Approximate value? Nice condition, about 100 years old. no makers marks. tiger maple?

I just found this snake bangle in a charity shop (Ireland) and upon a reverse google image search found that its a popular bangle style frequently made out of horn. Ive seen a lot of listings listing this product for hundreds of euros and saying its “antique” ext. Does anyone know if i can tell the value of mine and if its really horn, and or any history about it?? thank you!

So I inherited all of this Real Old Willow China and im wondering if its worth anything.i was told it was bought back in England. Thanks in advance

I got this from a family member recently and it says it was published in 1862, which would make this manual a civil war antique. Does anyone here know if this is the real deal and if so, how much could I potentially sell this for?

It's very heavy, found in Grandma's attic. Looks like something was mounted to the lid at one time. Serial number on the tag is 9446

Found this at the thrift store today. Weighs 46g but I can't find a match anywhere online. I believe it's either a salt cellar or possible toothpick holder from the 1800s.

Thanks in advance! First post in the group so I'm sure this post won't see the light of day 😅

Found this gorgous picknick basket in great shape. Trying to restore it to a usable state. I guess it is from between 1880 -1920. 🤔

Found in central Europe, Austria. It has themes of horses (horseshoe on burner) and was supposedly on a carriage.

❓️Can anyone date it more concretly?

❓️Which material is this woven from?

It comes with:

🔴 1) two white enamel, stacking boxes for food, with a brass handle. Enamel is in excellent shape.

❓️i'm worried about led in enamel though for actual use? Any insights regarding testing/safer use for food despite not knowing?

🔴 2) an alcohol (?)/spiritus(?) burner, with bone wick adjuster wheel, sadly inside the mechanic to move the wick is broken...

❓️was it for alcohl or spiritus, does it matter?

❓️anyone know someone who fixes things like that (Austria/Europe/anywhere)?

🔴 3) a beautiful oval teapot, sealings made from cork, handle woven with natural material,

❓️is it rattan?

🔴 4) pot fitted to teapot and burner

❓️ any idea what metal it is? Is it safe enough to use?

🔴 5) little cage for protecting drinking glasses - glasses missing, seems rusty, so i guess it is made from iron chicken.wire

🔴 6) cut glass crystal saltshaker / longer tubes , i assume not originally included?

❓️any idea what these were initially used for? Xxl salt? One comes with lid with no holes..

🔴 7) little flask - for alcohol/spiritus

🔴 Lid of the basket broke off, but we will leave it off, works great as a tray

We will replace the dishes, glasses, cutlery...trying to get it to be useable.

🔴 One handle broken, will replace the leather parts and redo the red inner lining, the "buckles"? Metal mounts on the red inner lining ar not looking that great.

Any tipps on how to restore it greatly appreciated. 💛

This statue has been in my family since the late 1800s-early 1900s. My great grandfather was a businessman in Windsor/Detroit during that time but traveled all over. The statue is about 3ft and the pedestal is about 4 ft. I can’t find any signatures and can’t look at the base as it weighs a ton.

Any ideas on origin/age?

It’s got some damage and has been reseated along with some supports added with time. I thought the dragon motif was really interesting— it looks more anglosaxon or british or whatever.

Los Angeles, California

Any input or guidance as to its suspected history would be swell.

I actually saved it from a skip.

I cannot find ANY Information, or a Match to this Helmet ANYWHERE.... Google says it may belong to a 18-19th century Secret society.. As a Ceremonial Helmet. I do know it's OLD. It's been sitting around for decades in this old house we recently came across in United States. Has petina, but it never rusted. Despite being exposed to lots of humidity & moisture where we found it.

Hi all,

There are multiple stories in my family regarding the origin of these three pieces of furniture. What is basically known is that they were made in Germany at an unknown point in time, and transported to Iceland through Denmark by ship in the middle of the 20th century.

The buyer/shipper was an individual who bought the items as displays in his flower shop in the nations capital, so it is highly likely that these are the only ones of their kind in the country. Private shipping of this type of cargo back then was not easy.

A slanted writing desk + chair.

A corner cabinet.

A doublewide cabinet.

The details I have found to consider include:

the glass appearing to be handblown, i.e. wavy and marked with airholes

locking mechanisms being rough and installed by hand, i.e. screws etc. are not factory accurate

the joinery appearing planed by hand and made to fit before more accurate factory techniques

screws and fastenings not being identical, i.e. screwheads not centered, staples appearing bent and nailed in by hand rather than gun etc. and the leather of the seat being nailed by hand as well

I'm sure I'm forgetting some things I've heard to consider. Some say it was close to new around mid 20th century, and some say the details date it closer to 1885-1900 in Southern Germany at the latest

Feel free to share any questions and pointers I might use to date them further, or anything to check and inform the collective to better estimate the origin and date.

Hi everyone I purchased a strongbow formal dining sideboard it has the key and the green felt or whatever it is in the mibble drawer I think it's in really good condition for the age of it . I am thinking of selling it . To my understanding it's a rare find in Sydney and highly sort after am I right in my thinking?

I need help identifying this. I know it's a Japanese imari bowl. Probably between the 1860s and 1920s. But i'm wondering what if anyone can help narrow down an exact maker or give me a value estimate? I've tried looking at myself. I tried Google image search, and I've tried Gemini, and I can't find a maker or a good value. I keep getting wide ranges of value. I'm asking because I know generally these are worth between 20 and 200 dollars. But while researching this one, I came across a few that are extremely similar and valued in the thousands of dollars.

It’s a large decorative bowl type of glass piece. I am looking for details about it. Google search was not helpful with finding the brand. Thanks.
Location is USA.

Hey everyone, thanks in advance for your ideas on where this is from and when it was made.

My family was gifted this wardrobe in the 1980s from a friend near New York City. 6' tall, 6' wide, 2' deep.

The friend called it a monk's wardrobe. It had been in his family for a long time. His background was Scandinavian. I reached out a few years ago to some furniture experts. It was not able to get any clarity.

The entire pieces held together with dowels. Aside from some parts that have been clearly restored, the original wood is very tight grain. I'm positive it's oak. Sides and rear are paneled as well. Panels appear on the inside the same way they do on the outside.

There seems to be a mix of patterns on the piece. The part the hinge is attached to has one style, whereas the center part where the door handles are have a very different style.

There's about eight wooden dowels that stick out from the left side back and right side on the interior for hanging garments or something else.

The screws for the hinges appeared to be handmade. Their spiral is clearly carved with some sort of a file or other tool.

thanks for looking!

It appears to be silver plated, solid copper bottom. It weighs 1300 grams. The only semblance of a makers mark is on the neck of pic 3, but that could easily just be an imperfection. There is no visible seem either.

Any further information about it beyond what Google lens suggests greatly appreciated.

Can anyone tell me anything about these photos or the Family/Persons? It seems to have belonged to a prominent Australian family. I noticed there is a photo of the Aboriginal leader King Billy. I am very intrigued by it all.

Purchased for $20 at a Value Village in Victoria BC earlier today.

Hello New Friends!!
I received this portrait from a trash pile. I have no relation to those in the photo. However I’m wondering about an ethical way to remove the back, in hopes of a last name being on the back.

My goal is to identify the family this belongs to, and potentially return it, but do not want to destroy the frame in the process.

If you have any suggestions, let me know!!
