about 100 years I'd think

and looking a bit as if about to go knock on the door of one of those little houses

with a nice fat stem too

He seems to have had a penchant for drawing women on the telephone as well

SOLD Spiderweb-like Old Hand Crocheted Doily in Excellent Palette alabaster bird about 100 years I'd thinkI just love this and find it quite transcendent of its doily hood; I'd be inclined to frame it or pin it directly to a white wall to looks at it that way. To my eye evocative (especially this time of year) of a spiderweb, and capturing all of a spiderweb's delicacy and fineness. And with the precise feeling use of color making it seem almost as if depicting some sort of cellular structure or energy field. 9 3 4" d. Very good condition. C. 1920s 40s I
