Picked this wire basket stand thing from the dumpster. Any idea of original purpose? What would you call it? It stands about 14" tall and is...
Agree with rather large snuff bottle. Asian in origin. Many reproductions in resin so, as Johnny suggests, some more pictures are in order.

This is a transitional piece between the Renaissance Revival style and the Eastlake. It has characteristics of both. This type of furniture...
I am seeing both old and new lumber in that drawer bottom. Either this was made of recycled lumber or there were repairs made at some point. My...
This potato brings up a very good point. If this were not by a famous photographer would this be worth anywhere near a million Euros? Of course...
