Really looks like it doesn't need all that much work. I would start by cleaning it well with mineral spirits (white spirit in the UK). This...
It is full sized but compact. I found several 18th and 19th century small desks with pop-ups. None were child sized. None showed the mechanism...
I found a few desks with pop-up organizers that were much older than this. They were also more functional. The size and configuration of the...
Maybe a music box cabinet? Front tambour to access the control and maybe had glass to view inside. Top opens to access the works.
Be careful that you do not shock and crack the glass by putting it under hot water immediately. You have to raise the temperature slowly. Art...
I see S. Paaschan. Could be either medium mentioned. There is also an oil pastel that is sort of between the two.
I think 50s - 60s. With the paint, it is pretty much just used furniture at this point. In our group shop here in the Midwest, this would be...
If you go to the forum you want (for example Antique Discussion), you should see a small box at the upper right that reads Post new Thread. Click...
Nice painting! Based on the car in the background, I wonder if this could be earlier than the 50s.
Have known about the elusive Naugas for a long time. Have never seen one in the wild, so to speak. You could bet that I would snatch it up were...
Hard to say if this is a true antique or a reproduction from this picture. If paying big money, make sure you know what you are getting.
Picked up the vase today and it really looks better than the pic. The bottom has a pretty deep indentation and a rough pontil mark. It is...
Maybe S. Sellet?
Another vote for O. Fichter. Are you sure these are lithos? Looks a bit like multi-color block prints.
It is not too difficult to splice in some new veneer into that corner. However, it will always look like a repair since it is impossible to match...
How cool it is that you have cataloged all these ads! That last set is pretty bizarre. I also like the fact that it is pictured along side a...
Interesting. If I had seen this set here, I would peg it 1920s-30s based on outward appearance. Certainly, nothing like this was being made here...
Mid 19th century? Surely you mean 20th century? I was a bit confused by this set and my first thought when confronted with such is that it...
I maybe wasn't clear on my comment about the elaborate waterfall sets being post-war. What I have found is that the earlier sets were generally...
I have not been able to confirm this either. I have seen this attributed to Rindskopf but I do not know if this is true or not. The coloration...
Separate names with a comma.
