Thank you, Fillide, for your help. Fifteen years ago I never would have dreamed of being able to chat like this with people all around the world to learn about a family heirloom. Thanks to Italymag my Italian throne information base is expanding. I keep hoping I can find more about Anti Brothers. Am thinking the family possibly immigrated from Vicenza. Thanks again.
Gala, thank you for your help. It is nice that my information base is growing. I have been trying to find more on Anti Brothers in New York, but so far nothing. Also, I've checked many US auction houses and large antique dealers and have not found anything like this piece. The closest was the one Penny found in the article. Most of the Gothic revival seems to have more of the tall corners with little crosses on top type style to them (if that description makes any sense to you). Thanks again.
I was finally able to post the throne pictures. I think you will see the similarities between my chair and the one in the article Penny found. Thank you again.
My difficulty in posting the pictures was eliminated by changing from Explorer browser to Google Chrome. Yippee! The pics are posted. I hope you enjoy seeing them. Definitely similar to the chair Penny uncovered in the news article. Thank you.
Penny, thank you for the detective work! My chair is similar to the picture in the news article and the historical information given by Gala seems to fit. I so very much appreciate your help. Could you please share with me how you found the information on the Anti Brothers showroom in New York?
Gala, thank you ever so much for the information. I attempted to post some photos earlier today, but evidently could not get the process. I would love to show it to you. It is similar to the chair shown in the news article from Penny. Penny found more information on Anti Brothers than I found in months of internet searching. If you think of anything else, please let me know. I appreciate both your and and Penny's responses.
I have an Italian queen's throne passed on to me by my grandparents. I would like to know more about the origin of this beautifully crafted antique. The back is carved "Anti Brothers Vicenza Italy." By my best guess the throne was built in mid-1800s or earlier. Can anyone offer information about Anti Brothers in Vicenza? Or, any other suggestions on how to research the heritage of the throne? Thank you for reading and any suggestions.
