped via USPS, UPS or FedEX.

If I can be of any assistance please contact me. Jeff Mason 2017 Grizzly Trail Harker Heights, TX 76548 antiquemanjeff@gmail.com or call: 1-410-562-4748
