Super Art Deco watercolor painting signed by the artist of two harlequins by M. Leone an Italian painter of the period. The young pierrot is serenading his lady love under a moonlight starry sky and Chinese lanterns. The details are exquisite and the mood divine. Love soft colors that would likely fit with any color scheme or decor. It is signed on the lower right but I can not make out the signature. Fascinating framing as well, following the period harlequin, diamond motif. A really interesting decorator piece. You can find a few other examples of M. Leone's work in the book "Art Deco Prints" by Guiliano Ercoli. More vintage and antique Paintings and Illustrations
CONDITION: The overall condition is very good, including the original custom framing. There is some slight foxing that is only noticable under close inspection and in my opinion does not distract in any way.
SIZE: The overall heigh is an impressive 29 1/2 inches tall x 17 inches wide.

Downsizing was inevitable and I've done it several times already. This is the big one, and I am still unboxing treasures retrieved from storage after decades.
All pieces are one of a kind handpicked by yours truly over 40 years to add texture, style and story to your authentic style.
My collecting story starts after watching Astaire and Rogers float across a dance floor as a young girl, I have loved art deco design, art, fashion and jewelry. So bold and beautiful, and so different from anything that came before it. Art deco changed social and design sensibilities forever. A lifetime collector of high quality antiques and vintage, I started by making contacts, researching and learning. Picking the best of the best, I live with art deco and vintage decor and used to wear the fashions of the day. To say that I feel in love is an understatement. I reveled in the fact that I was able to reflect my unique style and sensibilities with a marriage of old and new.
Since I was in my teens I have bought what pleases me, what I find beautiful and unique, and the things that speak to me on a creative level. I hope that you can see and feel the passion and love that I feel for antiques and vintage pieces and share with you. You will find art deco, collectible and vintage fine art paintings, original illustrations and magazine covers, home decor, marble, alabaster and metal lamps, nude flapper table lamps, sterling silver decorative accents and tableware for the home and entertaining, designer and estate jewelry and fine vintage watches in my shop.
