Looks like pot metal with a bronze finish to my eye. See if you can scratch the bottom of a foot or somewhere inside. If it scratches silver, it...
C-roll desk in a mahogany finish. The vinyl would not be original. 1940s-50s to my eye.
40s-50s Chippendale-esque. A decade or 2 later if those screws in the lock are original (which I doubt). Better than 99% of what you can buy...
A charity thrift store would certainly take this. I didn't mean to imply that it was totally worthless. If inclined to do so, you might list...
Right. I wasn't sure about this so thanks for the clarification.
Picked up this set recently. Sold as silverplate but the little crystal pot lid has a minerva head, so sterling. It also bears a maker's mark,...
These are my last finds of 2024. Just got around to photographing. Nice snowy day here so a good time to stay home and work. I never find...
May be earlier than I thought. 20s-30s maybe.
Can we see the entire piece?
Would call it a setee. Early 20th century, mahogany. Edwardian if in England. Nice bones but of little value in this condition. No one wants to...
Can we see the back? I am thinking 30s-50s for this but kind of a guess at this point. I think regionalist in style. Has a somewhat naive quality...
That smudged bottom treatment usually means a newer decor import.
Think you need to find a good auction house that specializes in French furniture. If in the US, that may be difficult but sometimes some of the...
What Ghopper said.... Wood is mahogany.
Terustioni?
The first is a colonial revival piece from the 50s that is supposed to look like a modified maple sap gathering bucket. Probably intended as a...
Maybe slightly earlier by a decade or so. Renaissance revival but not an over-the-top example.
Clock case
Agree with a circa 1890 date. Detail under the arms is called sick and ball. Hard to tell wood from these pictures. Maybe birch with a dark stain.
Maybe not worth all the effort of refinishing part. Maybe just paint. Could still contrast by doing two-tone.
Separate names with a comma.
