I always enjoy when the chatgpt bots use that weird double-space period/comma. Makes 'em easier to disregard.
UGH! We were killing them regularly, but once you see them you know they've already chewed something up to get to that stage. I haven't seen any...
I distinctly remember the last jar he opened, he very sweetly told me he was certain it was loosened and he could feel that. I love him deeply for...
Could you try taking some photos that are well-lit, in focus and closer to it? The second image in particular is very dark and blurred so it's...
Maybe it did. In my household I just resign myself to watching my husband very easily open something I was red-faced and cussin' at. :rage:...
Thank you! :joyful: The carving was done and signed by Lamant. I love the details he put into things like the swags, the tiny toes and the fat...
Found numerous great things but if we're calling top favorites then this is going to be the Oops, All Cameos post. :hilarious: It was an extremely...

Agreed on flower frog. I bet he's quite cute when surrounded by blooms.
This piece has two frames so what you call a bezel is just the inner frame. You don't say the size, but it's not standard so I'm going to guess...
If it's damaged, then it's probably worth scrap as these type are difficult to repair. You can get an idea of worth by weighing it and looking up...
That explains some things. Looking at your video past all the crud, at some point this person had decent money for good things. I hope you find...
Third vote for immediate thought of "that's a coat hook." A hook for stuff of some kind anyway.
Agreed with sabre, many paintings do get mounted under glass --typically pieces on paper. Board or canvas usually are not. There are of course...
Aah the scratched name is just part of it's history now. ;) Sometimes silver can tarnish to a bit of a yellow look. You can see if it buffs up...

Separate names with a comma.
