A closer look at the artist behind one of the sculptures currently in our gallery. 
 
We’re delighted to share an excerpt of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘑𝘰𝘺 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯, a recent documentary by Charlottesville-based filmmaker Eduardo Montes-Bradley exploring the life, work, and creative process of American sculptor Joy Brown. 
 
The film offers a wonderful look at the artist whose distinctive, contemplative figures have captured the attention of collectors around the world. 
 
We’re fortunate to have Brown’s Seated Figure here at Consignment House Gallery and grateful to Eduardo for allowing us to share a glimpse of his beautiful film.

A piece of WWII-era precision engineering, built for the U.S. Navy. ⚓️

This Hamilton Model 21 Marine Chronometer, N5002, dates to 1941 and was made by the Hamilton Watch Co. in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Developed for the U.S. Navy, the Model 21 was an extraordinarily precise mechanical timekeeper. Aboard ship, chronometers like this provided the exact reference time navigators needed to calculate longitude at sea. Hamilton’s design was the only American chronometer submitted that met the Navy’s accuracy requirements.

Inside is an 85-size, 14-jewel mechanical movement with a fusee drive, spring-detent escapement and approximately 56-hour power reserve. The chronometer is suspended in gimbals so it remains level as the ship moves beneath it, all housed in a brass-bound mahogany box with its protective outer carrying case and period “tipsy” winding key.

This example is running, though its accuracy has not been professionally tested.

Currently in the gallery. Come see it in person on Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall, or DM us for details.

Looking for something a little more interesting than another flat piece on the wall? 👀

Hanging objects with dimension adds depth, texture, and character to a space. These vintage Huichol beaded pieces from Mexico, a decorative bowl and mask, bring incredible color and intricate hand-beaded detail to the mix.

Happy Friday, friends! This week we’re featuring a new artist in the gallery, Precious Burger. 🎨 
 
Based in Fairfax, Virginia, Precious is a mixed media artist whose vibrant, layered work combines acrylic, ink, pastel, collage, and intuitive mark-making. 
 
After more than 30 years as an art educator, Precious saw firsthand how freely children create, following curiosity and taking risks without worrying about getting it “right.” Her work invites adults to reconnect with that same sense of play, wonder, and possibility. 
 
That spirit comes through in her new painting 𝘓𝘶𝘤𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰, Italian for “light within.” The 40 × 30 in. mixed media painting celebrates the inner light we carry and the courage to shine it outward. 
 
In Precious’ words, “This piece is a call to show up shining, without apology, because the world needs every spark we’re brave enough to offer.” 
 
Swipe to see 𝘓𝘶𝘤𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰 and learn a little more about her process. ✨
