Thank you for your reply and link.

I paid $7.50 cents Australian for the whole set.

Think I got a massive bargain!

Thank you for your help.

Rauville ,your suggestion of the subject sent me in the right direction.

I found the artist through that.

It was painted  by Quentin Matsys in 1517. He was Dutch.

I like the subjects face very much and find it amazing that in 600 years
a scissors is still the same.

I will try to help. I know nothing of antiques so here is my little bit. Maybe someone can add the rest.

The Rose, Thistle, Shamrock and Leek are the National plant emblems of England Scotland Ireland and Wales.

Good Luck!

I bough a nice clock today to sit on my buffet/sideboard. Garage sale again
and only 10 dollars. It is working...ticking away nicely. Its going too fast though.
I opened the back and I think there is a bit(weight maybe) missing from the pendulum.
If I can buy one what size should I get?  Is it around 1930s? Its made in Germany and has the numbers
188076 and PL 12 cm. I can turn on and off the sound of the pendulum. When I turn
it on it wont stop.....aaaah! Its a pretty sound though!

Thanks again. for your interest. Most of the doors have a keyhole.I have taken a photo of the back of the keyhole.
I have a feeling that it is the base of a dresser as there is a gap where the back meets the top. Also the back has obviously
been put on much later.

I really love it. My home is tastefully furnished....no junk that I can see.

I'm not really interested in value...just age.
I paid 140 aust dollars

Thanks again for input...this is an excellent site.

I bought this buffet at a garage sale on the weekend.I would love to know the age and anything else about it.
The drawers have very wide dovetailing. The bottom picture is more true to the colour of the wood...my camera was playing up.
I spent hours searching for one similar online...no joy!

Thanks
Anne
