Wow 600 euros...on sale from 800?? I think I paid $30. I’m thinking these are probably reproductions but I’ve never heard of this historic figure...
This oval, bronze plaque commemorates Gian Galeazzo Visconti* It measures roughly 4x7 inches and has the figure’s image in high relief surrounded...
I found a little more information! My original thought was it was some sort of candle thing but down in the very bottom of the horn I found a...
Careful above the fireplace mantel, too! I had an abstract oil painting with some thick base underpainting get runny and spill down the frame. I...
I have no idea what this is! It measures about 6.75 inches tall and the bell is just under 3” at the widest flare. It has a fine chain with a...
This was described as silverplate. However, despite extensive polishing wear there is no burn through. The spoon has a couple hallmarks that are...

I picked up a 3-foot statue of a Roman soldier at a swap meet that we thought was painted concrete. The seller helped out with the loading as they...

I found this and thought it would make a nice accessory table to a gaming table I found earlier. It's in the same swan motif and the drawers could...
I am thinking this is French Empire, mahogany with a solid marble top. It might be a reproduction but I haven't been able to find others. The dogs...
