Description: Nice pieces QUESTIONS WELCOMED No shipping outside Continental USAAny Concerns please message thanks Collecting BorgheseThe plaster cast items are, by nature, subject to cracks and chips so finding examples in flawless condition is a challenge. However, repairing and coloring in chips and cracks for these items is usually a fairly simple task, especially since the surfaces were already deliberately distressed. Borghese of the earliest manufacture is usually more intricate in design and craftsmanship. It would appear from the two catalogs in my possession - one from 1929 and one from 1970, that the quality of design diminished through the years, no doubt in the interest of expense. Latter examples are fairly common on eBay but the early examples rarely appear on the market. When they do, they usually, but not always, bring a premium. I suspect the collecting interest in Borghese is still pretty new. To find Borghese items on eBay, try searching the Antiques category using the following: (borghese) (lamp,box,bookend,figurine,plaster,shelf,print,frame,mirror) Items tend to range in price from a $10 to $200 depending on rarity and condition. NOTE: I do not provide price estimates or appraisals. Search eBay for examples similar to your own or use Terapeak (www.terapeak.com)NOTE: Except for the earlier pieces with wood frames, Borghese items are always made of cast plaster. Borghese never had a foundry and never cast in metal (or plastic). All Borghese non-hanging items were backed with either green or black felt. Pictures, wall plaques, and other wall decorations were usually backed with terra cotta heavy stock paper or they were left bare. Happy hunting! Griff
