Agree with Johnny. A lot of this kind of thing came from Italy in that 60s time period. More recently produced in Egypt and China and yours...
A good rule of thumb is, that if it was expensive when new, it is more likely to be expensive today. Designer furniture holds its value for the...
There are certainly elements of art deco to this and it is of the same period. Most specifically, the way the exotic woods are geometrically used...
20s-30s traditional revival furniture. Seems to be better quality than some we see with all the different woods used. Condition is a bit of an...
Not sure what it is but it is not maple. No salesman's sample would utilize different woods like this. They would make it as true to what a...
Most original Asian paintings have little value. Like all original art, it depends on who painted it. Most of us here do not read Japanese or...
Think it is brass. Has some age to it. Hard to say where it was made since not really distinct enough in construction.
I like the idea of a home made jug for a moonshine still. Looks like something is supposed to fit on top. Think the handle came from something...
Didn't we do this one already? Looks like a 20's 30s table fitted with a newer leaf mechanism. Not sure when these came available but it looks...

Agree the first looks like factory art but the signature looks like Hofa to me. The one signed C.T. looks like it could be a print. Despite the...
I think Don's answer is spot on but think it could be as late as the 50s. I have seen these double sided picture/mirrors before but they are not...
The half hand signal is a good one to know. Over here, it is usually done by swiping your hand across your neck as if you were cutting off your...
Would think it should have some branding inside.
Thanks Spring. That is kind of what I thought. Made with some machining and hammered afterwards.
30s-40s waterfall style Chiffarobe. This was not particularly well made furniture when new and value is nominal. That said, it is probably worth...
Funny.... I was going to say what Silverthwaite said. I thought your answer thoughtful, well written, and entertaining. ;)
Would have to be paintings. Most of the other antiques are not one of a kind and could be replaced if necessary. The paintings are the...
Up front where I can see but not usually smack dab in front where everyone can see me. Try to blend in to the crowd. I don't bid surreptitiously...
Separate names with a comma.
