This piece has been in the family from new it was made for the grandmother from a company called Honderich, we have the original markings on the chest never taken off as you will see in the photo, there is an original catalog, showing the availible models from Honderich in 1954, 1955. Since there is a marking on the bottom as well as the picture matches we are confident that this is a NO.F7 Swirl Mahogany 44 3/4 " x 19 1/4" -- 27 1/2" High. Serpentine front. Four-way matched up top , one drawer (bottom). It is cedar lined, and has always resided in a bedroom enivronment main level (not basement) . Honderich Furniture Company Limited resided in Milverton, Ontario Canada.
I don't know if it is water color or what. it is a floral painting, they look like a flower on a lilly pad im not sure. there is all kids of blues and pinks. and it looks like it was painted on a canvas.
This is a beautiful antique handpainted plate. It is large and heavy with very detailed artwork. It has four people in the center of the plate. Two females appear to be bowing to the two other people. They appear to be in a gated tiled courtyard. The outer edge of the plate has very detailed flowers and what appears to be bees. There is a scroll. There is also fruit. It has very vibrant colors.
I am seeking information on 2 art prints. I purchased them together this weekend at a flea market.
1st is a painting of Saint Petersburg by Giovani Sodoma that I believe was photographed by Edizioni Brogi. At the bottom it reads: 2191. FIRENZA - Galleria Uffizi - San Sebastiano martirizzato ; Giov. Antonio Sodoma Edizioni Brogi.
2nd one reads at the bottom: 2566. Roma _ Vaticano _ Genio di Prassitele
After a little internet research I think they could be albumen prints.Both were printed on thin paper and have identical cardboard mounting. They measure approx. 11" x 14" ( 8" x 10" not including mounting.) I am lost in a sea of information and appreciate any input or information you can give. Thanks for looking!
