This is a Cherub with a candle holder on each side, it looks like it drapes across his shoulders, with one coming out in front and one behind each shoulder.

I dont know what this item is, its been in our family for several years and no one knows what it is or what it may have been used for.

We would like to know, what is it and does it have any value??

Its a great conversation piece as every one wants to know WHAT IS IT??

Thanks for any help with this.

Have seen this piece with the avp marking on it horizontally instead of vertically and germany painted on rather than engraved online. Also, my marking is more worn off. Does this mean mine is from an earlier year?

Dining table with extensions, 4 side chairs, 2 arm chairs, buffet, large mirror, china cabinet

These are marked on the bottom and have a screw off top.  One is marked 1846 and the square one is marked 1890.
