<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gatoblanconz, post: 9844554, member: 14927&quot;]Here are some more photos including with some of the edging removed because that actually needs gluing back. So you can see the timber.</p><p>Some of the set of photos have the loose cornicing in place and some of them have it removed. The fact that there is no nails and that it seem to come off so easily also casts suspicion about it being antique.</p><p><br /></p><p>The story I got from the vendor who was South American said that it was his grandmothers and he believes it is 70 years old. To me it felt older, but then what do I know? So it&#039;s possibly South American made rather than Indonesian.</p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of weight it feels like how it should feel like. It doesn&#039;t feel particularly light but it doesn&#039;t feel heavy either. But even if it was made of hardwood there isn&#039;t much to this thing. It doesn&#039;t have a central column so it&#039;s not going to weigh much anyway. It&#039;s not a big piece it&#039;s only about a meter high and the bottom base would be about 26 centimeters square.</p><p><br /></p><p>I paid $40 Australian (30usd) so I can&#039;t really be complaining because I&#039;m not quite sure what else I could get with those aesthetics for 40 bucks. He actually didn&#039;t want to sell it to me because he ended up getting dozens of messages about it off Facebook marketplace (I saw his phone) so he felt he had sold it too cheap. But because I spoke Spanish with him he was kind of cool about it. I&#039;m even going back several weeks later to pick up one more piece of that cornicing which he had dropped in a hole.</p><p><br /></p><p>Agree about the spray painting after cleaning sanding and filling. Will be easiest.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] [USER=30]@antidiem[/USER] [USER=20937]@Boland[/USER] [USER=6444]@Jeff Drum[/USER] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]492405[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]492406[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]492407[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]492408[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]492409[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]492410[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]492411[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]492412[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]492413[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
