Thanks for the better photos. The body of the lamp is definitely of Eastern origin (Middle East, North Africa). The rest of the parts, including...
Would not be surprised if this were not missing an entire top cabinet nearly equal in size to the bottom.
Good question. Furniture darkens naturally over time as the finish oxidizes and changes due to UV exposure. Consequently, a lot of dark antique...
Agree, we need bigger pictures. No harm in rewiring an old lamp. Can buy cloth covered wire if you want to keep the old look.
This is a spool bed. A Jenny Lind is also a spool bed but a different configuration. This is also probably a bit older.
Would think this part of a sectional so you might look that direction.
This furniture crops up periodically. Usually pretty cheap here. Might have to buy a beat up example for the hardware. Otherwise, eBay would be...
Signature couldn't get any clearer than that. My first reaction was chairs turned upside down but can now see AJ's interpretation. Maybe the...
Looks like a very promising attribution. Am thinking the number is 2/3 (#2 of 3 made).
Came expecting a carved wooden beastie of some sort. :wideyed: Have to pay better attention when reading.
A little more unusual in maple but terribly out of style right now. I can pick tables similar to this for as little as $10.00. Have posted...
Think you have this right. Probably English. Doubt it is as late as the 40s, though styles seem to have been made longer there than here.
Have found a fair bit of late but no home runs. Here is what I have photographed so far. This is a very large pastel painting signed G. Cooker....
Have not photographed much but thought I would get these out there. Just posted in PGP about reproduction candlewick. Low and behold, I find...
Only thing I have seen worth shooting of late is, yet another, very old walnut dresser. Of course, missing the mirror but that is the only thing...
I guess my only question about this is why it has a multi-board top? Shouldn't we expect something of this age to have single boards used for...
I am with Ghopper and Komokwa on this. I can't imagine getting much more than $100.00 for that here (Semi-rural Illinois).
Most shops around here open at 10:00. Many are closed mondays but open all weekend. Most stay open til 6:00 with shorter hours on Sundays...
Found this on Etsy [IMG] Bakelite Push Button Switches, Pear Shaped, SOLD INDIVIDUALLY - Etsy
Looks like this could be a remote switch for almost anything. Wire it into a lamp and position the switch by your chair for example. What they...
