Self explanatory, a bronze statue of a resting dog - the fact that the dog has 'feather' on ears, tail and backs of legs and is in a typical pose of the breed, made me buy this as I was breeding and showing Salukis at the time.

see photos. cup pedestal base is indented; the intricate pattern around cup is repeated on saucer (photos not good to show this). cup is gold inside, with gold handle on outside...character on the underside of the cup and saucer looks hand-painted or drawn; seems to be a jewish or asian (??) symbol or maybe signature...my grandmother bought this cup many years ago, was told it was a jewish ceremonial cup...both cup and saucer are in excellent condition, no chips or scratches...sorry for my bad description...
This is a hat box chest I bought at auction. It had a badly cracked and stained lacquer finish. I cleaned it up and replaced the finish. I left the original stain but matched it up on bad areas. I replaced the pulls with the exception of the two bail pulls on the top drawer. I also had to replace a drawer bottom due to mouse pee stains. It has caster wells in the legs.
I attached a picture of the hat box door before refinishing to show the outline of an applique that was possibly original. Only one eyebrow was left when I got it.
I was hoping Mr Lovejoy or someone else out there might be able to fill in the blanks for me and also put a value on it.
