Yes their very old mine had been handed down from my grandmother 2 my mom & 2 me.But when I left my family home 2 come live w/my husband I had left it behind til I could come back for the rest of it.but our family home was seized due to some back taxes mix up & so were unable 2 go in 2 collect our heirlooms,antiques,or valuables.im afraid it may have been plundered already.I hope 2 one recover it since this is such a lovely piece.
