The ewer is porcelain and it was hand decorated. The form and decoration indicate it was manufactured sometime between 1900 to 1920 and possibly in England. Ewers were made in all countries which produced porcelain but without a mark, specific attribution to a particular region or company can't be pinpointed.
Black background with salmon background border of deep rose,cream, blue florals. The main body has a trellis design which is very pretty and laced with florals throughout.
Beautiful carvings, ornate details. Fabric is worn and needs reupholsery. I've seen similar furniture online, some claiming to date from the 1890's. Others have listed as reproductions from the 30-50's. I'm curious if I have an actual antique or a quality reproduction.
I've removed a corner of upholstery on the back of the chair, and it appears to be the original upholstery as there are no tack/staple holes except for the staples I pulled out, leading me to believe that it may well be a reproduction.
I'd love to know the value and/or origin and any other details one may have regarding this type of furniture. I'd also like to be able to tell people "oh, it's ___type______ furniture from ____ date __" rather than the vague answer I have for them now.
