The Elephant was brought back from India in the late 1800's. It is hand carved from Ebony wood with a pure silver overlay. One tusk is broken off as well as one ear cover

There is a pink stone on the front.

I have been told that inside the statue on top, which is suposed to be Ivory or gold, is a piece of Budda's fingernail or a fragment of his robe? I would love if somebody out there could tell me more about this item. Thanks to all.

Beautiful velvet and no screws all dowels. Unusual thin and high back. I believe it was used in a church and it looks to be German but I could be wrong.

Found this behind an old mirror I bought at a thrift store in Idaho

 The bedroom suite was originally purchased in the 1930s or 1940s by a friend of my grandmother and was bequeathed to her.

I found this settee on a site on the internet. The lady that sold it to me said she thought is was from the 1900's. It has original fabric, nails, springs, padding, etc... The padding or foam is drying and falling out. The springs are in good condition and the wood has some scratches on the legs.
