My father-in law acquired this rocking chair from an estate sale in the 1980's. I will try to take a picture of the hardware, they look old. Does anyone recognize the craftmanship or style? Idea on how much this may be worth?
I found this behind a floor length mirror in the foyer of an old (1886) house my daughter just bought. We had to move this piece of furniture/mirror to clean and paint behind and this bracelet was just covered in what looked like 100 years of dirt! It is 7" long and has a unique clasp that actually screws together. I've discovered that this is called a barrel clasp. I was able to find what looks like an exact replica made by beadalon. Everything else looks like silver and mother of pearl. I thought the lighter pieces were made of mother of pearl but I've seen other similar ones that were carved of ivory. I don't think it's made of ivory as it has a sheen that reflects in the light. I'm no expert so if you have any questions please ask. Thanks, Dave
Item has 2 glass doors on both sides with shelves, 2 drawers in middle with small 2-door cabinet under drawers and small mirror on top. Has Paine Furniture Co. sticker on back (Boston Mass) and a large black stamp that I think says 37 ISH. I don't even know what to call this item...maybe a dresser, a buffet, I'm really not sure. Anyone have any info on this item?
