Looks new to me too. It wasn't made to fool anyone.
Chinese dragons like this are part of a big New Year's party. Of course he wanted it!
I can totally see that "kachina" as the coffee table in a high-style MCM living room, but Native American it ain't. The rug is a rug from some...
There's a rose emblem on the door of the car. Something to do with the Rose Bowl Parade maybe?
Pick some you like and that hold what you need them to. I have one of those armoires, but it's too small for my hoard.
I'm more the clear craft box type. Keeps things in their lanes and you can see everything. They're no good for neck rings and the like, but are...
That's probably why I thought Israeli; the cross-hatching too. Didn't even think of a menorah (7-branch sort).

I'm no expert, but they're not 1950s Italian anyway. Not my thing either.
It depends on where you live, whether it can be sold or not. There are also ways around the law since it's a vintage piece and the elephant would...
If she's a cheapskate like me we'll get to see a lot more of it. I'd bet money that the ivory-looking necklace is ivory and the pearl-looking one...
It's not common here; maybe this was made for export to the UK. It's unlikely to be a fake; they generally don't fake a maker's mark from a...

Separate names with a comma.
