I've always been in love with this piece.. Its .800 silver filigree, made entirely by hand, and its HUGE. Its so intricate and elegant, I just love it! I bet its fairly old too. Does anyone have an opinion on the age or country?

Identify the carriage itself! I think it might be the Gold State Carriage:

Heyyyy you're right!! Its the Gold State Coach!! Wow thats so neat, I never would have figured THAT one out. So I bet this was a little souvenir from London or Buckingham palace huh? Maybe Victorian or a bit later. Thanks a lot Vetraio!!
From 1762 onwards used for 'that special event'.
All of that and perhaps a Coronation!
1901 - Edward VII et al.
Mind you, it could have been made in Germany, too.
I think even English filigree would have to have been hallmarked.
Yeah thats deffinitely it, its got the same 5 finials on the top. The real one is a bit more opulent though lol
Hmm you're right, theres not a mark anywhere, and England is the most scrupulous hallmarker of any country, while Germany is the least. Germany also used a lot of .800 as well. I've never actually seen an English hallmark for .800 though, maybe they didn't mark anything under .925?
That is beautiful.I just looked at some stuff kind of like that on ebay.
