RE: Between Lebuh Armenian and Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling...
Great stuff as usual AC, that carving you showed reminded me of something I found in a shop here in Atlanta, exTREMELY expensive (I thought)
No idea where it was supposed to be FROM or if it was authentic, or a knock off
Yes, that is $10,000 USD
Love the post, and welcome back @ackhoo
Awwww, thank you very much for the encouragement and support, @jerrytsuseer! :) I'm no expert but that looks sufficiently old and authentic... May be a Baba Nyonya (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peranakan) ('Peranakan', a Malay word)/Straits Chinese piece - a day bed, perhaps? There is a museum in Penang, the 'Pinang Peranakan Mansion' (http://www.pinangperanakanmansion.com.my/); 'Pinang' is the Malay reference to Penang (or 'Pulau Pinang' = Penang island) There! That should be enough reading material for you... :D
Good Morning @ackhoo, I will most certainly look up those links. Thanks
