Values for all your furniture are highly dependent on where you are located and how you intend to sell. Furniture doesn't ship easily, so one is...
So this looks like a painting on Masonite to me. Picture of the back may prove otherwise. But if it is Masonite, that wasn't invented until 1924...
Thank you muchly. Your suggestion made me take another look. And made me wonder whether what I'm interpreting as "Strange Ink" may not be a name?...
I am no good at image searching, so hoping someone else with the necessary skills may be able to find this. It is obviously a true etching when...
Hide glue is my goto glue, though I also use Titebond carpenter 1, exterior 3, even epoxy depending on what I am gluing. Hide glue is largely...
I was afraid you'd say that :arghh: I forgot I had even posted this thread, and only saw it because I was looking for an old post about windsor...

There are staple pullers made for upholsters that work incredibly well. But for occasional use you can use long-nosed pliers or even a fine...

No, on the contrary these circles are not decoration. Every drawer on this piece has them and has them at the same spacing, including the drawers...
The first thing I do when examining an upholstered chair is to pull off at least a corner and usually all of that dust cover. It serves no purpose...
Did a bit of googling, and this wood may be “grey hibiscus”? Like this Bali carving: [IMG]
Well yeah, but for better or worse, the limited categories on the forum means that this is the category where most of the Indonesian art shows up....
I knew it was newish, but wondered if this style of carving, using wood to determine design (as done with some Chinese stone carving) was a...
That’s dowel construction, not a dovetail. Dowels were heavily used in factory furniture from about the late 19th century (late 1800’s), but I...
Did you hear back from sragowfineart?
Well at least unusual to me, and not really a mask, since there are no eye holes, and a bit smaller than traditional bali carved masks. I have...
Harry Gottlieb the painter died in 1993 in NYC. On the other hand, there are currently at least four Harold gottliebs currently living in Florida....
