    Hi, another thing I would love to know after my visit to the antiques market today is the origin, age, and style of these chairs. One has coins with Queen Elizabeth inserted - but I think they could be added later. received_475832906616565.jpeg received_599007540908090.jpeg received_1136431283194101.jpeg

    My total guess would be Ireland. Galway had a lot of Spanish influence, and these look a bit Spanish inspired, yet the horse heads, make me think Ireland.

    Thanks! I forgot to mention, the location of the market is Mexico

    They look like they were made for a theatre or movie production.
    Do you know which Queen Elizabeth, and which country?

    They looked like sovereigns to me, though very shiny so might be a copy
    The ones with young Elizabeth II

    The fact that they are in Mexico leads me to believe that they are Spanish colonial. I think they are more in the style, than period pieces. Could still have some good age to them but not several hundred years.

    Not sovs. I suspect big old pennies.

    That chair is on acid.

    They certainly do look like playhouse or movie set furniture, they don't look well made, but something made quickly for show.
