Sad but true!
This is so-called Duncan Phyfe style from the 40s-50s. I am not sure this is worth professional restoration. The claw feet are available on ebay....
These faux veneered pieces are usually a decal and can be somewhat fragile if not well kept. These look to be in nice shape but I would be...
Seeeing the quantity of cheap prints and schlock art that ends up in the thrift stores tells me that the majority of people have little taste or...
I always thought these to be 30s as well. However, had one very similar with a 1946 date on the mirror. I am sure the mirror was original to the...
Good point. Really did not pay much attention to perceived depth in the photo.
I think Ghopper is spot-on with this. Impossible to know with any certainty but do see some Germanic influence. Could also be Austrian or even...
For what it is worth, I like the spotted/mottled green glass used in yours. That is not something you usually see in the reproductions.
Circa 1910. Empire revival, sort of, with Queen Anne legs. Size? Might actually be a dressing table/vanity missing a mirror.
I am finding this shade on both authentic and reproduction Tiffany lamps. Here is an authentic one. 16″ TURTLEBACK | Tiffany Lamps...
Nice box! I would consider this arts and crafts. Probably made by a talented hobbyist. I find nice pieces all the time made by obscure makers....
Often the script is archaic and undecipherable, or partially so, to those who read modern Arabic. Usually have some religious connotation.
Killer piece! Have not seen anything quite like it. Agree that this is not likely American. Beyond that, I haven't a clue.
Think some Resor-A-Finish will do wonders for this. Might want to clean very well before using the product.
Have had several like this made up with my own prescription over the years. Last time I wanted to have it done, couldn't find anyone who would do...
The ring looks like a mounted iron meteorite. Here are some for comparison. [IMG]
Value is really dependent on where and how selling. We see no premium here in the semi-rural Midwest for B&G furniture. Other areas may, as they...
It is oak. circa 1900 and possibly as late as the teens. That carved crest is unusual for an American piece from this era.
These seem to have some promise, but that signature is impossible. I tried a reverse image search and came up blank.
New pics confirm this has some good age to it. European furniture is not my specialty but would think at least mid-19th century. Probably not...
Separate names with a comma.
