Could have something to do with a family history or organizational symbols. Otherwise, pure carver's whimsy.
Yeah .... something doesn't look quite right to me. I don't necessarily see plywood but that top looks like a surround was made for an insert....
Would expect a serving piece to have more space between the shelves. Think this is probably for magazines, papers, and the like. I am sure this...
Agree with Ghopper. Nice chairs! $100.00 per chair in a set of at least 4 seems about right. Hard to get much more than that for any set here...
We struggle to get $250 for roll tops in better shape than this in our shop.
Looks like champleve and relatively modern.
Pic is too small but what I can see makes me think an electric reproduction.
In my neck of the woods, if set curbside, it would quickly disappear.
These frames are not terribly common but are out there. The embellishment is usually made of cast gesso. As you can guess, a lot of the...
It is a Mostique variation. Unfortunately, the least desirable one. Still a great find and buy.
No reason to believe this is not real. Nice find! Looks a bit like woodbine, though it usually has more berries in a cluster.
Most Goberg was marked somehow, even if with just GERMANY stamped somewhere. If this is unmarked and tinned vs. painted, I doubt this is Goberg.
Pics are not really sufficient to tell wood. Looks like it could be mahogany but, being from HK, it could be something I wouldn't necessarily...
Hard saying, as these were made for a lot of years. Carving is not the best but better than some. Would think at least from the 50s or maybe as...
Looks like modern African dyed soapstone.
Painted steel? Any marks? May be by Goberg. If so, likely pre WWII. Otherwise, could be as late as the 50s when there was a bit of a resurgence.
I think this more 80s-90s and probably Italian.
MCM chests tend to do fairly well. Value is dependent on where you are and how selling. If it were mine in my semi-rural Midwest location, I...
This is a splat-back Windsor style chair in pine. Not an antique but a good sturdy chair.
Ditto what Ghopper said ;)
Separate names with a comma.
