🌸WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?🌸
I will be running #spotthefake every Tuesday, and I will post a few pics of a few antiques. It may be antique lighting, antique furniture, or even top designer furniture. One or more will be fake or reproduction.
It's up to you to #spotthefake. Post your choice in the comments, and maybe let me know why you think that.
🌸RULES🌸

🌸LAST WEEK'S WINNER🌸
Well done, @theluckygem. You are the winner!
There were quite a few correct answers, but unfortunately, some entrants did not resteem, so they did not qualify for the Random Thing Picker draw.
The answer was the first image. It is a very, very good reproduction piece, bought in Egypt. For me, the dead giveaway is the handles and other brassware. They are quite big and clunky, compared to the fine, detailed handles on the original antique piece that was in the second pic.

🌸 SPOT THE FAKE #03 - 🌸 BRASS WALL SCONCE WITH CRYSTAL 🌸
Ooohhh!! This is a difficult one! The copy in this round is a fantastic reproduction, and when I first saw it, I had to double check with my boss where he bought it!
To enter, you must UPVOTE, RESTEEM and guess the correct image! Answer will be revealed this time next week!

Hi @princessmewmew, nice meeting you. I just joined steemit and I have been loving what I have been experiencing here. All kind of contests. It's interesting. I will try too always follow your contests. I might be lucky.
Back to the answer. I thinks the first image is the fake one. My reason being that the image one's bulb holder has a kind of label written on it and the art work is all clustered together. The what looks like a candle is finely designed and the crystals are finely attached to each other and placed.
I hope I am right.
oh hi @seyiodus! Welcome :)
Glad to hear you are loving life here on planet Steem
I'll send you a wallet message next week when the answers are revealed !

Really? Thanks a lot. I can't believe that I am the winner. I am so glad. Thanks again @princessmewmew
IT's a pleasure! I am so pleased you won!
Good post, I have no idea what is fake or not when it comes to funiture, etc....News stories yes
thank you so much! you can still take a guess! You could win 5 SBD 😊
Hi there, this seems tricky. But I'm going to say the first is fake. The complexity to electrify that sconce would be extremely hard as if this was cast during an antiquity period the unlikely the arms would have been hollow. Modern casting would have allowed these to be hollow for this purpose.
Thats my theory.

Yay I actually got it right basically for the right reasons as well. Pity i didn't win :( Still a cool competition :)
You were very close to being correct. Actually, now that we are so far in the 2000's, an antique is anything from 1917, and they had electricity then! Before then, there were quite a few lights that ran on gas, and these would have had hollow arms too.
If a light has those solid arms you are talking of, you know they are SUPER old, and definitely date back to before 1820.
history lesson concluded 😎 😎 😎

I would say that they are both fake, because they are electric and using plastic crystals that aren't showing any rainbows in the light.
LOLz! Any light made after 1910 (or when electricity was installed in most households) would be able to have electrical wire, and even before then if the brass arms were not solidly cast the electrical wires can still be fitted)
All the crystals are proper hand polished lead crystals, definitely not plastic!
Thank you for your comment, I'll reveal the answer next Tuesday!
Well...it was worth a shot.
But, of the two, the top one looks less fake due to its lack of symmetry.
It is definitely worth a shot - 5 sbd to win! Yay, thanks for your entry 😊😊
Congrats to the winner 👏
My guess here is that the first one is fake 😕
But hey I could be wrong... Lol

Oooh! You may be right, you maybe wrong! Let you know next week Tuesday! Thanks for your entry 😊
thanks for playing - Answer and new post is up here
Hi my princess...
I am very happy to continue to follow the contest you make, it is very unique and difficult also to guess. But this time I'm pretty sure that picture no 2 is fake, it's clearly visible from the apparently less impressive model and I think it's like a counterfeit merchandise. May I be right. 😄
Thank you for your weekly contest and rewards from every of our participation :)
Hi @coretan! Thank you so much for your entry! I am so glad you entered again!
