Title: Anyone have any idea of the value of this piece
Post by: WDH on February 06, 2013, 10:39:26 PM
I found this at my dad's place and have been trying to find it on the internet to see what it's value might be and can not find much of anything like it. My dad is 90 years old and he told me that his mother got this from her mother so it has to be close to or over 100 years old. Any help would greatly appreciated.

Just a quick message on my way to bed. DO NOT toss that!  Not sure on exact $$  value, but definitely collectible.  Do an image search for ... antique garden jardiniere with pedestal... and see if you find similar. Give other, more knowledgeable members a chance to chime in and I'm sure you'll get a clearer answer.

BTW, welcome to the forum!  ;)

Can you please do a better CLOSE UP pic of the pedestal, bottom of pedestal and pot and inside of pot?  Thanks!

Really hoping to see a legitimate Roseville mark on this!

Garden antiques are on the upswing,, could be higher that these values if sold individually and is marked as Roseville !!  Need to see those bottoms !! Would have to go inside my house,, not in the garden,, for sure !!

Arts and Crafts Roseville. Agree with Mart that it may well be worth more, possibly $750, even $1K if cleaned up and sold in the right market.

The first two sold in 2006/07, the second in 2010. Looks like a nice trend in sales  ;)

HA  ;D ;D "great minds often think aalike", ..... I wasa thinking Roseville when I seen the picture.

But now I was thinking that Roseville didn't always mark those jardinieres and/or pedestals, ....... did they?

yeah but also the last is slightly more unusual in shape.

Same design
http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/61168

2003 - $1000

http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/3573455

2007 - $650

www.liveauctioneers .com/item/11118623

Prices are inconsistent and the OP's looks to have some wear.

First off thanks for the great responses from all of you. I will definitely go to my dad's today and get some better photo's to post. I did look on bottom of the bowl and the bottom of the pedestal and didn't see any writing, is there somewhere special I should be looking?
thanks again
Wayne

Look for a RV ink stamp and possibly Mostique. I posted shape/size markings in an earlier post above^. Hopefully it will have one or more. I have seen some listed that didn't appear to have markings.

Usually would be on the bottoms but look over the whole thing !!

Ok I will look. Since you folks are so knowledgeable and nice there was one other thing my dad told me he thought was over 100 years old. I looked through all I could find on antique storage chests and while some of them were similar none were the same and none appeared to have this lining in the lid. Is this something I should keep around?? The second and third photo's are of the underside of the top.

Pity the top is convex. If they're flat they can be functionable.

Still worth keeping though

It's a camel back or camel hump dome trunk from the 1890s. See if you can find someone to restore it for $200 or so. When restored it should be worth about $500.

A nice piece for the foot of your bed.

£300 ?! Is the restorer going to leave some cash in it ?  ;D

'Twould be nice but......

Msghopper and I own a trunk that is virtually identical to this one.When we got it it was almost worthless because of a 60s "antiqueing." We had a very talented friend restore it from the ground up, including new leather handles,  paint and a new tray within. The cost was about $250. Looking on the internet, similar trunks go for around $500.

Would cost more than that around here to have one restored !!  The smaller trunks are generally worth more that those large ones !!  No one has room for those big trunks any more and they are rarely bought just for storage !!

Hello again, how is everyone doing. As requested I took some more photo's of this piece. I did not find any kind of marking like what you guys showed me to look for. But here are the photo's either way.
Title: Re: Anyone have any idea of the value of this piece
Post by: ghopper1924 on February 07, 2013, 03:15:51 PM
I'll stick with $750 more or less.

Very nice item!!!
