<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Delmer, post: 241380, member: 8219&quot;]That sounds plausible! If that&#039;s what they say then you deserve the bonus prize!&nbsp; I&#039;ll mention it when they ask &quot;what do I know about them&quot;.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes the back side is viewable as much as the front, but the frames are locked up very tightly so I don&#039;t know what the edges look like.&nbsp; THey came to me framed.&nbsp; One attribute of COPIED bronzework is that the copy is SMALLER than the original because of the molten metal shrinking as it cools. I mean when the original is copied, the CAST wax (or whatever) is the same size as the work, so the resulting poured bronze cools to a smaller size.&nbsp; I have no way of telling if these are the correct size but if they are copies, someone did a great job on the gorham font that makes up the Q number on the back.&nbsp; The Q number is the only marking on back.. otherwise it is a solid pool of bronze.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it would be really cool to have the design of the original furniture piece.. so I can restore it maybe. I&#039;ll look at the fasteners used to make the frame for evidence of modern times.&nbsp; The wire hanger hardware is run through eyelets that are screwed in. They look very aged.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
