This item came to me from a distant relative who had no information at all about it. There are no markings identifying the maker, the year made...nothing. I found a website that lists a very similar one as "1930s American Classical Wooden and Steel Cedar Lined Trunk" and that's the only real info I have about it. The photos look almost exactly the same as the one I have. It has steel decor on the corners and slats, leather handles, it is cedar lined, the locks are a lift and clasp kind of thing...don't know the exact name of this type of closure. The lock is broken off so no indicating marks there.

John Stuart piece, missing handle.

I have had this print for many years. Until I l today I didn't know the name of it or whom artist was. That is the only info I know. The two I viewed online had writing b we low as mine doesn't and isn't signed. It has rips and a few little chunks removed at edges. I've never had in a frame and it is very frail at edges from age. It was originally made by Francois Forster. The measurements are 56.6x41.9 cm. That's it! Thank you in advance.

This bureau was purchased in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, in 1989 for $325. It was at the estate sale held at the home we were purchasing, and has traveled with us to 2 more houses over the last 34 years. One of the wheels on the bureau is off, but we still have the wheel. The marble is intact, with a slight chunk off the underside of the rear corner, hardly visible if looking at it from the top. We have always used it as a bureau to hold paperwork, photos, and the like. When I moved it last, I removed the marble top and noticed the Matthews Brothers stamp you’ll see in the pictures. I have done research on the history of the company, so I know about when and where it originated. We are now looking to sell this piece and would like to get an idea of it’s worth.
