I believe these would be called American Victorian pressed back chairs in oak. They are not particularly valuable - there's a set of 6 similar...
Thanks, I like it too, and I'll check out the termite situation. The seller turned out to be a woman (hard to tell with some French names) . I...
Look to be Stiffel's version of French Carcel oil lamps from the 19th Century like this one. 50's or 60's vintage. [ATTACH]
So I decided to buy it and here are some more photos showing drawer details, and underside with and without drawers. Looks and feels well made,...
Yes, me too, and apparently all three drawers have working locks with keys. [ATTACH]

Looks like 1960s vintage and walnut to me. Almost all MCM furniture is veneered , including a lot of very high quality and expensive Danish...
See a lot of this with 20th Century pieces. No thanks. [ATTACH]
It would have more value if the designer were a better name , like Paul Frankl, or more MCM in style. It looks to be in excellent condition. It...
