<p>[QUOTE=&quot;whatmamahad, post: 254210, member: 979&quot;]Aloha Dunesfield,</p><p>Your carving set is very similar to pieces produced in India, during the 1940s and 50s, for tourists.&nbsp; The wood might be Mahogany, though it looks more like Iron Wood.</p><p>What criteria did you use to date the set? Family Heirloom?&nbsp; Provenance?</p><p>It&#039;s hard to believe the set is not signed or hallmarked.&nbsp; The carved flowers are very lovely and meticulously rendered.&nbsp; The artisan was, obviously, a master carver and would have signed the pieces.&nbsp; If the set belonged to me, I would use a magnifying glass and examine every inch of the pieces.</p><p>Regardless of age, you have a Beautiful Treasure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
