Beautiful brazilian rosewood table. The table top measures 49" X 29" and is attached to the base with wooden dowels, of which I only have two (out of four). The table top needs repair. This is a very sturdy, heavy table. My grandparents were Baptist Missionaries to Brazil in the early 1900s and when they retired in the 1960's this table came back to the states with them.
This is some type of serving set (tea?) handmade in Italy with this stamp - First Line: "C" Second Line: "HAND" Third Line: "MADE" Fourth Line: IN ITALY" Fifth: "FIORENTINE" This stamp is on the bottom of the large center chalice. There are five other chalices on the bottom level, with all but the center one having a gold metal bottom and handle. The center one has no bottom gold trim, but sits in the center golden metal holder. The bottom tray is made of some type of wood and is lined with an edge of gold colored metal. Unfortunately, the handle that would act as the "carrier" of this piece just broke off. You can see how it is being held in place in the photos. We know this has a long history in our family, however, we do not have any idea what it is, when it is from, where it is from, or what it is worth. We would GREATLY appreciate ANY information or feedback that anyone can give us.
