A Pair of Deco

I really loved these deco sailing boat mirrors. Maylands. This is the second topless woman this week who seems to have trouble removing the apparel.

    What sailing boat mirrors?

    “There she blows!”

  3. meccano101 says:

    I’m not familiar with nautical lingo, is this a ships sextant?

  4. Mecano, you might be better going with “rowlocks” or “barnacles on her bottom” I think.

  5. A rather disturbing laughing face (perhaps Chairman Mao?) off to the left which I don’t remember being there.

  6. meccano101 says:

    never the less, she has lovely eyes.

  7. Del Quant says:

    That brass lamp has clearly been inexpertly buffed. Tsk.

  8. meccano101 says:

    I don’t think she has finished buffing it, she is still holding the cloth.

  9. That’s a straightjacket.

  10. Greg Tangey says:

    Must’ve been cold at the time of painting..

  11. tomthrett says:

    she has a nice rack.

  12. lisa says:

    I think Margaret Court needs to see this, she obviously missed out in the 70′s and it’s never too late.

  13. Oh, I should have made it clear. This is Margaret Court. The handle of a tennis raquet is partly visible behind the ship. I think it was a raquet handle.

  14. Del Quant says:

    Nice rack, nice racquet…

  15. lisa says:

    Billie Jean King missed out then.

  16. Anonymous Perthon says:

    just glancing at your reflection in the glass LA, where you perhaps carrying a set of bagpipes when you took this photo of the sailing ships?

  17. lisa says:

    Extraordinary how a 30-year-old painting has got the men of Perth so excited they can’t stand up.

  18. Del Quant says:

    Actually, I went and bought this painting immediately after I saw the image, and I’ve been ‘standing’ ever since…

  19. #17, yes, I was piping her on board.

  20. Anonymous Perthon says:

    Oh calm down people they’re clearly fake, FAKE – there is no way that mirrored finish could be so perfect after 50 years.

  21. Del Quant says:

    Actually, it’s also extraordinary how the Great Art of the 1970s obviously has a Proustian capacity to evoke a steady childhood diet of Benny Hill, Dick Emery, The Two Ronnies & Kenny Everett et al. Nudge nudge, wink wink, fnarr fnarr, phwoar!! etc, etc…

  22. Del, are you meaning for your name to be linked to a website? it’s not linked properly if so.

  23. Del Quant says:

    Nope. Much like the painting, I’m the product of someone’s fevered imagination circa 1971.

  24. CK says:

    Oh dear. Painting you say, Del Quant?

    I actually thought it was a quick snap of the shopkeep serving.
