For modern tastes, this set may prove to be more popular. As an example of Berkey and Gay's workmanship, the other is superior. While you see...
Value really depends on where and how you intend to sell. You may find this thread on a different B&G set of interest:...
As others suggest, vintage at best. Many made in Italy in the latter part of the 20th century. Many still made in Egypt and the far East today....
I am a firm believer in furniture paste wax. I prefer Johnson's, partly due to cost, but as good or better than some of the pricier brands.
Paint away. This doesn't have the design that people who appreciate Simmons furniture want for the most part. Lots of information about Simmons...
I also think 19th century. That three board drawer bottom has to be a replacement even if a later piece.
Wood looks to be mahogany
Most of these look like pretty standard minimal security cabinet/door lock keys. The more complex keys would have been for locks where security...
30s-early 40s art moderne (or machine age) table torchiere. Looks complete to me.
Agree completely. You have some old interesting keys in that lot.
Kind of thing that is really hard to tell from a photo. I think I may see the tell-tale sign of resin at the edge about 5 o'clock in your second...
Agree not terribly old. Hard to say what it would be called. Definitely see this as a kitchen piece
Think you could post in either. Sometimes get posted in metalware or PGP as well, if applies. Usually, the same eyes will see it.
A magnet will not stick to pot metal either. Could be brass or bronze but more likely plated. If you do a fairly deep scratch test on the bottom...
Agree, modern but of nice quality. Would have been expensive when new. Only worth what someone is willing to pay on the secondary market. We...
Saw in the other thread that you thought this might be bronze. Most likely plated pot metal.
Hard to say since these were made pretty much the same for decades. Lack of detail makes me think 20th century. Wood looks like some species of...
Barrel back tavern chair. Does seem to have some age with that single board seat. Wood is pine, so thickness of seat and back rail is to give...
Oh my …. 1970s bordello :wideyed: The Hollywood Regency crowd would probably like it. Would not be surprised if this was American made with...
As suggested, not a lot of value these days. You will probably do better in a suburb of Chicago than Johnny would in FL or even I in downstate...
