    Hi all, new to the forum here. I just wondered if anyone could identify these items and their estimated auction/antique fair value. I have lots of other items that I need to identify, however I'm not sure of the rules just yet. For example 1 picture per post etc.

    Suggestions so far include Anglo-Japanese/Aesthetic movement, ca 1870 for the mirror. and 1960's Persian for the chair, and Edwardian for the 3 panel glass screen.

    That sounds about right to me.The chair intrigues me,is it metal ? Its hard to tell from the pic. I was thinking more Spain.

    The chair is solid metal, really good quality build, and the red padding is gorgeous.

    I'd like to see the panels in that screen up close with maybe a white sheet behind the glass so the flowers show.
    The inset flowers on the top of the mirror - is that fabric or wallpaper? I'm fairly certain it's not original because it's country style and the mirror isn't.

    I don't really see anything Japanese/japonisme about that mirror/shelf unit. Perhaps a closer look might show me something that would change my mind.

    The mirror appears to have come off of something.
    Might have been a dresser. May have been the back of a what not display.
    Possibly English.
    Bakers - the only thing lending itself to Japonica is the black lacquer.

    Definitely looks like Miss Piggy in upper right of the screen-may help date it.

    Clearer photo of the chair back will allow someone to get the country of origin based on the costumes.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    It does have a Russian / Slavic look. Are there any markings on it? Is that fabric on the back and seat?
