No problem with the quest for knowledge and what you have found is more than what we know about most antique furniture. I commend your zeal and,...
20th century Dutch motif bell. Handle looks like pewter. Could have been made in a couple different time periods. Dutch motifs were popular...
Google says that kylfat = cooler in English so a chiller is the equivalent. I am with AJ in the opinion that this is Middle Eastern in origin and...
Ditto what the others said. Recently sold a similarly ornate European set in our store without original chairs for just under $1000.00. It had 2...
As noted, Restor-a-finish is a good product and easy to use. It proves a quick method for sprucing but will not make it look like new. No...
Nice find but really doesn't impart much, if any, value. Suppose having such included might entice some buyers but doubt they would pay more for...
I also think a cobblers or other type of craftsperson's bench. Think the round part is to hold small items or tools. The soft working surface is...
Nice box. Dovetails look hand cut so could be as early as mid 19th century. Someone took a fair amount of care in making this.
You are on the right track. I tried to stay above $100.00 when I was really in the swing of ebay selling. Found that was too restrictive....

Lots of great advice above. Personally, I don't buy unless I think I can mark at least 3 times. Also, time is money. Is it really worth your...
Can't remember if these are Thai or Indonesian but a fairly modern import. Maybe mango wood.
Can't tell enough about the table from these pics. My gut reaction is that it is late 19th century. The sideboard is older. Circa 1870 and...
As bad as brown furniture is doing here, it is not that bad. I could sell the first two in the $150-200.00 range without too much difficulty....
40s - 50s mahogany for sure. Very little value here in the Midwest. Would pick up something like this for $15.00-20.00 at the thrift stores here.
Would think about 1890. Probably part of a parlor set.
Holds true for furniture by sought after companies. KC company doesn't qualify as such. Always nice to know as much as possible about what you...
A true antique and would be a shame to paint. Condition does not look that bad to me. Some clean up and a new finish would do wonders for this....
Not terribly rare to find labels but agree that most pieces of furniture do not have them. Cabinet is circa 1900. Really doesn't matter much who...
Would think I would have to say art deco but not as sleek as much of the earlier deco furniture.
Separate names with a comma.
