It' seems to me someone sanded and/or stained
This piece I would call blonde..
All interior is the darker mahogany color of all other models I've seen online but I love the blonde/lighter coloring.. this works.. I have several records for this item all in awesome condition considering their age.. and all play..
Having a hard time pinning a good $ down as I run into several sites saying it's one model or a completely different model . So I appreciate the help with an appraisal please
I don't know much about this piece other than it's been in my mother's collection form as long as I can remember. It is solid wood with a bunch of decorative wooden parts cold parts carved on the doors and the back.. It is very heavy it doesn't have any manufacturers marks that I can tell.
This came from my great grandparents who emigrated to America in 1923.
Just looking for more info and ball park figure if possible.
Picture on cup is the design!
Thanks so much to everyone!
PS The following email was received from Limoges when inquiring about this set:
Look for a mark in red or green. The Bawo & Dotter company of New York established a manufacturing facility in Limoges, France, called Elite Works. That factory began producing porcelain in 1892 with the mark "Elite France" and later "Elite Works France." Some Elite Works collectibles can be dated by the colour of the mark. Between 1900 and 1914 the company marked items in red and between 1920 and 1932 the company used green to mark the pieces it manufactured.
