Hello, I found this locally at an estate sale in Illinois. It is solid brass and the wood is original finish. Has a horse head ornament on top. I have no idea what I’m looking at or if there is even an interest in these things. Thanks for any insight you can give!
I don't know much about it, but from what I looked up by images, it seems like Murano vase. There is no mark on the bottom and it's about 6 inches tall and heavy. No chips or cracks.
Hi there! This belonged to my mother's grandmother, which situates it in the early 1900s, and that's literally all we know about it. A jeweller wouldn't appraise it because it's a glass gem, but it's a beautiful antique and I'd love to know more about it. I can find no stamps anywhere on the metal.
A central cushion-cut purple "gem" about 3x2.5cm is flanked by two hexagonal "gems" 8mm wide. The four silver links on either side of the central gems are embossed. The remaining chain is alternate "link" and "chain" links.
