Estate Sale Items

Hi Friends,

These pics were sent to me. I'm wondering exactly what each is and if there's anything here worth a second look. I'll try to get more pics but am not sure if the person who sent me them is still there.


Thanks!

 

just cuz someone puts something in a shadow box...........don't make em biscuits !

BUT.....

the knife is nice and there's value there
the bell....is a piece or a photo????/
the brass stand is very nice.....but no idea what it really is..
the fabric with coins and bells may be the kicker here.....it's sweet....

It is a Bedouin face veil. There are different regional styles, and I think I've seen similar ones from Palestine/Israel.
This is a beautiful example, with what looks like silver and gold thread embroidery. A rich lady.
Do the dangles on the sides open? I wonder if they are perfume and kohl containers.
And do you know where the coins are from? They could be Turkish.

A Turkish stool, my parents had the same model. Looks like some ..... used it as a plant stand. Even if you get the verdigris off, it is likely to leave a stain.

The jambiya needs a polish, if you can get it out of the frame. It is silver.

 

a face veil.......yes !!
I just couldn't place it........

 

Looks like someone framed them as wall decorations in the late 60s. If that stool really is priced $125 I'd bet their prices are in Dreamland.

 

Apparently they were asking $650 on the face veil and $350 on the knife.

 

Like I said. Dreamland, especially for an estate sale.

 

for 350...it should at least come with a belt.....delivered free by camel..
