Hi I my name Dennis and im looking for some insight on an item me and my wife purchased.We have what is most often referred to as the" libation cup of Gudea".It was purchased as part of an estate with many Egyptian antiquities. We have searched for weeks on information and can only trace this piece to the Louvre museum in Paris from an article in 1999. Im sure this would be a reproduction but i cant find it anywhere on the net. our piece appears to made of soapstone as the original states.http://www.mazzaroth.com/ChapterThree/TowerOfBabel.htm that image is exact to ours. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We would like to know if this piece is still in the Louvre and it was replicated in soapstone the link is for the one in the Louvre
I bought this at the thrift store and paid 8 bucks for it. it's missing the basin and pitcher and the two pegs at the back to hold the towl racks. it's 22W x 20 D 1/4 x 52 T.
This table has 3 sides and the corners are squared, each corner measures 23 INCHES and it's 16 1/2 TALL. It's stamped underneath SPRAGUE & CARLETON, MARKERS of FINE FURNITURE, KEENE NEW HAMPSHIRE 03431. It also has 21-1077-02 2051. Each leg has a metal tip on the end that touches the floor. Table is balanced, sturdy and very heavy. I've looked up lots of information on this table and was told it's one of their Rare tables.
Will consider 800.00 and will consider Offers too.
