Fantastic work- you have far more patience and talent than I do! Definitely keep posting your projects.
Thanks for the recommendations! I've installed a number of new craftsman-style decorations but was hoping to find something from the period my...
Well thanks for the advice, everyone! Looks like my plan's a bust. I will keep looking for something more appropriate.
Hello everyone! Recently I purchased a neat cast iron double eagle and "cup of plenty" plaque for my craftsman-era house. Dimensions are 31" x...
Oh, looks like the writing and chalk markings are on the frame, not stretchers. They also appear to be partially covered with tape. Also looks...
Again, could be wrong here but those chalk marks look more like framer's measurements than auction house notes. Also, look at the image of the...
Maybe, it's hard to tell. Can you check any other parts of the stretchers? If this painting is pre-WWII, it should have nail holes along the edge...
Journey, this may be a post-WWII painting... I see staples through the canvas on the edge of one of the stretchers but no apparent canvas...
Weathered ignition coil jewelry? Sounds like a solid business plan in there somewhere lol! Very neat piece though. Reminds me of something you'd...
The backing board is definitely not 1840's. The coloring of the wood is far too light. If the rest is antique, the backer could have been replaced...
Well... the shirtless guy was balding at the front. Hickock appeared to have a fairly full (IMO iconic) head of hair even in his 30's. James...
After 4 months of on-and-off work, I finally restored this 1877 oil painting by the French artist, Gaston Roullet. He was official painter of the...
If this was used in a commercial environment, it must be pre-1991. Too little room under the sink to satisfy the 1991+ ADA knee clearance...
Do you have a picture of the entire front? Rear? Your pictures help a ton, however it would be fantastic to see the entire painting in one shot!
Update: I checked Mr. Callow's diary and discovered he completed 4 sketches of Montrichard on the morning of June 16th, 1836 during his walking...
Fantastic! That is wonderful info.
Hello all, Infinite appreciation for your help in identifying Caerlaverock Castle in my Richard P Leitch watercolor! Recently, I purchased the...
Not much thrift experience but I've found some wonderful antiques at UK auctions. Shipping is painful but IMO often worthwhile.
Thank you for all of the help here! Fascinating castle with quite the history. I believe the castle is moated in my watercolor. The water just...
I finally found time to clean, reframe, and reglaze an 1876 antique watercolor of a castle by Richard P Leitch. In the process I used archival...
