Think the book stand is Chinese Chippendale and just as likely made in the West.
This would be hard to refinish to anything pleasing. The original finish has a toner and speckling, that once removed, can not easily be...
I might go a bit darker than golden oak myself. Think Mission furniture dark oak. Lacquer thinner should strip the paint from the hooks.
Think circa 1880 and not American. Could be English with those barley twist turnings. If 1870 or so, this would not necessarily have had a...
Your French style mirror is definitely 20th century. Could be as early as the 30s but on in to the 60s is just as likely. Could be made in Italy...
Jeff's examples are very similar in construction, so I might be coming around to his thoughts. As suggested, some more pics of construction are...
The shape of the legs and that rectangular stock front stretcher makes me think newer.
Second one is circa 1910. Probably oak under that paint. Should not be gold. First looks French in style but could have been made elsewhere....

Happened to drive past Goodwill yesterday. While closed, people are dropping stuff off anyway. There was a growing mountain outside their back...
Think this is at least late 19th century. Could very well be alligatored paint due to temperature extremes over time. Some people covet such an...
This is not ironwood. Much lighter, more porous wood.
Not marked. Able to find it by searching "faceted geode art glass".
Thought some of you might be interested in this. In researching the art glass bowl I posted in finds, I find it is by the Mandruzzato glass house...
Thought something similar would be easy to find but to no avail. Came with a tag stating Indonesian in origin. What can you tell me about it?...
You might find a similar chair to cannibalize for parts. I don't think those arm rests are original, though clearly what he used in the photo....
Thank you much!
Signatures are tiny and pics are best I could do. Any help is appreciated. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Second box: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This...
Couple more things to show. Picked up this French carved wood picture for $5.00. Signed F. Raugel. A couple days later, picked up two smaller...
Second one is renaissance revival. Circa 1880.
Separate names with a comma.
