Definitely not oak. Maybe mahogany but really need better pics. 40s-50s and probably $20.00 tops, as-is, in my neck of the woods.
Picture?
Pretty much in line with Johnny on this one. 40s or just a bit earlier.
Little more polished and stylized but have seen similar figures from Mexico/South America. Maybe a place to start.
Yikes! You could spend a lifetime finding that many originals. Ebay is your best bet for finding period hardware. I would not confine your...
Antique gold paint is a good option but will still look a bit one-dimensional. Once dry, I would go over it with a dark brown stain and rub it...
Think this is a late Victorian pastiche of styles. Could even be a bit later, on in to the 20th century.
Agree that this is probably a studio piece and modern. The Chinese versions have mostly killed the market for crystalline glazed pottery. Not a...
This would be the hardest part to find so you are quite lucky. I found several heat caps on ebay but don't know what diameter you need. I...
You are missing the lighting cluster and heat cap/finial. The heat cap and finials are easy to find, as reproductions are made. A double light...
Think Hepplewhite works and can also go with Edwardian. Could see how it could be later but think no earlier.
All of the abvove. If veneer, you will never get a clean cut without a very good (expensive) saw blade and some expertise. It will shatter and...
Surprised the paint is as streaky with two coats. Did you stir very well?
Also don't think period but think could be early 20th century/Edwardian.
Nothing to add really. Lots of these out there made by countless companies. Suppose the 38 could be a date but just as likely an internal...
Fascinating! I do not have any direct knowledge but the part about using the gong to chase away the eclipse got me thinking. I found that this...
Second coat will not make it darker. Should even out the streakiness. Top coat will not even it out. That is one bright blue! Glaze would tone...
There should never be a nail in the top of furniture. You need to pull the nail and make the repair properly. This means examining from...
You really need to pull the nail.
For age, would need to see construction details. Drawer joinery, drawer bottoms, and backs to start. A custom woodworker would need to make a...
