Modernish silverplate copy of a Victorian cruet stand.
There was a bit of fad for miniature bibles around that time, often with silver covers. I have never seen a chained bible with lectern, though. A...

I'd title it 'Family Life' and hang it in the shed. Proably came from an art therapy class at a local asylum.
I picked up one for about £15 like new at a local general auction. It was a grinder both ends but it was easy enough to get a buffing wheel and...
New silver prices are a joke, or a conspiracy against the public. I'd simply polish them up by hand. Not everyone likes ultra shiny silver. The...
I think it is a late 17th. C to mid or late 18th C chest that has been extensively renovated and altered in the 19th C. This is not unusual. I...

I suspect it is Euripean and silver gilt. 835 is not a regular fraction for gold, it would be finer than 18 Carat which is unlikely and would feel...
I find the marks too blurred (out of focus) to see anything useful. Do you have a macro (close-up) facility on your camera, usually indicated by a...
That site shows the enormous gulf between new and used silver prices. Their 3 inch dish at £125 new would be unlikely to fetch more than £25 at...
