<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 350331, member: 2844&quot;]Thanks, Jessie, a very nice piece. I agree with Obb, it is not 1700s. I would say 1880-1910, so still antique. The carving is beautiful, but not the deep, pierced carving of the 18th and early 19th century pieces. I prefer this, by the way.</p><p>The cane is often redone on these antique pieces, but if a buyer has to have it done, that would be taken into account in assessing the value.</p><p>Dowels are good, but not necessarily an indication of age. Many Asian furniture makers still work with dowels.</p><p>It could help a little in value if you have evidence that it was once in the mansion in Stirling, maybe an old photograph from the archives of the mansion or Stirling. That would attract local interest.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=6719]@pewter2[/USER] , can you advise Jessie on ways to sell this beauty in Australia?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
