Always like these old handmade utilitarian pieces. Born of necessity, the artistry was not forgotten.
Great finds! I would have grabbed those in a nanosecond. Can certainly see the Sandzen influence.
I, also, think pre-war.
I think F. Pogue. Does have a WPA feel about it. Though this was obviously for sale at some point, I don't think by a trained professional...
I just didn't see those as balls. It is an interesting lamp. 70s Spanish revival with that metal base. Looks like it could be satin glass, and...
I don't see three orange balls. The orange lamp probably is 70s but just another inexpensive ginger jar lamp. The only thing going for it is the...
Hoo boy! .... Sounds a lot like my own situation with a lot of lamps and parts, though what I have tends to be older and/or more collectable. I...
Sure has the attributes of being right. Rago would know.
Hard saying. Made the same way for many many years. India could also be a source. There are also reproductions being made. This looks better...
Surprised that the one Chinese cabinet could be Broyhill. If so, I think it diminishes the value over a legitimate Chinese example. Possibly not...
First piece and clocks appear Germanic in origin, though the first piece could also be French or Belgian. I doubt the white clock was originally...
Just the way they were made due to the precious nature of the wood. Even in much older pieces, fancy hardwoods were usually used as veneers....
Exceptional! We just don't see anything like this over here. If we did, I would be in trouble..... :rolleyes:
No progress in getting the back cleaned. Vinegar and water does nothing. Strong solvents do nothing. The adhesive is more like a fine grain...
Was thinking of trying vinegar on the concrete. Chipping it off will most likely damage the tile. The center tan portion seen is where it is...
Looks a bit like burl walnut but could be some sort of exotic hardwood. Thuya and koa wood come to mind but there are others.
Recent thrift store acquisition. Tan/buff clay so maybe Ohio? 9" diameter x 1" thick. Back encrusted with adhesive and concrete. Any ideas?...
This is a good line but, even at half price, that is expensive.... Particularly for just a headboard. Maybe not so bad on the dresser. The last...
The case alone should be worth $15-20.00. You probably should have sold the bottles for a buck a piece and sold the case separately.
Finally sold these silver earrings after a little over 2 years. Was worth the wait. Got my full asking price of $175.00 for them, but someone got...
Separate names with a comma.
