Quality is lacking for 1880 but think it has some age to it. Maybe Indian for the Western market sometime first half of 20th century.
I also think 30s-40s. Probably American in a pseudo-French style. Unless marked, it will be near impossible to attribute.
Think this thread a good example of how the art movements were fluid and not produced in a vacuum. Sometimes it is difficult to say exactly which...
Seems that Any Jewelry and I are thinking along the same line. Had not seen her post before posting mine. The examples posted are stunning and...
Nice window. Would say more nouveau than deco. Have never heard the term Amsterdamse school but, having been there, wonder if it is more like...
Mid century modern for sure. I am leaning more to 50s-60s than the 40s. Nicer design than you see on much of this "pickled" finish stuff (also...
Believe this to be a fairly modern piece. Consequently, no where near the value of what you paid in today's market. As spring said above, also...

Agree that if there are rotary saw marks this could not be earlier than mid-19th century. However, I am not seeing any. What am I missing? The...
Ditto all of the above ;)
Nice find by the way!
Here is a bit of history about the pottery making of the pueblos. https://kinggalleries.com/san-ildefonso-pottery-innovators/
It is san Ildefonso Pueblo Native American pottery. It is the famous black on black pottery from the region which includes the possibly better...
First is definitely Ming. Not so sure about second but as noted, if has some blue shading, is probably mulberry. Some of the earlier Persian...
Might is say FOREIGN? Pottery looks Bulgarian.
50s -60s American version of French Provincial.
Not sure what else you want to know. You already know more about them than 90% of the furniture that comes our way.
