I think we are circa 1870 on the parlor set. I am not real sure about the desk. Would like to see more pics. I am thinking from about the same...
Agree with the 20s-30s dating and likely English unless similar was made in Australia. I have no knowledge about the furniture industry there or...
Didn't we do the wardrobe and armoire before? Some kind of import (Mexico, India, etc.) and newer on the first chair. Second is a Morris chair...
Soft bristle brush on the gesso parts. Other surfaces can be wiped down with a damp cloth. You just don't want to get it too wet and avoid water...
Popular subject for all kinds of artists. Yours is executed better than many. I can find nothing on the artist, assuming that is a signature on...
Los Castillo is one of the better makers and this would be a desirable piece. The loss of inlaid stone and plating really kills the value on...
I think the whole thing pretty new. Stripping the paint with paint stripper is probably the only way you will get it off. This may remove...
Tough fix. I doubt any of the above methods will work as a permanent repair but maybe worth a shot. However, adding more water runs the risk of...

Just realized that this is iron and steel (missed the part about magnet sticking). Assumed it was copper since the other examples shown are. The...
Just conjecture. Any time you see two virtually identical pieces without trying, I think one should question authenticity. There are so many...
20s or so seems about right. Agree that the knobs are replaced.
Water dipper? We have a virtually identical one in our shop which makes me wonder if it could be a repro.
