Have been away from home for several days. Just got home and will post a new pair later tonight.
Cheryl (Dragonflywink) is spot on with this. Patina is chemically applied and probably lacquered afterwards.
I don't see this as being a real place. Painted purely for decoration.
Looks like we are done with comments on this pair. These were both done by the same artist about 20 years apart. Based on the cars in the...
This really looks like faux marble (cultured marble) in the new pictures. A look at the back side should make this apparent.
Mengel is medium to low range quality furniture. Some of their stuff from the fifties is pretty good. By the 60s, the quality had declined a...
Have seen chairs with this mechanism but never a settle. I think 50s or later colonial revival and maple is a very good bet. With that little...
Quite a few on ebay without signatures. Only one sold for $30.00. Found another similar sold for $25.00 on liveauctioneers. The only signed...
This very well could be. Can't tell this from a photo. My comments were based on the assumption that it is real marble.
A: Had never really noticed the slightly askew roof-line before it was mentioned here. I like this work a lot. Definitely has a WPA feel to it...
It is in a neo-classical style and could have been made most any time. The scale of it makes me think late 19th to any time in the 20th century....
Do these pieces go together? I'm confused. Also see differences stylistically.
I would think this is a transitional (Federal to Empire) candle stand. I am torn as to whether or not the top is original to it or not. If not...
If that is indeed a single 2 ft. wide board in the center, I am sticking with well over 100 years old. The height of the American empire period...
They are not cropped in any significant way. When taking photos, the image always gets skewed a bit so cropping square will eliminate some edges....
You can tell this is a period piece by the size of the lumber used in the top. Based on the splits, that center board looks to be almost 2 ft....
Pair #3 Painting A: Pen and ink / ink wash approx. 10" x 12" [ATTACH] Painting B: Colored pencil Approx. 9" x 10" [ATTACH]
Empire mahogany circa 1840.
Looks like maybe we are done with these two. Opinions were again mixed but people seemed to generally like these two better than the first pair....
Grim Reaper?
