Based on the one pic of the wood, it looks like mahogany (or a non-descript wood stained to mimic mahogany). I think you are right on with your...
I have pondered this myself but can generally find enough information without a subscription by looking at auction sites. Liveauctioneers is a...
Right now there are almost 11,000 TK prints for sale on ebay. Looking at sold listings, I find about 740 sold. This should give you some idea of...
Nice find. Definitely European. Those small impressed numbers usually indicate Austria but could be from elsewhere.
Look like ivory pukake beads. Maybe you are smelling the perfume of the lady that wore these. Discolored from same. Edit: Looks like the...
You often see these at over $300.00 for one in shops so don't think you overpaid. That said, they can often be picked up for next to nothing at...
Agree with the above. Bar cabinet, relatively new. Style is more Italian Renaissance but doubt it was made in Italy.
Wasn't sure about the brasses. Assumed the key newer. Think the second one is probably missing a top crown for the center piece. Also agree it...
Never a chamberpot. Chairs like this sometimes originally had leather insets like this or may have been converted from a cane seat. Can't tell...
I don't see anything wrong with the first one, though don't see anything particularly French about it. Looks like oak in that interior pic with...
Big heavy items like this are usually worth what you can get for them. Expensive to buy when you want them. Hard to sell when you need to....
I think you got a good deal. I can't see the complete rods but these are not fly rods. Bamboo rods used to sell in the $50.00 - $100.00 range...
Very odd thing by American standards. Where are you and any provenance?
I am seeing oak now in these latest pics. Also see straight regular saw marks in the last pic. Not seeing 18th century but could be mid 19th...
Modernist with a touch of surrealism I would say. Have seen similar works, whether by this artist or others, I don't know. Agree that it is...
NO to Bybee/Waco or other Southern potteries ..... I am leaning toward Belgian or French. Can't think of any US pottery this fits.
It can be repaired fairly easily. If re-selling, I would leave it alone. Mention and photograph it in the listing. If keeping, you might want to...
As for pricing, I always find dealers who are out of step with the market. The prices you are quoting sound like those you could get 10 years...
Another vote for mineral oil. Besides this, there are prepared oils for butcher block that may be as good or better. Found this.........
My first thought was brush McCoy matte Vellum but the glaze is more runny than I would expect and that incised circle on the bottom is not...
Separate names with a comma.
