New Dawn is 1930, so does that seem too young? Lovely rose - I wonder if yours was one of her ancestors, maybe.
Oh, and can you get some photos of the carcass and the drawer insides and base please?
It's a decent piece, but I honestly can't see what he was offering that much for. The only caveat is that perhaps he was convinced it was by a...
I'd keep them, but then, that's me. They're part of the history of the house, even if it's a replacement.

Maxx.
Try hypertufa.
I love camellias. They look delicate but are tough as old rope. Mine grow in massive ceramic tubs and flower profusely. As long as they're in acid...
Oh, and the veining is far too pronounced for hard evergreen camellia leaves. And don't forget the thorns, either.
Separate names with a comma.
