Title: Antique Bronze Knights Helmet bust question
Post by: j_bellanti on August 11, 2016, 05:53:43 PM

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this item I bought at an antique auction.  An appraiser did not know for sure, but thought it was a decoration from a cigar club in England dating late 1800's to early 1900's, like an ashtray.  He did not know the value, but said to insure it for $4,500.00.  I have sent it off to a few other appraisers with no luck on what it is.   Any help would be appreciated as I have looked everywhere I can think of for an answer.  Photos attached.
