I think this may be English. The closest hallmark I found was from John Round of Sheffield or Chester, but it's not a perfect match. I see no silver mark, so I'm thinking it may be silver plate.
A medallion of a man riding a horse with big letters "SIR GALAHAD" underneath. The necklace is a swirl design with flowers in the middle of each chain (no design is the same). The necklace was hand forged due the fact you can see see chisel marks (especially in the name). If someone is interested in telling me what this is i will definitely post pictures. So far research a lot and came up with absolutely nothing to do with this piece. No information at all. Please help, i am very interested in this piece.
I have a large service including plates, cups saucers bowls pitchers which was given to me by my grandmother years ago. somewhere there is a receipt for $900 date late 1970's or even early 80's and something about it belonging to an ambassador of brazil or his or her daughter... any help appreciated!
I have two of these framed brass tomb rubbings. I am told they are from 1920's and rubebd from a cathederal in England. My very preliminary searches have shown that rubbings were outlawed many years ago ue to them defacing the original crypt plates making them of significant value. I cannot locate any in the north east Floria region. I am not sure if it is lack of interest or lack of items. I have a matching set of a "knight" and a "lady". I have uploaded the picture of the lady one only. The rubbing is on one sheet of parchment, cut out VERY cleanly and placed onto a mat type sheet. There is no tape or glue and look as though they were professionally framed some time ago. The glass lookes to be an older type of glass.
the painting looks in beautiful condition to me, but the silk it is on is cracked all around the painted figure. Then there is the bottom section which my grandmother patched herself! She said when she found the painting in a drawer it was too fragile to lift, so she brought it to a framer in the drawer. I don't think she ever had it appraised, and the framing does not look like great quality. The colors are very vivid.
