I think about 1875 give or take and likely German in origin.
If newer, Italian is a very good bet.
Hadn't thought about them being upside down but you are probably right.
Thanks for the pics. Can't tell if the screw is covered over in the mold or if it is just painted over. Otherwise, this doesn't look like an...
Look to see how it is constructed. Plywood or particle board mean it is newer. A solid wood hand planed chamfered drawer bottom is a good sign,...
I did not look at your pics but this tells me that it is likely a reproduction. Many were made from casts of the original with the screw covered...
The back looks like it has been repaired with tape at some point. It has already lost any integrity it had. I would rip the center section off...
The style is more French but the inlay does look like it could be more Germanic. If seeing this without any information first, I might think...
Late 19th or early 20th century. Don't think the seat has been reversed but it was originally caned. Has had some bracing added as well....
This all seems to be British colonial with some age to it. This makes sense, given your location in Sri Lanka. Would think late 19th to early...
Buying is easy. Selling is hard. You need to focus on things people really want. This is where research comes in. Knowing more than the other...
English oak sideboard. I would think circa 1920 but some of the UK members might know better. Not too much value here in the States (couple...
This is an artist with a long if not stellar auction record. The most expensive results I found were two just over $500.00. These were for large...
Kind of comparing apples to oranges. Gilt bronze is not the same as brass. Quality is everything. Note the differences in the quality of the...
Agree brass. Maybe Italian. May have more luck looking for ewers as your key word.
Agree, platform rocker even though it may recline as well. Not a lot of value to these so modify if you need to.
Looks like this is a copy. The original is in the national portrait gallery. Scroll down a bit to see.........
I am finding values to 45K! I think you need to contact an auction house. Here are some sales from liveauctioneers....
Pics of the furniture are not good enough to tell much but appear to be Victorian. Looks like the crest is missing on one? If so, about all this...
Agree with 40s demi-lune. Wood looks like walnut. The only real way to reliably tighten this is to disassemble and re-glue.
Separate names with a comma.
