It might be a copy, made as a souvenir of sorts after the President was murdered. I don't think the Lincoln set had initials on it.
Dunno if this is a boast or not, but I think I have nearly a roomful of 'em. If unused fabric counts anyway.
I have a hunch the repairs would cost as much as the box is worth restored. I'd probably keep it and put papers in it, in keeping with its...
I've run into similar things, but they were Italian religious jewelry. Those were enamel on copper. I'd bet this is on porcelain rather than...
Blinkin' Sherman. I haven't seen any in 10 years. I've never looked for a Firestone ashtray, but there's a buyer out there for it. The Sherman...
I like it the way it is now. Blue turquoise in gold has always looked a little off to me, but the green and the gold don't fight each other.
Seconded. The shade had a very different base originally. I'm seeing a chimney under the shade and a base that matches it.
I looks like variscite, but if a piece of turquoise is handled/mishandled over time it can turn green. It's a copper-bearing stone, and porous,...
Right after WWII they were still making Moderne pieces because they needed to make furniture but the designers had all been doing other work or...
My back windows used to look out on wetlands which couldn't be built on. Then the town got paid off to change the zoning and they put a street...
18th century English I can buy. The Prie-dieu pieces I know about are kneelers, not chairs, so that's as far as I'll go. Pretty awesome piece of...
It's definitely older just from the colors. I'll let the experts take it further. The blue inside usually tells me it's Chinese, but since the...
That would be my conclusion too. The Japanese set up a diesel dump in a fishing village and a Navy plane got a hit on it. A lot of fighters...
Chiming in late, but almost certainly amber. In its current state it's either a repair job or a mess-with-me.
I think it's only a piece of something else. Screw-threaded stopper for...something?
You did OK. :jawdrop::p:p:p
The mark on the cup itself looks all wrong. Not that I know jack about Russian marks, but I can't imagine the Faberge factory half-a**ing the job...
The brasses were likely imported from the UK or made to resemble some that were. Where the chest is from...no idea. I'll let the furniture guys...
I never wore either. French or otherwise.
As long as everything in the kitchen works, it's not the worst thing to happen. I've heard of kitchen guys running off with everything ripped out.
