<p>[QUOTE="Jake1995, post: 103920, member: 1474"]I just woke up! Haha. I live in Australia so communication between us is going to be somewhat... delayed. Anyway, the hall stand was purchased here in Melbourne. The shop owner couldn't tell my mum much about the item, other than the fact it was over 100 years old. She doesn't seem to believe it is an Australian piece - we do import a lot of European/American furniture here (as do many countries I suppose), so that might very well be the case. I've taken everything out the drawer and inspected both the drawer and surrounding area closely, but I can't see any engravings, etc. (just a few blemishes and cracks we hadn't noticed before). The metal is not a lock, and the two brass bowls at the bottom are not original, but made by my grandfather. It also looks like it has been touched up quite a bit in other areas (new vanish, etc.). I will upload a few more photos very shortly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
