Beautiful Vanity/Desk

Category
Furniture
Condition
Good
Description

Our family recently inherited this beautiful vanity/desk from my mother-in-law. It belonged to her parents and we know it was in the family as far back as the 1970s. We are wondering if it could be an antique and if so, we would like to know more about it's history and value. As you can see from the pictures, it is in good condition. The back side has some stenciled markings, but nothing indicating a manufacturer. We do see some holes where a mirror was perhaps once attached. The middle drawer has an interesting interior box with a hinged lid and a round recessed pull tab to open it. The upper right side drawer pulls out to reveal a second smaller hidden drawer behind it. The carvings appear to be hand-carved, but the dove-tailed joints are probably machine made. There are hardly any screws in the entire piece. We do see a few staples holding the back on. The entire desk is solid wood and very heavy, with a beautiful shimmery grain.

Description

The Louis Vuitton purse in these pictures has not ever been used. I believe the name of the purse is Louis Vuitton Monogram Popincourt Long. The purse was given to me a few years ago. I looked at the same purse online on other websites it was sold at $1049.00.

Vintage Black Karakul/Astrakhan Fur/Persian Lamb Muff

Category
Vintage Textiles and Clothing
Condition
Good
Description

This is a vintage black Karakul/Persian lamb/Astrakhan fur muff. Has a slight bow shape.

It has an inner zipped pocket so could be used as hands warmer and/or small purse.

Has ribbons to attach it to an arm in order not to loose it.

The back is lined with black satin, folded and cross-stitched in pattern that reminds the fur.

The hardware is of gold-tone, the ring is marked KOVER ZIP (can be seen with a magnifying glass). Some tear on the metal plating.

This marking can be associated with hardware producer Waldes that operated in Europe and the US in 1940s-50s. 

There is a dry cleaning tag attached to the item, bought it like this. Written Sable on it, think this is a mistake. 

The fur is in great condition: no shedding, no discoloration. One ribbon is opened a bit on the edge, could be sewn. Inside the muff is also very clean. Well preserved item, given the age.
