Thanks Mat, it was probably an unwanted prize out of a lucky bag

Antique Questions Forum / Hindu God Shiva - is this antique?

« on: March 31, 2016, 01:54:51 am »

Hi everyone

Through a little research online I have what looks to be a statue of the Hindu God Shiva dancing on a demon baby.

It looks to be quite old, however things nowadays can be made to look this way.

I am wondering if anybody has any specific knowledge in this area to clarify if this is antique.

It stands about 10" tall.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone

I have what looks to be a bronze buddha walking cane head.

Picked it up at a local market for £2, and i am wondering if anyone could possibly date it from the pictures?

It is quite heavy and is about 7" in height.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone for your help. I guess i'll keep them as decorative chairs as they are an eye catcher.

Thanks again

Many thanks.

So the style is Renaissance Revival.. i will look up more on this style.

And yes they are not very comfortable to be honest, but they do look amazing.

Many thanks for your help, much appreciated

Antique Questions Forum / Is this Chair Savonarola, Renaissance or Gothic?

« on: March 30, 2016, 05:50:17 am »

Hello everyone

I purchased these 2 chairs about 4 weeks ago, as they were described as 'decorative chairs' and thought they would look lovely in my conservatory.

However after i paid and collected them, i did not realise just how big they actually were, and also just how heavy they are. But they are absolutely beautiful and solid made.

I have managed to find some examples on the internet, which swerves in the direction of Savonarola.. but then another search leads to me to Gothic.

Could anybody shed any light for me please as to what they actually are... savonarola, gothic or just a chair!

Many thanks in advance

Steve
