Can anyone identify any of these antiques?

Hey everyone,
I am fairly new to antiques and still learning how to identify or distinguish one from another. I know the photos are quite blurry, but anything here that anyone may know a bit about what it is? Thank you in advance!

 

Welcome!!
That is quite a range of very cool items.
This forum is a good place to start. I would also suggest separating them into categories. For example there are forums for:
- Art
- Furniture
- Pottery, Glass and Porcelain
It is a bit more work, but it will help focus the discussions.
There also might be more questions on marks, tags, close up of a signature, size ... to help give you better information about your items.

 

Thank you so much! That's a great idea! Wish I had the items with me personally but these were just photos sent and I get to choose what I would like. I just need to learn more about them. Going to try out your suggestions to get greater ideas!

 

Choose what you would like? Oh, you lucky girl!

The bronze female torso in the 1st pic would be the 1st thing Id grab.Then the wooden tea caddies.2nd pic Id grab that portrait of the gentleman,and the landscape.3rd pic id grab that brass thing,wich I suspect has a drink set inside.4th pic Id grab the glass lion and the figurine. Lots of lovely stuff there,but Im just basing my choices on what catches my eye. The blue willow is nice,but theres a LOT of it out there.

 

I'd investigate the James Dean photograph.

That photo of James Dean in a striped top is nice. It seems out of place. As Debora said, I'd investigate it. Signed?

 

Yes, indeed! Choose what I like and he'll negotiate ! He lives out of the country so I was aiming for things easier to ship out if possible

 

Funny how everything you mentioned also grabbed my attention.. the torso, glass lion, brass thingy (that's one thing I really want to figure out what it is, looks so nice!) .. That's true about the blue willow, that's why I was thinking of getting something a little rare if anything.

 

Good one, that sure is a nice photo! I'd have to ask if it is signed!

 

Ah, a price tag on everything. And all bought sight unseen? The James Dean is a 1955 photograph by Sanford Roth by way.

Thank you for that info! I was looking for who the photographer was. I'm going to get better photos soon and live videos, but pretty much yeah I can't see it personally since I don't have any travel plans, wish I was able to though.. I enjoy hearing the history and stories about the things people collect and why

 

I like that mirror. Some of the glass looks interesting.

 

Not all of that is Blue Willow
Nice multi chrome 1800s


Flow Blue 1800s - White figurine might be good as well.


If you look closely you can see white through the holes. I don't think it is anything more than a lantern. Maybe not that old -mid 1900s.


Last picture.
Top right goose girl might be LLadro.
Bottom platter, is Chinese export ware from the 1800s. The one above it may be as well.

 

Oh and the landscape in the second row - all you can see is the cows.
Johnny's right Grab that one!

 

Wow thank you so much for all that! I'm taking notes! You guys are all amazing at this, great eyes and knowledge ! I really want a close up of that white figurine and the landscape frame!
I searched "Brass mococcan lantern antique" and a lot of similar ones came out so that may just be it.

 

I'm intrigued by her too! Definitely will ask for clear photos

 

"White figurine" is The Dying Gaul. Sure to be lots of reproductions out there, some of greater and some of lesser value.

Thank you Debora! I'll take a note of that, it's great to know this one has been id'd, I kept searching for "white figurine man lying down" I wasn't getting anywhere lol
