I have a Buddda Prayer Altar that is made of rosewood I am told.

This are popular in Chinese homes where people do have access to temples so they

have there own altar.  Some put a statue of Buddha in the center of the altar or a photo of a

deceased relative/s.  It has a cover that can be removed. 

The dimensions are 18H x 20W x 6D. 

I would appreiate your input.

Thanks

I am Looking for any information on this badge. Appears to be brass . Not sure of the age or use. Came from the East coast area here in the USA. If anyone has any information or would like to make an offer please contact me.

No information available. It's a very old high chair that has been in our family for over 60 years.

Wanting to know any infomation about how old this may be or what it would be worth. Hand carved plate of the famous scence of Jesus knocking at the door of peoples heart. Has a hand crafted nail and fabric on back. There are no marks or signatures. Was found in a church basement when having a yard sale. Any information is appreciated.

Was hoping if any one can tell me :

What is the dark spot on the side of the plate from?

Is there a way to tell how old the wood is by the lines?

What type of wood is this?

Beautiful old piece. Pitcher is approx. 10" tall by 9" wider from the handle to the spout.

The bowl(wash basin) is 13" across the top.

Pink roses with green leafs on the bowl and the pitcher. Gold is faded from age. Some discoloration due to age as well.

Slightly faded on the rim of the bowl, and gold on the rim of the pitcher as well as on the handle.

The bottom of the pitcher says 1896 and the bottom of the bowl has what looks like a leaf design.

Very nice set considering this is over 100 years old, I believe.

Has one crack, that was tried to be repaired, incorrectly by my mother.

Lovely set.
