<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 2065753, member: 738"]A very fine piece! The family story sounds dead-on, as whoever this was consigned for had money. Every detail and embellishment; in all the marquetry, carved gallery, even the cut mirror, adds up in a cabinetmaker's invoice! I love the naivete' in the angel's face, so much personality there. And quite the menagerie of beasties! I can not help with a maker. You might try an enquiry to one of the Northumbrian decorative arts or conservators' schools.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
