Does seem to be made for a specific purpose. Could indeed see this used in a drafting room with rolled material stored in the various cubbies....
Tough sale these days. I doubt you will recoup your money. I just saw a similar era, nicer form, settee priced at $55.00 at the thrift store....
Interesting. The more subtle circular motif in the center give this more visual interest for me. While the linen liner frames were ubiquitous...
Doesn't look like too big of an issue. A little Howard's Restor-A-Finish (or the Old English) would probably make this look a lot better. If...
Would call it a Mid-century modern arm chair. Value is very much location dependent. I would shoot for $50.00 here in my semi-rural Midwest...
I vote amateur/student. Looks unfinished to me with the drawn details.
This does not strike me as B&H. Is it really bronze or cast iron? Actually, your last close-up seems to show spelter showing through. I think...
I have been in a few different antique malls over the years. The best ones were the most expensive, actively managed, and had professional sales...
Killer shade and 1920s is right on. You don't give size but assume it o be on the small side and it looks like it has an uno fitter. Correct? As...
Ghopper is spot-on.
Yes, soapstone. Think it has some stain applied.
Here is the one I picked up. About the same size as yours. No holes, per se, but I guess a cord could pass through. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I don't think terribly old. I used to import some cheap ones in the 90s and they were better quality than this. I am sure some better ones are...
Couple more things to show. This first one took all my will-power not to buy. 60" solid oak table with 4 chairs that don't really go with it. No...
I am not recognizing it either but it is interesting. Would think someone would want it.
You did. John's collecting drove a wedge between him and his family. His two daughters really had no idea of the breadth and value of the...
Agree with Ghopper. Often called a lamp table as well. Value with the damaged/repaired top would be minimal.
Good solid furniture but a hard sell here. Amazed you were able to get $500 for anything similar. Can't hardly give them away here.
Unusual variation that I have not seen. For what it is worth, based on what I can see, I don't believe this to be a period example. It may be...
LOL!..... Modern original (?) blatant rip-offs of authentic antique Bergmann bronzes.
Separate names with a comma.
