I think this is turn of the century, give or take.
The cut out bothers me a bit as well in terms of whether or not this is older. It is not a true heart but pretty close. There was a company that...
Looks right to me. More of a kitchen table than a dining table. Would have had leaves and probably a 5th leg in the center. Looks more like ash...
Looks like the place has not changed much in 60 years.
Dimensions to start, including thickness of the top. Pics of both the underside of the top and the bottom of the shelf, including hardware.
Took OP at his word that it is a painting. I see the spot you are talking about. It is certainly possible for paintings to have water stain...
Agree, not fumed. In correctly done fumed quartersawn oak, the medullary rays are darker than the background. It is just the opposite of stained....
This second table is in the arts and crafts style. Whether it is period or not can't be told from these pics.
I am with Alec. I think this is better than many and eminently salable. Depending on how much under $50.00 you got this, would determine whether...
I'm with the others on this. I worked for an unfinished furniture store in the 80's and we were still selling furniture like this then. By the...
If it were mine, I would use panes from the bottom part to make the top part whole. I would, then, make a new window out of the remaining parts or...
I think very early 20th century is about right. Has some Asian influence to it but believe it to be Western in make. Possibly English. I don't...
Odd way the signature is applied there. I don't see Sergeev. Looks more like Selgeev but not sure if that hash-mark, that I am seeing as an L, is...
Believe me, this would sell faster and for more money in my neck of woods with a good distressed finish on it than it would refinished. A two-tone...
Think this is probably more trouble than it is worth. Looks like a good candidate for paint to me.
Have seen worse but it is a factory painting.
That was my thought as well. Very nice print but I hate that matting.
Though subject matter is very different, I think these may be the same artist. The color pallet and style is similar, as are the signatures.
Maybe Unaro?
In a way, the business of art is very much about signature chasing. I generally post about business so your observation is certainly valid but...
Separate names with a comma.
