Except puffy people paintings, preferably on black velvet?
Worse, even I recognize this image. It's not a Roybal, it's a Homegoods!
It looks like a piece leftover from 1890s-1910s furniture.
I think the beads are glass too.
Those filigree pieces are one of the things I hoard. (LOL) When looking at the jewelry the rhodium plating color can make a difference, and the...
That's not a horse, it's a house!
That sounds about right. I have my grandmother's here, costume naturally, and I think it has that sort of clasp on it. She was one of 11 kids;...

Wouldn't know what to do with them if I had them, but if all else fails there are crafters out there who'd be all over them.
You can see my carpet in most rooms and there's no stuff on the beds. The spare room futon is under three feet of fabric but.... :cat::cat::cat:
I generally want to scream at people who paint perfectly good antique furniture. That said, factory production 1930s and later pieces with...
Separate names with a comma.
