Tough fix. I doubt any of the above methods will work as a permanent repair but maybe worth a shot. However, adding more water runs the risk of...
Hadn't replied since I thought this settled in the first response. This is clearly a reproduction.
Ditto the above. Think a date of 1910-20 is about right for these. Certainly not common production and in walnut is also a bit unusual. 80% of...
Would not be surprised if the chest is actually older. Typical immigrants trunk 1850 or later. Possibly Scandinavian in origin. Does look...
I like the 1870s or so dating. Doubt it is earlier. European. Any info on country history?
Possibly transitional from the Queen Anne to Georgian period in style. Whether or not it is period is hard to tell from these photos. My feeling...
Circa 1870

Just realized that this is iron and steel (missed the part about magnet sticking). Assumed it was copper since the other examples shown are. The...
Just conjecture. Any time you see two virtually identical pieces without trying, I think one should question authenticity. There are so many...
20s or so seems about right. Agree that the knobs are replaced.
Water dipper? We have a virtually identical one in our shop which makes me wonder if it could be a repro.
Looks like something old and utilitarian. Farm equipment? Maybe a cabinet for drying something in. Something would be hung on those spindle trees.
First is a spice chest. Likely modern Indonesia, China , or India. All three make similar. Second is a drop front desk or ladies secretary....
More likely late teens -20s.
Oh wow ..... flashback! :cool:
A little research has found that the sinuous spring was first introduced in 1934..... a bit earlier than I thought. I imagine that it took awhile...
I also think circa 1930. More art deco stylistically than many you see. That may explain the differences more than anything.
Can't be too old with those sinuous springs. Believe they came out post-WWII.
