[QUOTE="Beasley Mary, post: 835346, member: 11525"]Hello friends! In the non-profit thrift shop where I volunteer, I saw this on the housewares shelf for $8.00 and grabbed it to reprice it! I recognize it as French Ormolu. I have priced an 1840 French Ormolu Pocket watch casket in the past and sold it before I could put it in the case! Christie’s describes the cut as wreath cut crystal. I don’t know why! I can not find a good research page to research the age nor can I find one just like it. Dimensions:3-1/2” tall. 4-1/4” wide. 2-3/4” deep Can you help me with the age [ATTACH=full]194517[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]194518[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]194519[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]194520[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]194521[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]194523[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]194524[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]194522[/ATTACH] Just for grins, here is the 1840’s(?) pocket watch casket I sold for $90.
