    IMG_4459.jpeg Hello, I'm new here, only getting involved to seek info on this shelf I have and am planning on selling soon as I'll be moving soon.

    The base measures 45" x 22.5" and it stand about 84" tall. I believe it's made from mostly teak wood and brass. It weighs several hundred pounds at least and has required multiple burly movers and a heavy duty dolly to move it in the past. It was purchased for around $700 in 2020-2021 and was passed down to me a couple years ago.

    It's riddled with imperfections; chips in the wood, corroded parts of brass, small missing details, etc... nothing that takes away from its aura but its old age and wear is definitely apparent. Theres no modern restorations, rotting wood or structural issues, no problem bearing heavy weight and it doesn't really creek when shook.

    The only identifiable marking I could find on it were the small circles and lines unevenly pressed into some of the flower shaped washers. I haven't been able to find any exact replicas on the internet so far, the only comp being listed on this high-end European furniture marketplace, Panomo (linked below) for several thousand dollars.

    This is very much not the same shelf as mine though, with a different base, a whole foot shorter, and only 3 shelfs instead of 4. And I am unclear how accurate the info on the Panomo listing is, saying it was manufactured in Italy but it's "Indian" styled, though I'm no expert.

    I have a lot more photos, of higher quality too if I can share if your interested, it's just been a hassle uploading photos on this website. I got a month and a half until I move and at this point in my life this shelf is way too big of a pain to move a foot to the left, let alone to across states so if you have any info on place of origin, value, or maybe who would be wiling to take it off my hands that would be great and if you have any questions or would like some more specific pictures taken please don't be shy.
