Canadiana & Historic Objects

Join us for a fresh-to-the-market line-up of Canadiana and folk art from some of the best collections in the country. The material dates from the 19th and 20th centuries. It features signature pieces from the late Honourable Jim Fleming, Bill and Kristin Kendall, Brian Hutchison and Alba DiCenso, Leigh Moore and the late Wendy Daxon, June and the late David Chambers, and others. Included is a lineup of Canadian art ranging from the traditional work of J.J. Kenyon (Chambers Collection) and Homer Watson, to the folk art of Maud Lewis. We feature untouched heirloom furniture in colour, historic stoneware and pottery, trade signs, hooked rugs, weathervanes and iron ware. From the Fleming Collection is the inlaid 1877 Peel County chest of drawers featured on page 503 of "Canadian Folk Art to 1950" by Fleming and Rowan. Other highlights include a remarkable decorated Mohawk cradle board, a decorated stoneware flask incised, ?Collinson, St Thomas, C.W.?, and a left-facing beaver amber pint fruit jar.
