A charity thrift store would certainly take this. I didn't mean to imply that it was totally worthless. If inclined to do so, you might list...
Right. I wasn't sure about this so thanks for the clarification.
Picked up this set recently. Sold as silverplate but the little crystal pot lid has a minerva head, so sterling. It also bears a maker's mark,...
These are my last finds of 2024. Just got around to photographing. Nice snowy day here so a good time to stay home and work. I never find...
May be earlier than I thought. 20s-30s maybe.
Can we see the entire piece?
Would call it a setee. Early 20th century, mahogany. Edwardian if in England. Nice bones but of little value in this condition. No one wants to...
Can we see the back? I am thinking 30s-50s for this but kind of a guess at this point. I think regionalist in style. Has a somewhat naive quality...

Think you need to find a good auction house that specializes in French furniture. If in the US, that may be difficult but sometimes some of the...
What Ghopper said.... Wood is mahogany.
Terustioni?
The first is a colonial revival piece from the 50s that is supposed to look like a modified maple sap gathering bucket. Probably intended as a...

Can do. Might be awhile. Started stripping the lacquer and it is not coming off easily. May have to put this on the back burner for now.
Last minute gift to myself. Not my usual thrift store find. Came into my former shop as part of an estate sale. Not cheap but was able to...
Definitely did not start out life together. Dresser is circa 1900 and missing the original mirror. Top is a bit tricky to peg. Could be as old...
