My Great Grandmother passed away a couple years back, and her house was abandoned (She lives in Mississippi, off of the beaten path.) Many members of her family have gone through and removed any valuables or items of personal value. My Grandfather found this in her house and recalled he and his brother used it when they were small children. My mother then gave it to me for my boys to use. I do not want to sell this item, but I was curious, considering its age and condition what the value of such an item might be. Your time is greatly appreciated.
I have attached five photos. (1) The front, (2) Right Side (3) The Back, (4) Left Side, and (5) The Bottom.
Le Mieux vanity set we believe it was made in France. We are thinking that it must have been made in the early 1900's. Must be rare because information about this item can't seem to be found.
I have tried to research this item but could only find one reference, possible dating the bottle to 1865, but I cannot confirm. No additional information available.
This rocker was purchased by my father in the 1980's and restored by my mother in a furnature restoration class. when this was purchased it was painted black and the cane seat was almost gone. since it was restored it has been kept in a place where hands were not allowed to touch it at all. my mother was offered $500 for it in the 1980's and would love to know what it is worth now.
