Well that took longer than I expected. The mannequin didn't work for either dress because neither one would go over the shoulders, so I hung them...
My wife has a mannequin I can put them on tomorrow, I'll take more pics. Glad you didn't ask me to try them on. Is there a non-destructive test to...
Or at least I hope I haven't. Clearly I need to go through all my old threads, and tag the stuff I've asked about already. Anyway... This is a...
SORRY! I start posting new stuff, then think I have so much old stuff that still needs investigating, that I didn't think it was possible for me...
Possible, I considered that, but I don't think so. For one thing I would have thought they would start with a better reproduction of the original...
That's the same diorama - you can tell by the non-straight hanging lamps.
True, crudeness of execution is almost never a good sign. I do think this was finished, though, due to the paint vestiges, yellow, red, black,...
I've had this for a while, and still clueless about where and when it might be from. My knee jerk is that it isn't Mexican/central american but...
This one is definitely not art deco, so not what I usually pick up. And carving seems a bit crude, or at least not finely polished like the deco...
OK, I do not collect women's clothing, and don't want to start. I need something new to collect like I need a hole in the head. My wife and...
For sure, the painting names I gave are his paintings that are being reproduced: see here for the originals:...
Fascinating, to me at least. I grew up as a kid going to some of the free concerts on the Cambridge Common that are mentioned, and Master Blaster...
Wow, that's it. So 19th or early 20th century reproductions of two famous 17th century works by Murillo: Two Boys Eating a Melon and Grapes, and...
I came across two of these paintings on tile in the same frames, same box that had the civil war yearbook. I took one of them out of the frame to...
Hell, yes, though he is actually class of 1861, not 62 according to his obituary. At his entry in the yearbook, there was his picture with his...
Wow, that sounds like a great start. I couldn't find an auctioneer in Bad Kissingen, at least these days. It sounds like it has been a resort town...
I didn't know they even had college yearbooks back then. Just like today, individual pics of each classmate, given to friends to sign. Just like...
Definitely later copies, not period mid 1700s. Looks either mahogany or stained to look like mahogany. I think 20th century, but not a factory...
Edwardian, aka early 20th century, seems about right. Looks more like oak to me, but you are in a better position to identify the wood from up...
Thanks for the thoughts. I try any new architectural antique place I find while traveling, but I’ve been doing minimal traveling since covid....
