They also came from Belgium.
Not a lot either way, I suspect, it's not showy enough. I'd pay up to ten quid if I were keeping it.
Photos of the inside, please and the zip if you can get the seller to send them. Looks either just post WW2 if it has a zip, or 1930s if not.
Kashmir, isn't it? Or Afghan?

Turtle is a little 1980s costume piece, I've had one. Not worth a great deal, but pretty and people collect turtles.
I'd quite like to have Aragorn, let alone the pendant. ;)
I'd be wary. That's expensive for Bretby and the bookends worry me.

Spades have tails. Yes, hearts were a big thing here.
@Marko . It's hobbitses. As I said, not old: it's a replica of the brooch given by Galadriel to the Fellowship of the Ring. I didn't buy one,...
That's the pre WW2 mark. May not have had a pattern name.
The spindles on house stairs round here have upside down hearts. 1920s built.

Ah, but @Marko do you know its significance? ;)

Ta! What sort of age do we think? The seller thought they were plate, I'd spotted the 800. ;)
Silver tongs with a double head eagle. The only mark is 800. German, do we think, or Austrian? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Japanese oxblood aka sang de boeuf. Not sure who.
What a nice thing. If I saw it my side of the pond, I'd think late 18th into very early 19th.
