No idea what this is. Its jist always been in our family. Its like a big vase looking thing, very heavy. Intricate patterns. I remember my parents telling me when i was very little that the patterns were made with matchsticks. No idea worth or origin. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
I found this vanity brush and mirror set. The mirror is beveled but doesn’t seem very old..or it’s just in good shape? It seems to be some sort of wood or plaster with hand painted gold or gilding? The hand painted ship is raised and edged in gold gilding. I added more photos.
I inherited this collection from my nanny about 5 years ago and we are trying to identify the maker and date. The painting we believe is named The cherub and the three ladies while the pattern design is similar to the royal vienna style. There is a small blue crown mark on the bottom but have no luck identifying. All help is greatly appreciated!
Can you please help with identifying the era, type of wood and value of this piece. Or any other notable mentions. My neighbour purchased it 10 years ago from an auction.
