Found this unique piece at a flea market about 30 some years ago but the person didn't know what it was. I used it as an ice bucket then for potpourri as it shows in the picture. I just found out what it was but now would like to know more and if it is Chinese as I was told. The top is missing the insulation inside but other than that it is in very good condition. There are rams heads on each side of the handles but not sure what any other of the engravings mean. It looks bronze but I'm not experienced with metals.
Wood frame around mirror with B and R etched in glass. Screw holes at top center and bottom center. Back has 2 metal bars to keep glass secure. Also on the back is the original cloth, cut from the wall covering of the railway car.
This chair was stored since 1972 in a garage. All the porcelin seems to be in excellent shape. All parts are still in tact. I dont know much about this chair and would like to find out if somebody can tell me a little more about it. Also looking to have it professionally restored. Hydrolics are in good working condition. I am told it is from the early 1900's but that comes from a source I am not to sure about.
