[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 45551, member: 51"]Hi Mark, Wish I could help you with this -- you are so generous helping with knowledge regarding paintings and art, would love to be able to help you ID something for once. Only one thing I can add. I had some very old Peruvian pieces I posted years ago on the old antiques board, many of the same folks were there. My pieces were from a neighbor who was a professor at the local university, and he had detailed notes on everything and I couldn't wait for the response from one or two of the experts here on such things. Absolutely no response. So I personal messaged one of the expert boardies, and received a kind note, basically said that there was no way to positively identify items this old from a photo. And they didn't want to misidentify anything. You are probably going to need an in-hand appraisal. It looks promising, the way it is displayed, I would say the former owner thought it was something better. Best of luck.[/QUOTE]
