This is what i expect to see in period desks of this style Harden Slatted desk, 1910 [ATTACH] Early Stickley, 1902 [ATTACH]
I dunno, I am not sure exactly what this is, i don't think i have ever seen it before, course it is way out of my field of interest. Was this...
Yeah does seem very similar form & could well be older than i thought. It's just not what i think of when period Mission/A&C is mentioned.
Yeah, very similar, good eye Judy!...
It's A&C or Mission style but i don't think period, it looks fairly new. Another tip off that it isn't period is, almost the entire desk except...
Yes, here in the states it would be, a settle is a whole other thing here
Improving is one thing but, 600 BP = $750 USD, i just don't see that for this piece anywhere in the states. Not even new orleans, where victorian...
Indeed, very lucky in the States to get that number, it might be different over there.
Agrees, is it english?
Ditto! I had no clue about the value of these utilitarian furniture forms. Take the humble bucket bench for example, pottery people will pay big...
Yeah, they can be, no doubt & hideously expensive as well. I once watched a lady dealer friend of mine who collected spoons pay over 10k for this...
Yeah, what Brad said. Sometimes you see them with small glove boxes on top or a mirror or both, but that large drawer on top with overhang was a...
This was a design feature of this style, 1850s-1900 and beyond, very popular in it's day, sometimes referred to as "empire revival".
Yeah is, early american spoon racks/cupboards are HIGHLY collectible with better examples going for thousands.
Well, it IS an antique piece, no doubt about that & certainly better than sawdust furniture. I'd say $160. is fair and no problem for personal...
Yeah, sees that now, the restoration isn't the best. The nails to reinforce the drawer dovetails, looks like new drawer runners as well, then the...
Yep, they are.
Yep, is late Classical but, as Brad says, the pulls are Federal Hepplewhite so, If pulls are original to piece, guesses 1830-1840 or so. If not,...
Well, would not let me enlarge as much as i wanted, photo size limits here but, those 2 edges are very close, paint decoration wise.
Generally speaking, paint can be a complicated subject, particularly early paint. If you like the present paint decoration & want to preserve it,...
