Some sort of Eastern import. India, China, Indonesia. Interior form and construction is very similar to an armoire I had from China. Exterior...
Pretty much agree with all the above. Think the wood could be pine rather than poplar but really hard to tell since it is so dried out.
Not sure what it would be worth in your Canadian location but, in my Midwest semi-rural area, under $100.00 in this condition.
More reasonably priced:...
Nice piece. I think James has nailed this. Agree with the dating as well.
Looks old to me. I am not sure about this being a marriage or not. As far as those legs splay out, the base could be for a top of this size....
Would think 20s, give or take.
Not teak. Looks like birch or beech. Similar looking furniture woods often stained to look like other woods. Birch used mostly in North...
Odd thing. Likely from the 40s-50s. Reupholstered at some point.
I am going to disagree with the two opinions above and go with the 30s date. Think machine age late deco period. Suppose such could have been...
Would consider this antique or nearly so. Locks were made the same for a lot of years but this style was pretty much gone by the 30s.
If doing for yourself. If doing for resale, would stick with a traditional seat.
Agree about the shade being French. Maybe a French fixture retro-fitted for American use?
Some replacement seats for antique chairs on ebay.
For modern tastes, this set may prove to be more popular. As an example of Berkey and Gay's workmanship, the other is superior. While you see...
Value really depends on where and how you intend to sell. You may find this thread on a different B&G set of interest:...
As others suggest, vintage at best. Many made in Italy in the latter part of the 20th century. Many still made in Egypt and the far East today....
I am a firm believer in furniture paste wax. I prefer Johnson's, partly due to cost, but as good or better than some of the pricier brands.
Paint away. This doesn't have the design that people who appreciate Simmons furniture want for the most part. Lots of information about Simmons...
I also think 19th century. That three board drawer bottom has to be a replacement even if a later piece.
Separate names with a comma.
