Well, at least we're pretty sure my works are by Harry Cummins, since they are signed as such on the back. But I'm just frustrated that although...
I think we can do a better job of figuring out the likely history of this chest rather than just being a collection of parts (though it is that as...
I was hoping someone would have some thoughts about his work based on the sold work I found that seems to have the same signature and style, but a...
No, the style of this chair is a bow-back with arms, and that is a proper 18th century chair style which is collected just like the others. So the...
Looks pretty new to me; center drawer in particular, both finish and how it is mounted. Certainly looks 20th century to me, guess about mid...
There was a lot of silver junk, some of it real silver, some not, being sold on the streets of NYC back in the 80's marked Tiffany. Without...
Can I instead vote for so ugly it's ugly? :bored:
I feel like I'm falling backwards every time I look at it. And no, I haven't been drinking.
Unfortunately there was a time in mid 20th century when a fair number of old tables were cut down to make the newly invented "coffee table" that...
Is it for records (usually held upright) or sheet music (usually held flat, like the shelves in your cabinet). I'm afraid the value is not high...

Thank you both, I'm sorry I missed both of these comments the first time around! I'm outside of Boston, so see a lot of New England work. Really...
Think its safe to say that photo grid drawing was taught before perspective drawing :artist: ;) Well, maybe it is just because of the slant of the...
Not just rosewood, but rosewood laminate. Four belter-style chairs at the MFA boston, the only two they firmly attribute to Belter were made of...
I certainly agree. It is painting over genuine antique furniture with the expectation that "it can always be un-done" that makes me want to...
I don't look for or own any Belter furniture, so can't speak from experience. I haven't even held any up close, so take this with a grain of salt....
Double the purchase price at auction is the rule of thumb I've heard and seems to be used on Antiques Roadshow, more or less. But I'm curious,...
Spoken by someone who has clearly never tried to remove paint from an antique piece of furniture. Occasionally you'll get lucky and it will mostly...
That does seem a somewhat unusual end for a leg, but could be original since all four the same. Best way to decide is to view the foot from...
That's what I'm talking about - ORIGINAL painted furniture with ORIGINAL paint (except the last one). I ALWAYS make room for an antique piece with...
