I thought that was just shading, but now I’m not sure!
Does anyone recognize this person? With the motto “Honi soit qui mal y pense” circling her head I believe she’s royalty, but am not sure exactly...
Interesting! I’d assumed the elongated piece went forward, to protect the chair back from oils on the sitter’s head, but if that was true the...
Okay, somebody suggested I try searching with Google Lens, and it did turn up something very similar. What a great tool this app is! [IMG]
I’ve had this little sculpture for awhile. I believe it’s quite old, and carved out of travertine (Egyptian alabaster) but, otherwise, I know...
Great suggestion!
It’s about 2’ long, which doesn’t seem big enough to fit a love seat. I could be wrong!
An antimacassar it is! Many thanks for identifying it, Debora, and to Flipper for finding the photo of a similarly shaped example.
Many thanks for your replies. I’ve been Googling photos of all your suggestions and, if I find a good match, will post it here. In the meantime,...

This cast iron figure of a Revolutionary War-era British soldier was found in the basement of a very old house. With the flat spots and holes on...

Thank you, clutteredcloset49 and Rayo56.
Thanks, @daveydempsey. Of course, you could very well be right but, with the fitted box and stencilled name, my gut feeling has been that they’re...
I’d love to get some (any!) information about a set of dominoes that I have. As you will see in the pics, they are in a well-oxidized wood box...

I tried blowing into it, but nothing happened. Of course, I could have been doing it wrong!
I’m completely perplexed about what this item might be. It’s carved from a single piece of dark wood, is hollow, has one big hole and one smaller...
Separate names with a comma.
