Maine Antique Digest, May 2015 37-C
In the gallery of Crescent Worth Art & Antiques, Lake For-
est, Illinois, this Carl Rudolph Krafft (1884-1938) landscape
was signed with a thumbprint in the lower left corner; the
work had been exhibited by the painter at the Art Institute
of Chicago.
A welcome show floor feature was the corner bar and lounge
where showgoers could relax near the large windows, away from
the aisles crowded with Saturday visitors.
In the Philadelphia Print Shop display, Jonathan Cresswell pointed
out a pair of Currier and Ives prints, The Arkansas Traveller and
The Turn of the Tune, in folk art frames for $1400.
Historical Americana, based near Atlanta, pre-
sented history as art. Steve Winters had owned
these Civil War-era chaps for some time; they
make an interesting framed exhibit for $4500.
Across the street from the Music City Center, the Bridgestone Arena
is home to the Nashville Predators NHL team and hosts the biggest
musical acts on tour—Jason Aldean, Maroon 5, Fleetwood Mac,
Kenny Chesney, Bob Seger, Stevie Wonder, Imagine Dragons, and
Lady Antebellum—something for everyone.
From Historical America, a rare Civil
War cavalry flag with 34 stars, 1861-63,
was $14,500; the mounted gauges below
were taken from World War II planes.
Some dealers’ room settings embraced
20th-century design. C.M. Leonard
Antiques, South Salem, New York, had
brought a pair of low-back armchairs, circa
1950, for $3600.
In the booth of McDonough Fine Art, Atlanta, Georgia, the large
Audubon Summer or Wood Duck on the right was $1250; the
smaller flamingo, 1840, at left, was $2400; and the McKenney &
Hall Seminole chief, 1838-45, was $4500.
Especially for the Nashville
show, Sheridan Loyd had
brought a sugar chest, Ken-
tucky or Tennessee, with star
inlay, possibly added later
around the turn of the 18th/19th
century, for $8795. The regional
form had come out of a private
collection in South Carolina.
