Ceramic or porcelain candle holders

Category
Ceramics and Porcelains
Condition
Excellent
Description

The artwork is blue, purple, green, with gold outlining everything. The designs are of grapes, pomegranate, and leaves. The inscription on the bottom looks like C&F Enterprises. I took the best possible pictures before batteries dying in camera. Not pictured but on the bottom of one candlestick is a round gold made in china tag, and a tage that says "article may poison the food, for decorative purposes only". Any help is appreciated.

Marble Lamp

Category
Lamps and Chandeliers
Condition
Good
Description

The lamp is grey and white marble and carved beautifully with a shape that is not too simple but not overly ornate. It does have a couple small brown spots which I assume is water damage and/or scratches but they are minimal. The base of the lamp is square and the body is made up of 6 pieces of marble carved into different shapes and attached after the fact. The hardware that holds the bulb may not be original and it is also been shaken loose, though it stays upright and holds a bulb in it. It is just not particularly sturdy. The hardware's connection to the lamp itself is intact, just the tube that holds the threading for the bulb to screw into is loose from it's base. The cord is a brown one. It is original to the piece and has a 2-pronged plug. Black felt covers the bottom of the base, perhaps covering the hallmark. The cord has some paint marks on it but is not worn through in any areas.

1800's Abelony and Mother of Pearl, Wardrobe Cabinet and Vanity.

Category
Furniture
Condition
Good
Description

I have in my possession, something very unique...one of a kind and I am told by many antique experts, VERY valuable.I will tell you the story as I know it.A family here in Michigan owned it, the woman's great uncle was in the Korean War ( around the1950's ). Fell in love and married a Korean woman. ( not known at this time the maiden name ). As her wedding dowery, she was given these magnificent pieces of furniture, handed down through generations in her family. The couple had it crated and shipped to the United States after the war. The woman I obtained these from said she had inherited it and it had been in her family for about 20 years after the couple passed away.The Cabinet is MASSIVE, measuring over 8 feet wide by 77" tall and about two feet deep. I have never seen so much Mother of Pearl and abalone inlay in my LIFE as these pieces have. I have been told these were created somewhere in the 18th century.That is pretty much all I know about the pieces.The pictures really do NOT do them justice! It is spectacular!!The original mirror in the Vanity was broken years ago but I am having it replaced as we speak. This is a MATCHING set! The two pieces were verified as coming from the same artist. These would need to be in a good sized Master Bedroom and it would look incredible!
