Very old pendant made between 1850 and 1900 showing a Roman/Greek woman painting. The woman is made from ivory (I think) and the background is an orange wax that glows and is transparent in the sunlight.
19th Century Terracotta diorama of the "Lion Monument", (Lowendenkmal in German) aka the "Lion of Lucerne" in Lucerne, Switzerland and is in good condition.
The frame itself is gold, is 10.25" in length, 1 inch in width and 9" in height. It's mounted on a black box 8" in length, 1 inch in width and 7" in height.
1st I have to say I really don't know much about furniture ..
So I found this chair ..
I liked the style .. then noticed the nail heads (which seemed old) and the price was right. : )
When I got it home I pulled the staples and fabric (pillow case) off the bottom (which I know someone added) .. to my surprise I found springs. + the wood I guess may be mahogany and the saw marks - I assume are from hand saws ..
This is a Japanese Imari style bowl that appears older than many we have seen locally. It has multiple base rings that we do not regularly see. It has flowers, trees, what appears to be fruit, scroll motifs and other design elements. We do not know what the inscription in the center states. it seems to be blue underglaze with iron red, orange, green and pale peach overglaze. The colors are very bright. There is no maker mark. The outer sides feature a very nice floral and leaf motif and there may be some inscription in the marks on the underside. It weighs 2 lb. 2 oz., measures 9-7/8 inches in diameter and is 2-1/2 inches tall. We would certainly appreciate any thoughts as to where made, maker, age/era, description of medium, value etc. Thank you for any feedback you can share.
