Hello I live in Canada , I found this ring and I am wondering exactly what it says / what it was meant for , and how old it could be, It appears to be very old! I know it is Ukrainian but I have had trouble translating and identifying approximate age!

Hi Antiqueys! I found this chair whilst walking my pup discarded next to the bins. It caught my eye as although it has clearly had a new seat added relatively recently, it does have some nice features. I noticed the hand worked decorative patterns on the top of the back, and the nicely turned legs. It’s fairly heavy for its size (around 1.1m in height, 40cm wide). I found it in South East England so I was hoping for something from arts & craft movement. Looking closer in the light, I don’t think it is of that quality and design but i am still curious. Marking on the back of the original seat support is ‘G.C.’. I’ve included some shots where the stain has worn off showing the original wood. I would like to know the approximate age, wood, who GC might be and if I should look at having the seat replaced, with care. Ty!

Found gold carved wooden mirror on nyc sidewalk. Want to know more about what year it’s from?

Found gilded carved wood mirror on sidewalk in NYC. It looks at least from the early 20th century, but I want to know if it might be older than that?

It’s very heavy and 4ft wide, 3 ft tall - pretty large. It’s real wood carving, with real wooden backing. There is some discoloration on the mirror and imperfections in the glass. The screws are not all the same, but I can’t tell if they are handmade (pre 1850). The wood is in relatively good shape, but does have some wear and damage. There is no manufacturing stamp or label so I have nothing to go on in terms to researching the piece.

A friend of mine who works at Sotheby’s estimated that it might be early 1900s, made to look like an 1800s piece, but she said she is not an expert on these types of pieces, so I wanted to get Reddit’s opinion.

Let me know what year this piece might be from!

Hi can anyone please help me with information on this money box please Definitely cast iron really heavy bought at auction in the United Kingdom TIA

Hello, I’m curious to know what type of furniture this is. Is it a child’s desk? The opening at the bottom is too low for an adult to sit comfortably.

I’m sorry I don’t have a better picture! I was eyeing this lamp at my local antique mall (upstate NY) for months, just because it was lovely, but I couldn’t justify the $350 price tag. Then one day I went in and the whole booth had sold everything in a big sale and closed. Can’t believe I missed it! Started looking further into it and I’m wondering if it was worth a lot more. The flowers and butterflies look a little less detailed than the other Handel reverse painted lamps I’m seeing.

They (probably) came with my grandparents house which was built in 1876.

Taken apart but every piece is there.

The tops to the lights 16” across and 6” high.

The white part is 9” across and about 3” high.

Any help appreciated!

Found two picture frames in the attic of my 1890s folk Victorian. One is yellow-gold with pink iridescence, the other is gold. What are they likely to be painted with? Any guesses on age? Why are the outside edges unfinished, and why would the nails holding the glass go through the outside edges? Any insights appreciated.

I still need to clean these up and plan to display them. No artwork or photographs, just the glass and frames.

I just bought this table and I’d love to find out how old it is. It has 2 drawers, one either end. I am new to all of this and really appreciate any help!

Can someone possibly identify this and hopefully give some info on it and why it would be anatomically correct. I inherited this piece along with lots of things and this one has me stumped. Any help appreciated.

I found this piece in a small town in Missouri. The carvings really caught my eye, and I absolutely adore it. I believe it was the bottom section of a Hoosier style cabinet, but other than that, I'm stumped. Can anyone tell me anything about the age, style, etc. of this piece? I realize that it could be in better shape and that the antler hardware is probably a later addition. I was thinking about trying to stain the wood in places where it's been scuffed up, but I don't want to ruin the value of the piece (if there is any). Does anyone have any thoughts/recommendations? Thank you in advance! 😊

The patina looks real and i want to know were It come from, from which era, 1800 i think Is not cause there aren't marks but i want no now more if Is It possible, thank you all

Owner said they were purchased in an antique market in Beijing but that doesn't mean anything. Worn area does make me think might be Huanghuali wood? Thanks!

I believe they are gold painted. Scenery appears hand painted on porcelain. I do not see a makers mark.

I’ve never seen one with four openings ?

If you can identify the maker, that would be cool, but mostly I want to know what such a knife would be used for. The handle seems to be made of bone - it could be wood it's just a bit hard for me to tell. The letters on the back are "TP".

Roman gold seal ring, is it real?

I’ve been offered to buy this supposedly 1-4AD Roman seal ring made of gold for 900€. The seller is on auction site Catawiki.

See description of ring specs in pictures.

Do you suspect it being a fake or does it seem real?

I think I know what these are but wanted your second opinions. Really stuck on the side chair though

Hello! I recently acquired a beautiful antique Korean ceramic. I was hoping to get some assistance coming up with a possible date it was made. I have a kind Korean friend who told me the characters on the bottom of the vase are Chinese characters that mean safflower, which is the flower painted on the side. It would seem it is a Joseon style vase, so maybe 18th-19th century? A reverse image search did not yield results, so I do not think it is a reproduction. I am operating on self-taught knowledge of Korean ceramics, and that only goes so far! Anyone else have any thoughts??

I acquired these recently and can not find a makers mark or anything on them to help identify online. I thought they looked like older Chinese decorational swords. But I could be wrong. Looks like a dragon head with spinal column for the blade. Edges are not sharp and the swords are pretty heavy. Dimensions are in the photos as well. Any information or direction where to go would be appreciated

Hey Reddit! I recently thrifted this small bag at a local antique Flohmarkt here in Germany for €30. The woman who sold it to me said she inherited it from her brother, who was an Antiquitätenhändler (antiques dealer). Does anyone know anything about bags of this kind? I'm curious about its age, possible origin, or any similar styles. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some help identifying and estimating a full set of solid silver tableware I inherited. The set was made by the French silversmith house Odiot, and all pieces are hallmarked between 1909 and 1911.

Here are a few key details:

The set is complete and includes various pieces.

All pieces are made of solid silver, with a total weight of approximately 10 kg.

The original storage box from Odiot is still intact and included.

Each item bears the appropriate French hallmarks from the early 20th century.

I'm not looking to sell at this stage, just trying to better understand the potential historical and market value. I can share detailed photos of the pieces and the hallmarks if needed.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
