Super little example of Clifton art pottery. Early examples like this are hard to find.
I don't know anything about Finnish pottery. I do know I like it!
Cluttered is right in all aspects. The original chair was circa 1900.
I think the artist had some talent. Whether or not they were able to make a living as a painter remains to be seen. There is a certain...
Mahogany veneer. The bottom is also veneered. The substrate could be plywood, particle board (less likely on a 40s piece such as this), or solid...
Looks right to me. Might have originally had a knob instead of just a bolt. I doubt this was meant to be adjusted continually. You probably set...
I think modern ..... 70s or later.
Think it was always a drafting table with the angle adjustment for the top. It could be as early as the 20s but could see this being made the...
Does look like pottery on the bottom. I couldn't even hazard a guess where this is from. Looks like a decorator item for Western consumption so...
Would call your first an articulated shelf or piano lamp. You would have seen these with a variety of shade configurations as mentioned above....
I see some elements of Craftsman or Mission styling but, being metal, this is really just industrial/commercial. I imagine they were made the...
Reproduction. You can tell by the quality of the casting. See these crop up from time to time. Often get misrepresented as old.
Think the earliest it would be is early 20th century. Could be significantly later if Belgian, for example. They made similar things even post...
You are welcome. I agree that the Queen Anne back doesn't necessarily fit with the more French styled front. I think this is a good example of...
Think the clay color is wrong for Pierefonds but was also thinking along those lines. Think we can probably rule out Denbac and Metenier as well....
Have never seen one of these in the wild, so to speak. It is nice to see one pop up here. I think a die-hard Brush-McCoy collector would want...
My first thought was Belgian but that dark reddish brown clay is throwing me. Maybe French or, possibly, Japanese. I can't think of any American...
Thanks! The thrifts here are quite productive and I hit them regularly. We have a very mobile community here and they don't care one bit about...
It is a modern Mexican pre-Columbian replica. Not sure if it is Mayan or Aztec but you should be able to pin it to one of those two cultures.
I think the front piece fits if you consider this might be French or French influenced. It is also why I think this is probably a 19th century...
