Yeah, even period american 18th century queen anne & chippendale dressing tables have taken a big hit price wise these days.
Agrees, very nice refinish on that ribbon figured mahogany.
Not a clue! Sorry! wish i could add something but, if it ain't very old american furniture i am pretty much lost! Brad might be able to though,...
LOL, Oh Dear! Not exactly what OP wanted to hear!
Is there a photo?
Hmmmmm, it could have historical value that exceeds it's antique value. Naturally, museums are notorious for coaxing objects/resources from...
Yeah, that could very well be correct. Here is an english example, about 1550, notice the slats are MIA. OP chair has all the hallmarks of the...
I'd guess that's about right. Called a Throne chair or X frame folding chair or sometimes Dante chair. These chairs have been around for centuries...
Off thread but since no one is posting lately, let's talk about late chippendale (1780-1800) a bit. There is a period side table coming to market...

Well, thread consensus looks like SE Asia, if you could ID that secondary wood on drawer that could confirm it. It doesn't look american or...
$8000. just a little over actually. Not sure that was crazy high but yes, it was expensive. Pilgrim century stuff (1620-1720) can get pricey in a...
Sides, your post prompted pics on drawer! and my earlier post i think said "indicates" , pic's have fooled EVERYONE who messes around with...
Nah, it's fine, i am wrong about old furniture often, particularly when photos are involved!
No, i think the drawer construction is the real deal, you can see the scribe mark on dovetails & the bottom of drawer with that bevel going into...
Sale is Aug 26. I am interested but is not going to get overly interested the way i did years ago on another early box called ruth! Just thinking...
