This was listed in the catalog (in Oakland, CA) for and expected sale price of $500-700. It went for $2,750 hammer price, with buyer premiums and sales tax that is over $3,500. Oh well! Just thought some of you would be interested.

But Bilge? I don't think so .... :roll:

It is a beautiful work...Thanks for posting...

Does not have anything to do with TIKI! Wrong area to post! Put in BILGE! You should look before you blow up on someone. This is completely Tiki. Just because it has Mercedes in the headline doesn't mean it was for a car. It was for a beautiful velvet painting of a woman named Mercedes. It's 100% legit. This is one of my main problems with TC is how quickly people lambast others. I wish it was more chill around here, I know I keep wishing and in the 8+ years here on the site, it keeps happening...

There have been a lot of posts by bots around the site lately. And this could easily be mistaken for a bot. Sit back, have a mai tai, and enjoy the lovely velvet. No more fucking this, or fucking that. Kuu aku.

M mrsmiley Tiki Socialite Las Vegas, NV Joined: Apr 03, 2002 Posts: 3197	M mrsmiley Posted posted on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 8:09 AM That fun old tiki bar (and restaurant) Minnie's in Modesto California had a bunch of Tyree's at one point. Black Velvet paintings cetainly can fall under the banner of Tiki (not the Mexican ones, usually). In fact there are a few current Tiki Artists who dabble in Black Velvet these days. Sometimes a tiki does not have to be present to be considered "tiki".

It's not velvet, but it sure is nice! Oh come on now! Now you've just gone too far. Those little emblems on her frock are clearly the flag of Shetland, and we all know Shetland is not tiki! While it is a nice depiction of a Shetland islander girl shedding her coverings, most likely after returning from a midsummer celebration of Shetland Flag Day, anybody can plainly see it has nothing to do with tiki. -Randy

No need to respond Hale Tiki, you'll have to keep your 27 posts a day streak going in another thread. :lol:

(I've been REALLY bored at work lately, despite the mound of work I have to do. What? It keeps me sane.) And Aquarj, you caught me. Her tan is obviously from the amount of sun she receives on her Nordic skin, being so far north of England and all, where they get 6 months of sunlight and all. Well, you caught me. I'm a dirty Scotsman.
