I think I posted clock photos ages ago, but hang on..... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
If that's one of those push clasps, then 20s or 30s. How long is it?
If that is an anchor to the right of the CCM, although it's not clear, then Birmingham. Very new. The value will be in its weight.
It's recent. The lobster claw clasp is generally after 1990 or so. You have what is called a common control mark hallmark, and those post date...
I did that with my Pa's clock. Had it restored by someone who was seriously good. And seriously expensive. Worth it.
That crack looks organic to me, not the way celluloid shears. The darkening isn't right for celluloid either.
Yup, as with terms like Murano. ;)
I do associate that amount of gilding with lesser age. It's very nicely done. 20s would make sense.
They may be bovine, rather than elephant, although the older ones are usually elephant. I've seen a fair few of these carved ones.
I think I've seen these with made in Taiwan stickers. They're very well done, 80s ish.
Ivory. I'd think from India.
Ash is feasible - I'd not spotted the back, it does look like a heavy good quality ply.
Given it says Russia, it's later.
Those push up sticks may well be Georgian. 19th C chamberstick and also snuffing scissors.
And me, and that would be a way more probable wood.
I'd agree not a drinks cabinet, the insides would be much better made. I'm still veering to wireless.
I suspect these are later copies, mid to late 19th. Nice ones.
Colour looks way too golden yellow on my screen, but hey.
Hm. I think that's a fair bit, but if you like it and will wear it, why not!
I think it has a good chance of it. I just love the colour. How much are they asking?
Separate names with a comma.
