Was given by father inlaw. Was an antique collector. Dated 1713 made of pewter. The scene is a hunter and his dog. Inside is a medallion of a flower each foot has a Chereb. There is coat of arms on the front a set of three. Stands 11 inches high.
I am seeking an appraisal for an amazing Early 1800's mahogany Secretary that I wanted to take to the antiques roadshow tour here in KC this summer. It was owned by a Kansas City Socialite who had connections to MANY of the past founders of Kansas City. A complete catalog of city leaders she met and their newspaper clippings and personal correspondence They shared. Plus much more. This gorgeous piece is over 7 foot tall has never been refinished even has the original green felt In the desk. Handmade beautiful details and a style that is classic and not too busy. Take a look and let me know if you have a idea!
It is solid woods, tongue and groove construction.
There are three vanity pieces! All are cobalt blue in color, two are about six inches high and the other is around 4 inches. There is gold edging around each of the pieces. You can tell it is blown glass by looking at the bottom of each piece. I do not see any distinguishing marks. Also has the original powder puff. Any information will be helpful, value, age, name! Thank you...or even if its of no value, I still would like to know about it!
The maker's mark shows Ethan & Allen, Plant No. 18, 11-8165
When I got this the top of it was in bad shape. The folks left drinks on it that caused rings. I felt I needed to fix it to make it worth something again. So I sanded the top down to bare wood and sanded for hours and hours until it was smooth as a baby's bottom. I used a natural stain and then applied two coats of polyurethane with lite sanding in between coats with steel wool. I also had to add new knobs as the originals were broken and/or missing. I think it turned out great. I didn't touch anything else.
