Reminiscent of Chiparus but obviously someone else's take on it. Believe this to be a more exact copy... [IMG]
All I would have been able to say that it was either Austrian or German and of nice form and quality. Nice find!
Nice box but can not help with origin. Doesn't look Chinese to me either.
Probably one of a kind and hand done. Without a signature, it will be very hard to attribute. I would clean the polish out with mild soap and...
As Ghopper said. Hard to tell age on this from the one photo. Looks refinished? Could be a bit older than suggested but need photos of interior,...
Bow back windsor kitchen chair. Splat is unusual and will make it very difficult to find any more. More typical would be all spindles in the back.
Interesting pieces. Have never seen any exactly like either piece but will take a stab. I get a folk-art vibe from your first piece but could be...
It is American, MCM, and walnut. Probably by one of the main stream companies as opposed to designer. Look for a maker's name inside a top drawer.
While a lot of chip-carved furniture comes from India, this does not scream so to me. Possibly Frisian (Dutch), as an off-the-cuff guess.
Clay is not of the type used by most A&C potters. More typical of Southern potters. Think amateur/studio of unknown age.
Agree, Mexico and not terribly old.
Muddler?
Circa 1900. Small oak buffet or server. Looks like it doesn't need much restoration. Has already been stripped. Something not too fussy...
Mid to late 19th century, country piece. Doubt it is shaker which is a whole other class of furniture. Could be Amish but that doesn't...
A close up of the back of the chair would also be helpful. Nicer than average pieces but not terribly valuable. Market is down. Value is highly...
Imperial made good quality furniture but not the highest end. Your cabinet is in a historical revival style that blends elements from various...
Agree completely with Ghopper on this other than value. Would be about half that in my semi-rural Midwest location. He is not all that far from...
No harm in refinishing but would avoid sanding. Makes the piece look too new. Really just looks like it needs some cleaning and some finish...
Does the strainer thing somehow fit on the hook to cover the scoop?
Thanks for the pics. Agree with my early assessment. Think more likely in the earlier range than late. By 1880, the hand cut dovetails were...
Separate names with a comma.
