This striking box was beautifully constructed and remains absolutely radiant

and the one with the porthole windows looks rather like the old National Maritime Union building in Chelsea

sheltering awning--I can just feel the relief from a summer sun that standing under them must have brought

It’s unmarked and I’ve searched but have not found another like it

Hand-Painted Watercolor Postcard Of Grapes (or Olives?) antique railroad lock This striking box was beautifullyAt first I thought this lovely hand painted postcard depicted a bunch of green olives still on the branch, but now the structure of the leaves makes me think they may be grapes. Either way, a really lovely little watercolor (or perhaps gouache) painting of a sumptuous little bounty! 3 1 2" x 5 1 2", with richly saturated color on a warm cream stock. British and early 20th century I believe.
