This is a rope bed with a very interesting carving on the headboard.  The carving is very organic looking--even sexual--and detailed.  I believe that during the Victorian era, superstition led people to hang mandrake root over the headboaerd of the "marriage bed" to increase fertitlity.  Does anyone know of fertility symbols being carved into headboards?  I am very curious about the age and value of this piece.  Any thoughts?

The razor has a curved head to better fit a woman's underarm. This item is still in it's original box and still in original cloth pouch. I also have several blades for the razor in original packaging.

The statue is a bust of a with her left hand resting on her right shoulder and her head is turned to the right.  Her hair is short and has a "nappy" texture to it, yet she has long, narrow, caucasoid features.  She is wearing a headband and a loose, sleeveless blouse.  The sculpture rests on a small wood base with a plaque reading "G. Armani".  It is, so far as I can tell, one of Armani's few "M" finish pieces.  I have never seen its like anywhere, and a local appraiser said he could not give me a value on it.
