I have a very large ornate mirror by Robert Prenzel and was wondering what it might be worth?
ReplyDeleteIts 85 wide by 135 long and the mirror insert is 55 x 90.
Any suggestions?

ReplyDeleteHello and thank you for your interest in asking my opinion, I can not help unless I can see an image of your item ? Prenzel made many items and his factory also made many carved items, there are lots of factors which relate to pricing Prenzels work ? there are a number of works that people think have been made by him but in-fact they are not his hand but made by his factory.
ReplyDeleteSo Im sorry to say unless I see an image of your item I cant guess or give an informed opinion.
If you would like to send an image via antiqueroadshow@hotmail.com I would be happy too help.
Kind regards Lester

ReplyDeleteHello, I have viewed your photos that you sent via email, please let me ask a few questions relating to your mirror ?
How did you come by this mirror, did you buy it ? if so how long ago or did you inherit the item ?
Is the item signed or stamped if so what is it stamped ?
