Not my dirty basket but I wonder who made the basket before it was dirtied? My little bits of knowledge aren’t pointing me anywhere on this one....
These bowls (I’ve a pair) are so elegant and beautiful but they are worn to hell. They came with an epic silver score a couple years ago. I love...
Another basket. This is the most rigid/strong sided basket I’ve ever held. Solid as a rock…almost. If this one isn’t NA I don’t know what is. It’s...
Can anyone make heads or tails of the mark? I suppose even if one could it wouldn’t end in an ID. Not as if candlestick makers are cataloged well...
Two more baskets from a sale a year or two ago. I’d think there’s a pretty good chance they are both NA but won’t bet my bottom dollar. Very...
This crest is on an 1820’s London box lid. Don’t imagine anyone’s seen it or knows who it may belong to? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] edit: spelling
I’ve never really learned how to properly ID cinnabar. I can tell something isn’t cinnabar sometimes on bad modern repros. I believe its...
Very informative video on the history of humans interaction with platinum. In general I think this guy does great work. This one I found...
Grabbed these at a sale a while ago for a song. I thought they might be pretty early at first glance. Potentially with orignal paint. Took them...

The de Kooning version: [MEDIA] and a follow up: [MEDIA] Looks like there’s more interesting content created about this story but these are good...
Not mine, only photos I have. Can’t make out the mark altogether but there’s a number we like. Almost looks like another mark in the bottom of the...
Anyone happen to be able to help me ID the carver? Not my piece but I like him. He’s got character.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I posted this six years ago but never posted a good photo of the mark. It looks like an imperial eagle in a shield? NAK above that. I’d lean...
Owner (not me) purchased this on the notion it was Native American made. It’s over 16” in diameter! The form with the small base flaring to a...
Has anyone seen anything like this one before? I’m guessing it’s African but I truly don’t know. Came in a collection of scoops. Maddeningly it’s...
I don’t believe I’ve shown this one yet. 14” across, around 8-9” high. If I had to guess I’d go with older African but I’ll reserve hope it might...
This came in an auction lot years ago. Nice form! I imagine it’s arts and crafts era and completely hand made. Signed AK. Anyone happen to know my...
Found a nice French gilt service. The mark is for Maillechort with a star above and horse bust below I believe. All in a lozenge. There is also a...
I can’t stomach paying melt or higher at todays price if I don’t have to. Wondering if anyone would be willing to trade for equal weight in...
