This is the final Brass Bugle Antiques event everyone is talking about, containing the best of Louise’s collection in storage for over 40 years, including her famous chairs and furniture. Connecticut antiques dealer Louise Mondani Graham, who died in August 2008, operated her old-school American antiques business, Brass Bugle Antiques, from a well-patronized barn in Cornwall Bridge, Litchfield County, Connecticut. The building gained acclaim after it was chosen to be the subject of an artwork by Graham’s close friend, the noted New England painter Eric Sloane (1905-1985). This event contains personalized and original sketches and art from Eric who frequently visited the barn from the 1950’s to 1985.

RARE HUGE ANTQUE GERMAN HAND MADE CANE CUT SWIRL MARBLE Item Description We proudly offer this Absolutely Stunning GIANT antique, German, hand-made, cane cut marble. This monster is 2 1/4 inches in diameter, and shows a proper hand blown pontil buffed scar. This treasure sports a reverse S curve design, which later became one of the signatures of the fabled Josephs Coat swirl marbles, but with one major distinction; the later Josephs Coat marbles had the swirls at the surface, while our latter 19th century giant is well formed inside a prominent layer of clear crystal. A further alluring quality of our unique marble is the dual yellow / orange cane coloration, which really brings it to life. There are a couple of well trapped air bubbles that pose no threat to the surface, and these were a perennial partner to any hand blown glass in the period ca. 1865 to 1885, representing a feature of production and not damage. This jewel of a bygone era was incredibly labor intensive, as all large cane cut or single gather marbles of the period generally required between 6 and 12 separate manual steps for completion!! This antique is truly one of a kind. RESEARCH: Marble Mania With Price Guide / by Stanley A. Block; Marbles ID & Price Guide, and Marble Collectors Handbook / both by Robert S.
