Help A Newbie....

Hi,
My name is Kelly and I’m excited to join your group. I’ve seen some very interesting items so I’m excited to see if you can check out some of my treasures. I have come across items from estate sales that looked interesting (either vintage or antique looking). I would like to identify items and catalog them so when I kick the bucket my family won’t donate it as “Mom’s old stuff”. So any/or all helpful hints or other resources would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my first one....
I picked these up at an estate sale. They are a little dusty but they looked old, mounted in these frames with no glass in frames. They are not pins (or jewelry). They are a-fixed securely so I can’t see their backs. They are an antique metal with porcelain inlay pic. If you could help identify and do they have a value?

Thanks in advance!!

 

Hi Kelly!

Welcome to Antiquers.........

Looks to be a wall decoration, maybe from the 60's?

Just my first impression.

Others will be along to give you their thoughts.....hang on..........

P.S. Photos aren't very clear........new ones if you can.

And...........choose FULL image when posting them.

 

Thanks Judy,
Yea, I just looked at the pics on the thread and they do look blurry. I have them in storage but I’ll get them out and try to take better pics.

Thanks again for taking a peek!!

 

Greetings, Kelly!

 

Welcome!

 

welcome aboard

 

I see INH has already ID'd these as Limoges.
I was going to say the same.
I was going to say 1950-70s would be a good estimate of time, but the frames look more 1980s.

Fragonard was a painter that has been copied extensively.

 

Welcome, Kelly. So many of could have written the same description of ourselves. We in the over 50 set do best with good, big, clear photos. I agree with what has been said already. These were made to be wall decor, porcelain could be Limoges, & they strike me as having a 60s sensibility, although
for me that's up in the air. Is there anything on the back of the frames?

 

No nothing on the back of the frames. And thank you for taking the time checking out my little treasures.

 

Thank you to all for making me feel welcome. I lk forward to working with you and your expertise.
