He passed in 1975.

I picked this up for $25 at Salvation Army yesterday. I am curious if anyone here knows anything about it as Google searches have only turned up dining chairs in this style (no rockers). From what I could find out, it is possibly from the 1915-1930 era.

This is table gifted to my grandad from his parents. It is very pretty and we are wondering where she is from? Thank you

Hi I was wondering if this arm chair is worth getting restored to sell? Looks to be a Victorian reproduction and I think it has been repaired once before based on the hole pattern around the edge where I think the old original bottom used to be. Any help would be great! Thanks

Mirror my gma purchased in the late 60s early 70s, all info is welcome. Ty

I thrifted this table and chairs the other day and just can’t seem to find info about it anywhere. I was wondering if someone here could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Hello I has gifted three chairs and I can identify the maker. I hope you can help. I know they are older I just don’t know the maker

Hi there, looking for some input and hopefully an ID on these chairs we have had in storage from my late great grandmother. Not exactly sure on their age but we have had the idea for some time that they are from the late 1800’s, but we could be way off. I only recently took them out of storage to use in our new place (hence the dent in the cushion). Additionally, I am debating on whether or not it is safe to use any sort of product on the wood, specifically Howard Feed-N-Wax, so any advice there is appreciated. I just don’t want to damage it if I am dealing with something that needs extra or specific care. Also I would like to clean the seats if at all possible, but considering the potential age on them, I figured I would consult the community on that point as well, though I do have a hunch that they may have been reupholstered at some point. Lastly, it looks like some of the varnish(?) has worn off on one of the crests and I’m not too sure if it would be safe to apply anything there either. Any sort of input helps!

If further photos would be useful, just let me know.

I’m trying to get the idea of what this is and maybe the value of it? I love it and love the idea that I own something very unique. I can’t find anything like it on the web.

My mom is trying to get this loveseat and couch reupholstered but she needs to find out what the fabric and pattern is, I have been trying to ID it for a few weeks now and I’m desperate, more importantly she wants to know what the material of the fabrics are so she can buy as close as possible if not identical fabric even if the pattern has to be changed (which she’d hate but is a sacrifice she’s willing to make).

I recently acquired this beautiful Mid-Century Modern sewing box / vanity table. It features distinct geometric angled side panels, a pop-up lid with a bright yellow interior drawer, and a dark A-frame base.

On both sides of the wooden underframe, the letters "JMG" are clearly stamped into the wood (as shown in the close-up photo).

I believe the piece is of German or Scandinavian origin from around the 1960s, but I haven't been able to trace the "JMG" manufacturer stamp in standard directories. Does anyone recognize this maker's mark or know which workshop or designer these initials belong to?

Thank you so much for your help!

My boyfriend bought this chair years ago from a rather reputable vintage seller. I’m trying to convince him to get rid of it because it’s falling apart lol. He doesn’t want to because it’s old and he payed a lot for it so i was considering getting it reupholstered for Christmas but I don’t want to waste money if it’s actually a pretty worthless chair. I can’t find any markings on the bottom or on the hardware.. Also i assume with the amount of love it needs it may just lose all its value getting reupholstered anyway.

i’ve tried to do a google image search and can’t find any sort of brand or details. any ideas?

It’s a 28-35 yr old Bassett 7-Piece Solid Oak Oval Pedestal Dining Table. I inherited it from my grandad and am trying to figure out what it’s worth!

There is a stamp underneath the table that looks like “1956” and writing on the leaflets “71”. Not sure if the leaflet writing is from production or year it was made?? I’d like some clarity on how old it is as well.

Hello--last year I moved into my new home and this secretary dresser had been left behind. It is a very beautiful piece, but I'm looking to find it a new home and would love some guidance on what its age might be and any other details. Some parts look newer, like the phillips head screws in the top back of the dresser, while other parts seem older, like the nails, as well as the fact that the bottoms of the drawers are shimmed (I'm not sure if this is the right word, I tried to include a picture of it--they've been carved at an angle to slide more smoothly). There appear to be slightly different types of joinery for different parts of the drawers as well. Would love any info on this cool piece! Thank you :)
