This piece has wooden gears and either Aztec or Mayan hieroglyphs and a Mayan or Aztec plastic figurine at center of upper portion and large gears at center of lower portion with two hanging iron or metal ball pendulums. One small and one large pendulum. It appears to be a clock, but could be a toy.
Need help in identifying exactly what it is and what it would be called. Also would like to determine estimated age and value.
A very interesting combination.As you can see its a little bit of everything.Its got Bridgewater styling with English features and a curved or Serpentine seat.Its on wheels and was recovered in this velvet material in 1971.Theres a whole other sofa underneath this material and when i put my hand under it i feel all kinds of metal straps not springs.It was well taken care of and is in great shape but i don't know what to do with it its in the movers box truck now and i'm thinking about tearing this fabric off to find out if whats underneath it is valuable.The color is Gold as in the one side picture not off green as some look.If anyone knows what this is i'd appreciate it.
