Antique French Knives 1 Year, 11 Months ago
|
|
Hello, I was looking to see if anyone could please help me out with figuring out an approximate appraisal value on my antique French knife set for the late 18th century. These are sterling silver with mother of pearl handles and have unique punches where the blade meets the handle. Also it has a document showing the history and come in the original wooden box. See my files for further reference. Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks |

Fairy lamp? Candle holder? What is it? 1 Year, 11 Months ago
|
|
|
I inherited this. It's been in the family since at least 1890. The cover comes off, you put a votive candle in it. Not show is the ring attached to the base that you can put your index finger through to carry it around. It's about five inches in diameter and six and a half inches high, with a circular vent hole at the top. I haven't found any markings on it to indicate manufacturer, date, etc. Does anybody know where it came from?

Fairy Lamp? Candle holder? What is it? 1 Year, 11 Months ago
|
|
this has been in the family for over 100 years. It is about six inches high and five inches in diameter and has a ring attached to the base for insertion of index finger to carry it. The cover comes off and a votive candle can be placed on it. A vent hole at the top allows the smoke to escape. It has been called a "fairy light," but nothing I've seen on Google comes even close to this. It has no markings for date or manufacturer. Can you identify it?  |
