Would think European in origin. Can't pin it down any further.
Hard to tell too much from these pictures. Appears to be a 19th century Gothic revival piece. While much furniture in churches is Gothic, this...
The primary issue when painting is to de-gloss the existing finish before painting to insure good adhesion. This can be done with a good cleaning...
I think you would devalue this nice piece if you paint it. Find something with some damage that you can truly improve with paint.
Value really depends on where you are and how selling. Condition is also key. Berkey and Gay is top quality furniture but this doesn't...
Think these are late 19th century.
Late to the party but pretty much agree with what others have said. The form is a bit odd. Suppose it would be handy for storing whatever, wherever.
Value is dependent on locality and selling venue. We could probably get a couple hundred at retail here in my Midwest location. Sounds like you...
70s for sure. This would be a hard sell at any price. Take what you can get for it. We buy china hutches for as little as $25.00 here or find...
Agree, a dining room buffet/hutch. Think a tad later to the 40s, on in to the 50s. The doors have definitely been replaced. A great candidate...
Used to be that a cabinet like this would bring $5-600 easily. Nowadays, we struggle to get even $250 in my semi-rural Midwest market. You might...
Would think an insurance value would be more like $200-250.00.
The only thing I see that is even possibly objectionable is the loss right there by the hat. This is typical of these old signs, as the finish...
This is nicer than most. Condition is everything with these. Assuming perfect condition, could see this bringing $100.00 or more in the right...
70s for sure. Capiz shell shade for sure. The plug is a standard replacement type available for years.
Nice! Circa 1910.
The radial cut veneers on the back plywood indicate that this is a reproduction. Started seeing them in force in the 70s.
Nice sign. Condition is actually pretty good. Are we seeing the best side?
Don't think this is a TV lamp. Am guessing there were originally a pair and known as table torchiers. Often found used on mantels. I am on...
Agree with an early 20th century date.
Separate names with a comma.
