Linda C is correct. The telephone was invented long after that style was popular. It's a cute looking little thing. This brings up an earlier topic, revival VS. reproduction. Since this item never existed can it still be considered a reprodution? This must be an Indoneisian version of Victorian revival. LOL

Good36, it's obvious you went through some effort to display them as you did, and if someone has any of those sets, like Sweeby did, how you did it would ring bells and you could get lucky. However, it's probably not going to be so easy to just post them and expect someone reading would recognise each set you post and get it resolved immediately. It may take some time and some effort on your part for research after you identify the makers and hopefully the patterns and age. What is really helpful is showing the marks on the underside. Most are unique and can trace you back to a company and a good place to start a search. Instead of putting a bunch of different items on in one thread, it would be more helpful to take one set at a time, and get clear, concise pictures with some of the undersides showing. When the maker is discovered, the hunt for pattern is only just begun. This might be a little more invovled than you'd hoped.

That would be a French Vitrine (curio cabinet) with a Vernis Martin finish.. kind of that golden "frosty" type finish. The legs are classic. Date wise, I would guess around 1900-1915, but could be a decade or so older. They CAN be quite valuable... 3-10,000 for a decent piece, however, the condition is pretty... well... it's rough! You're correct in not replacing the glass, especially if you still have the piece that is broken out. I can't even imagine what it would cost to replace. There are things you can do to prevent further deterioration, however, that would be only if you plan on keeping it for personal use because it WOULD diminish it's value. Insure it? That's a judgement call. In good condition, insuring it for 3-5,000 would be fair.

HI, I live in Taipei. I’m very upset with W.SCHILIIG ! I would not recommend any person to buy W.SCHILLIG products. Few months ago (Jan 2019), I spent about US $7000 to order one 3-seat W.SCHILLIG Intermezzo (P65) sofa at a local (a Taipei agent) department as those sofa at showcase booth are good and every sofa has a sew-in label says “Made In Germany” & “W.SCHILLIG”, so it won’t be a so-called ‘copied’ sofa. This is one of the reason I placed the order. But when I got my sofa delivered (July 2019), it smells weird and the quality is not as those I saw at the showcase booth (see photos below)! I had several discussion/meetings with local agent and brought my questions and photos to them and doubt is my sofa really “Made in Germany” or it’s a ‘copied version?? They could not provide any convincing date to me. The sofa I got does not even has any label indicating it’s “Made in Germany, No “W.SCHILLIG” either!! No one can tell where this sofa comes from! Recently, I got a letter (see below photo) from a W.SCHILLIG VP. His letter made me really disappointed and upset. He confirms me my sofa is absolutely made in Germany because W.SCHILLIG did ship one P65 sofa to the agent. That’s it?? He also says there is a label says “Made in Europe” (that’s the leather) and “Germany is a part of Europe, so no difference)!!!! I spend US $7000 for a sofa for Made in Germany, not Made in Europe ! I have no idea why Germany equal to Europe?? Because I was very upset, I sent the leather sample (see below, pls check if this is your stuff!) which I received together with the sofa to one of my country’s(Taiwan) famous test lab and do a test according to Taiwan national standard (CNS11677: Furniture Safety requirements and test hazardous substance of furniture surface). This is leather sample I sent for test From the report (see below photo), there is one item: Leaching concentration of chromium (Cr) exceeds our national standard about 10X !! (697 mg/Kg, the spec. is less than 60 mg/Km)!! The sofa I got is a bad. I asked W.SCHILLIG to check the info I provided to see if this is really their product. Well, they said yes. It’s really weird! Just don’t touch this company's product, then you won’t have the same headache I have. 1. Below is the report. The red circle on page 2 says Leaching concentration of chromium (Cr) exceeds our national standard about 10X !! (697 mg/Kg, the spec. is less than 60 mg/Km)!! 2. This is letter I got from a W.SCHILIIG VP. Let me tell you, no any consumer is able to tell where the sofa is manufactured and which company manufacture it. This is a great news for any guy who do the ‘copy’ version of furniture ! They do not claim their products are fake but ‘copy version’. I’m not sure if my sofa came from W.SCHEILLIG, but it seems your VP & CFO insist this bad thing came from you !! 3. These are some of the photos I provided to ask W.SCHILLIG folks to check if the sofa I got came from them.
