Removing the retaining clip as sabre suggested which would be my first call. Cutting with a Dremel on a piece of hardened steel like this would be...
This may be a definition thing. As far as I can tell, cross-stitch is the type of stitch used here, and AFAIK, that and other stitches can be used...
Thanks for the comments. To follow up, the framing is not original from when made, but circa 1960's in my opinion, back is still sealed. Put some...
First old sampler that I have come across and owned, so all help welcome. All writing of Biblical quotations (plus a border), and no flowers or...
Look brand new to me
yeah, bad pics, but I'd guess oak rocker from turn of century or so. I would also guess made in US and not brought over from Ireland.
Brad, @verybrad besides your shop you were doing some pretty impressive estate sales at the beginning of the year. Did you get those finished...
I'm afraid the writer of the article is a bit out of touch. Only one pic is of antiques, the rest are all mid-century furniture. Mid-century...
Very cool. Thank you for the interesting discussion. And again INH found something similar! Amazing group here!
I'm not seeing evidence of it being antique, though there is so much paint it is hard to tell. The oversize joint makes it seem newer, not older,...
I think the appeal of Knapp joints was their low cost and speed to make when compared to hand-made dovetails. Not sure they are really stronger (I...
Another one bites the dust. I saw today that the July Brimfield show has now also been cancelled. That leaves only the September show still...
Yes, you need better pics, but going to be early 20th century, like 1930's or so likely. Not mahogany, but another wood stained to look like it....
Thanks, I thought so too. Not the kind of carving I would normally buy, but I was struck by the quality of this one. Would love to know whether...
Do you mean the Grant Wood painting, farmer with pitchfork?
I agree; top is cut with a band saw, not a pit saw so mid-late 19th seems about right. Maybe an old barn board? I think built by home craftsman...
Google curtis jere sculpture - there were a lot of metal sculptures produced in mid-century by the jere company, and you come across them a lot if...
Hey, @Ghopper1924 , you know much more about this type of furniture than anyone else here. What are your thoughts on this chair? Can you identify...
This tribal arts category isn't really appropriate, but none of them are, and it is a hand carved piece of wood. I think the light-weight wood is...
Meanwhile, the thrifts are starting to show signs of life. @journeymagazine seems to be taking advantage of that (said he waited in line for...
Separate names with a comma.
