    Very nice, opoe.
    They could be Belgian. I think proper mid 19th century, what we would call Neogothiek, Gothic Revival.
    Gothic Revival in the low countries began in the 18th century, but only started to have real influence on design from ca. 1840.

    Hehe... even my neighbors in my appartment block do not know that I live in a palace...;)

    On stand nr 2 don't you think there are some stones missing? It does not really bother me though.

    Probably glass cabochons, like on #2. Doesn't bother me either, but you can get replacements for very little money.
