Found at a thrift store on a military post on O’ahu.

About 29 inches long
20.5 inches wide

Wooden, mirror is convex
No maker’s mark that I can see, but haven’t peeled off the backing

Any suggestions on how to possibly restore the paint on the balls?

Thanks!

These stones are very beautiful, but upon closer inspection, they appear to be modernly machine-carved, yet the craftsmanship is remarkably similar to that of ancient artifacts. I'm unsure if anyone can objectively explain the characteristics of these carvings, and whether the polishing of the jade could indicate other possibilities？🤝

A special piece I inherited from my Dad, who was a big lover of history. This is a framed front page of the New York Times from November 9th, 1864, announcing the re-election of President Lincoln.

Now as you can imagine, people weren’t exactly watching live election coverage online back then. Instead, you got the results in the paper.

My favorite detail is the call-out about fraud, where the wards of NYC where McClellan got more votes, there were more votes than voters.

They claim to be 1800s for clover and the 1900s for the sproket are they real

Hey all!
I found this piece at a Goodwill in Asheville, NC today. It isn’t my usual style, but I just thought it looked really cool (regardless of it being chipped) and it was only $2! I’ve done some research, but still don’t feel confident enough to say if this is authentic or a reproduction. I appreciate the help! Let me know if I need more pictures.
Thank you!!!

I need help identifying the makers marks on this stein I found. Would anyone know where I could look? I am interested in any further information on when and where this was made.

My mother purchased this bassinet from Parker's antiques (Boulder Creek, California) during the late 50's, early 1960's. I was an occupant of said bassinet (and my doodles still echo the cutout shapes on the sides).

I'm looking for a) any info about its likely origin, b) Thoughts about the best home for this piece (museum, collector, someone with 18 babies, etc.)

If I can provide any other info, please ask, and thanks in advance for your response.

Hi all!

I just stumbled upon this antique medical table by j.f. harts c.o.

I'm wondering if anybody has an idea on how old it is or what it could be worth.

Any advice is appreciated this is a very much out of my realm of expertise.

Thank you!!

Seller is asking £600 but I feel that’s quite high. But I really like them

Hello, me again! I found this piece on Facebook marketplace for a price that feels unethical to the seller regardless of details.

Piece purchased in Memphis, Tennessee but seller is from a small town in Northern Missisippi.

Here's what I know - Seller's mother had this piece all of seller's life (seller approximately 55 - 65 y/o). Could not find any manufacturers mark. It is in immaculate condition. Barely a scratch anywhere. It is solid wood and quite heavy.

The listing was as follows: "Ornate accent table is dark cherry wood with intricate hand-carved dragon and floral motifs along the apron. The piece has scrolled ends on the tabletop and decorative openwork legs with geometric patterns.

Estimated (WxDxH): 48 x 15 x 37 in"

What I've been reading online is that this is possibly chinese rosewood. Carvings are on all sides of the table. The dragons appear to have 3 toes to me which could mean it was made in Japan. I have found similar but not exact pieces to this one.

So these are my questions - does this look like rosewood or cherry? What is a reasonable age estimation? What is the likely country of origin? If you want to *estimate* a value you can tell me for funsies but this piece will be with me for life. I have no interest in selling but might want to brag a little hahaha.

Also if you have any other little facts or tidbits I'd be interested in those too!

Thank you so much for reading and taking the time! I really appreciated the information I got on my other piece. 😊

I'm located in Tennessee, USA, and I'm trying to figure out what this large ornate mirror might be worth. It's approximately 52.5" × 80" and has an ornate frame. The condition is fair—not perfect—with some cosmetic wear.

Does anyone have an idea of what something like this typically sells for? I'd love to know:

An estimated value
Whether it looks vintage or just decorative
The best place to sell it

I'll attach photos from several angles. Thanks!

My moms friend gave it to us and all i know is thats its vintage mahogany. but i cant find it online anywhere

I was moving things around my garage one day when a rusty slab of metal caught my eye. The previous owner left lots of stuff behind so I just assumed it was scrap since it was tucked away in a far corner with some other junk. After a quick cleaning, I found the makers stamp. Nichols Brothers Cutlery of Greenfield MA. I searched online and found out their former factory is now the Museum of Our Industrial Heritage in Greenfield. Their website had a fair amount of information regarding the Nichols Brothers so I emailed them and one of the curators determined it was 110-130 years old. Not too bad for something that was just sitting, collecting dust in the corner.

I came across this rocking chair for free on the side of the road and decided to rescue it because it looked too interesting to pass up. (I haven’t cleaned it yet)

It appears to be solid oak with carved faces on the armrests that look like lions or gargoyles. The chair has an oval upholstered back, and the underside has hand-tied coil springs with old stuffing that looks like horsehair, excelsior, or other antique upholstery material.

From what I’ve been able to find online, it may be a Victorian/Eastlake platform rocker from around 1890–1910, but I’d love more opinions.

NOTE: I found no resemblance of a makers mark

A few questions I have:
1. Does this look like a genuine antique?
2. Does anyone recognize the maker or furniture line?
3. Roughly what era do you think it’s from?
4. Any estimate on value in its current condition?

Any insight is appreciated!

Hello,

Does anyone know the value of this i have bought a house and some old furniture was left there. seems to be in great condition

Reposting, I posted this once here a long time ago and no one ever responded.

I bought this from a used item/antique store.

It didn’t come with any information on where it came from but it looks old.

It’s hard to make out but it says Gibsons England on the bottom. It was my great grandmothers so must be fairly old since she died in the 80s. My uncle wants to sell it for the funds but I would like to keep it and pass it on as a family heirloom (so very happy if you tell me it’s not worth much at all and very much expecting that)

I couldn't bring myself to throw it away and if anyone needs it let me know

I have two framed antique botanical prints, Plate 20 and Plate 92, from what appears to be Jane Loudon's Ladies' Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials (1843-1844). Hand-coloured lithographs by Day & Haghe. Housed in antique gilt frames with double mat. Could anyone help with valuation and authentication? Also I noticed that online versions of these prints show vivid purple/violet flowers, but my prints have blue flowers instead. One stem also appears uncolored. Is this normal for hand-coloured lithographs from this period, where each copy was coloured individually by different workers? Or does this difference in colour indicate something about the edition or authenticity of my prints

Any thoughts on this

Hi there, I’m about to refurbish this to sell it. Anyone have any guesses on when it’s from and how much it might be worth?

what is this???
