    Looks like a newish repro to me. They still make stuff like this for the middle eastern market. Was it in a flood ?

    yeah what I couldn’t figure out is why hand made it 100% but does such an crappy ugly job ‍♂️

    I think if it was a true Empire piece the ormolu would be more skillfully sculpted and veneer more highly figured.
