Tennessee Squire Deed

IMG_2359IMG_2360

Our “Pick” this week is a great Jack Daniel’s collectable. A Framed Tennessee Squire Association Deed. The Tennessee Squire Association is an organization formed of prominent people in business, entertainment and the professions. This deed was issued in 1974 to William L. Bryan. The deed entitles the member to a small plot of land (Very small I think) on the Jack Daniel’s property. This deed is signed by D.E. Motlow. Attached to the back of the frame is the welcome letter that accompanied the deed.

Our “Pick of the Week” is here, and this time it is a fascinating repurposed piece from Tibet. This fun Octagonal end table is made of intricately hand carved Teak or Mahogany shutters. The table is further adorned with solid brass Tibetan demon masks. This is truly a unique piece of furniture and is destined to spark conversation in any home.

Hand Carved African Fertility Idols

Our “Pick” this week is also a little unusual. It is from the same estate as last weeks “Pick” and they did a bit of traveling. This time we have for your consideration a pair of African Fertility Idols. Both figures are hand carved Ebony and stand about 18″ high.  I find it interesting that the female figure is done it the traditional style, clothed only in beads. While the male figure is dressed as a contemporary European with an umbrella. Read into it what ever you want but it does say a lot about how the culture has changed over the years.
