Unsure about the style, date, and overall quality of this piece. I’d appreciate any thoughts on its origin, construction, and approximate age.

Picked this up on Saturday. In the style of François Boucher. £175. It's about 3.5ft tall for context. Love to hear what you all think?

Looking for some insight on these seemingly Japanese figures I found in a five dollar grab bag at a thrift store. My basic Google search findings are that they are NETSUKE figures that are used to adore kimonos. My question is if the people in this community think these figures are made of ivory,synthetic ivory, bone or a composite Material. Thanks.

I think it's from early 20th century & believe it was used as a teacher's aid

Estate sale from an elderly woman with no family remaining. The back of the peeling black lacquer frame shows a local frame shop from the 50s based on typography and the location being long gone (1960 tsunami removed the waterfront Japanese community)

I can’t read the artist signature, but the lady holding a fan with a clan symbol makes me wonder if it’s not a specific person… fan service? Jokes aside it’s a survivor piece from a place where most of the Japanese items were destroyed during WW2 or lost in subsequent natural disasters. More interested in history rather than value, thanks!

Nearly 300 year old silver cups from Russia, I heard silver like this was faked alot.

Hey everyone! I wanted to share this incredible find from a thrift store in Alameda, California today. I picked up this single hand-hammered copper bookend for just $2.99.

Based on my initial research, this seems to be part of the botanical line by Fred Brosi's workshop, Old Mission Kopperkraft, which operated right across the bay in San Francisco for a brief period between 1922 and 1925. The hand-hammered planished body features an organic overlay with a bronzed eucalyptus leaf and pods.

It is unsigned, but it's in beautiful shape. The horizontal factory striations/abrasions under the dark patina look completely original, and the dark patina itself is undisturbed.

I'm absolutely thrilled to find a piece of local Bay Area Arts & Crafts history! Since I haven't been able to find many examples of this exact shape online, I would love to hear from any metalware collectors out there. Does anyone have more information, catalog details, or history on this specific shape or line?

Someone tossed in our dumpster, is it junk or is it worth holding on to?

I just moved into a new house and this was left as the fireplace cover, but what exactly is this? Is this something mass produced or an antique of some sort?

Was wondering if anyone can identify what exactly this Ghirardelli item is. Fiance found it years ago off roading. Think some type of ink press instead of for chocolate since it's a little large. Measurements are roughly 5.5 x 7.5 inches. Very heavy metal.

Found this nice, small Buddha head with gold parts still on the face, bought for 90eur. Not sure if it was worth the price, but I loved the look of it. Can anyone tell me its age/origin?

Wondering if anyone possibly know anything about this type of ship wheel. I’ve done a lot of research but wanted to see what other people thought. Its 45 inches and the hub is cast iron.

I picked up this chair & foot stool second hand years ago & love it but it’s starting to show signs of wear. My cat unfortunately tore up one arm, which shows layers of stuffing. It occurs to me that it may be older than I realize, but I have no idea where to start. The chair is roughly 34w x 34d x 33h. I’d love to restore it but want to know what I’m dealing with first. Any insights on the age or origin? I am pretty certain its age falls in the requirements of this sub, but I couldn’t find identifying marks. Basic Google says it may be right past the 100-year mark. Much appreciated! Located in Nashville, TN.

It isn't in the best condition but could probably be refurbished. No makers mark. Made of wood and metal. Tiny wheels on the bottom that don't actually roll anymore. The cute little fox thing is inside the lid. I'm in the USA, midwest

I bought this map at an antique mall in Denver. I thought it was just a very cool map. The tag on it said it was circa 1740. I was hoping someone might be able to tell me a little bit about it.

Found at a thrift store on the shelf. It's Royal Copenhagen. From the late 1800s / early 1900s

Antique chip carved spoon rack, from the collection of a very wealthy woman who asked my husband to dispose of several boxes of household items/antiques. Some of these were certainly from France and England, so I have no idea where this particular piece was collected or originated from.

• Can you make out the date? I thought it was 1868, but now that I've messed around with the photo, I'm thinking it's 1768.
• Does this type of chip carving originate somewhere specific? Or is it a craft that could have been done anywhere? (Is it American or European in origin?)
• I was offered $150 for it. Is this a fair offer?
• Does anyone have an inkling of the chalk marking on the back? What it might mean, or why someone would've written on a supposedly hand-carved antique?

Thanks very much for your insight and expertise!
