Some of the companies that converted old pieces for entertainment centers in the 90s charged extravagant money for the finished product. I...
I am inclined to say it is a reproduction. As beat up as that rim is, some of the other details are awfully crisp. Assuming this to be 18th...
Not Eastlake. Colonial revival is closer but really see this as more of a fantasy piece. I do think the wood is old but believe the piece made...
Very similar to the second one in the link provided by Opoe. Does appear to be an old cabinet, though whether as old as the one in the link,...
I suggested the scratch test. Did not think it was ever established that it is grey metal seen in post #3. Agree that if it is, there is no need...
You are the OP (Opening Poster).
Circa 1880, transitional from renaissance revival to Eastlake. Walnut. Factory made. Roman numerals are used to match parts. Likely bed number...

I have a similar all metal 6' one I use for carpentry projects. Keep a 3' one for places the 6' one is too large to use. Besides carpentry...
Have stayed off this thread since photos and info are not really sufficient to say anything definitive. My gut reaction is that these are fairly...
All pretty modern and made as a lamp. Patina is chemically applied.
Have similar in my shop now. Probably carved shell with enamel, though some modern ones are plastic.
Another vote for Edwardian.
I also think Bohemian. Would guess a compote with a sterling base that has been scrapped. Find a candlestick to mount as a replacement. Also...
Separate names with a comma.
