Patriotic American Feather Art Picture

Ca. 1930

This is the first time I have seen one of these. It reminds me of the earlier Chinese needlework pictures that American sailors bought as souvenirs of their voyages to the Orient in the late 19th century. Almost everything is done in different colored feathers except the paper eagle’s claws beak, eye and the black mounting paper or mat board (not examined out of the frame). Under glass

Masonic Scottish Rite Chart, Ca. 1840

Masonic Scottish Right chart printed on what appears to be silk. The framing was probably done around 1900. The saw tooth and red border are printed directly on the fabric. A true survivor as silk does not age well unless protected. I had difficulty taking photos of it as it is under glass.
