The basic shape would be described as a bowl, but does not seem to be a real common type of Pima basket. Most are more flared, or more shallow. I...
the problem is, i don't really know what i'm looking at. this is something i'm definitely not an expert in. i just took some more pics. i think...
i probably need to get a better close-up of the base from the inside. there's a lot of what i'm assuming is some sort of old food material worked...
that's who i initially showed this to, someone online that deals in this sort of thing. were there no Pima baskets prior to the 1890s?
hi everyone. i found this basket a few days ago. It stands approximately 8.25 inches in height and 10.5 inches across at the top from outside...
thank you. there is acid burn on the backside and along the outer edge, but outside of the image itself, like the picture above. the paper is...
i made the decision to buy this thing based on that Christies sale. it cost $12.99 at the Goodwill. Witsen studied with Whistler and is...
what is it that you see that looks acid burned? the paper is darker on the backside, but it feels good, that is to say, not brittle.
it's not an original period frame. it's a nice, probably 60s or 70s era slender walnut(probably) frame. i'm not throwing the frame out either,...
yeah, and that's why i've kept all of the backing cardboard, in case that's the best option. but, it will cost a lot more to ship and require a...
hi everyone. i picked up this European art print last week. it needs a cleaning, but the artist is somewhat desirable(Willem Witsen) and...
i was going to post, after my initial answer i went in and examined the surface closely. Aquitaine is correct, it's basically the same design as...
nothing. it appears to be some calligraphic design, however it could be Chinese characters too. i don't speak or read Chinese. it's difficult...
one of the problems i've had with identifying the tray is the style of art just doesn't look like anything Chinese, at least not that i'm familiar...
yes, and i have no idea how old it is, but the way this tray fits into the top ridged space, i have to assume the table was custom made for the...
this is something i found online, with reference to the table's design and construction. it does resemble a simple example of a Chinese design...
thank you. i wasn't seeing anything similar in any of my searches.
i feel as if, at this point i need to apologize. i certainly wasn't trying to upset anyone. the whole Chinese thing actually came about because...
hi, i've looked at all of those trays. it's one of the things that i'm hoping to learn more about here. those all appear to have paint applied...
yes, that's what i believe they are as well. i think this is a marriage of sorts. i also think there's a fundamental misunderstanding here as...
