I get more of a 40s-50s vibe from these. A look at the plug might help to date. Will probably never find out who made them if not marked. That...
At that size, I would think a modern decorative piece. May be Hydrocal or similar. It is a plaster-like material that is harder and shows...
Size? Material?
Looks like mahogany in this photo.
Circa 1900. Late Victorian. These are usually oak but can't tell from your photos. Looks like it could be something else. A look at the top...
I want the house it fits with.... :rolleyes:
Certainly possible but seems a bit small for an institutional setting. Of course, don't have dimensions so could be larger than I think. I am...
Would be found in a house like this ...... [IMG]
Just old dark varnish. If you look closely, you can see the quartersawn oak wood grain. Tried to find similar but came up blank. Have seen...
I think probably American. Late Victorian, transitional to Arts and Crafts. Circa 1890. This is higher end furniture that appealed to men for...
Since you're not getting any answers, thought I would give this a try. Not finding anything on your artist. Besides the possibility of these...
These are Empire revival circa 1910. Likely part of a parlor set and birch rather than cherry.
Don't think this configuration is original. Took a chest of drawers and used just the drawer fronts to make the doors. Note the rough plywood...
Also found an Esther Motz. Only found one piece and it was dissimilar.
Don't think it matters much and the signature may be purposefully illegible. Looks like a factory painting to me.
My first thought was Italian. I then see that your comparison piece is also Italian. Searching antique Italian marquetry chest brings up other...
Looks like a 2 board top. Would think 19th century.
I agree that this is 20th century. Would lean to a 30s-40s date but suppose it could be a decade or two earlier. The dovetails are machine cut.
These are steel so refinished much like you would repair an auto body. Sand and prime before painting. Optionally, take down to the steel and...
Now that the subject has come back around to paint, I might point out that the OP's piece was probably not originally painted. Also, while quite...
