Most old things belonged to people who are no longer living. Their lives and the circumstances of their deaths need not be attached to inanimate...
I would look at Zanesville or, possibly, Robinson Ransbottom but not sure about either.
Rose Fien? Tren? The last name is tough.
Would think so with that bottom.
I think more likely a library piece to store and view maps, drawings, etc. This could be for some kind of public institution but just as likely...
Just used modern furniture. The ad says Victorian style so don't think they believe that they are old. Our Habitat for Humanity would have no...
Ditto 1920s. Value is not that great for the buffet. Probably no more than $150.00 here in semi-rural Midwest at retail. Maybe more in larger...
As indicated, this is a gesso coated frame. They are prone to chipping and losses due to moisture infiltration. Repair is tedious but not all...
I'm afraid I don't have too much to offer here. I almost get the sense that this is an older panel that has been made in to a chest with other...
I don't think the quality of the casting and finish work on yours is up to par with that of the earlier examples. Notice the excess metal at the...
1920 or so. Could be American but could just as likely be English or French. I think it is better than most used furniture but is not yet...
I think cluttered has this right. 1930s sofa or console table. Little narrow to be a library table. Looks like walnut or some other wood...
I think the pre-WWII estimate is about right. Maybe as early as the teens but more likely 30s. I think I would have been tempted to just remove...
Interesting. Looks like someone adapted a 1920s-30s gateleg table to use a modern expansion mechanism.
I think 40s or later. Mahogany. Size? Not a lot of value and really dependent on where you live. Here in the Midwest US and if of medium...
Potentially worth thousands to the right buyer via the right venue. Here in central Podunk IL, I would be lucky to get a few hundred. In a Paris...
I hit thrift stores 3-4 times a week. I go to the local auction sporadically. I shop the group shop I have my booth in regularly. I attend a...
Just about every year I find one or two items worth some good money for pennies. Last year, it was a Teco vase. The year before, it was a Nick...
Odd thing. Wonder if it is some kind of retail display piece. The recess really doesn't seem wide enough to be functional as a desk.
I think 40s is probably about right. Hollywood Regency in today's terminology. Maybe Italian or French but wouldn't rule out American. Just...
Separate names with a comma.
