Lol yeah, agreed. I used to be just fine when I stuck to jewelry, then I got addicted to furniture, grandfather clocks, and rugs. Good to be...
So modern repro probably :( Normally I'd still buy it but I have literally no space left in my apartment... Not sure. What would you do?
Do you think it can still be antique though, or might be a newer reproduction in the style of neo classical furniture?
Lol yeah, that was a red flag to me.
I'm thinking about buying this console table for $110. The style is neo classical, but I feel like the carving style of the eagle is slightly...
My black light finally arrived today. The butterscotch-colored turns an opaque yellowish color under the UV light, with the light reflecting...
Found these two necklaces at two separate consignment stores today. The cherry one was $6.50 and the amber (or bakelite?) one was $14.50. I think...

Agreed. It seems like an intentional choice to me, almost whimsical. Could they be older (or meant to mimic older ones?)
Hey everyone! I bought this box from a French seller a while back ($2000 covid splurge lol). He said that his father acquired it at a Paris...
:( I have to wonder too. I like to think that the torah scrolls these were associated with, ended up either with their original worshippers or...
:happy: A good price, but I plan to keep mine since I'm Jewish.
Purchased this unusual disc at a flea market today for 8 euros. It caught my eye because I've never seen anything like it. It's probably about 6-7...
