    You should consider that this may not actually be "old." I bought a plant holder that looked old about 20 years ago that turned out to be contemporary.

    Can't say for sure without handling it, but my first impression that this was a newer piece done in an old style. The close up photo doesn't show a crispness that I'd expect from an older piece.

    It could be vintage (1990s). It has a cool look.

    It's relatively new for me too. The casting quality gives the game away. A true Victorian metalsmith would never have let that out of the workshop.
