The Brasso would probably work with more elbow grease. I assume the autosol is stronger. Not a product I am familiar with. Actually, the...
Wow! Great find from the trash. The condition issues can certainly be forgiven in this case. What material are your shades made from?
These are modern. Show up from time to time in different sizes. Likely North African origin. Think these are steel/iron. Magnet should stick.
Odd thing. 60s for sure. Possibly Scandinavian.
If solid brass, you should be able to polish it and the spot you did polish looks fine. It is just not as yellow as the other. It probably had a...
I also think relatively new. Neoclassical fantasy fabrication.
Yes. That dense red clay and base configuration is the giveaway. Looks to be hand turned and decorated studio pottery. Someone had good skills.
The surround is pretty non-descript. Nothing really art deco about it.
Pseudo-French styling but American made. hate to say this but probably would not sell for much unless painted. Would likely fly out the door then.
Johnny is correct. The wood is walnut.
Can't tell much from this picture. The whiplash line border around the peacock is an art nouveau detail so that would put this circa 1900.
There are thousands of Wysocki prints on ebay, with a few hundred being limited edition. Of these, here are the current sold listings.........
Do you mean Charles Wysocki? Can't find anything searching Wyosoki
In the Arts and Crafts style but not of the period. Killer glaze but the damage just kills it.
Looks like silverplate over some kind of base metal. Think you improved them by polishing.
Can't help much but this will serve as a bump. Too bad about the handle. Doubt it is really worth fixing but someone might want this as-is or...
Agree with the circa 1900 date. Looks to be mahogany or, more likely, other wood stained to mimic mahogany. Would think just as likely to be...
Think 20s would be the earliest for this but could be even a decade or two later. Can't tell much about the metalwork from this pic. A close up...
While the table doesn't scream Biedermeier, you will see some similar ones searching that term. 1815 is about the earliest date for the style so...
Don't think this has a lot of value. Value is in use for decoration. At that size, it could be worth several hundred in very good condition. I...
