February Gallery Auction
Lot 8642:
Description
This lot features two mid-century modern figurative planters. The primary item is a prowling tiger atop a textured log base with three planting wells. This specific tiger design holds significant crossover appeal for collectors of Esso (Exxon) automobilia, as it evokes the brand’s famous Put a tiger in your tank advertising campaign. The tiger includes hand-painted stripes and a decorative metal chain collar. The second piece is a stylized yellow fawn on a green leafy base with a single planting well. Both items are original vintage pieces typical of 1950s-1960s home decor. No manufacturer marks or patent dates are present. Tiger: 10.5 inches L x 6.5 inches H. Fawn: 5.5 inches L x 6.5 inches H. Burns in-house shipping is available. Pick up is Saturday, Feb. 28 from 10 am to 4 pm at our gallery in Lancaster, Ohio 43130 or we will provide in-house shipping for this item. We will charge a $5 fee if you want to pick this lot up another day. Once packed up we will send you an invoice for shipping & handling. Shipping questions: [email protected]. Sales tax is collected on this auction. AB98
