6 arm Hand carried from Verona Italy in the 50's appears to be a brass with very delicute capodimonte Italian Porcelain Chandelier. Double sided rosettes in the arms and on four sides of the interior center. Purchased from the original owner that brought it to the US.
This is a American ? antique cedar chest (with arm rails) that is made out of solid cedar with hand hammered copper strapping that stands on castors . No maker markings that ive found. The trunk is a total of 29in tall, 49.5in long, 19in deep, and 23in wide if measuring from its widest points.front lock plate is gone. Needs cleaned off but I want It done correctly so I won't be attempting it! On the bottom are some added boards someone must have added after for reinforcement (pictured) but look to be of the same time frame I'm thinking this was made.....assuming early 1900s. Found ONE very similar on http://www.mrbeasleys.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=3470
REALLY interested in its history, origin, and of course value!
Ceramic bowl. Blue with green 3D dragon. Bowl appears to have been made in China and includes the following markings on the base: A3 B15. Bowl is approximately 7.5" in diameter and 5" high. Interior has no design or markings; light grey in color.
This is a 3 piece set, the first one has two drawers on the bottom and 3 slide out drawers on the top, the second one has two huge drawers and both have very intricate detailed cuts on the wood along the sides and top. On the handles which are rings are ornaments of early century women. The 3rd piece is a hutch type to hang clothes like a closet. All 3 pieces are very heavy made of strong wood and varnished, very classy looking. The dressers belonged originally to my great aunt who came from the old country as we call it (Syria) and always purchased very nice furniture then she passed it on to my aunt who has also since passed a couple of years ago and left it to me. So I believe the dresser has to be at least 60-70 years old without a doubt. It was made by a company called Montour Furniture Company and I believe may have been purchased during the late 1930's to early 1940's. I have done some research on the company but cant figure out if they are still around or not? I would appreciate your opinion on what you think that the value of these beautiful antique dressers may be worth? Thank you, Christine Rivera
