There are 2 of these lamps. The second one resides in The Dana house in Springfield, IL. In the late 80s, our then Governor Jim Thompson, had...
Looks like an ink wash/watercolor original. The frame liner is grass cloth.
@Jeff Drum Just posted your chair to an arts and crafts group I belong to. Hopefully, they can give us some direction on it.
The cedar chest is only 42" long so a great size for most people. I would have bought the washstand but I have several smaller pieces right now...
I like a tung oil varnish. There are some readily available products or you can make your own. Equal parts tung oil, oil based varnish, and...
Here are a couple thrift store pieces seen of late. This pine washstand was $15.00. I did not buy it. [ATTACH] This cedar chest was $16.00. I...
Picked this up fairly recently. Marked 800 silver with marks for Hazorfim Ltd. Looks like they have only been in business since 1952. Odd...
Once again, I have been remiss at photographing finds. I have an 800 silver candelabra I will post in the silver forum and something for the...
Unfortunately, not finding anything right now. Am heading out of town for a few days. Can post to an arts and crafts group for input when I get...

Quality piece that I don't recognize off hand. The triangular brackets should be a defining feature. No time right now to do some digging but...
Not oak. Looks like a modern Indonesian reproduction to me.... albeit, a nice one.
As suggested, a classic cafe chair. Variations have been made for over 100 years. In metal, this has to be fairly recent. Nothing about this...
Looks like a radial cut veneer, which is a later innovation. The lock escutcheon and key also look pretty new. Can we see more pics of...
30s or so is spot-on. Handles do appear to be bakelite. Condition is wonderful. Sometimes, the more streamlined furniture such as this is called...
Nice pot! My first thought was Weller but you could be right about it being Wheatley. Can you tell if it is hand turned or molded?
I use Midwest Refineries. Got the recommendation from someone here on the board. Have also heard Northern Refineries is good. Both are in MI so...
I think later than 1890 unless the top is a replacement. Can you tell if the top is plywood from the back. Sure looks like it from the pics.
Can't evaluate from these pics. Could be a period piece or a later reproduction. Ditto the tapestry. Even if the tapestry is later, it could...
Separate names with a comma.
