    Hi everyone x xx

    What are these?
    Not sure at all that they are old.
    Just curious why someone would shadow box them?

    Thanks everyone x x
    Don't know if this helps but the oxes are the same size,eight and a half inces across and the same down. The thing that's not red is approx an inch and a half both ways and the red one the same xx

    Those are decorative pieces from Home Goods or such. One a seal, one a coin. Chinese imports and recent.

    The coins are Chinese "Cash" coins, very common.

    Home Goods is part of the TJX conglomerate of "off price" stores, also including Marshall's and TJMaxx. I wouldn't buy "art" there myself, but they do carry "overstock" and "last season" brand name and luxury store items at good prices. I got a Saks Fifth Avenue cashmere scarf for only $29.99 yesterday at my local Marshall's. At Home Goods I've gotten Wusthof knives and Cuisinart cookware cheap and very nice bed linens too!

    Is Homesense also in Canada? I remember going to something like that in the Vancouver area a few years ago while visiting friends.
