My wife and I wish to personally thank every Posher who supports us with follows, comments, shares, likes, and encouragement. We truly enjoy reciprocating and meeting each and every one. Additionally, similar to many of our antiques, we enjoy purchasing brands of quality and that continue to remain "timeless."

@stormtreasures I believe you are much too generous with your compliment. Alternatively, I am giving you the well-deserved accolades. I will return my perusal and assessment with future purchases. On that note, the item is sent a like to was underpriced upon my initial opinion. Is there some evidence of "pitting"? Perhaps the reason it was actually priced fairly.
sybaritica
You and your taste are a paragon of excellence and with impeccable taste. A unique, true lady. Just assuredly, the premier page on this platform, if not any other. Beste, Maximilian. Will text you again later this week and refer and "share". Also, may I ask you, if ever uncertain regarding a provenance, please inquire . Although relatively expensive, it would be a pleasure to offer my services or humble opinion pro bono.

@stormtreasures Uncertain if you received my two texts.

@stormtreasures Apologies, I am unfamiliar with respect of reaching you, apart from my "about" page. The sterling tray was $3500. It is more than likely still salvageable, but in my prior experience with museum silversmiths, I recommend immediate attention. I do hope I've helped a bit. Anything for my new friend.

@sybaritex thank you for your most recent communique...we believe you are referring to the four cherub repousse sterling silver tray...Thank you for your considered opinion...we may be going into the city tomorrow so l am going to close for now. Thank you again ☺️
