Antique Questions Forum / Bronze candlestick holders

« on: April 12, 2010, 10:34:40 pm »

I've got a pair of these griffin candlestick holders, they may actually be brass or some sort of bronze/brass smelter. There are no identifying marks on them. They are 7 inches high and 9 long. Any ideas?

Antique Questions Forum / New and Looking for assistance (Maybe Austin Anderson table)

« on: April 06, 2010, 01:10:20 am »

Hi. I hope I'm doing this request right. This table came from a friend of the family who passed away so I can't ask the previous owner any questions. The only mark I can find is an "A A" stamped on the bottom of the drawer. I know that Austin Anderson was a founder of the Elite Furniture Company and he worked around before that. I also know that Elite built similar tables (I still haven't found one with the same carvings) and the time period seems right so that leads me to believe it may have been Anderson's work. I checked with A A Laun to be safe and they said it was not one of their tables. So I'm hoping to find a little help on the manufacturer and maybe the value. Thanks in advance for any help.
