<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Darkwing Manor, post: 518913, member: 738&quot;]I would snap that up! Surprisingly, I found some references on-line. Just a cursory skimming shows then as a turn-of-the-century interior finishing firm, with some of their wallpaper designs archived at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in NYC. The son, Otto, was also involved in a shady real estate development scheme.&nbsp; <a href="http://daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2018/06/the-dunsbro-120-122-east-31st-street.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2018/06/the-dunsbro-120-122-east-31st-street.html" rel="nofollow">http://daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2018/06/the-dunsbro-120-122-east-31st-street.html</a></p><p>I like the paint embellishment a lot and it fits with their company profile as painters and finishers. I did not see any reference in the on-line articles about them manufacturing their own furniture but as a prominent company&nbsp; I&#039;m sure several east coast museums would have more info in their archives. As far as restoration goes, it appears that you might be able to lighten the darkened finish&nbsp; with just careful re-amalgamation, skirting the painted portion to avoid lifting the paint.</p><p>And please, at least go back and carefully remove the tape from the wood finish, if it hasn&#039;t already damaged it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
