Hi! I’m new here, so I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place to post this! I saw this one in a house that’s for sale, and I’m wondering if it’s worth saving. There’s a big chance that whoever buys the house might just throw it away. I know it’s from Germany and that it was imported here (it’s currently in Poland). I don’t have the means to restore it myself, but I really don’t want to see it just wither away in some landfill - if it has any worth - I mean who knows maybe there's nothing special about this bed and I'm just overthinking haha

Sorry for the tragically low quality on the last photo I didn't think I'll make a post about it lmao

Looking for ID. It was from my parents, they had a fire and everything was cleaned like 45 years ago. If there was a paper tag its gone, no plates I can find. Dovetail drawers, metal hardware on hinges and finger grooves instead of drawer pulls. "Coleman" is hand written on the back.

I got this headboard from a vintage shop a few years ago and was told by the seller you could tell this was authentic MCM by the stamp on the back. I don’t see any signifier of the manufacturer, so hoping someone here may be able to help me decode the stamp pictured. TIA!

Hey everyone, I picked this table up from someone for free off Facebook Marketplace in July and am having some trouble identifying it. From my research, it looks like it was made in October, 1961 from the stamp on the bottom of the drawer, but I can’t find an exact match to the piece with the serial number. I’m new to this and want to restore it or have it restored professionally but don’t want to begin the process until I’m sure of the type of wood and everything. Thanks so much!

I stupidly bought this Eames chair while wearing platform Dr. Martins boots, thinking I’d fit in it. I realized upon getting it home that my feet (without the boots) don’t even hit the floor.

If anyone knows why this version of the Eames Plush Aluminum Group Office Chair is so abnormally tall, I’d gladly appreciate it.

About five years ago, my grandparents downsized into a smaller neighborhood. Since they would no longer have a guest room, they gave me their bed, dresser, and nightstand.

All I know about these pieces of furniture is that they belonged to my great-grandparents, and were probably made in North Carolina.

If anyone knows what style these pieces are made in, I’d gladly appreciate it.

Ok, so my Dad bought this couch in the 1960s and the tag reads ‘Distinguished Upholstery by Heritage’. It’s an orange chenille plaid design. My father always kept things in great shape and after its life being used has been kept in the garage out of sunlight. The pile still has decent depth and the cushions are still in great condition. Sorry the pics aren’t too great but I’m sure you get the idea.

Dimensions
96” Width
32.5” Depth
26.5” Height

If anyone could tell me more about this piece it would be greatly appreciated!!

Me and my roommate just thrifted this for the new place, and we noticed a sticker on the inside that says 'HAMMERY' on the inside of the bottom drawer, and a tag that mentions a quality inspector on the bottom. The shadowbox part is lined with black velvet. We also noticed that there was hot glue and spray paint, so we're really unsure if it's actually vintage or just trying to look vintage. Any info is appriciated!

I inherited this table set from my grandma. I couldn’t find any identifying markers on the bottoms of the chairs or tables besides the stamped “HH.” Can anyone help identify it?

Hello all! I picked up this coffee table today on marketplace and was wondering if anyone could help with ID'ing it. Using Samsungs built in reverse image search it is returning me that it is Gilbert Rohde for Brown Saltman. Is this correct? If so is there anyway that I can tell if this is a authentic piece or not? The markings underneath of it read "477", "2041", and "1.46". It measures out to 36in L x 17in W x 16in H. I can take more pictures if needed. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I was passed down this cabinet by my grandmother years back, but it's time to let it go. I've been told it's MCM, but not exactly sure on its model. To be honest it doesn't fit my new living space. Riverside CA.

This is my parents china hutch which of course held her china. She was going to donate becuase so many of her friends have had to just 'trash' theirs since they weren't able to sell. But this is Drexel and it pretty good shape. Is there still a market for hutches like this?? It's big and it's heavy.

Already made one mistake with furniture, I don't want to make another :/

I know she’s not super old, but she’s my first Drexel! My heart is happy (and only for $12) 🤣

Hi. I just got this desk. I bought it because it fits the look I want to achieve in my future home office. I cannot find a label on it. I included a photo of the only stamp I can find. I think it is a Governor Winthrop style revival piece.

Edit: I have always been aware it was called a secretary. I used that word in my online searches when I was looking for one. I should have put that in the original post.

I did not pay a lot for it. It’s not an investment. I wanted for how it will look in my future space.

I cannot find a stamp or label from a manufacturer. I just wanted to identify the manufacturer and approximate age. I was guessing 1940s.

Thank you all for your help.

Edit 2

I think it is a 1940s Maddox "Bachelor-Scale" Governor Winthrop Secretary. Maddox Table Company is the answer I was seeking.

Thank you all!

Hello, I’ve recently picked up this chair at an indoor flea market and noticed it has some mildew(?) and wondering the best way to clean it without damaging it. Also, if anyone could point me toward any information on the history/ possible time period of this particular chair, I would be grateful. Thank you!
