[FrontlineAntiques]

Hi chaps

can you take a look at this for me please. Been offered this piece. Unsure about it. the photos leave quite a bit to be desired but they are all i have.

Is it right?

Not original I'm afraid. The central wreath is too "flat" and the arms connecting the suspension loop to the arms should be tapered, not parallel.

Thanks Gordon

I thought it was too good to be true. The hanger looks supsicious to my mind too.

As copies go, its one of the better ones and a good "space filler". I've seen this type being offered as real on a couple of occasions by big name dealers.
