    Rachel is in the EU. If the seller is too, they are obliged by EU law to give a refund.

    Oh sigh and its not even the right material! Heartily disappointed. I paid 165 which is more than I usually pay but I thought merry christmas and happy birthday to me. I'll see if I can get a refund. I have a very sweet back up plan in mind if the other 40 people don't beat me to it. 3.7cm but already 156 euros with two days to go hmmm

    Thank you for all your expertise! I waited until the site was working consistently to come and reply to you all, know that I appreciate you! This one definitely fooled me, I'll be much more cautious in future!

    I've been rarely buying anything lately before checking here first-G. bless All. With the incredible proliferation of unmarked homages,repros & facsimiles it's kinda scary to go into a Mall !
    PS-Rachel,so many of yr buys have been great successes-some spectacular.We've all had rough patches & had our drubbings here.
    ***90% of the time I'm spending under $10 on everything, just don't have the bio-computer brain power to confidently pluck,or pick !

    Thanks Bosko! Live and learn, I shan't stop searching for sure!

    Next week I'm going to see if I can get those 17th century boxes appraised so I'll update that thread if I get anywhere with them!

    Yes and YES-Those Boxes (which I couldn't find for my reply to you), are IMHO one of the best shares to ever visit out little village !

    Charlie, I only just noticed this post:
    This is the answer:
    And since the 'grain' is not like your usual faux ivory, but like wood, it was probably done with a woodgrain stamp.;)
    Faux woodgrain is as old as faux marble, so centuries old.
