I’m not sure if it’s antique but I also don’t know where else to ask! Does anyone recognise the markings at the bottom, or know if it’s silver/ plated? submitted by /u/Martian_Girl_ [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Brought this 4.5ft mirror I found on fb marketplace for an eye watering low price home. Thinking it’s French & from around 1870-1900…? Can’t find a makers mark/artist signature though so for all I know it could be a very detailed historic repro. If anyone has information or thoughts on where this could have come from I’m all ears! The back is very delicate old wood & I don’t want to take it off the wall but can if photos are critical to it being identified. submitted by /u/conluxury [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Personally I assumed it wasn't but my wife loved it enough to get it regardless. But I know nothing about this kind of thing, and wasn't sure what resource to use to learn. submitted by /u/Dark_Shade_75 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Picked up this sweet drop leaf table a while back, but have been unable to date it for the 6 months we’ve had it for. It feels like it’s got some age to it, but there are no markers as to a brand or manufacturer. There is an indentation that looks like it may say 75, but other than that. It’s plain. submitted by /u/rickjames_03 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am in the US, I bought this piece online today and I'm just curious if there's a way to tell whether it is victorian or a replica. I am obsessed with it and plan to keep it forever so I'm not concerned with worth, I am simply the kind of nerd that loves knowing the history of the furniture I collect when possible. I looked on the bottom for a manufacturer mark but it's covered in fabric. I could obviously cut it but wanted to avoid it unless I had to since it's in such good condition submitted by /u/8leggedcrow [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

US located and found this heavy metal bowl at a yard sale. I saw similar designs that state this is a 19th century bean pot but this doesn’t appear to be cast iron. There is a brass/bronze hue on the outer rings. Anyone know what this is and where this came from? It’s really heavy and weighs approximately 10lbs.
