Candelabras and Pyramids

I had a lovely day meeting with a new client today.  She has a number of beautiful items to sell. Here is a wonderful piece from her collection. It either came out of the Rockefeller estate (back east), or had an attachment to it. It was made by their Farrier, who is said to have the last name Fink. This hand forged wrought iron floor candelabra has traveled down through this family for many many years.  




And then there is this photo taken with the Sphinx and the pyramids in Egypt. I will have to share this image with my dear friend Michael Sprouse. From the numbers written on the back, I think it was framed in 1918. Whoever had it framed spared no expense. There are no names on the back of the photo.
 Any thoughts?

  2. This does have a Raiders of the Lost Ark quality to it like that.
