Nice. Am on my phone, but doesn't really look like burlap - are you sure it isn't the raw linen this artist typically used for his portraits?...
Still a nice looking piece, actually more attractive to my eye without the handle... ~Cheryl
From an 1889 retailer's catalog: [ATTACH] ~Cheryl
Brad - I'm all for repurposing, and not really opposed to altering and/or painting crummy factory-made furniture - but that desk has to be one of...
It's an1880s-90s jewel casket, would have most likely been lined with silk or plush, and should have a handle with wires that go underneath and...
The mark with the dragon-like creature shown on the links with Alvin marks that Susan posted... ~Cheryl
Sorry, didn't see any evidence on that 925-1000 thread regarding the dating of the reversed mark, just an unfounded assumption by the OP (his...
Probably dates right around 1900, reminds of their 'Majestic' multi-motif flatware pattern enough to think it may have had the same designer....
Unfamiliar with the artist on that green piece, but doubt I'd like it any better in person. Do feel the same as Brad, when viewing abstract...
Eh, I like a lot of modern art, including this artist's work (have you seen one in person?), though I'd probably prefer a Morris Louis - but do...
Well, I like it, but doubtful I'd ever be able to buy it - if I did own it, would sell immediately and happily retire... ~Cheryl
Dark blue and polychrome are my top two, but like all colors... ~Cheryl
My Mom has collected typewriter tins, with their often wonderful graphics, for years - never put much money into them, but some have a bit of...
The 'button' is soldered to the top rim, it doesn't move, the box is held closed by the tension of that button on the bottom rim... ~Cheryl
Unless someone glued it shut, shouldn't be that difficult - just push upward from under the bottom edge of the button with the tip of your...
It's a faux Limoges box, there's no real catch there, just a decorative button (sometimes it's figural, butterfly, bow, whatever), tight enough...
Stamped brass filigree and chain links (the chain is missing parts), along with the look of the glass, says 'Czech' to me... ~Cheryl

Neither Denmark nor Norway used .835 silver, would be .830. Can't make out the mark on the right either, and the 'SILVER' mark is a bit odd, but...
Looks like a 'Royal Vienna' style cabinet plate, the center is a transfer rather than hand-painted, it's probably from right around the early 20th...
