Mechanical Bank Speaking Dog By The Shepard Co Ca 1885; with Original Wooden Box

By Shepard Hardware Company

Located in Incline Village, NV

Manufactured in 1884 by the Shepard Hardware Company in Buffalo, New York, this cast iron mechanical bank measures 7 1/8" long and is in excellent all original condition and paint, especially considering that the Shepard Company did not use a primer rendering their surface more vulnerable than say, the Steven's Company. There is no touch up or repaint, and no restoration of any kind. Colors of bright red on the dress, flesh tones, tan colored dog, and maroon base are all very bright and crisp. The bank is accompanied by the original wooden box in which it was originally shipped; a very special find and charming piece of Americana. Rare to find the original box. The bank and box came directly from an estate and the original owner, and I have owned it since then for over 35 years. The theme of the bank depicts a young Victorian girl playing with her golden retriever. It is one of only four antique mechanical banks...

Antique French Victorian Turned Wood Doll Bed with Elaborate Miniature Bedding
Antique French Victorian Turned Wood Doll Bed with Elaborate Miniature Bedding

Antique French Victorian Turned Wood Doll Bed with Elaborate Miniature Bedding

Located in Southampton, NJ

A beautifully preserved antique French Victorian doll bed crafted in finely turned wood and raised on original small casters. The bed features elegant spindle side rails, carved finials, and a gracefully arched headboard, all demonstrating the refined craftsmanship typical of late 19th to early 20th century European miniature furniture. The delicately proportioned frame showcases classic Victorian design elements rendered in miniature, including turned posts, spindle gallery rails, and warm polished wood with a lovely aged patina. Raised on functional casters, the bed captures the charm and authenticity of antique toy furniture produced for well-appointed nurseries and doll displays of the period. Particularly exceptional is the richly detailed bedding ensemble, which transforms the piece into a highly decorative object. The bed is dressed with layered miniature textiles including a patterned coverlet adorned with elaborate tassel fringe, a striped ticking-style mattress, and coordinating pillows. The intricate trimming, soft textures, and carefully scaled upholstery evoke the tradition of fine hand-finished doll accessories and miniature decorative arts. The colorful tassel fringe and layered fabrics provide a beautiful contrast to the warm wood frame, giving the bed both visual richness and a sense of playful elegance. Pieces of this quality were often made for treasured dolls or nursery displays and remain highly collectible today. With its elegant proportions and charming details, the piece functions equally well as antique doll furniture...

Antique, New and Vintage Toys and Dolls

Antique, new and vintage toys and dolls of years past — handmade folk-art toys such as wooden train sets, dolls, rocking horses and more — can be enjoyed by the young and old alike.

Children as well as nostalgic grown-ups are still finding pleasure in toys and objects designed specifically for playtime that are, in comparison to today’s digital device-oriented distractions, far more modest in nature. In contemporary interiors, gently aging toys are wonderfully uncomplicated decorative objects primed for display in a cabinet or other case piece.

With their romantic appeal and frequent incorporation of natural materials, some vintage toys and folk-art toys are treasured collectibles, showcasing the beauty of handmade craftsmanship. Alongside other works characterized as folk art — in this case, visual art, typically reflective of a community’s culture and usually handmade by craftspeople working within a popular tradition — handcrafted vintage toys are historical works of art worthy of any collector’s mantel. These are toys that tell a story of the time in which they were produced and the people who produced them.

Like any artifact, toys provide a window into the past. The ornamental dolls of the Victorian era, for example, produced in Germany and England, made of ceramics such as porcelain and dressed in textured fabrics, speak to the fashion of the era and will add a pop of color and a decorative flourish to the neutral corners of your home.

Mid-century modern toys and dolls are as sophisticated as the widely cherished furniture of the era. As much as they thought good design for the home should be available for all, iconic American design duo Charles and Ray Eames believed in making durable and interesting products for kids too. Today, their Eames Elephant is available from Vitra and Herman Miller, and it doesn’t even require a digital screen.

Explore a unique collection of antique, new and vintage toys and dolls as well as folk-art toys on 1stDibs.
