I don't know. To me this looks completely utilitarian - a simple shelf in a simple house to hold simple belongings. I see what look like modern...
The pits and scratching plus overall appearance lead me to believe that it is carved soapstone. There are a couple similar on ebay, one diff color...
Nice pictures. First the secondary wood looks like oak so made in Europe makes sense. The relatively thick (but not real thick) case wood and...
I agree. Could be other middle eastern or asian source, but 20th century made in India seems likely.
The numbers look 20th century to me. I had a very nice inlay table in French style that looked good from the top but was clearly 20th century...
Part of the variation in price is due to how realistic the expectations of the sellers is. Look at completed auctions to get a better sense for...
Late Victorian, Eastlake mirror, late 1800's. I like them but there are a fair number of them kicking around so prices aren't usually too high.
Excellent. So have you contacted Hannam's Auction (not a name I recognize here in the US) to see whether they are interested, and what they would...
You didn’t answer those of us who asked which international auction house had something similar, and whether you have contacted them?
I may have missed it, but don’t see anything similar having sold at Christie’s. Maybe this simply isn’t something they think they can sell. Plus...
Doesn't look right for a period piece. I'm not bothered by the missing veneer except it looks too thin which indicates it is mid 19th century or...
I never bought anything from them, didn't know about them until a few months ago. Found a local estate sale of theirs (a mile from me) with some...
(You meant 1766). Here's another one dated 1710:...
This is all 16th and 17th century with provenance. The stuff I've seen here is all 19th and 20th, so there is a huge difference.
Here's one that sold on ebay that looks quite similar, including the base. Did you look inside the candle cup to see if you have a marking there...
I don't seek out and have only a few antique bottles, but the mouth shape, bottom (no pontil), overall shape and lack of clarity do not look...
Me too please. I love new reference books.
No, nothing at the auction, I was only there for the preview the day before (and flew out before the auction started the next day.) I didn't know...
I'd never been to Sweden before (though I have Swedish and Norwegian heritage - one of my grandparents from each), but my daughter was there for a...
No, unfortunately it is pythons, another sad case of our messing up our only planet:...
