This chair was handed downin the family and to the best of my knowledge came from MN grandparents who must have had it in the early 1900's. Unsure if it's American or Eurpopean. 39" tall and seat is 20" diameter. Wood appears to be mahogany.
This is a glass dome immortellie globe - inside is a 12"tall green velour covered cross on a pyramid base - surrounde by glass beaded flowers with silver or pearl inserts for the blossoms - gold beads for the stamens - beaded flowers are cala lilys, hyacainths, baby's breath, clovers and others that i can't decide. Globe is 14" high x 12" dia - mounted on a 14" turned rosewood base.
I have posted pictures of my cedar chest. It is on wooden wheels, has two brass strips on each side of the outter lid with brass tacks and a brass plate on the front of the chest with a circular key spot above it (size of dime?)
These 2 plaques have been in the famly since I can remember. I am now 43. When my mom passed away my sister and I found these wrapped up. Almost threw them away until a part of the parchment paper on the back came off and saw the very faint name of "Dolles" on the back of the pictures, stamped on the canvas. Very hard to make out. I have searched everywhere online and cannot locate this artist or pictures.
Was unable to upload the 2 other pictures which included the images of the stamp of "Dolles" on the back of both pictures
