I am not really experienced with toning products. These MCM furniture pieces often had a pigmented sealer applied prior to finish application...
I really don't know enough to hazard a guess as to age. 1950 was 73 years ago so certainly enough time for this to appear as it does. Could be...
I see where you get Cairoware but that punched stippled background makes me think something different. It is also more crude than what I would...
I think older. Those corner brackets on the back should have an 1800s patent date on them. Used on in to the 20th century so would say circa...
Just for the heck of it, I searched the above cedar chest. Prices were all over the place, on up to a whopping $900.00 (asking price)! I did...
The stuff is out there! All from yesterday..... This would sell better than a complete machine would. Only $8.00 so I doubt this lasts long....
I see a portrait, so not abstract. Unless done by someone known, you like it a lot, and was dirt cheap, would probably pass.
I believe it is a ferrule.
This showed up yesterday for $60.00. A lot of the refinishing work is done and it could be a very nice piece. Too bad the drawer pulls are...
Hate dealing with intermediaries but what can you do? Maybe find out when the mother will be there and go back.
Nice piece! Kayserzinn was the most famous of the makers but there were several others. They usually marked their pieces. Other famous makers...
1920s dressing table for sure. Fairly high end piece for the era. Would call it traditional revival since it does not reproduce a recognized...
The table and 6 chairs above is now reduced to $56.25 and still no takers so far. Have to think someone will snatch this up at that price. A...
Based on the glass, think this one is older. I am thinking post-war, into the 50s. I know this does not fit with what the Op's family history...
Seeing lots of these crystalline glazed vases in the marketplace. New in the import stores from China in the last 10 years or so and showing on...
I would hesitate to say it is definitely 18th century. I think more late 18th to early 19th century. I also think more research is needed to say...
Not an aquarelle, which is a watercolor using transparent layers. This seems more like guoache or maybe even acrylic. The message I get from this...
Try to find a blacksmith to make you the hinge part. Otherwise, all looks right as rain.
Just a few more things to show. This table and 6 chair set has been sitting for over a month and is now half price at $112.50. It is in great...
Looks to be nice quality. I think sometime post-war up into the 60s, as Johnny suggested.
