<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 103639, member: 54"]If the plant it resembles is id'd you will have a better idea of where it is from. My guess just based on the work and general subject would be Japanese. Maybe a GI broke it from or detached it from a larger work. It is high-quality metalwork, very well-rendered foliage. Guess ca. 1900 plus or minus 30 years. Gilded wrought iron? Not mass-produced IMO, the craftsman put the 3-dot matchmark there to identify what other piece fits there, which he also marked with 3 dots.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
