Would anyone be able to help me date these Chippendale end tables? My mother recently passed away and I chose these tables and a few more pieces...
She does look sweet! How tall is she? Are there any markings on her body? Sometimes it's at the back of the neck or further down.
I agree with blooey that a museum would be the best resource. I do hope you will share the results when you learn more about it, I think the piece...
Thank you :) We did not bring any with her but we think we will put some of her tiny china head dolls in a shadowbox. I've found some really...
Thank you :) I do wish we had members to rely on. The older members in her club are in their 80s and 90s. The younger members are only interested...

Thank you! Yes, she collected slowly over the years. Most were souvenirs from traveling. She never could resist an antique store. She wore many,...
[ATTACH] I'd like to share my mother's cameo collection, or at least part of it. There's another box full somewhere. My favorite is the tiniest...
Thank you all for your warm welcome!
Thank you all for your help! I get the impression I shouldn't sell them for 20 bucks each. Greg, it's nice to know you had one so large, I'll bet...
Hi, I'm new! I'm here because I'm trying to learn more about the beautiful things my mother collected for several decades. I've browsed your...
