<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Constable, post: 4454369, member: 76311&quot;]First off, I’m new to antiquing. I’ve found a few pieces and researched&nbsp; via Google Lens. I’ve stumbled across some pieces of value (I believe.) However, this piece I thought was new(er). I thought it was beautiful and bought it at a garage sale. The lady who sold it had previously used it outside. It looks very ‘dry,’&nbsp; is covered in webs, and has dirt in places. But I decided to research, just in case.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have two questions:</p><p><br /></p><p>after using Google Lens, I found a similar, if not identical item for sale. Seller mentioned 1800’s ladder back but, offered no origin detail. I have found no name, mark, etc…</p><p>Does anyone have a clue as to it’s origin and time?</p><p><br /></p><p>second question, I don’t want to destroy this piece but, I do want to put it inside my home (can’t with all the dirt/webs.) [ATTACH=full]383731[/ATTACH] Can I clean it with soap and water? And use some sort of natural protection so, that it doesn’t wear too fast?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
