Stuff I’m Looking For

CARLO OF HOLLYWOOD

Mel and I collect Carlo of Hollywood watercolor paintings with the angular and/or forced perspective frames. If you are selling any we’d love to see them and possibly add them to our collection. Below are some examples.

Below is a picture of the rotisserie attachment.

    I have a ballerina lamp that is sooooooo very similar to your fish lamp. All of the color (I remember very very faint pastel-y colors on her bodice, tutu and tights especially though it may have been all over) is gone and she is just a pale off white now. How can I find the original colors like you did for your fish lamp? Is there a place where I can post a photo of her for you to see? I LOVE her sooooo much!

    Hi, Just found your site. You have a very nice Carlo collection. I think I have one, that you

    Hello,

    I have 1 vintage Westinghouse griddle roasters and also a one that I believe to be a warmer.
    The warmer has 3 glass food containers, and 2 of the containers have glass lids. Both have the base cabinets with the timers on them.
    I could email you some photos of them if you would like. They haven’t been restored but both are in fairly good condition. Love your products, and how your keeping our past alive one item at a time.

    Congrats on finding the rattan pieces. I was watching “My Dear Secretary” (Kirk Douglas, Laraine Day, Keenan Wynn 1948) which has terrific interiors like an all white living room a bedroom with a lamp that was amazing but the film was too grainy for a good look. I swear his beach house furniture had 9 bands of rattan. I have the movie in a boxed set of DVDs with average (for the price) quality transfers but if you want a peek you can rent or buy a download on Amazon.

    BTW Where are you located?

    You might want to check out E Street Thrift in Sac. – there are some ceramic figurines that look like others you’ve highlighted here and two chalkware heads. Not sure if it is what you are looking for, but I thought of you when I saw those pieces.

    Nice Carlo colection. BTW…just curious….was Carlos gay? I mean, so many of his paintings consisted of either shirtless men, ballerinas, men in tights…etc.

      Hey Dean,

      Thanks for the compliment. To be honest with you there is really no info on Carlo especially his sexual orientation. His subject matter may hint at his orientation but I just don’t know. All I know is I love his work!

    Hi! I have been trying to find out about a painting by Gill that I have of a Paris street scene, it hung in my father in law’s study for many years. It is Appx 16″ High by 36″ wide not including the original frame. I would like to sell it but cannot find any prices for the ones like this. I have some pictures of it, any suggestions? Thank you!

    I previously forward to you copies of 3 pictures I have. They where purchased in 1956 in Long Beach, Ca. 1 large oriental and 2 smaller orientals. I am trying to get an appraisal on these water colors. If you did not receive my email and would like to see these pictures please reply.

    Love your site and thank you for reminding me how cool things were from this time and why I love them so much. Your collections are amazing and I actually stumbled upon your site after I was trying to find information on the two paintings I came across at a local thrift store the other day. The frames really caught my eye and the pictures are pretty cool as well. They are original Carlo watercolors very similar to the ones that you indicate you are looking for (very top of the page with palm trees in a green frame). I am not sure if I am going to keep them or what I am going to do with them, but I would like to know if you have any suggestions on restoring them or who does this type of thing? If I do decide to sell them (I have so many other projects that I am working on, so this one may be too much for me), would you be interested?

    Thanks again for the amazing site…love your taste!

    OMG! Just yesterday, for my birthday, I received the piece that appears in the lower left-hand corner of the top set of four paintings. It is just gorgeous. Now I must find the one that appears in the top right-hand corner of the same set. I am officially hooked.

    I have a pair of Carlo watercolors almost identical to the pair you have listed(the frame is very dark),they are of 1.) a slave woman chained? and 2.) a slave man chained.

    Feel free to mail me with your interest and/or comment.

    Thank you for your time and consideration into this matter.
