My dad refinished a cedar chest I purchased for $80 off of a local rummage sale. It’s not Lane, but it’s from the 1940s. It’s at my folks house for now until they find time to haul it back. Very grateful for them:)

I wish I would’ve grabbed a photo of the inside, it’s beautiful.
Dad replaced the lock too.

I've had this chair for a while and absolutely adore it. The closest I've come to finding a maker is the chairs by Jorge Zalszupin. The floating arms and legs are beautiful rosewood. Shes a project piece with flaws in the fabric and missing a wood band around the back. Even so, she's a very pretty chair. 🙂 Any ideas on it?

I saw this on Facebook marketplace about a year ago, but didn’t snag it in time. I’m trying to find something similar but can’t get the google search right. Reverse image searching isn’t pulling up anything. Does anyone know what this is called??

I managed to snag this (maybe haunted) possibly vintage trunk that had been abandoned outside an apartment building. It's in decent shape, but needs new handles and some new interior lining. Before I go crazy on the restoration, I'd like to figure out where it was made, however the tag has been badly damaged and the name of the company is gone. There is nothing on the outside like a label or even a stamp on the bottom, just this paper label on the inside.
The lock is gone, too, so I'll have to find a new one.

Has anyone seen a label like this before?

I recently acquired these unmarked chairs and wanted to find out anything I can about them. We need to purchase a table that will pair appropriately. Obviously, these have a lot of character so don't want something that will compete. Any ideas and information greatly appreciated!

I've been having a hard time finding info on this table. I've seen posts with photos from collectors, but not with much information. I know the drawer is for silverware, but not much else. The table is black & white with squirrels. Please let me know if you have any information. Thanks!

Just wondering if there is a market for this love seat. I also have a sofa to go along with it. It’s roughly 40 years old and never sat on. Not looking for a price check just an interest check I guess.

1820's Hitchcock antique end table..

Trying to find out more about this item if anyone could tell me more I would appreciate it..

I thrifted this gorgeous lamp and I was curious as to where it's from, l've tried reverse image searching, looking at listings, looking up descriptions of it. And I really can't find anything other than I'm pretty sure the body and the lampshade do not originally belong together, any information is appreciated!

I just bought this at a thrift shop as storage to keep things more organized. I really liked the style but I’m so curious how old you think it is? It seems to be kind of a frankenfurniture with different types of hardware I tried to figure out to age. The lid looks like maybe it was added. Someone at the shop said that it is 70s or could be much older and is a blanket storage.

It is built with wood planks and reminds me a little of a boat or a deep cradle without the lid. It had that bat shaped hardware handles on the side that I know can date far back. And in the other photo it has those indented brass looking nails.

Any guess or info would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I have two of these 6 person tables. They were my grandma’s. She probably got them in the 60s or 70s though they could be older and maybe passed down to her. I’m not sure. I normally use them as side tables with the leaves dropped. I’d appreciate any info to help me identify them. Thank you!

Picked up before it was junked. Looking to get an idea of age before deciding how to fix it. Don’t think the poorly done dark stain is original.

Found this couch on marketplace and I'd love to know more about it! I already suspects It's a reproduction

But i got it from my grandfather and it’s looking great from the restoration.

I picked this little table up and know nothing about it. My wife thinks it was a bad purchase and thinks it’s ugly. Trying to prove her wrong here. It has great inlays and looks pretty old. If anyone has information on it, it’s much appreciated. Note, I purchased this for $12.

Ich habe zwei tolle Clubsessel ergattert (ein paar Jahrzehnte alt). Ich muss für Erneuerung der Leder erneuert und kleinen Reparaturen daran als auch für neue Polstergurte investieren. Lohnt sich das zum Weiterverkauf?

Picked up this pair of barstools at Goodwill and can’t quite figure out their age.

The nails and rivets have a bluish build up so I’m assuming they are copper, or majority copper. And the tops do appear to be leather. No nails or screws used anywhere besides the upholstery. Any thoughts?

Google Lens says VERY OLD or 1950s 😑
