I am not sure that is the gist of my post. :rolleyes: Good luck in your quest to authenticate this.
Admiralty Charts dates back over 200 years. I don't know how long they have been using that impressed paper seal or if that is just a marketing...
Believe this to be a bedroom piece at this size and configuration. Secondary wood makes me think this is likely American. How old do you want...
..... and this is why I provided a link about laid paper. It is entirely possible that your photos are not good enough for us to authenticate...
Not overlooking it. It is not a Royal Navy Seal. It is a seal for Admiralty Charts. I provided a link to the government office that oversees...
This is modern paper as far as I can tell from the photo. It would not have been available in 1777. I provided the link about laid paper so that...
I found similar without the seal as a reproduction by Heritage Charts.......
The paper isn't right for 1777. It should be laid paper. More info on it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laid_paper As far as I can tell,...
Dimensions and knowing the configuration behind the doors will probably help to determine intended use. Agree with Johnny on age or just a tad...
Would at least want to see a pic of the seat without the cushion. Can't tell if it is a home made job from 3 chairs or factory made. Price would...
Look at Weller Hudson pieces. No two are alike so you probably will not find one exact. Would think this dates about 1910, give or take.
Old brass candlesticks are tough to determine age on. I think this is why you are not getting much response. With those enclosed bottoms, I...
Hard to say, as the style is not distinctive. I kind of get a Biedermeier or maybe an Empire feel from this. This would place this as early 19th...
Agree completely..... so much better than what we usually see here. Also, your photo is incredible. You might try the top tier houses but, if you...
Cool thing! Likely English. Hard saying value in this condition. Those veneer chips actually hurt value more than you might think since they...
W. A. Lokel? Seeing the second signature.... Lekel. Google doesn't seem to like either interpretation. Probably too modern and a regional...
My, what a daunting and fun task. Best of luck to you and do keep us informed. I wish you were closer to me as I would love to have a look....
Teens-20s . To confuse things further, I would call this a writing table. ..... :) I think of a library table as having a shelf. A desk is...
Rochester is probably not all that different than where I am but maybe a bit larger. I would play up the Amish built aspect of it. Would not be...
Didn't realize the maker was A-America from your post. Might be helpful to better spell out what you are asking. There is no real style to this...
Separate names with a comma.
