i made the decision to buy this thing based on that Christies sale. it cost $12.99 at the Goodwill. Witsen studied with Whistler and is...
what is it that you see that looks acid burned? the paper is darker on the backside, but it feels good, that is to say, not brittle.
it's not an original period frame. it's a nice, probably 60s or 70s era slender walnut(probably) frame. i'm not throwing the frame out either,...
yeah, and that's why i've kept all of the backing cardboard, in case that's the best option. but, it will cost a lot more to ship and require a...
hi everyone. i picked up this European art print last week. it needs a cleaning, but the artist is somewhat desirable(Willem Witsen) and...
i was going to post, after my initial answer i went in and examined the surface closely. Aquitaine is correct, it's basically the same design as...
nothing. it appears to be some calligraphic design, however it could be Chinese characters too. i don't speak or read Chinese. it's difficult...
one of the problems i've had with identifying the tray is the style of art just doesn't look like anything Chinese, at least not that i'm familiar...

yes, that's what i believe they are as well. i think this is a marriage of sorts. i also think there's a fundamental misunderstanding here as...
hi, thank you all for you help. yes, it has occurred to me that it isn't Chinese. but, if you examine the construction at the corners, there's...
thank you for your input. i'm certain that it's old. among the problems in researching this piece is, what to call it. you've used the term...
hi everyone. i just found this at a local Goodwill here in Sacramento. i walked by it a couple of times, not really noticing it. Then on the...
no offense taken. quilts are not my specialty. i have had some nice ones through the years. what it really illustrates is how slow it is for...
hi, thank you for your responses. i'm going to need to get more pictures. i don't have any of the backside right now. all of the small squares...
hi everyone. i just picked this piece up today. it needs some repairs, but it's not terribly damaged. i think the colors are good and it's...
