Two large (83" x 62") hook and loop tapestry/wall hangings of cranes and of a waterfall.

Category
Other
Condition
Mint
Description

These tapestries/wall hangings (of which there are three in total) are original art works made of wool yarn using the hook and loop method.  They are very large (83" x 62") and vibrant in color, composition, and texture.  They have simple wood frames.  They were probably crafted in the 1960's or 1970's.  One is a scene of cranes; the second is a waterfall and surrounding area; and the third, which is not shown,  is of Joshoa Tree (desert scene).

Silver Platter

Category
Metalware
Condition
Good
Description

The plate has a total of 6 compartments. one center round area with 5 kidney bean shaped sections around it. it is the size of a dinner plate and looks like it would have been used to maybe keep different items on your plate separated. Almost looks like a pickle tray but there are 8 of them. Below the Gorham emblem and number there is another symbol of a foot with wings, I looked this up and apparently it means it is from the year 1925.

Siam Bronze Flatware set of 144

Category
Other
Condition
Good
Description

this is a 144 piece set of flatware.  Could not find specific hallmarks, but after many hours of research, it is very similar to other bronze flatware sets.  The difference with this set is that it has a person riding an elephant.  other sets that I have found have either just an elephant(s) or a 'god'  for the pattern.  Would love to find out more information on this set, and a value as well.  Thanks!

Brass Bell Clock J.E. Caldwell

Category
Clocks
Condition
Fair
Description

I have an antique mantel clock manufactured by J.E. Caldwell. With the research I've done, it appears to be a very rare clock. I do not know much about how the clock works but the internal mechanism that allows the clock to function is no longer working based on observation.

The exterior is covered with different scenes and ornate designs. It has a Latin phrase cast into the bell, “SPIRITU TOU DOMINUS VOBISAUM". The dial apears to be porcelain and all the numbers are intact along with the hour/minute hands. J. E. Caldwell was a Venerable American silversmith from Philadelphia. In 1839, James Emmott Caldwell began to supply wealthy Philadelphians with stylish European jewelry, silver, and objets d'art. The movement is signed E.P. Paris.

I found the clock in my grandparents basement. Both are deceased and I can't find any connection as to where/when they purchased it. I plan on getting it appraised with a certified antique dealer/appraiser. I stumbled across this forum and decided to show others what I have and possibly find more info on it. If anyone has anything to share, please do!

Thank You!
