Only thing I can say is that it is probably not as old as it purports to be by appearance. Faux primitive.... maybe from Africa?
Looks a bit like elm to me.
Agree, somewhat talented amateur.
Common import from India for many years, to this day. Yours seems to be nicer than many.
Ashtray?
Think this could have gone with a fairly sizeable base up to 30" tall. Something like this. [IMG] Would not be surprised to hear that the base...
Think modern decorator brass with applied patina. Likely from India.
Really doesn't look that dirty. A quick once-over with mineral spirits should give it a good clean. Might need a little elbow grease to get off...
