Always Interested in Purchasing Interesting Objects For Film Rentals

Contact us for prop and set rentals for film and television in Vancouver. We are always interested in purchasing fine and unusual tribal art, artifacts and material culture items from Southeast Asia (Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand), Indonesia (particularly Nusa Tenggara including the islands of Sumba, Timor, Alor, Tanimbar and the Moluccas) and the South Pacific generally including carvings, masks, spears, arrows, bows, knives, bronze jewelry and figures, silver jewelry, beads, maps, travel albums, antique photographs, hairpins, headpieces, bone, ivory and other interesting and old objects.

PR2 A pair of old masks from West Timor, Indonesia. Constructed of bamboo. About 14" (height). Collected in the field near the East Timor border from a traditional house. Condition: very good old wear and colour.

PR3 Voyages of Captain Cook. "A Man of Oonalashka". Copper engraved print by John Webber. One of a pair of copper-engraved prints from Captain Cook's voyage to the coast of British Columbia and Alaska. 1784. Folio. Sold together with "A Woman of Oonalashka" (not shown). Framed and matted in modern frames. Dimensions: about 16" x 21". An excellent pair of late 18th century original engraved prints depicting Alaska Eskimo. Note the Aleut's facial piercing consisting of bones with suspended beads inserted in a slit below the lower lip. "In this wretched extremity of earth, situated beyond everything that we conceived to be most barbarous and inhospitable, and, as it were, out of the very reach of civilization, barricaded with ice, and covered with summer snow ... we ment with feelings of humanity, jointed to a greateness of mind, and elevation of sentiment, which would have done honour to any nation or climate." Unalaska Island is at the tip of the Aleutians, rimming the Bering Sea. Captain Cook's mission in exploring this region was to discover a Northwest passage between America and Russia and to make inroads into the already established fur trade between the native Aleutians and Russians.

PR4 A collection of beaded bags ("aluk"), betel nut cannisters, boxes and related items from West Timor, Indonesia. A suberb collection of old examples, many with anthropomorphic forms and Dutch colonial coins sewn on, of a now dying art.

PR5 A pair of old wooden statues. Flores island, Indonesia. Old patina and bead eyes.

PR6 A large wooden mask. West Timor. Belu people. Collected in the field near the East Timor border. From our collection of tribal masks.

PR7 A fine and unusual old African tribal beaded collar or neck piece. Composition: leather, glass beads and osterich feathers. Collected in the field in Kenya. Dimensions: about 24" in diameter.

PR8 A selection of bronze and bead leg bracelets, carved wooden figures and turtle shell combs from West Timor. Included here is a spectacular, large and unusual pair of old turtle shell combs with shell pendants. Collected in the field in West Timor and made about 1950 or earlier (from an ancestral house and collection). The leg bracelets included here, constructed of bronze bells and bamboo beads, are also particularly nice for their size, age (with very nice old colour and patina) and as a matching pair. These are traditionally used for dancing.

PR9 A group of old ancestor figures and coin silver chest ornaments from West Timor and an old brown bronze head ornament from Sumatra in the shape of a serpent.
