It’s great to have that. To be clear, your provenance starts with a letter from Winterthur museum using a picture to identify your chest as being...
This isn’t research, it is from decades of experience with antiques. There are many good books available to learn from, and because antique...
OK, good, now we are getting somewhere. These are much more useful pics. And indeed, this clearly shows those elusive dovetails! Based on these...
Good point, if glass has solid bottom then it wouldn’t need it on base. I’ll correct.
Agree with Davey, 20th century made but in much earlier style.
Now I see what you’re saying, glass vessel with solid bottom so no solid bottom needed on base. But it does look to me like OP “blobs of lead for...
I’m not interested in a pissing contest. I was NOT being sarcastic or trying to attack you. I simply don’t see an authentic piece of antique...
Heck, takes a lot more than that to make me even borderline angry. I thought you were looking for opinions and advice, but it seems you think you...
Sorry, reality check. Does someone really think this looks to have been made in the 1600’s? As always, the pictures are way inadequate. Where are...

If you’re buying it to keep it and sit on it, then it is worth $80. If you are buying to resell it depends on your sales venue, but probably not.
First of all, slow WAY down. Congratulate yourself for taking them off the market without selling. Now take the time to do some research. These...
Thank you, Debora, quite right, and not Yosemite. Looks like a glacial valley? in the Alps maybe? Pretty sure framed in the US and quite some time...
Have had this large format photo print mounted on cardboard for several years and never researched it. Have not removed from frame. I tried to...
Antique brass (andirons, candlesticks) has been duplicated since first made. To distinguish antiques from repro requires looking closely at...
I don’t know where your example is from? I find it best to go to reliable sources. Museum collections are best, but don’t always have examples of...
